Yellow alert (Destiny)

http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/destiny (edit: at the time of this writing, Destiny is at a 74/100 rating on Metacritic, which is in the yellow range)

I know I read something about Bungie getting a $2.5million bonus if the game averaged 90/100 on Metacritic. I guess they missed the mark. Getting the yellow mark is a big deal, unfortunately.

On the modern scale, 74/100 (the current score) is bad. For a AAA title, it's abysmal. What went wrong, and how much of this is due to unmet hype?

It's sort of amusing; before the first critic score came in, there were hundreds of gamer scores... and all four variants of the game were hovering around 4.0. Now we're up to 6.4 for user score.

Critic score aggregate is going down, while user score aggregate is going up. Not used to that.
