For example me and my brother playing KZ have noticed slowdown in terms of frame rate drops,, yet DF never mentions that. It was rare but it did happen. Have you played the game yourself? I have seen their analysis and they only focussed on one or two small sections of the game. |
They have money and reputation on the line. DF does multiple tests on multiple machines, and primarily does PC tests anyway. Furthermore, unless you have objective tools like pixel and frame counters like DF does you're reliance on eyesight alone is not going to cut it unfortunately.
Thats why DF uploads videos to Youtube.
Youtube compresses and further messes up high quality streams most of the time, hence the overlay on the game video shows what framerate the game is running at, and they can tell the output resolution even on consoles.
DF doesn't nitpick on slowdowns that might appear, they focus on general trends.
DF like NPD is not infalliable, but they are the best objective information we have.
