You can't really get upset about a game trying to break the mold a little (however much of a hairline fracture one might consider an MMORPG to an Action RPG). Sometimes something different can really bring new life into a series, even if this is a fairly obvious plan to squeeze every cent out of the series name as possible. Simply asking for the same shit but better every time makes you into a sheepy cardboard box accountant with even less imagination than it took to make that metaphor.

The current combat system present in the games really is nothing more than flail whatever piece of metal you happen to be carrying at the enemy until one of you stops moving, with maybe some blocking sprinkled here and there if you're some kind of pussy that doesn't carry enough weapons on their person to put Rambo to shame. I can't imagine that the MMO "click guy to kill" mechanics will feel horrible different. At most the biggest difference might be magic will require less of a need to aim. As for story, they put it in a very ambiguous point in the history. So they can pretty much fuck around as much as they want since Tiber is just going roll out and ride their collective asses like a donkey equestrian anyway.

I'm not really trying to defend the game here, but at least let it shove one or two crayons up its nose before you start calling it retarded.
