I resent consoles for that, as I every game I played from a console was same to me, Legacy of Kain,Devil May cry,Shinobi or God of War. Not to mention copycat hordes of Japanese RPG's with all look alike designs and all the flashy animations.

Not that I dislike Legacy of Kain's design, but the whole series was a boring grind of combos and jumps.

The games you mentioned are similar because they are all in the same genre. I would think that's obvious. It's like playing age of wonders, dom3, heroes of might and magic and warlords and saying all PC games have basic graphics, are turn based, contain zero action and have rubbish stories. The very first thing you said about them makes it pretty clear you have virtually no knowledge of console games and will continue making baseless generalisations. So I'm not going to argue with you.
