It's reviews like this (Destiny)

I think Bungie should have communicated more about the game. I realize that they were trying to break some rules, and so didn't want to define what the game was for fear that it would be misinterpretted. However, the public was going to put Destiny in a box, and with BUngie not clearly defining what that box was, we get people trying to put it into existing boxes. Take this review for example:

"[...]I rate it lower than I normally would because I feel deceived by the developer and publisher. They sold this game as an MMO that you could explore the universe with and go into massive battles with your buddies against tough enemies, and it's nothing like that"

The scope of the playable area is huge compared to Halo games, and is about what I expected for round one. I don't think Bungie ever said it was an MMO or had an MMO sized playable area, but since they didn't define size and scope people came to their own conclusions, and were disappointed.
