From my experience, it's been like that for many years, now. You say you don't like a game that "everyone" seems to love and some gamers take it personal. Like you made fun of their ugly baby or something. I tell some people that I didn't like Final Fantasy 7 or FFX and they respond as if I mocked their god.
I like buying the AAA games that people say are great, but I don't spend the money on them. I buy them when their under $20. That way if I don't like it, I didn't spend a lot of money on it. I also don't make myself play games I'm not enjoying. Videogames are entertainment first for me. If I'm not having fun, I stop playing them. I have too many other games to play. Sometimes, I'll quit a game I'm not enjoying, go back to it later and have fun with it.
I take reviews with a grain of salt. I read or watch them for info on the game. I don't care too much if the reviewer thought the game was good or not. If it sounds like something I would enjoy, I give it a shot.
