The console generation switch is great and all, but if games continue the current trend of ALL being a variation of the quest with tagged on 'content' to make you run back and forth collecting items to sell/trade/use to create in-game content (think of something like Far Cry hunting for animal pelts and crafting bags or weapons upgrades)...it is so stale to me that even otherwise compelling games have been leaving me very cold...

I hope Cyberpunk is different, but I feel like I have not had an "AHA" moment in gaming since I first popped in "Deus Ex" on my PC nearly 20 years ago now...hope I am wrong in a big way.
