That's what I've heard as well. I played the remakes without having played the originals and aside from some minor control things in the overworld and the E4 difficulty spike I had no problem with them. Most of the criticism I heard came from people who were expecting content from Platinum version to be included and basically boiled down to "WTF, this isn't a remake of Platinum". Most gameplay criticism outside of that comes from Diamond and Pearl themselves not being great, and the "not Platinum" argument applies there in that they didn't draw from Platinum to fix the problems Diamond and Pearl had. If, like me, you hadn't played gen 4 before playing these games, I doubt you'd likely have too many criticisms of the game. But it's the internet, so if it's not perfect it's the worst thing ever.
