The game has areas that are CPU limited(Hogsmeade). Even more so if you utilize raytracing.

 

[Spyxos]

Scared of Era. Weak and pathetic.

 

[VivaR3V]

Ban DF. Ban any links from any site who didn’t cover this game. They don’t deserve the ad impressions.

This is not a bad idea and has been mentioned a number of times. You simply cannot get through to these publications without some kind of action in response to their ridiculous aggressive actions.

They are essentially refusing to serve you as a customer because of some misguided view that they know better.

its a GAME and has a trans character included, who speaks like a man, walks like a man, has an adams apple and is wearing a dress!! What more does the Trans JK hating movement want from the game? These people are weirdos and I worry about what is happening to the gaming scene these days, if “journalists“ (and I use that word so loosely) believe they need to bring a movement into this.

it’s also no surprise about the DF guys as they frequent Era and would face issues there if they touched the game.

 

[brian0057]

Impressive. Very nice.
Let's see Digital Foundry's output these past months.




Harrassing women and driving them to suicide is copacetic.
Someone having opinions is verboten and will burn an effigy.
Hypocrite hacks.

 

[MMaRsu]

Time to unsubscribe from this cuck channel

 

[Jaybe]

Fuck ‘em, then. Will be unsubscribing from their YouTube channel.

Same

 

[Rien]

Already mentioned but.. what a bunch of cowards

 

[Nihilum]

They ought to know (Lead)better.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Performance on PC seems all over the place and the game is extremely CPU-heavy. There also seems to be memory allocation issues or RAM spillover but this isn't clear. I've seen some high-end machines run it fairly well while others run it like crap. Difficult to tell what's what but it'd be probably be best to wait for the Day 1 patch which I believe is due tomorrow.

This will be fixed, if not tomorrow then in the near future because PATCHES. While DF will remain a laughing stock for far longer. I guess Hogwarts Legacy pixels are transphobic as well.

 

[SCB3]

And unsubbed, same with any GAMING outlet refusing to cover Hogwarts Legacy, its a fucking joke, I will not be dictated to about what media I can or cannot consume and this is an extention of it

[RoboFu]

They currently have 1.3 million subs. Let’s see if that goes down over next week as more people learn of this.

 

[ChiefDada]

Are you sure this is accurate? On the DF Patreon they said they couldn't review yet because they didn't receive review codes. They were discussing plans to cover it in the near future.

 

[BeardGawd]

What's amazing to me is that these people don't care what the vast majority of the PUBLIC wants. Just idiotic to try and force their opinion on everyone else. I view them as partisan hacks now.

Surely doing a purely technical video wouldn't have been an issue, especially given that IGN reviewed it (and gave it a great high score). I guess the idea is that they expect to get dogpiled for covering the game in any capacity whatsoever.

Dogpiled by the vast minority? Nah. Someone on staff, probably Battaglia, has some personal feelings about it.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Biggest release of the year so far and they’re not going to cover it because a small group of assholes will likely try to cancel them over it? Seems short sighted to me but whatever. They’re running a business at the end of the day.

Shame too as I’m sure Alex would have had a lot to say about the PC version.

 

[Cyborg]

Of course it is. They can do what the fuck they like and so can I and everyone else by not supporting them anymore.

Well stop making them so important and stop making threads if you stopped supporting them. Not saying you made this thread but general speaking

 

[rofif]

Pathetic as fuck.
This is the most technically interesting release in some time.
Who cares what jkr thinks? She has a right to think whatever she likes.
Besides… she has nothing to do with the game anyway.

Where can we tell df that this is idiotic decision? There are no dislikes on yt

 

[FBeeEye]

Unsubscribing from them if true. Is it too much for an outlet to rise above the fray and just do their jobs? Why does everyone have to pick a side.

Expect everything out of Europe to be in support of everything demonic and degenerate.

 

[RafterXL]

Who thought they would? John and Alex regularly post on ResetEra and after Ion Fury they probably don't to deal with the blowback.

 

[SJRB]

Depriving yourself of hundreds of thousands of clicks to virtue-signal to a fraction of your target audience.

Congrats you played yourself, you dumb fucks.

 

[mansoor1980]

what was the issue with ion fury?

 

[trikster40]

Game is phenomenal so far. -They really don’t understand their target audience because they’re afraid of a few loud opponents.

 

[TintoConCasera]

There are no dislikes on yt

Isn't there some plugin out there that lets you see them?

 

[Art The Clown]

 

[nightmare-slain]

Well stop making them so important and stop making threads if you stopped supporting them. Not saying you made this thread but general speaking

No i didn't make this thread so what are you talking about? Maybe OP does support them so wanted to post it?

Don't worry I won't be giving them any attention going forward.

 

[SaiyanRaoh]

Honestly and I hate to say it, but things like this do more to harm Trans rights than help because it just turns everyone against them.

Yes, absolutely. And I gotta say, I’ve said some pretty incendiary shit towards them over the last couple of years myself. You don’t try to tell me what I can play with my own money and then try to shame me when I tell you to go fuck yourself. I’m not wired that way.

 

[Shtef]

 

[SCB3]

It really does, it makes them all look like lunatics, I have Trans friends and colleagues, hell I'm a LGBT ally, guess what, most of them are pretty normal people who just want to be accepted for who they are,

Hell several of them are playing this game right now

 

[Luipadre]

Most of us are playing the game already and its great on the technical side so fuckem

 

[gaming_again]

what was the issue with ion fury?

There’s a small section under the ‘reception’ tab on its wiki page.

It’s exactly what you’d expect although with a rare ending to the sorry tale.

 

[Gaiff]

Are you sure this is accurate? On the DF Patreon they said they couldn't review yet because they didn't receive review codes. They were discussing plans to cover it in the near future.

99% certain as all sign points to them wanting to distance themselves from the game. If I'm wrong, I'll ask for mods to delete this thread and you can all feel free to shame me.

 

[Charles Brandon]

Meh, they are obviously in a difficult position.

 

[Mr Moose]

Unsubbed until they cover it.

 

[gaming_again]

Yeah it’s a real toughie!

 

[Saber]

They made a joke and the crazies though was transphobic. Just like they think everything in life is transphobic.

I really wonder if this is all indeed a thing, but if true I unfortunatelly won't be following them. They should put their profissionslism in question.

Wait I thought GAF told me they were Xbox fanboys.
You mean they are actually Playstation fanboys?

P.S
Digital Foundry is under Eurogamer which in turn is wholly owned by the GNL (the same company that owns Rock Paper Shotgun, VG247, GameIndustry Biz etc etc)....which itself is wholly owned by Reel Ex......the DF guys are on a Salary, whether a video does well or not doesnt actually affect their pay.
Not covering Hogwartz Legacy on Digital Foundrys Youtube channel is not even a drop in the ocean in loss of potential revenue terms.

I wouldn't consider myself a fanboy. Only console I have is a Switch. I'm a PC gamer. Maybe I'm a PC fanboy...

From watching their videos in the past my impression is that they hate having to say anything that makes Playstation look bad. If they have to say a game looks better on Xbox or PC they it's almost like it's through gritted teeth.

Maybe I'm wrong and imagining it. Maybe they've changed. I don't watch a lot of their videos anymore so maybe they've shifted to Xbox but somehow I doubt it.

 

[RoadHazard]

Disappointing, they should be above this crap and just objectively tell us how the game runs.

And who is this guy posting that I don't reccon?

Alex Battleguy, their ray tracing stutter struggle master race expert.

 

[JLB]

This is one of the most stupid decisions they have ever made. Unsubscribed.

 

[ToTTenTranz]

People calling them "cowards" don't seem to grasp the fact that Eurogamer and by extension DigitalFoundry aren't really part of the crowd who's afraid of repercussions.

They're part of the crowd who will stalk and attempt to use their leverage in the industry to destroy peoples' lives for not following the herd.





NXGamer when are we going to get your coverage?

In the meantime there's ElAnalistaDeBits: (EDIT: didn't know it was banned)

Dictator is Alex Battaglia's account on Beyond3D.

The overlapping between Beyond3D and resetera users is probably close to 100% at this point.
Their sole active moderator has been working towards that goal for a decade.

 

[Mr Wonderstuff]

It's a slippery slope these media outlets are going down. What games will they review which have dodgy people involved or on the periphery (and there are lots) - does that suggest they condone their actions by reviewing? What defines a game not to be reviewed from now on? Once you have a position you are burdened with it.

 

[PendekarRajawali]

Bullshit generation.
