I think its amazing that magic items are given to 1st level characters. A much needed improvement I think. But this is my over-the-top nature speaking. It streamlines the game again, making a smooth linear progression ( which I often do not like) but it works for this game.
The game is turning more into a video game like system, but for gamers out there wanting a hack n slash game with plenty of combat ( which I do like) this is perfect.

I agree. However, "video game-like," while true, is also misleading. The rules are more stream-lined. For people like me, who love the thrill of tactical combat, this makes battle both faster (so we can run more of them!) and more interesting. For people like my roommate, who loves his deep RP, this makes the rules less intrusive in the game, less disruptive to what he's trying to do. I think it's this second aspect that people overlook.

As for magic items, specifically... it makes things simpler to be able to judge, at a glance, how powerful an item is and when it should be given to the PCs. It makes constructing loot much faster and less of a pain in the head.
