Well, I guess I’m not thinking purely of mmos, but d&d has basically become a murder hobo simulator. The new edition took out most of the skills, and skills are what made characters different. Role play has been pushed to the shadows in favor of high number, fast combat. Magic the gathering feels the same. It used to be a slow, methodical wizard battle with cool art. It feels nothing like that now.
I used to think rpg games were trying to be digital d&d, and they just don’t feel that way anymore.
MTG arena seems more Hearthstonesque with emphasis placed on distracting visual and sound effects. Only checked it out because I heard the bat screech from EQ was being used by one of the black cards and sure enough it was there.
