I am joking, retro guys, don't @ me.
Yes, we all play games which appeal to us and which may not change much from iteration to iteration. I spend hundreds of hours every year playing sports games which have minute changes from the year before. So I guess it comes down to our personal gameplay preferences.
I've been playing a couple of ARPGs recently, and with them I was thinking that my enjoyment lasts as long as the fiction and gameplay masks the somewhat repetitive tasks that you actually carry out to progress. At some point, the fiction stops masking the underlying systems, and that's the point where I get fatigued with the game. Suddenly you become aware that here is the progression mechanic, and here is the mechanic that sets you back and makes you less powerful, and here is the gating mechanic that doesn't allow you to overlevel etc.
In the Ubigames, that process happens very quickly for me, almost right away. And I stopped playing Fallout 4 at about character level 5, and lasted 3 missions in GTA (though that was more to do with the cynicism of the game).
Anyway! I think it goes without being said that these are all personal opinions? We're not handing down dictates that game A is shit and game B is great. Instead it's, for me game A is shit etc, which is an important distinction to make.
), and I haven't tested the HMDI output, and I don't have the controllers to test, so at least it's unscientific, kinda ( 
).
