I'm also a bit underwhelmed, but it has to do with my imagination of the game outpacing reality. Same thing happened with Skyrim, but I still play and enjoy it. Also, to anyone who thinks this game will flourish because "Bungie can't fail" I'd agree that Bungie is a capable and terrific studio, but no one is infallible. I'll reserve my full judgement until I actually get my hands on it.
