No one ignores it.  All the reviews I read for Fallout 4 mentioned bugs the writer ran into.  I'm pretty sure they did the same for Skyrim.  You mean "but they gave it a good score anyway" instead of ignored?  Get over it.  Most writers probably never ran into serious bugs.  If they gave it a good score then that means the fun they had playing exceeded the negatives.  

Get over it, huh?  Nah, I think I will continue to point out hypocrisy where I see it.  When someone allows "fun" to override an objective look at a game, I can no longer take them seriously as a reviewer.  Of course, I think it has a little more to do with it than just "fun."  Read $$$.

Right, like "fun" isn't kind of important when it comes to videogames.  You're totally right, game reviews should just be based around technical merits.  "Fun" shouldn't matter.  

The funny thing is, when someone no longer credits how much "fun" a game is, I can no longer take them seriously as a reviewer.  That's kind of why I play games to start with so it's rather important to me.  I know people really like to whine about review scores but I don't think I've ever heard anyone try to claim that enjoyment isn't an important aspect.
