Huh (Destiny)

I think it's the contrast with what we've seen this week. The Bungie employees have done fine in the interviews, but they are frequently responding to high-level and softball questions (including some very basic questions from the Internet that anyone who's been paying attention already knows the answers to). Green's interview from December had a limited focus, and I think that helped.

I think one reason for the lack of depth this week is the nature of the press demos. Journalists were obliged to write about what they experienced. There was less time to delve into philosophies, which is what many of us are interested in. We're more interested in whether the game is fun, but reading someone's take on that is less convincing. I think we all realize that the proof will be in the playing.
