Agreed. I was disappointed by GTA V a year ago because of the huge amount of hype and yet that was still good

seems like sour grapes to me with all those similarities.  If Halo 5 comes and gets some great scores with all those parallels I'm calling BS on those "fans"

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.

Just because Destiny and Halo share similarities doesn't make them even. What Bungie nailed in Halo they kind of failed in Destiny but hey they're both shooters so shooter lovers should love this regardless right?

I think Destiny will be one hell of a game in the future since Bungie is behind it. But their first attempt with Destiny goes in competition with their first Halo 13y ago. This already is a better attempt than most todays shooters but still not up to the bests and one of the best was created by them. Imo 75 is exactly what I would've rated the game after the beta. I choosed to not buy on the hype and imo I was right.

I was promised a sunday with all the toppings thus i purchased it on that expectation, what i got was a banana with milk poured on it.

The ones to blame is bungie and activision for clearly deceiving everyone.

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.

Yes, blame the consumer. That's what all you nerds ever do.

....really?

If they create a story that unfolds for 10 years, shouldn't they put effort in each iterations so the story seems fresh for every iterations? IT,s like taking a 20min story and stretching it for 2h isntead of making a 2h story... they can do better.

I think they shouldn't have said that you could go everywhere in the game, or that every planets were as huge as the entire Halo Reach game, or that their engine will be good for 10 years or they have a budget of 500m... I'm talking on my FB about that game and so many people don't know that the 500m is for 10 years. Most of them thought it was an MMO etc etc. I understand that every companies "advertise" their products but please, don't try to mislead your customers.

They could just say the game will be great and be part of something new that'll unfold for 10 years etc etc.

I hope Bungie and Acti listens to these complants (not mine but those on the net because there's a lot) and the reviews. So the next games and DLC are exactly what they bragged about.
