Yep, you're in some bizarro universe where people can actually enjoy games that aren't 80+ average. We also sleep during the day and eat our toast butter-side down.
Seriously though, a lot of people were expecting this to be terrible. IGN gave it a good score (and you can tell it's a good score because it says "good" under the score) so now people are surprised that it might actually be fun. Nobody's claiming it's some AAA game, merely better than they thought.
This actually shows why hype sucks so much. A 7.5 should be a fine game, but if it's hyped to hell people will bash it for not doing better. This game had something more like anti-hype, and it worked in its favor when it turned out not to be so bad.
