      Editing … I am not mad, well not because I like the game and others claim they don't. It hurts the editor in me, that even today people pop out scores for marketing values instead of analyzing what they are writing about. As often it is hard to see Destiny without the expectations and the big hype. But if you can leave all that aside you will see a game worth its money. I looked at Destiny without any pink sunglasses and still am able to show what is good and not that good. Here is my videoreview (german): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxPrMaOC5-o

      Editing … IF reviews nowadays would always use the complete scale from 1-10 it wasn't that bad. But we all know, that this is not how it works. If a game has less than 80% everybody thinks its under the average score. There are two kinds of reviews about destiny: round 90% and round 60% and I am pretty sure, that those low scores are just poor editing, either for marketing/attention- or laziness-reasons.

      Editing … Uhm and that might be one of the reasons, I don't use scores in my reviews. Numbers are way to static, to be able to display how good a thing is if there is such an diversity throughout the field of games and games-history.

      Editing … I feel score are important in a review, words can be misunderstood and people often only see the parts they want to see, skipping the negative/positive. A score sums up all your words into an overall evaluation that cannot be misunderstood.

      Editing … It looks a lot like Halo when it comes to style and gameplay but it sounds like the campaign and versus multiplayer both let it down badly. I loved their Halo games so I'd like to give it a go to check if that's true for myself but I'm in no rush.
