Well reading the beta impressions, the game seems great, but not a 95+ metascore kind of game we rarely see.

Since I'm still in the 7th gen, waiting for Halo 5 to buy a X1, I may just buy Destiny in the meantime, but certainly not at full price.

Oh I agree wholeheartedly that it isn't just Nintendo fans hating. I said the "majority" and to be honest I think you are one of the rare ones that is seeing things clearly. I totally agree with you on most of your feedback... but its not so cut and dry as you make it out to be. Not EVERYONE who owns a Wii U owns another console. Maybe in time that will be more and more true, but as of right now that is definitely not the case. Also I only came to that conclusion after  reading this very thread. I love the Wii U and can't wait to add it to my collection. But to generalize and say that it is NOT like I stated above is more of a generalzation to be honest. Not many as of right now own all or more than one next gen console. THat will come in time I agree, esecially with the Wii U much like the Wii most had a second console for thrid Party.. Like i said it's all subjective. 

Good points and yeah, I think, like the Wii, the Wii U will become a very solid secondary console this generation, probably an even better secondary console than the Wii was. And thanks for the positive response, by the way. I don't see that very often around here!

Not many people complain too much about CoD Killstreaks. Those are pretty much the same thing as being "Supercharged" in Destiny. And I disagree with the fastest fire rate wins. I always used semi-auto rifles and faired quite well in PVP. Sure I had my bad rounds but I had some great rounds too. Lowest KDR was about 0.40 (lol) and highest was a 9.0 (it clicked that round). Vehicles are tough to take down... I agree there, but you can aim for the driver and take him out as easily as you could if he wasn't on the vehicle. Maybe they will give more heavy ammo when the full game releases or something else to help with this.

I actually enjoyed the PVP. You seem to not be too big of a fan of it, but maybe it was just this gamemode.

Watch dogs was overhyped too ...

Really, all the anti-hype that's occurring is due to the immense hype itself.  Games are made out to be so much bigger and better than they actually are these days that its jaded a lot of fans.  

Having seen a lot of Destiny advertisement, I have yet to see it be sold as something it's not.  It doesn't claim to change gaming or to break the mold.  It's Mass Effect with tons and tons and tons of cash pumped into it's marketing.  So in reality, no one isn't - or at least they shouldn't be - hating on Destiny, they're hating on the people who believe the hype and make Destiny out to be "the next big thing".  It's not... Destiny is for gaming now what Halo was 10 years ago - a solid gaming experience.  

I don't fault Activision for hyping the shit out of this because of it's mind boggling budget.  At least they aren't lying about the game, it's fan expectation vs. fan cynicism.

what game is not overhyped today?

I think so. Or maybe?

Watchdogs were all lies. -.-
