Destiny deserved it, they said LOTR type story and we got was...... shit all.  RaD were pretty damn honest about what they were making, cinematic this that.  

I didn't even know that, lol. I always thought people complained about the content.

I remember people then saying sales would drop like a rock and used copies everywhere, only to see the game loved by millions and still not only played, but new copies purchased.

Game was great and I don't even usually care for online gaming.

Well like I said in another thread, a game can be enjoyable and yet not worthy of a high score.  This is something people seem to understand perfectly well with indies but don't apply it to the AAAs.  Destiny had many flaws that were objective, demonstrable negatives and missed opportunities.  Just like, say, Mount&Blade.  As such, criticism was warranted. 

Absolutely! Thing I see however is that in the world of gaming, especially on forums, any negative brought up gets blown way out of proportion and people put the way too much stock into Metacritic. If they did the same with movies then they would probably never watch anything but documentaries.

 

If I let Metacritic dictate my purchases I would have also misses out on Nier last gen. Now that was a game that surprised me.
