I agree with everyone else here. Crossgen isn't the issue. A mediocre game is a mediocre game. That's all there is to it.

I think a lot of you are missing my point though. I'm saying it's a mediocre game because Bungie didn't focus on what innovations they could pull off for it on the new gen of hardware. Instead it was limited by what could be done last gen. If it had only been developed for this gen how do we know they wouldn't have tried to really see what they could do with the new hardware that they couldn't do before? Maybe they still wouldn't have put that effort in, but I think they would have been a lot more likely to. And I think games like Witcher 3, Arkham Knight, and Quatum Break that are only being developed for current gen systems are actually going to live up to the hype. Of course I could be wrong, but I think they're actually attempting to innovate on the new hardware and I don't think that was attempted with these big cross gen titles this year.

What innovations could they have taken advantage of by not focusing on last gen?

I don't know. I'm not a game developer. I can sure tell you I would have had no idea something like GTA 3 was possible though back when the 6th gen consoles first came out. And I wouldn't have known something like Bioshock or Oblivion were possible when 7th gen debuted.

So... You don't know, yet you say it's possible. That alone makes your argument fall into pieces.

If it's not possible for the new gen to deliver gaming experienes (not just graphics) that weren't possible before, then we're all just complete idiots to ever upgrade to them. We should stick to the 7th gen in that case and not go any further.
