So the best part about the thread is people not wanting to admit Titanfall was more hyped? 

Titanfall was hyped up by Xbox fans and the press from E3 all the way to its launch.  A week didn't go by without hundreds of news stories about Titanfall.  I seem to remember Titanfall was so overhyped that Geoff Keileigh released "The Final Hours of Titanfall" with exclusive content and a touching story about the struggle of a developer to desperately find a publisher for their game that was already being funded.  An intricately woven "story" about how Microsoft didn't moneyhat Titanfall, they saved the game.  The quotes are emphasizing "story."  Think about it.

Even richer than downplaying Destiny's hype is this idea that if you played the beta you "should have known".

As if a short beta with a low level cap and a tiny amount of content could prepare you for any of the issues a majority of people with negative opinions share.

Flawed progression - nope, couldnt progress enough in the beta
Shit story - nope, couldnt progress enough in the beta
Terrible voice acting - Probably the one thing we knew from beta.
Pathetic amount of content - how.would we know from a beta?

Especially when journalists started downplaying the game weeks after it came out.

Are you implying we should have formed an opinion about Destiny based on the beta? C'mon, you're smarter than that. People thought the hype was in the final product.

Errrr that is the purpose of a Beta or Early acecess or Trial.

I loved and got Destiny due Beta.

So yes... I'm implying that... Destiny was showed how it is way before launch... you could play and make your choice... that didn't hapoen with a lot of games in the market that is a sad thing.

Bungie promised a super ambitious game with a lot of content. Nobody expected to get the full experience of Destiny from the beta, but it turns out we kinda did.

I also remember IGN's Titanfall review proclaiming that "the hype is real". And let's not forget that Xbox fans kept saying the X1 would outsell the PS4 from then on when Titanfall came out.

The beta showed all your claims.

- You can progresse enough in the Beta... the final game is the same just he level cap is not 8 but 20.
- It is the same history of the Beta... just got bigger.
- The same voice acting.
- It is the Beta + the three others planets already knewn lol

BTW mu opinion or your points.

- The progress works good for these that played the beta and knows how they wanted the game... Bugie give them what I and others wanted... I wanted a FPS mescled with MMO in the moldes of Warframe... I got a way better experience that that one.
- The history is meant to be told in chapter and never had a end since begining... if you read the Grimories you will know the story is rich like Star Wars / StarTek universes. .. Bungie fucked it not puting the Grimories ingame lol
- I like the voice action... it was meant to have no life indeed.
- There are so much content in the game since the PVP until the vast PVE... modes and game content for every type of game.

I'm in love with it since fisrt day I played the Beta and Bungie didn't disapointed me... the game was exactly what I expected after play the Beta with some issues:

- Social: lack of voice ingame communication (not just your fireteam), lack of ingame clan support/list, etc.
- Story: lack of grimories ingame.
- Loot System: RNGesus here was a bit exagerated in the Decrytpt (I like the loot system).

That is it... everything else is enjoyable.
