People give Bethesda a lot of shit when their games are broken. It's just that, at this point, people are used to fixing the games on their own before Bethesda gets around to it. Nobody is happy with Bethesda's lazy development practices, but we've just come to accept them since the included content and gameplay is usually good enough to give the technical hiccups, as many as they may be, a pass. When you buy a Bethesda game at launch, you know you're basically paying to be a beta tester. It's stupid, but it is what it is.
With Devil's Third though, you know the game won't be fixed. The developers aren't competent enough. They've made that more than clear. You can't fix the game on at least one platform either via the community because the game is only coming out on the Wii U. The game is ultimately beta level in appearance, alpha level in framerate stability and gameplay mechanics, and is pretty much amateur hour.
For the person that asked why this game is getting so much attention: Nintendo brought it to E3 2014 and spotlighted the thing. They made it clear that they brought the project back, and they expected it to be something great. E3 2014 showed something that definitely needed polish, but had a lot of potential. Now Nintendo is doing their best to release and bury it simultaneously as it's an exclusive they paid for, which is always a big deal when it's mature content on a Nintendo console, and it's clearly not a good game. If Nintendo had just left this one to Directs and such, people would still be disappointed, but not this disappointed. When you bring something to E3 though and stick it in the main presentation, the expectation is that the game won't be a total turd. It doesn't have to be amazing just because it was in the main presentation of one of the big three, but it will get publicly skewered if it's flatout bad.
