Both, but it's Quake 2's fault. Strogg lore sucked even by 90s standards. The loss of Romero was felt. But at least 2's gameplay was fun.
Combine a shit concept, gimped slow gameplay (which was the style at the time), with idtech 4's dark lighting (which really only worked for Doom 3), and you had a recipe for utter mediocrity.
It's okay, like most first person shooters.
Actually now that I think about it it's very difficult to make a first person shooter that isn't firmly in the "okay" overall quality.
