Regarding DF, I’ve been a little on the fence whether they are non partisan or indeed are potentially sponsored by some titles.
The game that made me question it is Black Ops 4. The analysis read the game was leaps and bounds, best ever engine, etc. but to my eyes it did not hold water. Then some other comparisons surfaced clearly showing a downgrade from Black Ops 3. Certainly was an eyebrow raising moment.
Edit: In saying this, DF analysis is done by people, prone to human mistakes and human bias e.g preference off certain styles, effects etc. With comparisons some things may be downgraded, some things may be better, not everything can be covered, and a game is a sum of its parts.
DarkX and the rest of DF crew does excellent work and personally I never miss an analysis. Keep it up and don’t sweat the critique, console wars brings out the emotion because people are so invested and lash out at anything that undermines their side.
