Why I stopped playing modern triple A games

- They have paradoxically become less advanced - invisible walls/inaccessible areas, inability to jump, inability to use items and weapons when and how you want, weapon/item limitation etc. It feels like you are on rails even when you are playing a open world game.

I seriously miss stuff like that. I remember doing silly stuff in Half-Life all the time, killing the scientists in funny ways and whatnot. I also remember a good laugh or two from Morrowind when messing around with important characters. You had all the freedom you wanted. Nowadays it feels like you're just rushing from one cutscene to the next with the gameplay in between perfectly planned out. There are a lot of times in modern games where I ask myself why they just didn't make a movie. 

So yeah, I totally get where you're coming from and I almost stopped playing AAA games completely myself. There are one or two titles each year that I enjoy. But for most of the big releases I simply do not care. Which is excluding Nintendo stuff, obviously. =P
