Yes, I've had the ken avatar forever. 

Yes I'm criticizing the game and I don't understand why you have an issue with it:

Is it because you disagree with me on the features and gameplay that we know of ? I stand by all my observations and I don't see what changes they can do to fix that before launch (except maybe the AI which sucks in the frequent outdoors but seems good in the rare closed environments - i'll update that end of June depending on the eventual fix and how frequently you get in-doors)

I see your point regarding the eventual MMO to MMORPG confusion and don't worry. When I say it is very light for an MMO i mean it.

Is it because of the the Bungie factor ? If yes obviously Bungie has an amazing reputation and this is why actually I do not take it into account :

They are doing things completely new to them gameplay-wise.

 The production values are Halo-esque (UI/ Universe/ Music / graphical precision etc.) but the gameplay you have to admit is absolutely not similar to Halo. So don't be surprised if I don't give in blindly because it's Bungie. 

 

And yes I reserve the right to revise my prediction by end of June.  I might just revise the numbers and I don't see what novelty/improvement might be implemented in such a short delay to change the overall perspective.

Rest assured that I i'll still predict a flop and a free-to-play model by 2016.

I have an issue because I don't understand how you come to the conclusion from the evidence.

AI will be better. That's a given. It's an alpha.

The fact that they are doing completely new things gameplay-wise is fine. Look at insomniac. Sunset overdrive is basically ratchet and clank but with a brand new gameplay style. Or Naughty dog with the last of us. Completely different from uncharted gameplay wise, as was uncharted from anything they did prior.

Nobody says to give in blindly just because it is Bungie. But a new ip is a new ip. Look at watchdogs. There are so many new ip's done by huge studios and it's pretty rare for them to flop. Even bad games like ff13 still do really well. Look at red dead redemption, which was so far different from both the prequel, red dead revolver, as it was from grand theft auto, but still rockstar did it. In fact, you'd be hard pressed to show me a major developer who has made a new ip which has flopped. I honestly can't think of one.

It's already free to play....or did you mean micro-transaction model?

What gameplay do they need to fix?

Actually a lot of MMOs flop if not most. Even the very promising Star Wars, FFXIV and Warhammer Online flopped hard.

Edit :

I hope you're kidding when you say it's already a F2P or that it's an alpha. You have been on VGChartz for longer than me so you can't be that ne to games.

To the very vague question "What gameplay do they need to fix?" you might need to be more precise. And to be frank that question seems dishonest.
