Simple: GTA V, as the easiest example, had far more pre-release hype than Destiny. You were better off keeping your dynamic view where it was.

So GTAV didn't live up to the hype then?  Not sure you understand what the term "overhyped" means.

Your response to me:

"Name one other brand new IP that was as heavily hyped and advertised as Destiny was." That's what I responded to, which says nothing about overhype (in a continually shifting argument). Thus, I don't think I'm the one confused, here. You can't even decide if you're talking about new IPs or established franchises.

And your non-answer response was...

"Strategic shift of argument. You didn't say: "brand new IP", originally. Thus, my point remains. In fact, I remember more pre-release buzz surrounding Titanfall."

So your point remains that Destiny was not the most overhyped game of all time bar none (which was my original post that YOU responded to) because... you said no.  Period.  Without giving any example.  And then you pretended like a game like Titanfall had more pre-release hype and advertising than Destiny did, which, let's be honest, is a joke.

Bottom line is this.... both Destiny and GTAV had the same amount of pre-release hype and advertising... difference is GTAV is a known quantity which is where most of the hype was generated from in the first place, and the end product lived up to the hype based on reviews and general gamer reception.  On the other hand, Destiny is a brand new IP that was being hyped and advertised as heavily as a game like GTA but only based on the developer's previous pedigree and nothing else, and the end product did not live up to the hype based on reviews and general gamer reception.

Hence, my original point that Destiny is the most overhyped game of all time, bar none.  Thank you, come again.
