My experience was somewhat different; in the first level alone I encountered stuttering framerates, enemies getting stuck on the environment or in behaviour loops, corpses and items hovering in mid-air, ammo and weapon pickups that wouldn't register even when my character model was touching them, etc.

We are focusing on the technical problems but did you had fun? I did even with the minor errors I faced through the game, for example the bad model and texture of the car that you shared it can be seen on the beggining of the third level but it just to the right of the screen and you don't interact with it, I was too busy killing the bad guys and protecting my team to bother with the problem, it was there but I really did not cared.

I can overlook graphics if I am having enough fun. Hell, I enjoy plenty of games that are graphically worse than Devil's Third.

What bothered me more was how unresponsive aiming felt when using iron sights, how the framerate gave me a headache from flucuating so wildly, or just how shallow and joyless combat felt. (No real depth as far as combos, none of the fluidity from one move to the next that games like the Arkham Batman series, Ninja Gaiden, or Bayonetta have,  jarring cutaway executions, etc)

Not that I consider Metacritic any more than a collection of opinions, but 67 to 43 is a pretty significant gap.

And you don't need to cherry pick with Devil's Third, bugs and flaws are constantly thrown in your face, you only need to play for five minutes to witness a veritable parade of bugs, laughable AI, graphics from 2005, and a framerate that runs like a 3-legged dog with epilepsy.

Blatant lie in every word. Why do you hate DT with that passion?

My question would be the opposite to you guys, why do you so passionately defend such a severely flawed game?

I don't like people who complain about game when they barely finished first chapter of it.

I'm okay with you not liking me if that's your perogative.

It's a very, very flawed game so objectively it seems fair that it gets the scores it got. But I can see people having fun with it, so that's what matters in the end. My personal opinion is that the game is pretty bad, but I respect everyone's opinion in this. I don't quite agree with Metascore this gen (Fatal Frame, Yoshi's Woolly World, DK: Tropical Freeze being some examples of underrated games), so that's up to personal taste.

Hey Curl, your a great poster and I am not saying anything here to annoy you.

The problem with what Curl says is he has not really played the game. I believe he watched someone play it on youtube. So for him to hate it so much is kind of funny because he ...has not even played it. He asks why do we defend it so much, because we have actually played it. Sounds pretty straightforward to me.

It is his perogative to say he hates anything he wants, it just holds no weight when he has no experience with the actual game. At least moron reviewers have at at least played it, even though they have to rush through most games and do not get the actual experience of anything. That is something Curl cannot say. All he can really say that is of any fact is he hated what he saw on some random youtube video that was probably made by some European Nintendo hater that wanted it to suck anyways.

So let us not worry so much about what someone who has not even played the game says, let us listen to those who have actually played it. Obviously all the love that keeps coming out for this game proves that spurgeonryan is not the only one. Which means there must be at least some truth to my convictions.

The only flaws that I have seen with it is the actually funny glitch where the bodies you cut in half get stuck in the wall. Not even sure if it is intentional or not. I think maybe he was thinking that you would stab them in the wall and leave the sword there. But then did not want to make you find a new sword.

As for the levels, they are a bit compartmentalized, but still mostly open. Who says a game has to be open world each and every time? Besides that there is nothing wrong with it. So sit back, pull out a cigarette and have fun watching Ivan cut ninjas in half! Then come online and play some multiplayer in all of its awesome glory!

No offense taken.

I have played the game, just not the whole thing. To do that I would've had to either borrow it or buy it, and I didn't want to do either since I didn't enjoy the time I did spend on it. 

I did watch the rest of the game on youtube out of curiosity, but since I had already experienced the way the game controlled and felt, I could glean everything else I wanted to know from watching. Issues like AI and bugs can be observed just by watching, for example.

Honestly, I wouldn't even say I "hate" Devil's Third. Dislike is more how I feel. If you want to hear hate, ask me about Metroid Other M, The Order 1886, or anything by Quantic Dreams some time. ;)

Because it is just that a flawed game, not the worst game ever, not the anti-christ or something along those lines, and because even all its problems I had fun with it...

Para los que entiendan español les comparto mi reseña del juego...

I totally recommend Devil's Third to any Wii U user who just wants to have fun. I've read most of the complains people have in this site with the game and I can't understand them. Yes, it's their opinion but I didn't notice those flaws that you people seem to have encounter and I have finished the game and replay the missions in order to get the medals. The only flaws or bugs I've encountered are in the online mode (more specifically in the Siege matches) but it's not something that bothers me, even when playing the drills I don't have as much problems as I always have in Splatoon. Playing the game with the Wii U Pro controller is neat, is really enjoyable. Voice acting is cool and the missions are so different that in some of them I feel I'm playing Resident Evil 6 and other times Tomb Raider (the older ones) and others Duke Nukem or a FPS game. This game has variety in both solo and multiplayer modes. I'm glad there's a new print of the game in the stores right now. We need more players in the drills!

I certainly wouldn't say it's the worst game ever, but I would say it is one of the worst I personally have played in the last few years.

People can have fun with bad games. I've had fun with bad games. The question is if you realise that that it's something most people probably wouldn't enjoy, even if you do. People's perception of these things get easily clouded based on their subjective opinions.

I know someone who loved Superman 64, and was surprised to hear all the backlash the game got in media.

I do realize that is not a game every one will enjoy, I can clearly see the flaws of the game, but people should not dismiss it inmediatly. It has good things going on for it too, but most gamers are just repeating what some critics that hated the game (even the concept and the exclusivity) said about it. There is a reason why the rating for the "experts" is at 4.3 on average and the one of the gamers is sitting at 6.4, this is not a case like Sonic Boom where both critics and gamers hated the game.
