Yeah, it's because we've played every thing 2D and 3D up to this point and there is almost no way to suprise us anymore. We've seen and done it all. It's a bummer but that's how is. Nothing will excite you like the first time you played your first 2D and 3D video game. It's just not possible.

VR is the only thing that can do that now. I haven't tried it yet though because I'm waiting for it to mature.

Why wait and deny you the wonders of improvement. It's already magical, surprises all the time. If you had waited with 3D games until HZD and Uncharted 4, would everything before that still impress you? Enjoy the early stages now, and get amazed again by the jumps in progress while it matures.

I've been playing since Atari 2600. I was blown away as a little kid playing those games because they were my first experiences. Pac-Man blew my mind. Then when I was like 6, my mom got me an NES and again, mind fuckin' blown. Sega CD was crazy because we controlled REAL ACTORS. It was like being in a movie! When OOT dropped, the same thing happened. Making that leap from 2D sprites to something like that was really life changing. 

Ever since then, it's been nothing but evolution. We had a brief reprieve with Wii Sport and motion controls, but that buzz was short lived. Everything else is just tiny improvments on an old formula. It just seems like the same old, same old.
