Nobody likes every genre (well, okay, I pretty much do), so you can't please everybody all the time. Frankly, though, I don't see why anyone would just bitch about FPS's in general. It's the best way to play a lot of games. Like modern Metroid games for instance. Clearly, broken third-person/psudeo-side scrolling doesn't work for that one, and 2-D only worked on pre-DS hardware. For a franchise so focused on detail-oriented exploration, first-person is the way to go so players can look around the environments without having to deal with cumbersome camera-switching.
First-person is also great for shooter games, too... (of course).
