To be honest my best friend was the one who was hyped for the game and I only got it cuz it was with a sexy white ps4, plus co-op means a good first game for my next gen system. That being said, I think the game is more halo meets diablo then anything, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's as linear as diablo is, it's about as big as diablo is, and it captures the fun gameplay of it as well. I think what the game is lacking outside of what I mentioned, is truly just definition. I think it keeps teasing us with what the game may or may not be, so we don't really know what we want. We never cared about customizing our halo characters outside of PvP gear, but we love grinding in diablo for a pretty leg piece, but we kind of like stumbling upon stuff in skyrim, but we like earning our marks in dcuo(i don't play WoW, nor will I ever lol so dc is my main reference). The game does a bit of all and doesn't excel in it the way we want it to. I think a diablo esque progression, with maybe pockets of more open areas and dozens of new designs in enemies and gear will make the game honestly what people expected. I've never really been so into saying what I want in a game besides dcuo but ever since I saw that the people working on dc legit do try and being in what we're asking for(power based movement?! Gawdd) I realize that maybe other companies kinda care to.hopefully Bungie is on this side of the fence
