You shouldn't let people scare you off so easily. You cannot relate negative bullet points about the game, to past games as if it is the same game with those things missing. It's a completely different game with things to replace everything that wasn't in the past games, and the game can still fill up 100 hours easily, according to most users on gamefaqs, assuming you take interest in the end game.

Think for yourself, don't let other influence you so easily. If you think the game will be good, stick by your convictions....
