Do you enjoy games less if they are 30fps instead of 60fps



Why is everyone always complaining when a game is 30fps? Yes, 60fps is preferably, whenever possible, but console power is limited. So you have to make choices - either deliver a stunning world at high resolution and run it at 30fps like Uncharted 4, or creating a gaming running at 60fps with medium-low quality graphics like Nioh.

Does a 30fps game really rob you of enjoyment?
If you're only contribution to a post is to tell someone they're trolling.....then you're the one that's actually trolling.

if it did then I wouldn't be playing on consoles since the vast majority of games are now, and always have been, 30fps

Makes a big difference and does alter the experience for me, but a stable 30FPS is bearable once you get used to it, but IMO in this day and age it is not acceptable.

It depends generally I don't give a f***. But it really matters what games are designed at. A game designed at 60fps running at 30fps is not the same as a game designed at 30fps running at 30fps. Its two completely different experiences.

I am perfectly fine with games designed at 30fps. I am not fine with a game designed at 60fps running at 30fps.

it doesn't ruin the game for me. at least for most genres.

but 60 is always better. i'll gladly take less impressive graphics for a better framerate
My New Years resolution is to get a girlfriend. Will most likely not change this sig until then (1/05/17)

it doesn't ruin my experience but 60 fps greatly enhances it

As long as it's a stable 30fps, it won't bother me one bit.

It certainly doesn't ruin the game, but I will definitely enjoy the game more if it's 60 fps rather than 30.

I care less about framerates than I do about frame pacing.

A 60 fps title that has horrible frame pacing is worse than a stable 30 fps title with perfect frame pacing. It makes the game much less jarring to look at.
