so now 24 fps is ok while they had to put enphasis on MK8 going 59 fps???? amazing....
and screen tearing should be in the "oh god why category"

Yeah. The deal they made about it was absurd. Now less than half is acceptable. Pretty ridiculous. 

Except DF didn't make an issue of it at all. They said in the same paragraph that it was a relatively minor issue, and that the majority wouldn't notice it at all :/

It's their job to report on everything they find. Something weird like every 60-ish frame repeating itself is justified in being mentioned, and noticeable to the small number of people sensitive to light stutters.

It was made an issue of. Especially given that they praise one game for a much larger drop. Take the next quote, for example:

 

"We've collected laps from a handful of different environments. Notice how the frame-rate inconsistencies manifest during gameplay. This issue is difficult to observe in a 30fps video but quite noticeable during actual gameplay"

 

Quite noticable during gameplay? 24 fps still relatively impressive?

 

What's that smell?

 

 

Bullshit.
