It strikes me that a lot of people want 'realism', but don't want 'realistic'! Sure games are getting bigger and bigger, but it's a false economy as a lot of the world is empty. Give me smaller and more detailed areas with greater depth; this is something that Shenmue and Yakuza are good at.
I also find that gaming has reached a point where there is little innovation anymore; you still get it, but nowadays it's more of refinement than anything else. After all, you can dress up a game as much as you want, but many adventure games is a case of going from A to B with the occasional distraction to do C and D if needed. So for me, it's more about getting lost in a world and this is where games like Shenmue excel.
I'm an inpatient gamer at the best of times; i'm 78 hours into Yakuza LAD and now at a point where i'm trying to fast forward and ram my way through the last bits just to finish it, so when i'm playing a game where I don't mind not doing much and going with the flow, then I know i'm playing something special.
