<Let me preface this by saying that some of this just came to me. - Both released incomplete - Both "don't feel like a ___ game" (even though that belongs more to H5) - Both were heavily criticized for story (add in multiplayer for D2) - Both added clambering - Both were heavily criticized in nearly every damn way possible - Both companies are struggling to get shit in order (less apparent with Bungie) - Both have troubles communicating with their fanbase (more apparent with Bungie) - Both have narrative directors that double as comic book writers. Neither of which have the most popular iterations of characters/franchises. (Difference being that Brian Reed was never heard from again a year after Halo 5 came out but D2 hasn't even been out for a year yet so you never know) There ya go. Any more to add to the list?>
