I liked Dark Messiah, but I never expected it to be a good RPG game, Its a good action game with RPG elements.
A game like D2:ED won't play aswell in 1st person, I agree, it is a completely different game from most if not all those 1st person RPG games. So I never expected it to be 1st person.
In the end its all about taste, you say those games 'sux', tho I'm sure many gamers will say otherwise. Most of those were popular games because they were good, wether you like them or not. Obviously enough others did.
