If you were referring to that secret, I think the OP wasn't actually saying what you think they're saying? They didn't seem to me to be implying that the story makes the game, and they said they did and WOULD recommend the game, and that it was excellent, had great gameplay, etc. There's really nothing wrong with saying the game is great but the ending of the storyline ruined the storyline for you. The story may not make the game, but it'd still annoy me to have an excellent game with a shitty story, even if I loved the game itself for its gameplay. =X

For the record, I disagree with the OP and loved the story, and didn't see the ending as meaning that at all. But. XD I love the gameplay too, and if the gameplay had been annoying to me, I wouldn't have finished it. Then again, if the story didn't appeal to me, I wouldn't have bought it, because I'm not a huge gamer. The two go hand in hand for me, most of the time.
