He enjoys a scene in Spec Ops, then he let's the game being a game that needs to move forward ruin his perception of the scene. He let's one thing, ruin his experience for the game. He harps on about "Options" but he could just as easily just walk through his carnage in Spec Ops. Then, he let's the FACT that Hotline Miami FORCES you to walk through your carnage, moves it up.
Dude even says that, he didn't even notice it at first. BUT, because he noticed the fact that Walker reacts to his own actions(their your's too btw) and the fact that he has to walk through the burned corpses of people instead of running full speed through their bodies sully his experience. The game even explains why you can't be huffing and puffing at that point. i.e. Air's toxic, slow down.
TL;DR: This guy hates walking in order to take in a scene, and would much rather miss it the first time around to play through it again. He let's the fact that he misses stuff, augment his feelings for when he notices them afterwards to make him feel smarter. I hoped I saved you forty minutes. Seriously like ten minutes of this video is about him, disliking the White Phosphorus scene because he can't not kill them all. BUT, in Hotline Miami YOU HAVE TO KILL EVERYONE NO MATTER WHAT. Shit makes no sense. What do you want dude?
Typical pseudo-intellectual bullshit TBH. He praises Hotline Miami for doing the exact same thing he complains about in Spec Ops: The Line, purely because he couldn't sprint during a scene in Spec Ops. Also his whole thing about homage is bullshit. Final Fantasy VII is great because it takes shots almost directly from Bladerunner, but Spec Ops is a bad homage to Heart of Darkness because it's vaguely similar to Apocalypse Now. What?
It's like he doesn't understand the difference between homage and adaptation half the time.

Also comparing the intro to FF VII to an ad for Black Ops III? What's the point in this? They have entirely different goals, in fact the story of Black Ops III is entirely removed from the ad if he had compared the games it would have been much more valid (especially since Black Ops III has a very direct homage to Terminator in it's opening).
He keeps comparing apples to oranges and then what he really does is complain about how, he, HIMSELF ruined his experience by being angry at the fact that he couldn't run through that scene. Sure the message is rather hamfisted, but this dude probably would have missed it entirely otherwise.
Dude probably got an A on an essay once, and said, "I can write video essays on video games, bruh." Probably puts that shit on a resume too.
