I was wondering if anyone else felt this way. Ever since I started playing PC games back in Diablo/WC3 days console gaming took a step back in my eyes but I still played new games that came out for it until I beat them then went back to Diablo2. Since WoW came out my Ps2 gathered dust until release of God of War 2 and FFXII but I didn't even finish those 2 games before playing WoW again!
I used to play WoW every day 4-5 hours a day sometimes more then had to quit because of work/college and a social life. I understand how people are addicted to WoW because I get like cravings to play it again lol, I know I can't though because I would get sucked back into raiding/arenas and never stop.
Ever since I quit wow though it seems like most console games are lackluster to me, they don't captivate me the same anymore and the worst part is most of them end. I'm not a fan of FPS so their online play doesnt entice me but games like God of war 3 after I beat them I don't want to replay them and thats it. It just seems like WoW ruined console gaming for me.
I also find myself waiting for a good console mmo or dungeon crawler type game that will make me feel like I'm playing WoW again. Oblivion sucked to me. single player mmo bleh and most other games don't fit the bill. I guess I'm gona try FF14 or dcuniverse when it comes out.

Try Monster Hunter 3. It seems to be the dungeon crawler game to get on a console with a lot to do online.

Honestly MH3 would be the game to make me buy a Wii. I'm not a fan of motion control though and I don't want to spend 200$ for 1 game. Demon Souls is great but it feels like a empty world a lot of times and suffers from what I think most console RPGS are like.
Flowjo pretty much sums up exactly how I feel. I want a vibrant economy and community, many different playstyles and more crammed into a console with a limited controller. It's not gona happen most likely and I have to accept it but it sucks that I feel this way about consoles now. =/
Also I want to add it seems like to certain point everyone is that way. Hardcore gamers buy games every few weeks or month and I did the same thing as a console gamer. Is it console games in general that are just less rewarding? I never had to buy a single game besides expansions when I played WoW.
