While some people agree with Jared that the game has not aged well, others argue that Jared's being overly harsh on a game that was acclaimed when it first came out and still has plenty of fans to this day. His Sonic Adventure 2 review has invoked a mixed reaction too.People got noticeably miffed at his review of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance ending in a 4/10, mostly due to the fact that he made observations you'd expect from someone who only played the tutorial level, one example being his belief that the game lacked a dodge function when it's one of the first things you unlock in the main story.An indirect example, but in his Super Mario 3D World review (which was very positive, he gave the game a 9/10, which isn't a score Jared gives out often), he said the game is "the first must own game on the Wii U." Fans of games like Pikmin 3 and The Wonderful 101 assumed this meant Jared didn't think very highly of those games (both were released months before 3D World), causing a small amount of backlash.A decent amount of comments on the video itself are of people saying how much they disagree with the game even making the list at all, let alone being placed as being worse than Final Fantasy XIII-2, a game that already had a huge Broken Base.
Harsher in Hindsight: In his "Worst Games of 2014", Ground Zeroes is on the list for being an obscenely expensive demo, which leads him to discuss that the Konami's had a questionable future in recent years, briefly praising P.T., and that Hideo Kojima is the only thing keeping the company afloat.
