They're supposed to review games based on genre and what the devs have said they tried to achieve. Titanfall is a strict multiplayer game with a silly campaign mode tied to multiplayer so as long as it executes that well it should recieve a high score (not saying that it deserved a 9 but they have to review it for what it is) . It's the same reason side-scrolling adventures for xbl arcade can get really high scores despite not being technical wonders. Now, destiny on the other hand is said to be a shooter with a MMO/RPG element. I think it would have recieved a much higher score if they had simply called it a shooter because let's be honest, there's not much RPG or MMO about it other than the fact that you're forced to play online and occassionally will bump into strangers. I think having to play online is more of a con than a pro, seeing how the social interactions are so limited. Then there's the Bungie legacy. People expect great things PvP-wise from Bungie. They delivered a multiplayer/PvP mode that resembles the lopsided garbage most (all?) MMO's offer. Seemingly random matchmaking for reduced queue times, a certain gear/level disparity (through gear/weapon abilties, not output) and no VoiP support. PvP in destiny is no different or better than any other generic shooter. Actually, the lack of chat alone probably makes it worse.

Genre had nothing to do with what I said. Titanfall, for what it was, should have gotten nowhere near a 9. It had less content than the multiplayer component of most games. It didn't even have enough content to be a free to play game. The crucible is better than titanfall. And bungie has done nothing but call it a shooter. They coined the term "shared world shooter" for the game. It was uninformed people unfairly putting the label mmo on the game. And who cares what peoples expectations for pvp are? Bungie put forward that this game was going to be mainly pve. It was over a year after we first saw the game before we got out first look at the crucible. If you say people should review the game based on what the developer said they wanted of the game than no one can complain about the crucible not being halo level pvp. This game was made with pve in mind
