Bethesda just keeps getting away with releasing broken games and the let the fans do the fixing.

Doesn't really sound like much of a double standard, though:

"Bethesda’s always gotten some leeway with its quality control, mostly due to huge expansive its games are, and Fallout 4 is certainly of a high enough quality overall to where I find myself more forgiving than I otherwise would be. It’s certainly nothing like Assassin’s Creed Unity, where the bugs were constant and often devastating, and the fact the experience is so damn good that I’m willing the fight through even the most persistent annoyance says something about how great Fallout 4 is in spite of itself."   http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/11/fallout-4-review-s-p-e-c-i-a-l/

Read it again.

He goes as far as to say "the fact the experience is so damn good that I’m willing the fight through even the most persistent annoyance".
He is saying he is willing to fight even the most persistent annoyance because he find the game great.

Double standards right there, issues should not be discounted just because this is a game he liked.

Critics are pointing the issues but yet not reflecting them on their scores, I can understand that, really, but that's not what a critic should be doing.

"It’s certainly nothing like Assassin’s Creed Unity, where the bugs were constant and often devastating"

That, by definition, means it's not a double standard.  A double standard is where the same thing is judged different ways.  He clearly states that it's "certainly nothing like" Unity.
