I think the backstory for Sylar changed him from monstrous to serial killer. To me, he'd always seemed to be the monstrous, irrational-killer bad guy, while other people (Linderman, possibly?) seemed to be the more cerebral bad guys.
I think it's just the old monster-movie thing: the less you see the monster, the scarier he is. When you see him--and see that he can be understood--he is less scary. Don't get me wrong--it was a great backstory. I just was expecting him to be... more, I guess. More powerful, more all-knowing, not just a bad version of the other supers.
