Worst thing to me isn't people that automatically hate it or automatically like it. It's the people that think they absolutely know what the game will be like already, even though it isn't even finished yet.
I myself like to think of myself as a realist, and in that frame of mind I judge games on what I see is most probable, and to me most games that come out are a complete disappointment, meaning this game is likely to be disappointing. Not certainly, just probably. And I think that way for literally every game, no matter how good it's predecessor is, ever since they released halo 2 and I compared it to halo:ce.
On a note about the engine, I am a pc gamer so am one of the lucky guys who can handle anything the companies throw at me, since I keep my pc upto date as i'm quite the enthusiast, being a software engineer student. Quite funny that you said they are 100x more complex actually, since every 18 months the complexity should double, so that is almost 6 2/3 times now, and 2^6.7 is 102. Assuming you picked a number randomly, it's quite hilarious how accurate that is.
