What really made me bored with NGS was that it was so inconsistent thematically. I loved the beginning when you were infiltrating the ninja hideout. I figured the whole game would follow that ninja theme especially considering you are a ninja. But after that chapter you end up in all kinds of various locales often fighting random demons and even sometimes DINOSAURS! It just felt very amateur after playing God of War.
I can stand having little story; I loved Shadow of the Colossus. But I hate it when developers just throw a mish mash of random environments and enemies at you with no apparent thought behind those decisions. It's the same reason why I hate DMC, except that that game doesn't even have good combat.
My Top 5:
Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Chrono Trigger
My 2 nex-gen systems: PS3 
and Wii 
Prediction Aug '08: We see the PSP2 released fall '09. Graphically, it's basically the same as the current system. UMD drive ditched and replaced by 4-8gb on board flash memory. Other upgrades: 2nd analog nub, touchscreen, blutooth, motion sensor. Design: Flip-style or slider. Size: Think Iphone. Cost: $199. Will be profitable on day 1.
