Is this bloody pathetic or what? plus a nostagic treat

My friends
I've been playing Dead Space 2 and while enjoying it I've found myself only playing about an hour or even half an hour a time but when I go to my PS2 I'll play Resident Evil 4 for about 3-4 hours or most likely much more.
What I find pathetic is that the more I play games on my PS3/360 the more I realise that I get more enjoyment when I play my older games, its funny actually since we are advancing so far with gaming: better graphics i.e Crysis, more cinematic gameplay i.e Batman AA, better storytelling i.e Mass Effect but instead I'd play these games once or twice and never touch them again where games on PS1 and PS2 I'd play over and over again, I mean for crying out loud I can probebly play Resident Evil 4 with my eyes closed and still head shot every enemy but it never stops being fun where games like Batman: AA suddenly becomes sort of boring to me on my second playthrough.
I don't know, I think the main reason is that all games this gen are feeling like the same and that theres little to no charm and pretty much zero originality and the chance of seeing truely original games mostly thanks to all the fuckwits that only buy Call of Duty and call every other game that isin't a shooter shit.
You no what? fuck this gen, if I could I'd take us all back in time to when gaming was simple and at its finest and when devs put their heart and soul into their games and not make 4 hour games and expect us to pay £40 for it Star Wars force unleashed 2 I'm looking at you or have franchises that should have died years ago being released yearly (seriously fuck you CoD)
Bleh I'm gonna play Gitaroo Man.
Also for anyone who loved RPGs on PS1 heres some nostalgia music for you <3

but seriously I love DS2 but like so many other games this gen it feels like a game I'll play for a while then forget about.

Most older games felt harder. They usually offered some slight challenge even on an easier difficulty. Nowadays it feels like most games cater to the most casual player possible, and even some of the harder difficulties are rather easy. On older games, you felt good finally beating something that took time and work on...nowadays you're just plucking away at the dozens upon dozens of 'achievements' a game has, where the real sense of achievement isn't there aside from very few hard ones.
At least, that's kinda how I feel about it without writing a novel.
Gaming has become more about marketing than the product these days. Especially around consoles. I blame all the thirteen year old boys addicted to Halo and CoD along with their moms who just want the kids to stop crying.
Well strictly speaking the only indie game I've been playing the most is Super Meat Boy, and for the user made content I've actually gotten back into Little Big Planet.
1. It takes you MONTHS to beat it.
2. The story is amazing.
3. Its on the Playstation.
4. You can transform into a freakin dragon. Lets see Call of Duty do that.
