You guys care too much.
This happens with every game series, IMO. Look at Call of Duty. Plenty of people I know have been bashing it for changing things up too much from the first Modern Warfare, yet plenty of people love the change (like me). A ton of people hate the latest pseudo-Halo title, Reach (like me), because it deviated too far from the first 3. Yet when it comes to Final Fantasy, a series I haven't played before, I absolutely loved XIII, while plenty of long term fans hated it.
Same -blam!- with music. Nickelback's first album was actually very decent, and then they went completely mainstream and became the poster child for douche bag rock. Breaking Benjamin's first 2 CDs were amazing. When Ben changed up his style for the latest few CDs, the old fans were pissed, and the new fans loved it.
I might be just rambling now, just woke up. But I think you get my point. This sort of thing happens everywhere, from video games, to music, to books, even to movies and TV shows. It's just the nature of things.
