Your phrase actively boycotting makes it sound weirder than it is, people saying they aren't into an idea and won't buy something if blank etc is pretty common and normal.
As for gameplay versus story, I don't need another dose of GoW gameplay enough that I'd wanna sit through a story that I'm not into.
