I know many people who enjoyed both games. I am more of a SP guy myself but especially Destiny had plenty of content and decent mechanics. So it did deserve it's score. I did not play battlefront but since it isn't the first game without a SP campaign cough overwatch caugh I will not hold that against them. I am more of an SP kind of guy, but to say these games deserved lesser scores than they did or are huge piles of garbage isn't my opinion.

My roommate is big Destiny player. He tells me that Bungie couldn't balance a game to save their lives. I know the expansions for Destiny got glowing review scores though. Battlefront reminds me a lot of Splatoon/Overwatch, except EA makes you pay for updates, while Nintnedo/Blizzard hand them out for free. So I agree with you that no SP doesn't always kill a game. If that were true then Overwatch wouldn't be where it's at like you said. 

While obviously both games had their flaws. Not disagreeing with you there nor reviewers. Buy the 70 something scores these games got where pretty much deserved. Battlefront biggest fault is missing content since the gameplay and graphics are pretty good. That's why it got a score in the seventies instead of the 80's. Destiny was a pretty decent game and I actually enjoyed it. It wasn't perfect but it was pretty cool.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

Battlefront did look amazing when it came out. I mean graphically.
