That's fair. I mean, if someone said, "I played 20 hours of WoW, here is a review," it would meet with general amusement from anyone who's played for any significant length of time.

Even WoW reviews were high from the beginning though. It received acclaim from basically all gaming magazine and websites. I don't ever remember reading about WoW getting anything lower than a 9 out of 10, or lower than a 90%.

You can even check in Wikipedia in this link. Just go to reception section.

Doesn't sound good is right. This just goes to show you the power of hype. If this game is anything short of spectacular, it would be a huge disappointment. I'm sure the PS4 hype crowd would still eat it up however, since their only about 2 to 5 games really worth getting on the system.

That doesn't nullify my point.  With WoW, most of the game was played after you reached level 60.  A review that doesn't touch on that, good or bad, is like a restaurant review where the reviewer only eats the salad.  Bungie is saying that no one has yet played a significant part of Destiny.  Anyone who has played MMOs will understand what they mean.

As for WoW getting good reviews, at the time it was like 20 light years beyond any other MMO.
