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


There are definitely lower than people anticiapted. Everyone was predicting high 80s or low 90. The mid 70s very bad given the hype.

Anyhow, I'm curious to see the meta score when more reviewes have been added. The final score could go up.

Depends. For those expecting Halo, yes. For those expecting COD, no. I haven't played it yet, I'm waiting for Sony to buy me 1. Not Sony Company, Sony Girl.

im not happy with it in all honesty

Tbh im just disapointed that exploration isn't rewarded. I was hoping wondering off and finding new area's would result in story expansion, rare item drops or even just bonus xp. But most of the time its just a dead end..i hope bungie are working on that but its a lot of work to get through if they havn't even considered the idea yet..

You know if this game wasn't hyped out of the rear end I would have said its doing pretty well. 75 isn't a bad score, however a game with a budget of half a billion dollars it failed to deliver.

I'm off to investigate those Destiny players. I'm expecting they're gonna say false marketing or ads "MMO-RPG"

Who cares about critical, it is the best Financial launch ever...Activision did it again

It might hurt the game's legs and could possibly mean lower sales for future games.

I wonder if it is being scored against expectations. It was so hyped, I think everyone was expecting something new and groundbreaking. IT is a fun game, but nothing that we haven't seen before. Battlefield, Titanfall and COD: Ghosts scored higher than Destiny. Can you say those games are better?
