Heavy Rain did and Beyond Two Souls did. Flower, too. I'm still playing through the Last of Us. I think I was in some library last time I played. Got seperated and when I came out of wherever, Ellie and....other lady were being attacked by monsters. I quit right after that. I played every one of the games mentioned and they just don't really do it for me. It's something I can't put into words. It's like they fill the criteria for a good game--responsive controls, good graphics, high production values etc. but something's missing.
I mean look at a game like Valkyria Chronicles or Metal Gear Solid or even Gears of War--something about those games. They have music that gets a reaction out of me, a sense of hoplessness that I relate to, characters that seem like friends. Mario games make me feel at one with the controls. Halo games make me feel like everything relies on me. When I play something like Uncharted, it just feels manufactured and "Hollywood". Even when Sully got kidnapped in Uncharted 3, I was like "meh." I was hoping he'd die. Then maybe I'd have felt something. Instead, it was just "Look at the pretty. Okay. On to the next area." LBP hooked me with its intro but then the game just felt like a bunch of Lego Blocks in different configurations. Maybe I'm missing something.
Just a personal opinion, though. I'm sure others will disagree.
