Despite being nominated for numerous awards and even winning Game of the Year in 2018, the creator of God of War, David Jaffe, is not a huge fan of the new direction the series has gone in. Jaffe himself hasn't worked on these new God of War games, but thinks that they're not staying true to the spirit of the character and the franchise. The creator noted that if developers want to pour their life experiences into their work, they should do it with new IPs and characters.

The last thing I saw regarding him was him being unable to comprehend how secret rooms in Metroid work. It was painful.

Jesus. Kudos to that video editor stitching videos of other people doing it.

Hahahahah. Thank you for this.

Brutal. He's so wrong and he has no idea.

Which is something super common in Metroid too.
Hell he probably hasn't figured out you can shoot up and just tries to jump to fire horizontally at enemies instead.

You can't even chalk this up to an old man not understanding how modern games are played, either. The OG Metroid on the NES had blocks you could break by shooting upward. He's just an idiot.

I mean he directed God of war and twisted metal. He knew what was up back then.

Apparently not, since he doesn't even attempt it here.
