I don't have any SH games other than the first one, and don't have any particular interest in buying them. They're overpriced and I can't think of any reasons I'd actually want to play them. Maybe if I see the discs for a dollar sometime I'd consider it. Otherwise, probably not. I have quite a few survival horror games I haven't played much and mostly don't enjoy all that much...
Also, I think I like ED a lot more than you, clearly. I thought the story was great, I love the historical settings, the combat was fun, solid adventure game elements, etc. The characters were good enough, they didn't need more than they had.
And on that note, character-focused story? Ignoring the world in favor of just a story about a person? Sorry, I don't know if that's what I want from a story. I'd lean towards no. I love videogames, politics, and history, not biographies or human-interest stories. That kind of thing doesn't interest me nearly as much. Notice how I emphasized that one of the things I loved about ED was its impressive historical detail? Of course the gameplay was great too, but that was an important factor.
