Did actually. I read the playstation forums complaint first, about the one where the menus and everything is also lagging and not just the gameplay, before I finished watching the video. The video does put out some interesting observations, but it seems I've adapted to it.
Do you really fell the lag when you pull the trigger on the gun?

Obviously many people do considering the thousands of complaints.
No one has commented on the much worse problem, the huge deadzone the game has. Like to see anyone try and pin that down to design or 'weight'. That is just complete failure on the devs side.

Many people don't know how to properly calibrate their TV.
Many people don't even know their TV has a gamemode.
Many people don't even know about response times.
Ever wondered why Guitar hero games have Calibration option built in the game?
They do it because the game relies entirely on precision pressing and many people aren't educated enough with response times.
Many people don't even know about the brightness setting on their TV.
GG is banking on graphics, which is why they have a brightness test at the start of the game.
Many people don't know, and they'd rather blame someone else. Sure there might be sensitive to lag people out there but they're few and far inbetween.
In the video the game had a 4-5 frame delay, but his TV had 1 frame input delay so the game itself has 3-4 frame delay.
Considering the game runs at 30frames per sec, a 3-4 frame delay is 0.1-0.13 of a sec delay. 0.1-0.13 seconds.
Can you really tell?
But consider your TV having bad response time added by that 0.1-0.13 second delay and it adds up, and thus you have your complaints.
And the deadzone is most likely to prevent spastic movements.
Remember this game relies on "momentum movement", it doesn't just move at a set rate, the longer you hold on the analog stick the faster it moves to that direction. So a flick would barely register since you're not getting enough momentum. Hence why people don't really complain about it in forums, though it is an interesting point in the video.
