Modern games are so tedious. I don't want to talk to every npc in the village looking for side quests. I want to go from left to right jumping on bad guys and avoiding spikes

I can see the appeal in more modern games, sometimes it is nice to lose yourself in a world and be a cowboy or something, but yeah, I think something is lost, or maybe not lost, but just different enough that people still want those old experiences again because they offer something more modern games can't satisfy.

talk to every npc in the village looking for side quests

I do like talking to every npc in a village looking for side quests, but modern games make it completely tedious by putting quest markers everywhere and taking the mystery out of it.
