Notice there's nothing in that post about the quality of the story, which is where they differ greatly. Reviews already state that the gameplay is fantastic but the campaign is boring and unfulfilling.

If Halo 5 gets great scores for being Halo its because the reviewers felt it deserved that score for being a solid game, singleplayer and multiplayer. How would it fall on the "fans" whether or not a game scores well? Destiny didn't live up to the hype, simple as that.

or because it's called Halo and will get recognition because it fits your purposes.  Now Destiny doesn't have a complete story it's true.  That's mainly because they have TEN years to finish the story so they're not going to spell it all out upfront.  If it plays mostly the same and has a few new interesting mechanics that work it should basically the same scores.  People just expected something completely different than what Bungie was selling for some reason.  Bungie never said it would be anything other than an open world shooter with an evolving world over 10 years.  Sure they used hyperbole in the ads but every company does that it's called advertising.

....really?
