Are you losing faith in gaming?

I guess the only way to explain it is that, graphical polish aside, I've encountered very few games this gen that would've been out of place in 2007. After so long, I guess I just hoped for a little more evolution than this.

Well, what is it ? 

Are you talking about the level design ? AAA games have never been bigger, more connected, more open or more intricate than they are now ... 

Is it about the game mechanics ? The reviewers have higher standards than they did before like Halo MCC, Uncharted NDC, Borderlands THC, GOW III, Dishonored DE, DMC 4 SE, AC Unity/Syndicate, GOW UE, COD Ghosts/AW/BLOPS 3, and Heavy Rain scoring lower than the previous games or initial releases ...

Is it the content ? Games now are just as long as they were last generation if not longer with game developers pushing more immersion into the new games ...

It's not just the cinematics or graphics that just evolved that you were led to believe, were you considerate of the other advances ? 

I have not noticed any meaningful improvement in level design, AI, or controls this generation.
