So is Destiny a critical failure?

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.

the reason critics are scoring it low is because of the hype. They were hyped up too, if the game did not meet their preconvieved notion of what it was supposed to be they are shitting on it.

Let me put it this way those same critics scored Diablo UUE in the low 90s, I just got done being hooked on that game for a few weeks and there is no way it is a better game than Destiny. RoS was a pleasent suprise after what happened to D3 at launch so they are giving it good scores.

 

Honestly, I was thinking about this. With all these comparisons to other games I think best thing to call destiny is sortuv a SciFi FPS-Diablo.

Some critics are giving it higher scores than it deserves. Maybe its getting those scores because of hype?

Diablo III and Destiny is apples and oranges. Not even the same genre. People don't go into those games for the same reasons. Also, Diablo III is a lot more fun locally given it actually has local co-op.

I think Destiny is a solid 7/10. The game is still worth playing if shooting at waves of enemies is your thing.
