This isn't just a problem with Titanfall. This has been a problem with a great many high profile titles. Anyone remember Mass Effect 3 when people were going apeshit over the ending? An awesome game with a questionable ending got a flood of negative user reviews. It was disgusting how people behaved.
In addition to people just behaving like idiots because they want to hate Titanfall there are also people who are reacting quite negatively to other people who simply don't like the game for their own reasons that don't involve blind hate. Now that the word is out and Titanfall isn't genre redefining or "Game of the Generation", basically falling well short of the obscene hype created for it, there are people who don't want to deal with reality now. For the sake of their own denial no one is allowed to be critical of the game. There are people who are certainly just there to hate but there are people who want to say they don't like it and sadly they can't get a word in edge wise because both the haters and the deniers ruin it for them.
Personally I think it's a great game and I think it's sad that the media created an unrealistic image of the game that was based on a limited amount of hands-on time with an unfinished product. It's selling very well right now and has been but I have a feeling that it will be, unfortunately, remembered more as an example of how a game can fail to live up to hype than as a great entry into the genre. That's not Respawn's fault. I blame irresponsible "journalists".
