Anyone who's disappointed after purchasing Destiny because of hype only has themselves to blame.

"It was over-hyped," is never an excuse for anything. It's basically the same as saying, "I was naive and got pwned by advertising." The fault rests on no one else but the person who fell for it.

I know I fell for the hype around LA Noire but I certainly blame no one but myself for that.

With Destiny, I think it's even less of an excuse, as we knew pretty much all the facts going in. The hype never even touched me because of that. I thought it looked good--I still think it looks good--but it's never been at the top of my most wanted list, either.

I'm also not buying the anti-hype, as a lot of that seems to come from people who had no real idea of what they were getting into or are mad that it's not the "game of the generation".

Stellar post! I also fell into the hype trap plenty of times over (Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 instantly comes to mind), but all responsibility rests on my shoulders.

NO DOUBT in my mind, however, who the biggest pioneers of the anti-Destiny movement are coming from. None.

The reviewers?
