So you're judging an entire video that's almost 10 minutes long based off of the first 30 seconds?

Did the rest of the video consist of more in-depth analysis than "I don't like the design of this character based on the picture I'm being shown"? I'm pretty comfortable assuming it's all pretty similar to save 9:30, based on the fact that whoever put the video together felt the first 3-4 people I saw were representative enough of the overall point to be worth leading the video with, but I recognize that such assumptions should be made with an open enough mind to accept corrections if they turn out to be wrong.

They likely talked more than the 12 or so people in the video, and got similar results.

They could talk to 20 million people and get unanimous results and I'd still consider that opinion too narrow to be useful. Judging an entire game based on a single character's design (especially just a single picture of the design) is always going to be silly, regardless of which character it is, what you're judging about the character, or what the opinion ends up being. All I can conclude from these results is that people don't like the character design.

They're not wrong btw, they used a beautiful looking 32 year old asian woman, and made her into what looks like a 14 year old white woman, with marketing which mostly showed off her ass. That's pretty disgusting.

At a glance, it does look like a pretty generic action game that they're trying to make stand out using some good ol' T&A, and I can't say that I see any particular similarities between the main character and the model shown. Maybe the sexualization works better in context, maybe it's just cheap fanservice, maybe there's actually a good game underneath, maybe there isn't... I don't know enough about the game to judge anything, and random people on the street saying they don't like a picture of a character doesn't give me anything more to go off of.
