I wish people would focus more on the fun factor and accessibility than they often do. It feels like I'm living in PC gaming land sometimes.

I've been playing some Uncharted 1 since I bought the PS3, and I've gotten used to some aspects of it, but I'm still not having fun with it. Also I started playing Ratchet and Clank, and it still has that dreaded(imo) second analog camera control, where you either have to always have your finger on the analog or it takes ages to recenter behind your character. A Z-trigger for instant recentering would have been heaven.

Also, I'm a little bothered by this focus on cinematic style. As I started grinding on a rail with Ratchet and everything started becoming super cinematic, really I couldn't care less. I haven't even watched that many movies. Maybe I'm old school, but I thought games were supposed to be fun first and foremost. I still remember when FUN FACTOR was a very important aspect.

Oh well, it's back to playing Pacman on Namco's Museum on my DS. I almost can't believe I'm saying this after just one month, but I can't wait to sell my PS3. Unless I figure out some games that are actually fun, that I don't have to bend my tastes and focus on visuals and bogus things like hype to enjoy.

While I understand your position, the opposite of cinematic or visually impressive is not fun. To use your same example pac man is the least cinematic game ever perhaps but that does not automatically make it fun. ( I actually find it rather repetitive.)
