Those features affected my enjoyment with other games and I'm pretty sure I know what made my experience with the Souls games so great. Some of these changes go directly against some of those things. I don't need anyone else to tell me what affects me and what doesn't. So there you go.Eh, it would be the same. Internet likes to complain a lot.
People really need to get their hands on the game and realize how most of the "negative" changes like voice chat and respec will not affect them in the slightest. Some are probably even going to like them on their subsequent playthroughs.
Also, in this forum we talk about videogames, sometimes in critical fashion. There's nothing ridiculous about it. Especially in light of some overarching developments within the medium which many players don't particularly like and which are the reasons why the Souls games became popular in the first place.
