The peoeple who should really be mad are the game devs themselves. I heard COD devs had a contract that gave them more money if their game scored higher or something along those lines. If they built some sort of grudge with these so called journalist they could end up losing millions with bad reviews that bring down the metascore.

And that together with devs money led to sugarcoated review and critics.

Yea I pretty much don't trust reviews anymore I read them just to get an idea about the game but the reviewers final score really means nothing to me. At the same time it's hard because if you describe a game right you can make it sound really really horrible when it's really not. Like Destiny they say the end game is nothing but grinding which is true but putting it like that makes it sound boring when really it's no different then going into an online FPS (COD,BF4,Gears) and just palying the PVP for a few hours. Except in this game you get new equipment and things like that which I guess is more similar to BF4.
