I agree, I like a good RPG or Shooter still, but I don't feel like I need more of them.

I keep talking about me buying a 360, this is for the JRPGs and, more so, for the really good original stuff on XBLA.

Same goes for PS3, I am looking forward to making levels in LBP and playing Fat Princess OverweightBig Boned Royal.

 

The biggest change for me has been live and multiplayer.  Before the 360 I never went online.  Now when I play shooters R6, GRAW, GOW online its a totally new game and experience (and tons harder people online are insanely good most of the time) online changes how it plays

 

I think many people do not care about online play.

Reasons why I don't like it:

1. I suck at shooters, I hate being reminded how much I suck.

2. Teens and tweens, I do not like them.

3. Hateful language. Yes, I know I can turn off the voices, but then what's the point, I may as well play off line.

4. People starting matches they don't intend on finishing (Mostly an RTS problem)

5. Live costs money.

6. I don't like shooters or sports that much.

 

Edit: though many, many people are playing Mario Kart and SSBB Online... just go check out their 1000+ post threads.h

Here is an example of why I dont mind paying $50.00 a year for live.  R6 I played offfline for a few weeks had a ball I still play it regularly online 8 months later.  If it wasnt for online I would have been done with the game months ago it prolongs a games life span

 

Don't get me wrong, I understand why some people really like online gaming.

It's not for me. 

I am usually done with a game after 15-40 hours.  Not always, I am on my 3rd run through of Super Mario Galaxy.  I still play Starcraft and Age of Mythologies, not online but sometimes LAN (I know, crazy).  God knows how many times I played through FFIV, VI, and VII. 

Probably a hundred hours into TF2 on my friend's account, which is about the only online non-MMO that I can think of.

Oh, Scrabble Online.

 

Before live I never played online I have to give MS props they made it so easy even us old people can use it easily
