This is why I don't understand people who say that "we have come far enough, we don't need anything better than this". We have such a tremendously long way to go on animations, physics and the big bad wolf today; AI. A lot of modern games have good visuals but shitty AI and stupid physics and animations often clash with the overall realistic style of a lot of games (and also some of the more stylized games such as Dishonored).
There is so much left to do, on the top of my list is improved AI, this is the area with the biggest room for improvement, developers make use of cheap tricks and scripted nonsense and QTE's to add diffuculty instead of truly challenging AI.
