I'm not saying Destiny was the best game of the 8th gen, all I'm saying is it was the most noteworthy with its release timing and big names backing it: Activision and Bungie, the latter of which had never developed a prominent sci-fi shooter for the PS platform.
GotG is not always a form of praise. For me, Destiny is worthy of the GotG label for how disappointing it was despite its great promise.
ET is potential candidate of being a Game of its Respective Generation because of its impact on the industry at its time. Notorious lack of quality that hurts an industry can make you a GotG.

However, both games were developed primarily for 8th gen consoles. So, I think they count as 8th gen GotG contenders. Edit: umm, scratch that. Destiny obviously doesn't count as GotG contender for obvious reasons. In any case, I think if you're going by the definition of "8th gen was disappointing, so GotG has to be disappointing", there's better choices than Destiny - namely, No Man's Sky. It's still talked about and villainized to this day, and it was the absolute peak of hype hyperbole - plus, it was truly hated by everyone at launch, unlike Destiny which still had a lukewarm critical reception. In any case, I don't think Destiny does well in the "noteworthy" category, because to me at least it seems like people just forgot about it. |
No Man's Sky was a candidate for GotG but I'm going to give it to Destiny because of big Activision $$$ and Bungie fame boost as well as an early release in the gen.
