I don't doubt that Jim simply didn't enjoy the game as much as everyone else did. There is certainly a case to be made that criticism gets exaggerated at times to get more attention. Again, we're a week out from release and another glowing review will get lost in the shuffle.
A contrarian, "It's pretty good" review with a lot of (overblown IMO) criticism will engeder backlash and he'll probably get an episode out of it. Jim is a clever guy.
For a concrete example, I feel like whenever he does this, a tell tale sign is that he makes mountains out of molehills.
From the Zelda (7/10) review:
"the same old fucking cutscenes every time you open, enter, and complete shrines. Frequent interruptions when monsters respawn during a “blood moon” – "
All of the above is skippable, and charicatrizing the blood moon as "frequent" is a bit of a stretch. So the complaint IMO, reduces to a complaint about load times.
Here is Jim addressing the 30-60 second load times from Bloodborne (10/10)
"Perhaps my one notable criticism of the whole thing is the loading times between deaths – not a huge problem if you don’t intend to die a lot"
