A pet peeve of mine (Destiny)

Bungie, please... stop teasing us by showing guardians doing awesome things in trailers if we aren’t going to be able to do it in-game. Zavala’s backstory piece was cool and all, but all I could think while watching it was “combat in Destiny is nothing like this”. Now we’ve got a guardian doing a spinning split kick and using her knife to climb an ice wall.

At best, it breaks any immersion do to the sheer contrast with actual gameplay. Worst case scenario, it kinda borders on false advertising.

I don't share the specifics, but I do share the sentiment somewhat. For me the issue isn't that it shows things you can't do. The issue is that the world feels more real and alive in the marketing than it does in the game.
