Yeah, he was so forgiving he called the game a huge disappointment at the moment, not worth getting at full price right now, and encouraged people to wait until March or June.  Oh, and also told apologists for the game to shut up very early on.  Yeah, super forgiving.  

Seriously, actually listen to what he says.  Oh and Evolve launched with significantly less content than SFV in many areas (seriously, think about that) and intended to sell every single piece for inflated prices, all of which was up for sale at launch and the majority cannot be obtained by any other means.  And Battlefront launched with crappy preorder benefits, severe lack of content, and a $40 season pass.  All of which was announced at launch.  He got livid then cause it was confirmed.  He isn't going to foam at the mouth over hypothetical rip offs.

Seriously people, my word, he does everything we always demand these critics to do.  He warns the game is lacking content, is disappointing at this moment, isn't worth the price tag as is, and encourages people to wait all without jumping on the bandwagon of people giving it a 1 to 4 (seriously folks, play Ride to Hell or Two Worlds or Mind Jack before you give this any of those scores).  Isn't that what we want, detailed honesty?  He gives credit where do and criticizes hard where needed.  

Seems you either missed or intentionally ignored the first sentence of my post :)

Also thanks to reviews like Angry Joe's, youre extremely wrong about Evolves launch. And what you just said about Battlefront can be applied to SFV. But theres no vitriol in this video because he has a deal with Capcom. The gloves dont come off. So he is cutting a game and company a break literally because he is paid to do so. 

I didn't miss anything, I was well aware of the deal with Capcom before this video even happened.  And he comes out and says it in this video and even says he won't do a review due to perception of impropriety.  And no, the situation with Battlefront is NOT comparable to SFV.  Some people are ASSUMING the situations will wind up the same, but as of now they are NOT the same.  Hence the reason he sounds more highly concerned than angry.  Also, I did a lot more research on Evolve than just his review as I was interested in it.  And yeah, it was pathetically bare and had publically announced plans for ridiculous DLC.  Also, this is a post launch rant after he has played the game and he found the gameplay exceptional which obviously factors in.  Frankly, this isn't as "out of character" as people are making it out to be.  Look up his Civilization Beyond Earth review, it has the same tone of disappointment.  He doesn't exist to just flip out.
