I thought I must not be the same gamer I used to be, but then I picked up FF tactics not having played it since its original 90's release and just plugged in 40 hours of awesomeness.

It definitely seems like the video game world is all about quantity over quality these days.
Diablo 3 seems to be an example of game that receives good reviews initially but later it dawns on many that it's actually kind of mediocre. A big developer took such a long time to produce such an unambitious game. The issues it had were obvious but for some reason weren't reflected in many of the scores it got. Whereas in the case of a game like Fallout New Vegas the technical issues dragged down the score. Kind of a mystery how that happens. Some developers just have more good will on their side than others.
