"Back in the days Game over was Game over... not continue from the last 5 sec ago..."
True. There should be a reasonable punishment. Penalty is a motivation factor.

"I'll also add that I don't completely understand your last point. The example you cited sounds more like you're angry with games like Mario 64, Grand Theft Auto, etc. which force you to go through an elaborate open-world hub to get to the next portion. Am I reading you correctly?"
Yes and no. I really enjoyed Super Mario 64 and the GTA series. Unfortunately Super Mario Galaxy
treated us like we're all unexperienced noob gamers. The real problem is when we are forced to go through heaps of bs in order to continue playing.
"Resident Evil 4 would have been even better if Leon didn't become stronger at the same pace the enemies did. Instead, you'd have had to become a better player as you went along."
Another thing. If you conserve ammo in RE4, enemies will drop less ammo. If you're out of ammo enemies will drop more of it!! btw..I recommend REmake (good game).

"The good news about all you mention is it opens gaming up to a wider audience base"
Good point. It's all about $$ net cash flow.
