God, I fucking hate Downward Thrust. He's the epitome of "I can edit a video and make a good thumbnail therefore I'm good at critique and analysis". He makes these videos where he doesn't actually say anything important, interesting, or unique. Same with CleanPrinceGaming, I get the feeling that both are popular because they give off the feeling of making great content just because of their sleek thumbnails and decent editing. It's just such braindead content.
That being said, I think one of the only reasons this video is getting downvoted is because he critiqued The Witcher 3. And while I don't agree with his points regarding that game, I think it's kind of sad that a video got heavy dislikes because one example in particular was looked at unfavorably. Had he not used that game as a reference point, the video would have much less dislikes. Because generally, this seems to be the same generic boring attitude that most people take up nowadays. I certainly don't think the video would have been disputed if he only focused on canonized "bad" modern titles, it would just speak to a wide spread belief that gets tossed around constantly. It's not that it's sad he's getting hate for criticizing a great game, it's that I think people would agree 100% had he just not used that particular product. Otherwise I think this would be looked at as incredibly insightful or something, when in reality it's always been a sad attitude with some good points but very little validity as a whole.
