David Jaffe's take on Metroid Dread

This is at a point in the game where it has long been established that breakable blocks will be a common thing. It's not even an obscure room where more open space becomes visible only after breaking certain blocks, what we have here is a room where it is in plain sight that shooting the ceiling could lead further.

A player has to act deliberately obtuse to not shoot this particular ceiling, so I can only assume that Jaffe had realized this early in the game that it's better than anything he has ever made and was already looking for reasons to justify why that is not the case. He's reaching hard and everyone who has played the game notices this immediately. He's not providing criticism, but mere desperation to find something to complain about.

But to be fair, it may not be the case that he dislikes the game because it's better than everything he ever did. He could very well be just a plain old Nintendo hater, because that type of personality results in the same mindboggling drivel.

Right? He must do this on purpose. He can't be that incompetent... or can he?
