I don't usually see Jim taking a "I really don't like <THING>. It has a huge fanbase though... Maybe it has some redeeming qualities but it's just not for me" stance. Why anyone would expect any different considering he has expressed his dislike for the series multiple times in the past and for Shenmue 3 specifically even before release?
Even though the game is generally well received by backers (the most invested segment of its target audience and to whom is mostly tailored to) his platform is largely based on negativity. This means that given his dislike for the series, past negative talk surrounding the series and somewhat slow news cycle, it's too tempting not to talk about Shenmue 3 and Shenmue in general in a bad light. Like I said before, it's low hanging fruit. So tempting he doesn't even bother if there are some blatant contradictions or factually wrong statements here and there.
