To me Destiny also looks like a piece of 7th gen tech, but you don't see me constantly spouting that around lol.

Lol, ok. I don't know how many dipters you might have. I just don't know you, so when you say "to me" you can say whatever you want afterwards.

What can I say? Go see the numbers (of pixels, polygons, textures, etc.) and the technologies employed on Destiny (game engine, effects, etc.).

I still only see an average FPS that is only hyped because of its massive marketing budget. That's a fact (that most of the budget went to marketing). How much of the budget went in to the actual game development? Please tell me. You'd think that was the most important thing about a game, but not according to Bungie. ;) 

I'm not impressed by the amount of pixels, polygons or textures. I see a game that could be run on a 7th gen console with some downgrades. The Last of Us looks just as good to me. Now Uncharted 4, that's a game that's a big step up. And I have no doubt it will review better. Although I wouldn't be surprised if some of Destiny's budget was used to convince some professional reviewers. With such a high budget they obviously want to manipulate the media coverage of this game. 

You're talking about horsepower, I'm talking about speed. You're talking about means, I'm talking about ends. You keep on talking about budget (= money = resources = means), I keep on talking about graphics (= results = ends).

You are not impressed by the technology? That's fine by me. You don't care about it? You'd rather talk about art, fun and budgets? That's ok. But then don't raise your voice when I say Wii U is a piece of 7th gen tech. And when you challenge that, don't ignore the arguments I present to support my view. Either you're in or you're out of the graphics debate. You cannot have a foot in and the other out to sway as it is convenient to you.
