Well I'm sure of that, but do you deny that there are many who judge the game based primarily on my mentioned criteria? (At the very least, people on YouTube)

I think the most common rational complaints are story (for just being unappealing in general), cutscenes (ratio of them compared to actual playtime), and gameplay (being simple and uninspired).

People make snap judgements, yes. But that goes both ways; a lot of positive opinions are based on similarly kneejerk reactions.

So people getting hyped because of trailers, screen captures, and dev interviews compared to people who look at the metascore and have heard the rumors that the game is only 3-5 hours long? :) I see the point you're making but we're comparing two sides that have not played the game yet.
