"though imo, I think it's just a case of hating something because it wasn't what you expected, and because other people seemed to enjoy it more than you."
Actually, I haven't played the game. It's just that the reviews seemed to neglect to mention the objective flaws in the game. Even if they wouldn't have docked points, the reviews should have mentioned them. That says willful ignorance to me.
The whole thing had the air of just inflating the importance of the game rather than the game itself.
That is what I mean. Whether the game is any good is irrelevant. It seemed to be praised for what they thought it would do for gaming rather than its own merits.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
