Here is the thing. You weren't really playing RPGs as much as you were playing wannabe action games with shallow RPG features. This is how RPGs used to be. Here is to hoping more are made again!
What features, specifically, does D:OS have that these "wannabe action games with shallow RPG features" don't have that makes it not shallow?
Not a question of have/don't have exactly, it is an issue of focus. The focus of the games he listed are cheap story interaction (BioRomance, or action play, etc...) Not on detailed character development and its interaction within the game.
