Well newer games are starting to deteriorate in quality. I remember on the PS2/Gamecube, you can be hooked on a single game for months, staying up till 2 in the morning with a friend trying to beat a certain part, with no DLC needed to refresh gameplay. Now it's all about going on edge with piracy concerns, releasing a game about 60% complete, slapping a $60 price tag on it, and putting it on the shelves and expecting you to pay the rest on DLC, and having some stupid excuse to why the game won't support mod tools.

Oh god the nostalgia. :'(

I just remember playing until 5 in the morning one summer night trying to beat Splinter Cell Coop with a friend.
And I have two SWBII due to the fact my friend's play station decided to scratch up the bottom of the CD.
And I keep the Sly Cooper series below my TV even though the PS2 isn't hooked up.
Talking about Sly:
Sly 4: Thieves in Time E3 2011 Gameplay HD
Probably the only reason I would buy a PS3. Looks like the developers here captured the techniques of the old series.

Sly Cooper 4 looks promising. I loved Sly Cooper 2: Band of Thieves. But that also adds to my example on how awesome games were back in that console generation, and how un-awesome a majority of games are starting to be now. A large portion of today's games are some just some CoD shooter flick, with the same, generic, "STOP NUCLEAR MISSILE DEVICE FROM ASPLODING EARTH", and $100 worth of DLC to buy to get the full experience. You have quite a few exceptions today, but jeez, it seems that once you're done with a campaign, that's it. You're done with the game, throw it into the deep debts of your closet/frag all over your HDD unless it has promising multiplayer. No replay value or roaming around to do extra activities.
I remember staying up till 6 in the morning on a Saturday with a friend, playing San Andreas again from Los Santos, all the way up to the first couple of missions for when you hit the Desert region. It took me a couple months to beat that game...mainly due to certain missions glitching because I saved with cheats on. And even then you can still be hooked on that game for a long time, doing awesome shit even after you complete the main story line, side quests, and activities. 2 players co-op was the greatest feature they ever put in that game.
Don't get me wrong, there are games have excellent replay value and DLC that adds to the playtime, that's been released in this console generation. I enjoy playing Fallout: New Vegas time from time, Skyrim almost on a weekly basis, and maybe Bad Company 2/BF3. Just I wish modern games re-enabled what you could do in your childhood, never get bored with a game for months/years at a time. WITHOUT the need for multiplayer/constant DLC.

I think that newer games suck because they usually are made to look good. And when something looks good, there will be a small chance that it will be good in gameplay and how the game time is spent. Of course there are exceptions, but when games were made to be fun (Super Mario days) they usually left a positive mark on the gaming history. Now the games are going like every other game. And that's what Indie game developers learnt.
Welcome to Flame War: ModernWarfare Source! I hope it has been worth the weight! Not saying or... hoping that Valve will release a non-awesome game.
And that is all why gaming industry is only going straight. Not up or down. It has some awesome games but at the same time, these mainstream-super-awesome-flamewar-warfare games.
I have all Slys. 1, 2 and 3. Fourth looks really promising and I'm waiting for it eagerly.

Well actually, I don't think we have to worry much about Valve. So far they're doing right I guess. I love Portal 2 and its improvements over the first one, and going back to Ep2 and replaying some of the levels. Plus if you get bored with a Source game, chances are there are some pretty fun, epic mods to download and try. Especially for HL2/HL1 (Cry of Fear and Nightmare house 2 ftw). If you get bored with those, you can try your hand at mapping for CS:S or Gmod and let the regenerating experience keep flowing. Source games basically replenish themselves with user created content. Hence why I've been hooked on Gmod for the past couple of years (until now).
