I find myself caring more about the actual story and fun factor then the hot new thing in gaming. I still get sport games religiously (yes children, I still love Madden and think its still the best franchise, no matter what you as you young kids put it QQ about) Also violence in games use to be "hot' but now that i am older I realize it can be used to make a shallow game seem cool.
Most of all, I enjoy a game with various difficulties and respect that developers that have started making games fun and accessible to the general audience. Gaming is not for the hardcore l337 that wants to brag about a meaningless score or highest difficulty conquest. In the real world where you have to make a living, pay bills, and worry about the welfare of your loved ones, gaming should be a relaxing recreation, not a frustrating hardcore adolescent affair.
I'm just saying...
