I agree with a lot of his specific complaints about Shenmue 3's combat, and I agree with some of the complaints about its progression, but I think he takes a lot of these things to strange conclusions. Like, yes, the reverse body check probably should have had a different animation, and yes, 5000 yuan is way too much to ask for that scroll (especially since the yuan exploits no longer exist in that area), but that was a relatively small part of half of the game. The entire video is spent providing equal amounts of time to every complaint and completely glossing over the good parts, so for the uninitiated viewer without a sense for how long the game actually is and what options you have available this is terribly misleading. He spends as much time describing the misdirection surrounding the wine as every good part of Niaowu, which is just... a lot. He compresses all of the final assault into "you go through some guys."
It's a well-considered critique and for someone who has played the game it has meaningful things to say, but for most of his 840K+ subscribers that never touched the game it'll lead them to believe a series of things that I could pretty comfortably assert aren't true. (Not to mention that some of his complaints are clearly just poor decision-making on his part - why in the world would he gamble away a third of his money when he was three chopped logs away from affording the wine?) The fact that he chose all of the articles calling it a failure and none of the investor reports calling it a success says a lot, IMO.
