Unfortunately, that kind of thing has to happen as a dialogue. One person being negative doesn't necessarily even know why he doesn't like the game, but if he comes to a discussion forum and compares his experiences with other players who are similarly disappointed in the game, maybe they can all figure it out together.

While this is part of dialogue, I think that misses a lot of it. Dialogue typically refers to discussion among disagreeing parties, because it is used to resolve a problem, not just establish it. Sure, multiple players could determine how to put their negativity toward the game into words together, but by listening to and considering the viewpoints of those who disagree with them, perhaps they could learn a new perspective and come to a greater appreciation of the game. Of course, the reverse could be true as well. Those criticisms could drive generally positive players to hold a higher standard up to the game and seek better experiences in the future. Dialogue helps drive improvement, but neither side can be isolated. There is no single standard of what makes a perfect game.
