Digital Foundry is no longer controlled by IGN

twuly wemarkable news from our fwend and colleague. at larst we can have the full fat 4k digital fowndwy expewience without intwusion from IGN and eurogaylord. how will this impact df? well the wesults speak for themselves - twuly twansformative. gone are the hogwarts legacy blackouts and in its place rock solid 60fps stweam of bespoke solutions. now onto our new video "DLSS 4 vs PSSR - have upscalers gone WOKE?"
 
Why would anything like that make any adult uncomfortable? It's not like you either get horny by pixels or uncomfortable and there's no in-between like say, just be unfazed by whatever content and simply play the game (whether cos you like the rest of it or just need to cover it for a video etc.)?

Even if you wanna make some kind of commentary on potential negative connotations of such depictions, it's still something one would acknowledge happens quite regularly, enough to both hold such an opinion of it & still personally be unfazed when encountering it because it's that common.

Not really an explanation for any adult that's encountered pandering (to teenage-boys as you say, or any other niche really) content (games or otherwise) for decades, sorry. Maybe some random that lives under a rock and doesn't realise such content exists could get uncomfortable the first time.
Society progresses, expectations change.
 
Some people find the teenage-boy baiting massive-titted, almost naked young girl image from so many East Asian games a bit creepy.

That's funny because in that kind of situations it's always the same, when they were under IGN "no no we're free to say what we want, we receive no pressure at all" and then after going independent "it's good because now we can say what we want". wtf
 
Society progresses, expectations change.
Understanding society at any level as any adult should would, again, mean one is simply unfazed by any-baiting content, understanding both the reasons and the frequency of its existence, even regardless of if they feel compelled to promote or fight against it (or neither, again, much in-between).

I don't even know if he did get uncomfortable, that's all I commented on, but since you are defending that (in a pretty weird way that seems to both not comprehend the posts quoted and the lack of any real arguments in your own responses to) I guess it doesn't matter to you. Anyway, carry on...

Mocking speech impediments - classy.

If you understand society, things you dislike shouldn't bother you in any way. If you understand there are people cruel to animals you should be unfazed by kittens having their eyes poked out by knitting needles.

How is brutalising animals, or people (both happen in games very often, mind, and they've been covered by DF plenty without commentary on that), at all similar to what we're discussing (ie voluptuous humans in inconvenient clothes for their random fantasy scenarios like alien invasions)?

Again you show a distinct lack of basic reading comprehension.

You clearly missed the discussion & purity spiral Hogwarts spawned.
I don't care tbh, my reply was to the false claim that they were "ignoring Hogwarts".
I think the bans on discussing the games on other forums are ridiculous but I don't agree with some of the behaviour of the original author and really cba with culture war nonsense.
Let people be.

I was responding to your "Understanding society at any level as any adult should mean one is simply unfazed by anything, we're all emotionless robots after all" stuff and have no idea why you care so much whether one analyst is comfortable with a game or not.
 
Or maybe, just maybe some people don't see the world like you.

As for Hogwarts...

they didn't cover Hogwarts at launch and Richard had to step in and do it. I guess they changed their mind a year later. Please pay attention.

And it wasn't just forums that didn't cover it. Eurogamer didn't acknowledge its existence.

edit: IIRC one of the guys claimed he didnt coer it because he hates open world games, even though he covered plenty of them before. It was weird.

If you're "quoting" someone then don't add your own weird interpretation of it instead of what was actually written, that's a textbook straw man argument and you're veering further and further away from the initial post you argued against every time your lack of coherent points is pointed out🤦‍♂️

Being unfazed by unrealistically dressed/endowed women doesn't mean being unfazed by kittens brutalised, just as being fazed doesn't make one a mature adult (it's all I asked, how being adult is the reason to be uncomfortable and vice versa not being uncomfortable implying one's immaturity).

None of this should have to be explained to anyone, never mind one (childishly) posturing adulthood, but here we are as you try to change your initial claim and my questioning it into something way different, about unique (adult) snowflakes that should be allowed to be (nobody said otherwise).
Educate me on what your point is then and why you care so much.
If he's comfortable with tits everywhere, I don't care, if he's uncomfortable, I also don't care.
I "care so much"? I just asked you the above question, you double down with random nonsense that has nothing to do with it even if you apparently don't care at all about any of this but still have accumulated most of the posts in here by questioning the opinions/age/sexuality of others. Weird🤷‍♂️

While you discuss Alex Bugaga's sexuality, he continues to produce biased content favoring those who sponsor them the most...

At the launch of the GeForce 3090, they made a video to show how it was an "8K" graphics card.
At the launch of the GeForce 4090, they made a video to show how bad Spider-Man was at 60fps on the PS5 and how you needed to play it at 120fps on the 4090.

DF at the launch of these two cards seemed like an Nvidia advertisement for the cards.

That's what this Woke bullshit and identity-based agenda are for... a smokescreen for the rich (Nvidia) to make more money by deceiving and robbing everyone (consumers).

What matters is who gains money and power and who loses money and power; the rest is irrelevant compared to this material reality.

They didn't cover it at launch as WB specifically asked them to wait until the patch dropped, which they have done for other games as well. They have done 6 dedicated Hogwarts Legacy videos and have discussed it in a number of directs.

Like I said, Richard stepped in and did it while the other guys threw a hissy fit online about not touching it.

I can't recall another one of these covered entirely by the EIC while the other guys stayed away.

This has existed and has been a consensus for almost 200 years.

Now in the US, they're killing CEOs...

But let's not talk about billionaire CEOs denying health coverage to their insured so someone can profit from people dying. Let's talk about men wearing or not wearing skirts.

We also shouldn't talk about Nvidia buying the press to deceive consumers and increase profits at the expense of consumers. Let's talk about whether Alex Bugaga is right or not to wear a skirt.

Hogwarts released Feb 10th '23, DF's video was out Feb 19th '23, they don't cover every release at launch.

Some of their staff had issues with the game but that doesn't mean they didn't cover it, they had content out for it in the release window.

Oliver and Richard have both done dedicated videos for the game, and Alex has talked about it on Directs as well. John lost his shit on twitter as he kept getting harassed about the game, as coverage of it turned into another aspects of culture war.

Richard covering games isn't odd, he does it quite often.
