I'm not going to provide an opinion on whether expectations matter, but I for one have a very hard time not feeling disappointed if a new game in an existing and awesome series turns out 'just' good or even worse, mediocre! Some games just have a standard they're expected to meet and if they don't, people are going to be unhappy. Not all games exist on their own, they can also have context (Well, all games have, but some have more than others.)
Other than that, i think there's a fair point here about setting expectations on a suitable level.
