You're getting old and bitter.
I'm 41, going on 42 and I find that there are games prior that I enjoy more than most titles you list there...and I'm talking games as far back as the C-64 days. In fact, when everyone starts bitching about tweaking graphics, I laugh to myself because I remember how much worse it was so I'm pretty content with my 970 vid card on default settings. I tend to prefer gameplay over graphics

I mean you can't account for taste or disliking games just because they changed the formula.
Fallout New Vegas
the Dark Souls games
Red Dead Redemption (if you include console exclusive)
Dragon Age Origins
LA Noire
Portal 2
The Walking Dead (yes, telltale bs, whatever, if you don't like the genre its fine but season 1 was really great)
Hotline Miami
Metro 2033 and Last Light
Far Cry 3
Tales from the Borderlands (again if you hate the taletale formula probably not for you)
Wolfenstein: The New Order
Spec Ops The Line (not really for the gameplay, but its quite the experience in its own way)
FTL
GTA 5
Bastion & Transistor
I mean, these are all just games that came to mind fairly quick and you probably don't agree with some/most or any of them since I doubt you haven't played at least a few of the ones I mentioned.
They're not in any particular order, just as they came to mind. And honestly there's probably a lot more that I just can't think of atm.

I like Shogun 2 Total War, I thought it was a good return to form.
Also I consider Mass Effect 2 the best of the series because I liked the combat and the dialogue. The overall plot is of limited scope but still it is my favourite because of SO MANY good characters.

ME 2 was the best in the series because it has the best end sequence/end level of the 3 and honestly one of the best in gaming imo, not only is it great by itself but it ties in with what you did all game and makes it worth it.

Oh, yes, the ending was one of the most amazing gaming experiences in my life, I should have mentioned it. It really makes the game's concept of gathering allies worth it. And getting loyalty for them, doing the upgrades on your ship and having basic knowledge of the abilities/skills of the characters.
And they also took the time to create the "super special fail" non-canon ending where everyone dies lol, I have watched that video 2-3 times, I always laugh my ass off.

What was so amazing? Not only the villain in ME1 was way better, but evil Shepard dying was plain stupid. They nailed the characters in ME2 and part of that threatening atmosphere of impending spacial doom, but other than that, the game was consolized to nonredeemable levels.

Derpification is one thing, but not all games today are "derpified". I really think that getting old and having "seen it all, done it all" plays a major role.
I am lucky in the sense that I can still enjoy games today even after 25+ years of gaming (turned 33), but yeah, I don't get as immersed as back then.

You can look through my completion log for games you might have missed. not all are top tier obviously, but a lot of the titles you mention, are ones i'd put on the top shelf, or just underneath it, so might be worth browsing through it.

That's correct, it all slowly started in that era (although the big bang in terms of streamlining happened one generation later).
Invisible War was perhaps the prime example of such effect. To me it felt absolutely shocking for all the wrong reasons, it was the moment that I realized the "shift" in terms of focus from developers and publishers, with our PC taking the backseat and being downgraded from pilot to simple passenger (or even to illegal migrant in some cases).
We're still living through the devastating effects of such couchaclysm, though despite the indecent amount of garbage, disappointments and indecent console ports, I believe there have still been good signs and examples during the recent years, and plenty of enjoyable titles, for me at least.
It's a complicated hobby though, that requires strong willpower, patience and the ability to accept compromises.
From swallowing disgusting corporate decisions to trying to accept the design ones for the masses, by finding excamotages to make games more challenging (since the standard difficulty these days is generally laughable) or interesting with mods and the work of the community. Surviving and finding entertainment value is very much possible, although damn, it can be hard at times.  |

Still more than enough good games coming out after that time.
You are just a hater and/or hipster against modern games.
