The only basis for reviews in this manner work on storefronts. For example, Steam's user reviews system works well because everyone is on a level playing field and know exactly what is going on.
At the same time, I'd argue that people shouldn't even be holding reviews (professional or not) as fact or a factor as to whether you should purchase a product.
Metacritic is perfect example of Fanboy/girlism. If it's not that, then it's the way reviewers value themselves on such a website. But lastly, it comes down to us who place value on what people say. Everyone plays a part in what's wrong with scores.
From the trailers and gameplay I've seen of Destiny, I really don't think it looks that good or even interesting. But I'll still end up giving it a try regardless of what score it gets by anyone.
