Wrong though? Seems like he's just having a different experience. If anything it should be slightly worrying that one person can have a complete dud of an experience and another can have an amazing experience. Randomness and all that but it sucks if you're the guy having a shit time with it.
When you exploit the game and rush through it, and do not make a concerted effort to actually explore beyond the bare minimum, then you deserve to have a hollow experience. There is no guarantee that you'll see anything, and that in itself should be more than enough incentive to go explore. Most of what daymeeuhn said has been proven false, simply because he did not take the time to actually try things that are in the game or go find the variances that this game possesses.
