No Man's Sky: 10 More Games That Should Be Investigated For False Advertising

7. Destiny

The Lie: That Destiny would be some all-singing, all-dancing MMO-cum-Halo-style shooter. It'd be loaded with endless weapon variations you'd want to "tell stories" in relation to how you acquired, be packed with a huge amount of planets, and tell a high-energy story with memorable characters.

The Reality: It was revealed in a lengthy deep-dive into Destiny's production that the whole game was gutted from top to bottom by Bungie's execs only a year before release. Story was rewritten, what was left behind was mostly removed and sold back later as DLC, and the launch-day version contained only four 'planets' that were less sprawling expanses and more standard levels.

Bungie would go on to charge players for new dance emotes and armour shaders, finally releasing enough content to be classified as a 'full game' with DLC 'Rise of Iron' in September 2016 - two whole years after the initial release. To this day, there were cutscenes shown that didn't make it in, and unless you're prepared to scour fan forums to connect the dots on the paltry amount of content that is present, Destiny makes about as much narrative sense as Hideo Kojima after a few bottles of sake.
