Is Aliens: Colonial Marines that bad?

So I started playing Aliens: Colonial Marines, and I honestly don't get why people hate it so much, I mean yes the plot doesn't really exist but it's there and is better than other entries into the Alien universe canon *Cough*Resurrection*Cough*, yes the AI is VERY stupid, but it is not the worst I have seen, and honestly it's more interesting than modern Call Of Duty games because there are unique designs that exist only in the game universe, now yes I realize that takes away from the realism but people don't play video games for the realism factor they play to escape reality, and that is just what this game does and it has decent graphics, if you hate the game why, I am legitimately curious as to why this game 

Look upon my works, you mighty, and despair

Along with the false advertising, poor AI, and uninteresting characters, Colonial Marines also made little sense in some areas: a human can drive back an attacking alien with their own hands? Hadley's Hope was nuked, yet so much of it remained, including a cocooned Hudson? 

It was a good concept to do an Aliens game to the tune of Call of Duty, and I'll grant it some appreciation for a few moments (another trip into the derelict in one scene, evading a giant alien while unarmed in another). Overall it felt like a cheap cash-grab. 

Alien: Isolation I love through and through.  I imagine a number of gamers were turned off by the inability to unleash a torrent of bullets at thousands of disposable aliens. Alien is my favorite of the films, and this game was a satisfying tribute. It's also the first Alien game I've played since the old Commodore 64 version which was based around the original film. It's also refreshing to play an alien game that doesn't have to involve space marines and Predators.

Oh my God apparently in an update when you're in the level "Derelict Reclaimed" Fifield's "PUP'S" make an appearance even though this is the Origin and not the Juggernaut not to mention that they don't appear when you're in the Origin before
