I exactly did, went in with an open mind. I should've known better, because well these are youtube content creators, they tend to push a certain narrative for clicks. Which was actually the case.
TL;DR: It is clear why he made this video. He wants more clicks, and he wants the people watching the DF video's to watch his video's. I get that. But the way he tries to achieve this, is by exaggerating, taking things out of context, all of that to fit a narrative. On top of that, by far
the worst part of it all, is that
he might be pushing a person to end it all. Stirring old shit up, jumping on the DF bias bandwagon, all for his own "brand growth", knowing fully well what this does to him. Based on nothing, but his own interpretations. That's so fucking despicable.

Breakdown of every issue I had with each section.
Scripted Gears Ultimate remaster video
No proof at all, he just thinks and feels the coalition gave them a script, or the information to write such a script. Apparently when DF creates content they have to sound incoherent, and can't take the time to write something proper.
Gears 5
This is where I got annoyed, and decided to put more time into this than I wanted. DF used an interview they did with The Coalition as one of many sources to highlight new elements in the game.What is so wrong with this? If you had the possibility to interview ND, and they explain you how they did the animations when a character moves through the water, wouldn't you use this? To explain the watcher/listener how this works? I don't even get the problem here.
Then he get
this old post from NeoGAF where he already broke his issues down, and DF even took the time to answer all these questions honestly
here. What is exactly the problem with his answers? Apparently in that thread, not that many issues anymore after DF answered them, but of course he doesn't properly show that in the video, because that doesn't fit the narrative. He sums it up by saying, DF just has "excuses". DF even said we only had 3-4 days with Gears 5 while we had 2-3 weeks with Spider-Man. That's why the Spider-Man analysis was more extensive when it came to reflections and stuff like that. You work with the time you have. But again, we don't mention this, because well narrative...
Crackdown 3
No proof at all again, just his interpretation of the video that is different from DF's analysis. But no proof...
Demon Souls RT
Tries to make a case that DF deliberately didn't want to see Demon Souls RT, while knowing a lot about it. His case is that on the one had DF wants to see the final build of Demons Souls to spot RT and see the difference between performance/non-performance mode, and how they implemented RT. While a couple of months ago they said RT might solve some problems for Halo Infinite and went very deep into RT tech. What he fails to mention, is that these were two different people reviewing... I understand that you would want DF to have a similar output of views, but these are two different people, at different times, looking at a game from a different angle with a different goal of the video.
That whole part was just a rambling of personal interpretations, and the only argument he really has is that DF can't drop a ball on ANYTHING. Every video has to be completely analysed completely, every aspect has to be discussed, and if they forget just one thing, he hits on that. Saying there is pattern, when there really isn't any.
