Yakuza 0 is the last time I was blown away

To this day, best story in a video game IMO

Clair obscure, easily. Silent Hill 2 remake and Inscryption before that. I'm sure I'm forgetting something else in recent memory, but definitely those 3 games.

Inscryption! Dude, it is hard as hell to find another huge fan of that game, but it hit PERFECT for me. Inscryption for sure.

It's hard to take a story seriously, if a realistic character from a cutscene turns into a ragdoll once the cutscene ends.

And this is what I expect from AI and next gen consoles: blurring the boundaries between directed and in-game animation.

That makes sense.

I wonder if Nintendo is gonna water down any of that stuff

The stuff's already been watered down for the American M rating which Nintendo's fine with.
The United States not having an IRL equivalent to PEGI 18 or CERO Z has forced studios to make every AAA game on par with PG13 movie content and well below what we get with R rated.
We end up having AO reserved for porn games as opposed to being the equivalent to an R rated film, an EXPLICIT CD or a PEGI 18/CERO Z game.
When China really comes into the picture games will permanently be locked in at that M rating with both China and the US demanding most of the same censorship.
The Middle East will add a few prohibited things to the US/China censorship and the same M rating will be the world standard.

The Last of Us Part II

Geat until a terrible second half made me uninstall the game. I don't see myself ever going back to it

Seeing the mention of Spec Ops, reminds me I need to get it for the PS3...

You do. One of a kind. Very special.

The last one is Steelrising. A re-imagining of the French Revolution where the king deploys an army of robots to crush the revolution. You play as Aegis, the bodyguard of Marie Antoinette sent out to stop them. An event happens (very cool but spoiler) that enables Aegis to take agency of her own decisions.

If they're allowing Cyberpunk 2077 on the console, where you can pretty much run around naked...I wouldn't worry about it.
