You wouldn't be saying that if some company bought the rights to a game franchise you loved and then shit all over it. This game could have stood on its own as a new IP, but buying the name of a loved RPG franchise and slapping its name on your product is going to draw comparisons to the originals.
Times change, and so does what's popular and what people like. Getting pissed about it isn't going to reverse that.
Enjoy the classics and let other folks enjoy what they like.
I know times change and what's popular changes. That's fine, create a new game for that crowd. I like all kinds of games so I might like it too, but don't take an existing game and turn it into something else just because that's what's popular now. I wonder how many people that came into Fallout at #3 had ever played the first two. I bet most of them probably couldn't get through it with the lack of attention span these days. You had to pay attention to the conversations and pick up on clues instead of relying on quest markers to take you exactly where you need to go next.
When I look at FO4 and try to ignore that this is supposed to be Fallout, it actually looks like a decent open world FPS game, well except for the ugly, ridiculously huge weapon models taking up 1/4 of the screen.

Welcome to getting older.
That has nothing to do with it. I have no objection to change, as long as it's for the better. Change, just to change something to say "hey look we changed" is where I have a problem. This would be more like taking your favorite TV show after establishing itself over a few seasons then having it changed it to a completely different genre. What if the 5th season of Breaking Bad was all of the sudden a family friendly sitcom? It might be a good show released under its own name, but it's no longer the same show.
Fallout was never about the combat. Honestly the combat in the originals sucked. Now they've improved the combat, which is great, but they've stripped down the role playing that it's now pretty much just an an open world FPS.
