I find it fascinating that the people who don't like the NXG video analysis, are the people drawing the most attention to his videos. Is this some stealth virus marketing approach? I can only assume so because anybody familiar with the internet shouldn't be that naive.
Well done. Really.. well done.
It's largely a simple matter of DF having a packed schedule and are not always first out of the gate with analysis on a particular game. NXGamer would likely still get a few lols if he posted his incorrect analysis later, but for a new game/patch, especially one like Resident Evil where the art style makes objective analysis somewhat difficult, more time is going to be devoted to trying to suss out the truth when we don't have a more reliable source to fall back on. His video was the only one providing extensive commentary at the time.
As well, Mike's allergy to occasionally just saying "Whoops, my bad, may have gotten that one wrong" drags these things out a bit too. If his subsequent Twitter thread was more about expressing some level of doubt after receiving the critique, rather than the bizarre tangent he went off on (which, 4 days later, has still not elaborated one what the point was), there's not much to point and shake your head at with that. If DF doubled-down on every incorrect assumption, and also presented those assumptions as concrete evidence, there would be a lot more critical posts about them too.
Either way I don't think Beyond 3D really has much of an influence, and certainly not one in any danger of 'promoting' someone to a small audience that is highly critical.
