You're fortunate then, because the game has glitched many times for me; sometimes severely. I try to finish and explore everything I can, so I end up finding a lot of bugs.
Probably because I have it for the Xbox 360. Do you play it on PC/PS3?

Yes, on PC. I dread how much more broken the game would be if I didn't have numerous bugfixing mods installed. Even so, it still glitches from time to time.
Pokemon x/y and Loz skyward sword. They are (or were) way to overrated because of them being brand spanking new, i mean seriously, everyone was saying SKYWARD SWORD 10/10!!!!!11!1! Just because it was a new game, it was ok, but it was not that good

Never seen that to be overrated.
Cod
OOT
Halo

Ocarina of Time was a great game, probably the best of the series. I love Halo as well, it changes a lot which makes it a lot better than other FPS' like COD or battlefield.

There's something very wrong with your copy then. Nothing you've said is really even remotely a common or expected case.
Is your copy legitimate? Feel free to lie, but keep it in mind as a cause.
What mods do you have installed? What are these "numerous bugfixing mods"...? Are the mods very reputable, do they make safe changes to the game or do they modify base scripts, do you remove mods often and try to load a save? Etc. It sounds like a classic case of mod-induced behavior though. Try reinstalling Skyrim (rather than just verifying cache). Play it a bit vanilla, or be very selective with what mods you install and from where. Install the unofficial patches. See if you run into bugs as much as you did, or if anything has changed. If nothing has changed and you still get save corruption, or odd bugs, something else might be wrong with something outside skyrim itself.
I explore everything as well, and tend to fall badly into this "completionist" mentality where I won't move on until I think I've scoured every part of an area entirely, or at least enough to know its layout. I don't run into quest breaking, or game breaking bugs (and I bought it on launch). Aside from the occasional getting trapped between some odd polygons, NPC getting duplicated, things not correctly triggering. So on. But they're rare, and resolve if I reload. I've only had to use the console to teleport to the test area and make a clean save.
On the topic, Skyrim was very overhyped, and very overrated. Even if heavily modded, there's a very void feel, and a lot of feeling of squandered potential. That's partially because I'm weighing it against Oblivion and Morrowind. It's not as though Skyrim isn't enjoyable for what it is, I just think they could have done at least something else. I don't like being pandered to, I like getting to know a world and story someone else created and had at least some personal stake and investment in (which as a sort of essence is in turn distorted and interpreted in a personal way by others). Being made to have something for everyone doesn't have to sacrifice that either. It's not something that can easily be put into words, and it's variable, but Skyrim just didn't ever really have it. Resulting in the type of something lacking it tended to have.

It's a legitimate copy, and I noticed the brokenness before I even began using mods. For a while, several sidequests couldn't be completed, which I grudgingly accepted; I planned to use the console when everything else was done, so I could be sure that it wouldn't have messy consequences and break anything else. What made me start using mods was when a main quest broke from a very early point in its storyline. It was simply impossible to complete, which rendered the entire quest line broken. Not wanting to use the console to ham-handedly force the quest to continue and likely break something else, I got the bugfixing mods -- at least six, as I recall. These were the unofficial patches, a small quest-fixing mod, and an item-fixing mod.
After that, I will admit that I went on a mod binge for several months, installing and uninstalling many of them across at least a dozen saves. However, every time I uninstalled something major, I would restart a save. It got really annoying when I had 40+ hours in those saves, but I could only blame myself for installing a mod that wasn't as well-made as I thought. Although, it would have been better if Skyrim didn't have poorly implemented mod support.
Many saves (and mod deletions) later, I finally pared them down to what I considered essentials, then started a new save for what I hoped was the last time. That got broken as well.
Recently, I completely reinstalled the game. However, as much as I wanted a fresh start, I literally couldn't enjoy it at all. What I had left behind so long before was back, and I was reminded of more reasons why the game isn't that great: Terrible UI with glitchy and sluggish mouse support, horrendously low-quality textures, bad inventory weight balance, etc.
I'm back to using mods now, but only a very small number compared to before -- and only unintrusive things with no scripts that I consider absolutely essential for preventing me from uninstalling the game entirely. Fortunately, a quest hasn't broken yet -- but I'm not going to be surprised if one does.

I couldn't agree more. The game as a whole feels empty and nearly lifeless. I'm never as immersed as I should be; I can't help but always feel like I'm just in a world of polygons and (low-res) textures that's been superficially decorated, and not the Dragonborn in a world steeped in millennia of history. Maybe it's partially because of the amount of time I've spent regaining my progress across many saves, and I've just become desensitized and bored from having to do everything over and over. Even so, something about much of the game feels shallow and lifeless to me.
ITT: "I don't like this game, so no one else should."
There are no overrated games. How well a game is rated, depends on how many people enjoy it. If a game gets rated high because a lot of people enjoy playing it, it deserves such a rating.
That is not necessarily what we are saying, I am asking about what the people as individuals think are overrated games. If someone doesn't agree with them, they are totally free to get in a discussion. Notice I underlined Discussion, not argument

I'm believing they cause more trouble then their worth. I have vanilla PC Skyrim, with only texture mods, and build your own home.
I have never encountered any crippling bugs on 360, nor on my 36 hours of PC time.
Message me yours if you want to trade in Animal Crossing: New Leaf or just need some friends to play with. I can also do Pokemon trades in Pokemon X(or Y), but I don't have any good stuff, and the only good stuff I have is not for trade so...send me requests anyway.

Minecraft is pretty overrated. It IS fun, but not "The pinnacle of all game design"

Gonna agree with Ultimate here, Minecraft is extremely overrated for what it is. I always hear people talking about how the game has infinite possibilities, yet Survival itself is extremely repetitive, short, and gives you few choices outside of choices related building and redstone which do have those possibilities. Creative is fun, but the game isn't good enough for the praise it gets (why on Earth would anyone think this game would last forever?) and it certainly isn't good enough to deserve its own convention.
Aside from that, Pokemon Black/White seem very overrated to me. Those games were rather linear and had a pretty small endgame for a Pokemon game.
