The disappointment around Destiny release has absolutely, positively, nothing to do with being a cross gen release, but it has everything to do shallow marketing tactics that sell games on everything but being a great game and inability of buyers to stop falling for them. You guys let expectations sore past these developers are actually. Its a good tactic front loaded but comes with consequences.

Oh believe me I understand that the marketing and people buying into it had a lot to do with the disappointment. But the thing is, games that were marketed like this used to deliver far more than they have been this year. So why is it that developers aren't living up to their promises these days? I think the real reason they're not delivering is cause they are still allowing themselves to be hindered by last gen constraints. If it's not that, then I guess it's cause they're just money hungry and they really don't care about delivering great quality anymore so long as they can hype it to high heaven. I sure hope that's not the case though. I remember when most big games delievered on their hype, and it wasn't even that long ago.
