Developers play it safe and decide not to change the standard formula, and people bitch because it's not different enough and does nothing new.
Here's the moral of the story: gamers fuckin bitch about everything.
It sure is easy to complain about things when you don't have the responsibility of redefining multi-million dollar franchises. I guess we can just be thankful that we are not game developers and don't have to put up with our own bullshit.

First off, you're right. In this internet laden world, you'll never be able to please everybody. There will always be someone on the internet bitching.
However, when I have a problem is when developers take parts that are working and replacing them with bad ideas that don't work out. But that's the risks you take when you try to change things up? I prefer for them to mix things up and take changes. However, I'd love it if they were given the room to fail, which they aren't, because they are multi-million dollar franchises.
When all is said and done, if you want something really innovative, you'll most likely have to go to a new IP then one that has been around since the days of NES.
