Back in my day they used to give points for different categories. The main jist of a review was "is the game awesome at being what it says it is compared to other games that say they are the same?" Does it advance the genre, does it advance gaming.
I dn't see how you don't see skyrim as an excellent title in all of those categories.

Because it doesn't do anything Morrowind didn't do better a decade ago.

I liked that they would break the game down by these categories:
Gameplay
Graphics
Sound
Controls
Sometimes they would judge by story also, maybe we should start a game review site and give games reviews.

False. Nobody here would play morrowind over skyrim if you had to play one of those two for five hours. You can act like you would. but you wouldn't.

I appreciated the multi-category system because you could get a better sense of the game without the reviewers having to really suck the game company's  .

Only if you compare it to previous games from the same developer.
The combat is poor. The AI is atrocious and there is still that wooden feeling that's always plagued the TES games since they went 3D. The UI is clunky on the PC. It launched with a large number of serious bugs. All of these are improvements on their previous TES games (which also got ridiculously inflated scores), but hardly testaments to game design in general.
These are reasons for the game not to get a 95%. They arn't reasons it's a bad game, because it isn't a bad game. But it is not one of the most awesome games ever like that score suggests.
Nobody is going to put Skyrim the top of their list for the game they have the best memories of years after playing it. Well, almost nobody. I'm sure there are a few morons somewhere.

Skyrim's most egregious flaw is its story. Bethesda is getting progressively worse at ending their main quests. I wish they'd hand off Fallout 4 to Obsidian and stay in their lettuce patch.

Well obviously the main story sucks but I think that's something most people forgive because they know it's a sandbox game.
I don't think people should forgive the horrible AI and UI and the poor combat. Because those are pretty integral parts of any action RPG.

I still play Mount & Blade. I haven't given Skyrim a playthrough.

 You have been hating on this game before it came out. Get off the hate train already. It deserved more then 90 for sure. The only games that came out last year that I've played so far have been BF3, Skyward sword and Skyrim. It's a good game. You just don't like it. Nothing wrong with that.
