Going by what you wrote (with most of which, I agree), I'm not a hardcore gamer for at least three years now. QTE's and the unexplainable love for Uncharted, Far Cry, and Assassin's Creed are some of the things that annoy me most as of recently... and my taste is kinda mirrored by:
"my favorite games are either considered "casual" or "obscure" Basically everything Nintendo and Sony Japan (not SCEA or SCEE) makes, along with other Japanese developers that aren't "westernized" like Capcom and Square Enix
Stuff like Mario, Wii Party U, Animal Crossing, Gravity Rush, Zero Escape, Persona, Nancy Drew, Casual Point and Click games, Final Fantasy, Tales Of...etc"... minus casual point and click/wii party U, plus more and more niche JRPG's, and soon more visual novels... plus arcade racing...plus 2D shoot 'em ups... well, you get it.
AAA hurr durr movie-blending is usually sad for gaming, though I rarely get to say that, even though I want to make a thread on it frequently, I'm just too damn lazy to actually do it.
Also, retract that statement for InFamous 
. While Killzone has been a generic bore all the way up to Shadow Fall, InFamous actually has fun gameplay and memorable locations/characters... at least the first two did!
Try to stay away from blandness that 95% of the AAA titles are, and enjoy yourself.
