All these differences in opinions between game developers can only lead to good things for us gamers.
Out of curiosity, I went over to metacritic (as an example) to see for myself what were the top three PS3 games between 2006-2011 and whether there is any evidence that suggests cinematic/story in games has fallen out of favour among gamers. I let you be the judge.
2006: Resistance: Fall of Man
Fight Night Round 3
Gran Tourismo HD Concept
2007:
COD4: Modern Warfare
Elder Scrolls IV
Rock Band

I share the same sentiment. Coincidence? Or are there too many people on this earth that we now see duplicates :)?
