I think it will be more like the 'Drive Club' of Wii U. Panned at launch for its performance issues, but if it is ever patched people will sing it praises on deaf ears.

Looks like it. Hopefully we won't get as many threads for it post launch like The Order did.

We definitely don't need any conspiracy threads . . .

Can we just leave it at a bad/mediocre game? I wish Knack had this kind of defence ;)

It was already posted.

And people saying this is The Order of the WiiU, just not, The Order was heavily overhyped for 2 years and until the reviews many  people though it would be a great game, even the sceptical people was impressed by how weak the game was and how low its metascore was. This game, however, had very little hype and people already thinks is pretty bad, there is not a half milion of pre-orders for it, not even a 5% of that probably.

Yeah...this game just looks awful...not even graphically, just...as a game.

I still don't understand the hate. This is the first title of a modest developer. Is all the hate coming from the fact that Nintendo is publishing it? I still see a really fun game.
Its sad to see this general reaction from people in the internet especially when the game wont be out for another month and these impressions arent taken from the final build. Anything Nintendo seems to be an excuse for hate. Very disappointing to see things getting this low.

These performance issues have been here since E3 2014. The game looks worse than it did in it's reveal in E3 2014, where it was criticized for looking like garbage. If they haven't fixed it bynow, they're never getting fixed.

That's a year before its release and was the first published preview for the game. A game getting a lot of mixed attention doesn't mean it's getting overhyped . . . it means it's getting a lot of attention

So this game will actually make it into the so bad it's so good category ?

Alright then count me interested if this game can make laugh like a parody would ...

I am starting to think that instead of a range of opinions people live in a binary world, the game is "best thing ever" or "pure garbage", looks like it cannot be something in between because it does not compute in their minds. I see it as a flawed but fun game, trying to offer something different in a console that lacks variety in some genres and themes. I am planing to buy it and get 2 or 3 friends on board to get on with the multiplayer.
