John Linneman from Digital Foundry tried doing this shit too with FF16, saying 'it would have been better to just keep the quality mode in at 30fps, performance mode looks unpolished'.
Black person GTFO, I'm not playing a DMC action game at 30fps.
John never insults other people though. He just says in his opinion its better to just play at a locked 30fps rather than a messy 40 to 60 fps that flips flops all over the place.
Sometimes it seems like their job isn't neutrally reporting information to their audience and analyzing games, but promoting games and downplaying real criticism.

game journalism died when it moved to the internet
They actually did their fricking jobs when it was printed. They played the games to completion, and you only got the job if your articles had some level of charisma.
Yes, by leaps and fricking bounds since the ~2010 dark ages. You can unironically thank gamergate for scaring them back in line
I remember.
Yeah, that's the one. I would argue that this video coming out years earlier was the thing that contributed to gamergate the most. The industry was openly insulting and condescending to the audience set the stage, all it took was a lightning rod to focus their attention.
Rare based journo moment.
"Gamers" (PC losers) obsession with 60fps has actually gone on to ruin other art forms: artistic decisions in old films for example, ruined by gamer's desperate obsession with making everything 60.
We've had fricking decades with 30 fps game. Some even being classics (FF7 was 15fps, RE4 was 30) I'm not opposed to 60fps games, but being below that isn't as bad as it's made out.

Based anon, consistency is the key with framerate.
He said specifically DMC wouldnt be bad at 30FPS. Which is BS. Because DMC has ALWAYS been 60fps and the framerate is integral to both delivering the action at a fast rate and it means the controls will be twice as responsive which is required in battle.
High ramerate is more important in videogames because you have free camera movement. Movies are fine at 24 fps because they're either drawn to work at that speed or filmed with the optimal shutter speed for the camera's movement.
Ang Lee's insistence on attempting high framerate cinema has proven that it's unnecessary.
Gamergate destroyed the games "journalists" . We won v.
No, their used to be fun and joy in it, now it's full of opinion pieces from c**ts who have had no real life experience
Nope.
YouTubers are louder than them now so you don't hear about the articles from those websites that much.
No, they're just slightly better at masking their contempt these days
lol no they arent, they are unified in their contempt and feel insulated from any consequences, western game developers buy into the same contempt and are then confused when their billion dollar game struggles to make its money back
No.
games journalism is where the liberal arts major that cant get a job at their parent's company works after being hired by a friend of a friend of a friend who owes a favor to their dog's aunt because she showed feet pix once on discord.
It gets worse every day. It's so sad that GG failed:
-Jason Schreier still lives.
-Tim Rogers is making 1 billion dollars per month on patreon talking about how he lived in Japan once.
-Leigh Alexander now works as a consultant getting paid 10 times more than ever, telling publishers what to do.
-Frank Cifaldi gets paid to give speeches advertising his compilations while lying about emulation being bad.
Schreier is an actual proper journalist, however, he digs stuff up instead of only writing opinion pieces.
It was always going to lose eventually, anon.
They had all the positions of power, it was just a matter of time, but what happened did work for a time and did affect them. They complain about GG to this very day, constantly.
It has always sucked and it sucks now. In magazine era it was hype men who were dazzled by bribes in forms of trips and PR shit, then in internet era it became a refuge of wannabe journalists who are too busy trying to be something bigger, deeper and more influential than they actually are. Good vidya journalists have always been a fricking rarity, and it hasn’t got better.
No, it has declined in quality over the years all over the world and not just in english-speaking countries
It was perfectly fine in the 90s and 00s with magazines and early internet coverage. It went downhill when broadband became common.
Yes, 100%
You can actually find some decent game journalist sites now.
You zoomers have no fricking idea how bad it was: It was just constant abuse. I still fricking remember the dragon's crown bullshit.
