With all the hype surrounding the game, many thought Destiny would be huge both in sales and from critics. But looking at gamerankings.com, which takes numerous reviews and then averages them, Destiny seems to be not doing so hot. High sales are guaranteed, but if negative press persits I don't see the game having very good legs. Look at Watch Dogs vs Mario Kart 8. Watch Dogs may have outsold it at first, but mixed reviews made it dip into a poor sales point, while Mario Kart 8 hasn't sold under 50k any week it's been out, which has been 3 months on vgchartz now. And Destiny has even lower ratings than Watch Dogs, so I believe after it's first month (if not sooner) it will take a nosedive into the point of no return.

Don't believe me? here's the ratings (http://www.gamerankings.com/browse.html?site=&cat=0&year=2014&numrev=3&sort=0&letter=&search=Destiny)

Seems like people don't care anymore if games are good or not.
If it has hype it will be bought.
I hope that won't be the theme of this generation...

I don't see reviews hurting the game tbh.
There is still a lot of time to improve.

Yep. 75 is nowadays a critical failure. How did they even dare release this unfun piece of garbage?

For the amount of hype it got that's pretty disappointing for many people.

Destiny might be a disappointment for some, but not a critical failure! That's going waaaaaay too far.

I like it. But maybe that's because I'm starved for PS4 games. I give it a 4/5.

I'm just surprised it's scoring worse than watchdogs.
Probably not an immense critical failure, but a massive disappointment nonetheless.
Well, at least we know that all it takes is super good marketing and decent visuals to sell a game in the boatloads.

And this here is what's killing creativity in games during the PS3 and PS4 era. A game isn't successful unless it sells billions and beloved by all. 

I find destiny is just weird gameplay.
