What makes you think "hardcore" gamers buy or don't buy games because of reviews? That implies they are sheep, not people who like games.
If this game doesn't sell well, it will be because gamers don't like it, not reviews.
As for the question, I'm wondering if the reviews are hating on it more because it wasn't what they thought it should be, not what it actually is. There was a lot of negative feeling over the change from the initial build, and that seems to have caused a lot of people to not give this game a chance, regardless of whether it is any good or not.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
