I think the points you listed are very understandable from an engineering point of view. On the other hand, there were also games that just looked like downright lying in E3. Not sure if thats acceptable specially when we are talking about experts in the industry are involved.

Sometimes, they feel just deliberate.

I wholeheartedly agree, there are examples of egregious behaviour.

But I'm talking specifically about things like Watch_Dogs and The Division, where it was never the intent to mislead by anyone involved, even the marketing department (which can be overzealous) thought they were playing it relatively safe, only for the situation to get dicey quickly.
