Hate:
- Dumbed down gameplay. For example we have much less stats and stuff to keep track of and get lost and confused about in modern RPGs. Hand-holding in most action games - you never get lost, never feel confused, there's no sense of discovery to what you should do (I'm not talking discovery as in open world here, because we do have that), everything just plays by itself. The learning curve in most games is seldom steep.
- Overly cinematic and cut-scene driven presentation.
Love
- Advancements in gameplay that I can't quite put my finger on, but it's something you feel just after 5 minutes in a modern game compared to a game from last gen. For example Red Dead Redemption feels like a more natural and engaging experience than GTA3. It probably has to do with more accurate controls, more advanced combat, more complex interaction with the environment and such small details that you have come to expect from a modern game.
The first time I played Killzone 2 and Demon's Souls were both wow moments for me, to be able to "feel" the game world physically through the controller in such a powerful and heavy way that definitely wasn't there in last gen.
- More realistic, more exciting and interesting worlds and settings, better stories.
