No it's one thing to be like 'this is great but next time do it better' and another entirely to lie to yourself. I envy those who can enjoy the repetitive monotony that is fallout 4. Because they probably enjoy everything else that's super boring. Oh to be happy...

How could I be disappointed in something I knew was going to be garbage anyway?

It's science. Two's a coincidence and three's a pattern. Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Skyrim all showed that Bethesda were making crapper and crapper games. Fallout 4 being crap was to be expected.
 
Well, you have to consider that many people did not experience that. I, myself, played my first fallout games the year before last (new vegas), and the only other Bethesda game I had played was skyrim at that point. I'm pretty young (20) and didn't start really getting into gaming until relatively late. I saw NV, fell in love, went and played 3, was disappointed, assumed NV was better because "It's a sequal it's to be excepted, right?" At that point I didn't even know it wasn't actually made by Bethesda (in my defense, I didn't really care either way at that poiny). So I thought "Yay, new fallout, and so close to when I discovered it too. This'll be awsome, new skills, improved mechanics, more guns, more story, more explorations, the works!" There were some reservations. "That's wierd, a perk system. Well no reason it can't work." "A dialogue wheel? Why not stick with the box? Would save having to do a 'more options' button."

But, I wan't really that concerned (foolishly perhaps). There was also a lot of cool stuff to look forward to. Building my own base and scavenging, which fits really well mechanically. Upgrading and customizing weapons. Actual half-decent shooting mechanics.

The only doubts started when I started watching the early gameplay stuff. Stuff like the voiced character having a personality of there own. The fact that the wheel never expanded. The extremely simplistic perk chart. No skill checks. And thus began my decent .

I remember that review leaking before the embargo lifted; everybody on the fallout 4 Reddit instantly dismissed it by saying that the review was just made by insecure journalists who were afraid of not getting any views... I haven't been on Reddit for a while I wonder if they like fallout 4 now that it's been released.

Reddit apparently hates FO4 so much it's become circlejerk.
 
Yeah, I've since seen a thread on /r/FO4 talking about general disappointment concerning Fallout 4, at best I'd say it was received as lukewarm.
So that's good, hopefully that ups the chances of an Obsidian Fallout or a dialogue wheeless TES 6.

We hated Fallout 4 before it was cool.

Well, not kinda me, I gave it the benefit of the doubt and lied to myself for a month until I couldn't justify it anymore.
