I like them. Nice work and since they're independent, it feels more authentic.
And mistakes are welcome. All of them were humans. I like them!

Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
I've never watched their stuff but I have picked up on what they do through threads here. I'm not sure if they are pretentious douches or if they just encourage people to be pretentious douches online over game performance but that's been my perception.
I could, and likely am, totally wrong.

Alex was openly talking about DLSS issues in Dying Light 2 at launch (I think with grass in DD2 as well but I'm not sure), preset D causing ghosting issues in one of the Hitman games and he showed how much difference there is between preset D (game default at the time) and preset E (that just launched) in Avatar.
They also were the first to show issues with DLSS 4.5. Seems like you don't pay attention.

John Linneman is the only one I care about; I couldn't care less about the rest.

Thorough dislike.

I hate the way 'teeth' Leadbetter chuckles like a schoolboy at practically everything he says. It's weird enough to make me dislike him all by itself.
Then you have manbaby 'Three-Chins' Linneman creating drama out of thin air and carrying around a deck of victim cards to pull out as soon as he gets upset about anything.
As for Battaglia, he's just a smug weirdo with a face that's begging to be hit. The real reason he has back pain is because it's so full of the shit that doesn't quite make it out of his mouth.
Other than that, they're ok.

Love them. But sometimes their videos don't hit and they can have blunders just like anyone else.
They backup their findings with evidence generally- not sure how you can hate on that.

Man, people get so butthurt when digital foundry criticizes their favorite plastic box or RGB aquarium.

Never watched them, but isn't one of them that clown who got upset by the look of eve in Stellar Blade.
Weeks after people complaining with some games. In the PSSR2 vs FSR4 vs DLSS 4.5 you can see in their footage some artifacts on DLSS 4.5 non present in the other versions and he didn't even mention.

Very rarely watch any of their videos.
Never understood GAFs obsession with them.

But they were the first to cover those artifacts in RT games, only few people knew about them before then and it was days if I remember correctly. Many people were testing games in DLSS thread (including me) and I think no one saw those artifacts before their video.
What video you are describing here?

I don't mind them though I think they do more harm than good, but they do sometimes do some good by getting issues to devs that get fixed.
I don't usually hate anyone but I strongly dislike that Oliver fellow.
Every time Oliver is featured in a video all I can think of is this.

They overall do good work (especially John with Retro) but god they're socially weak and performative. So yeah, I pick "mixed".

type of shit you'll never see in a DF video.
When something like this happens in PSSR, they'll use it as a reference in every video they make lol.

Similar to AI, only ever used it as a tool if it fits my needs. So mixed I guess.
Some of their performance videos offer some useful settings to cut down on performance cost with minimal image quality drop...so I like that.
Some of their videos talk about new graphical tech that's neat, so I'll watch those, and some of the retro content is nice. The rest of the stuff they do I don't watch, and catering to the resetera crowd will hurt them in the long-run.

I only trust Alex. Johnny Darko 10X can be enjoyable to watch in light servings. Thomas is to the point without any shenanigans.
Shaved Bob's Big Boy and Richard the Turd are sus sus SUS, especially after that DLSS 5 fiasco.

No one shall be brought before our LORD David Bowie without the true and secret knowledge of the Photoshop. For in that time, so shall He appear.
Hell yeah, I love DF. They put more effort into their vids than almost anyone else, and I find that my game tastes often align with John's, especially in terms of retro.
I don't understand the hate they get here. They're one of the few remaining publications that actually tries to put effort into their content, and provide real data.
Those guys rule.
