I played Morrowind shortly after it was released. Despite the neat setting it left me cold. I played it for a few hours. I played Oblivion when it was released. It was all kinds of shiny and glorious. But the repetitive Oblivion gate stuff and broken leveling system angered me no end and I stopped playing after about ten hours.
I have played 40+ hours of Skyrim (which isn't much compared to some) and think it's one of the best games ever made.
I love Cave Story, heck I love anything Metroid-y really. I spent a portion of my Christmas break playing Chrono Trigger which is twenty years old. One of my favorite games of the last couple of years is VVVVVV and that could have been released 30 years ago. I have nothing against "old" games.
But Skyrim isn't really more of the same with a shiny coat of paint. It's the first time that a game like that has worked for me.
