People like to hate on it because it's the cool thing to do, and it's the most recent Fallout that wasn't a MMO. We saw the same thing with Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, which wasn't as good as Vice City... until IV came out, at which point they hated IV and suddenly San Andreas was the best GTA. Skyrim was crap compared to Morrowind, but I suspect when TES VI gets here suddenly Skyrim will be the pinnacle of The Elder Scrolls.

I put like 313 hours in Fallout 4, into one character.

No, people hate on it cause it is a VERY flawed product that is the culmination of Bethesda dumbing things down to an absurd degree. Seems like the game would be good if you liked the settlement building. I didn't, so a portion of the game was wasted on me. I also disliked the voiced protagonist and lack of role playing present. Also, the wandering is annoying because a large chunk of the map is the city and it is far too dense to have an enjoyable time exploring.
