There’s a lot more than 8 minutes worth of content, but even if you thought there was only that, then you clearly got the point of posting the video. It wasn’t about the high quality jokes about Menards or Goopy Goblin Brain, it’s about the actual points about the game he makes in the video, whether they’re 8 minutes long or 40 minutes long.
Which is (to summarise for people who don’t like YouTube gamer level humour) that Naughty Dog relies on outdated and largely boring gameplay, produces games where your actions are wildly inconsistent with the narrative proposed in cutscenes, and in the car of TLOU2: where the overall message is grade school level in it’s complexity and approaches with hamfists, where it gives you no real reason to care about anyone aside from the game screaming “CARE ABOUT THIS PERSON, THEY HAVE A NAME!” and where TLOU1 was the exception because Joel was a ####ty person, so his actions and the reactions to them made sense, and you actually cared about Ellie, because you were actually present for the formation of that relationship.
