A cruel bit of karma here :) Was bound to happen because the way PS3 users hyped it on all video game site forums and message boards.
Or as the Newton's Third Law of Motion states:
To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction
Did individuals think there would be no blowback for hyping this game as the second coming of Jesus Christ and 2nd coming for the PS3? Well, metacritic and those "0" scores are the equal and opposite reaction to it.
Don't get mad at me, just stating the stone cold, sober obvious.

Much like how 360 fans hyped Alan wake as the new console graphics king ,GOTY 2011,Uncharted graphic killer???
You make it sound like PS3 fans are the only ones deserving backlash for UBER HYPING stuff when 360 fans are just as bad if not more infamous in this department.

PS3 users are more ubiquitous and vocal than 36 0 users. It is a general trend I see from VGChartz, to Gamespot, to IGN, and on.
I don't recall the Alan Wake hype because I was too busy buying Red Dead Redemption.
Neither side is innocent, yet it appears to me that PS3 users are off their proverbial hinges this generation, while Nintendo users are the most polite and respectful. 360 users fall somewhere in between with a tad more devious nature because we know exactly what buttons to push to get emotional screeds.
Whereas toying around in the Nintendo forums will garner a beat-down, logical "lets look at the top 20 best selling games of this gen" reaction; toying around in the Sony forums produces enough emotion to make Clint Eastwood cry.

You obviously haven't been roaming around the Internet enough if you've come to that conclusion. 360 fanboys basically took over every game related site from 2006 to 2008 and they continue to be a nuisance even today. You've just overlooked those fanboys because you have a bias towards a certain console and you agree with many of the things those fanboys may say, the difference is that your both polite and smart enough to keep most of your negativity to yourself. I can level that same accusation to any Nintendo or Sony appreciator. But when someone claims that one group of idiots is worse than another, then it makes you look a little silly.
It's so weird how people forget the Oblivion, Bioshock and Mass Effect 2 reactions that came up when they went multi-platform, but they are quick to bring up the Final Fantasy reaction. It's weird how people bring up how Killzone 2, GT5, MGS4 and Little Big Planet are over hyped, but for some reason they forget the hype that came before Halo 3, Alan Wake, Gears of War 2, Too Human and Kinect.
Nintendo fans are also far from civil, they just don't have the forum userbase to make as big of an impact. They trash nearly every website when a low review is given, they have some weird hate for analyst and they would defend anything Nintendo did, even if the company clearly made a mistake.
Don't be the guy who always points fingers at specific groups, without taking the actions of every other group into consideration. 360 fan boys have been just as bad in the past and just because you turn a blind eye towards them, it doesn't mean that you can point the finger at someone else.
