Pic related's well was so thoroughly poisoned in the run up to and during its release period by various manufactured controversies that you can genuinely just make shit up that isn't in the game to criticise it for and no one will correct or argue against it because they can't tell the difference. Because of it, flaws which are shared by both 1 and 2 are spoken of as if they're exclusive to 3 and areas in which 3's either clearly a series best or a marked improvement upon 2 (like, respectively, the revamped chapter select system and quality of boss fights or Bayo's demon masquerade telegraphing when a wicked weave is about to come out, which resolves the issue of the voice clips still being inconsistent as in 2) are ignored altogether, presumably because people don't actually care about mechanics and 99% of why they claim to like any given thing comes down to presentation. Even when someone praises Origins it's often caveated by something along the lines of "I didn't expect this to be so good after 3" even though it's a fucking companion piece tangibly building upon the design philosophies established by 3 in a multitude of areas.
