The internet gaming community is the minority (gamers who talk about gaming outside of just gaming) who reacts loudest to a smaller minority (review sites) based on their preference. Using games like WD, Destiny, and TF as examples, the internet would have you believe they are awful. The average gamer though would say they are great games.
Internet community goes online and looks up interviews. Average gamer looks at the ad on TV. Internet gamer has above-normal expectations because the PR guy hyped the game on hotgamingnewssite.whatever. Average gamer thinks "that looks good" when they see the ad on TV. Above-normal expectations not met, and for whatever reason, the game is a 0 user review on metacritic.
A large number of people, specifically in the user reviews area of a scoring site, only use two scores: 10 or 0. To the internet gaming community it seems like games are either "the next big thing" or "not worth playing at all".
