I can't tell if you're being sarcastic Winter John, so apologies if you are:
Graphics are not a determination of game value, "amount of media about a game" has never in life decided the value of a product release, and extent and depth of online modes has no baring on the price something should be in of itself. And the only people confused about the game are those who are trying intentionally to remain ignorant... and by the way, that point is in direct conflict with your idea that there is audience fatigue. How can there be fatigue if there is confusion about what it is?
I swear this games industry is simply bizarro world. It's not about "hey this game is really fantastic and provides hours of enjoyment and replay value", it's "how many people were on staff?" and "is it using the most modern shaders available?" Only in the games industry can this be a thing.
