I'm perfectly fine with a cheesy sci-fi world with cliche characters and a dumb plot. But when that gets sold to me as a grand epic with characters that I'll really care about and a story that will really pull me in, that's when I need to raise my hand and say "uh... guys?".

Coming at it from a marketing angle.

What are they supposed to do? "Hey guys...get ready to play the O.K.est game of the year. It's got a mediocre story and characters that will make you say 'meh' at best!" They are trying to sell copious amounts of a product, so they are obviously going to talk it up.

Or they could do what they did with Halo 2 and pretty much let the game speak for itself. If you remember, Johnson cut off Joe Staten when he was going on and on about the game and instead showed us the 'real time feed'.
