So, first of all you're complaining that in a video about Shenmue (not Shenmue 1 and 2, just Shenmue), he talks about Shenmue, but not Shenmue 2. Yeah, funny how that goes. I don't really get why that would change anything. Even if the second game is better by a considerable margin, it doesn't make the first retroactively better. As far as the subjective things you complain about, yeah, games that can be considered dreadful today do become cult classics. Some games just don't really age all that well, so while they may have been good or even great in the past, they don't necessarily hold up very well today. For example, a huge number of early 3D titles that were revolutionary at the time are absolutely horrendous to play today, and many were horrendous even then, we just didn't really know any better.

True. Silent Hill may be a classic, but man does it play like shit.
