I expect The Old Republic to not only get better publicity, but factoring in Activision tampering, better reviews.
I will get flak for saying this and it kind of depresses me as a fan of the first two games, but I am genuinely expecting D3 to be a bust. The changes that Activision is seemingly forcing on Blizzard products (early releases, changes that are incredibly unpopular with the fan-base) is really taking away punch from what was an amazing game developer.

I'll respectively disagree. D3 will sell millions and will be anything but a bust. Right now the only thing that annoys me are the WoW style graphics, but I am sure I'll get used to it and Blizzard will make it worse. And I doubt Activision will have any say on the game. They may be partners, but Blizzard isn't going to let Activision eff up D3 or Starcraft 2.
