I don't really think that is true at all. I have played every halo game and I am ridiculously hyped for Destiny. Same with pretty much everybody I know, which includes mostly xbox gamers... I am probably more excited for this game than I was for Halo 3 last gen. I was pretty meh before the Alpha and Beta, but after I actually got some hands on time with the game, my hype level went through the roof. I loved it! |
Well, you act like I said it is was the only reason the game was hyped...?
It is one of the reason and yes it obviously target people who never played Halo.
I know multiple friends who never played Halo (Playstation fans mainly) and they actually find Destiny awesome and very innovative. But then one of the thing they enjoy is the shield/radar and kind of gun available in Destiny which is actually something we got in Halo from the begining.
So yes, I believe that a lot of Playstation only fans have no idea what is Halo and how similar it is to Destiny (gameplay wise) and then because they never played something like that; they like it. Now is it 20%, 10%, 90% of the hyped players/reasons, I do not know but it is defintely part of them.
And for those (not your Gergoy) who get frustrated because I'm mentionning Halo while talking about their precious Destiny. Deal with it, the gameplay IS very similar to Halo and it is the main reason why I'm personnaly very hyped (and took a week off 
) for this game.
