More recently I've not been enjoying general gaming so much, the reason for this I think is that many games now lack good gameplay mechanics, with fast slick intuitive controls. Instead games are now more concentrated on story telling, content and graphics, and many sports game in an attempt to be more realistic have become clunky, sluggish and boring.
I've just finished playing GTA V and while overall it's a great game (despite frequently crashing my console) due to the open sandbox world, detail and story the actual gameplay is lacking, the shooting, driving and and foot controls are clunky and unresponsive. If you were to review the game based on the gameplay mechanics itself it would be barely average. Red dead redemption is more satisfying to play largely due to deadeye (multiple shot placement), and kill cut scenes.
The last game I actually enjoyed purely for gameplay that felt good to play was Call of Duty 4, Mario Galaxy and God of War. Can anyone recommend any decent games that have good gameplay mechanics and slick controls where you get that connection between the game and the player. I think some of it is the framerate, I much prefer 50/60fps+ games, but some of it isn't.
I've been back into retro games recently, playing Dreamcast, PS1/PS2/Xbox/Gamecube, N64 and SNES games and they offer more what I'm after. Maybe I should get a Wii?
