To put it mildly, all of this is highly debatable, and frankly, complete nonsense. Of course, IMHO.
What could be controversial here? I expressed what I don't like about the third game, and I have every right to do so.
I understand that you are probably a die-hard fan of the third game, and all the new features only worsen your favorite game for you. Don't be conservative, or you'll remain at the same level in every sense of the word.
