Yeah, you're right in saying that it's not for everyone but then again, there is no game that is for everyone. The price tag is normal. Even if you play this game for 1 month (first month is inclusive of the retai price), you're still paying the same amount you would for any AAA title and if you're even somewhat interested in the ES series then you're likely to get your moneys worth.

There's not many massive releases that will hold attention for more than 1 month. Granted there's the FPS crowd that play for thousands of hours but that's a different beast all together.

I'll admit that I've been taken by the game for a while and that I'm probably biased towards it. That said, I'm also interested to see how the reviews go. I've got a feeling that they're going to be slow burning because of the negative press it's had previously but it has been impressing more and more people as time goes by and I think the vast majority of people are starting to see its potential now that there's been a bit more openess around it. But like you said, it's not for everyone and that's totally fine!
