I feel like I've been given a wonderful gift because I genuinely don't care about 60fps vs 30.

[SinglePlayerFan]

I see how obsessed this place is with games being 60fps and I feel so fortunate that it's something I just don't care about. Like not at all. I've seen post after post talking about how they didn't enjoy game X because of the frame rate and it's something I've never cared about. So many posts about how they didn't enjoy a game or worse they couldn't be bothered to even play a game because it wasn't 60fps while I've played countless games at 30 fps and I've never had a problem with it. I'm so very thankful that I don't give a shit about frame rates and can just enjoy a game for what it is and I feel bad for those of you who have the unfortunate affliction of being obsessed about the frame rate of games you play. It seems to ruin the enjoyment of amazing games for so many of you and I often think how glad I am that it's not something that I care about. I realize I'm in the tiny minority here but boy am I ever glad to be an outlier in this case.

I pretty much only notice it if I have first hand experience with both versions to make a direct comparison.

So like, playing Kingdom Hearts Final Mix or Dark Souls on PS3 and then moving on to the PS4 versions. That's about it.

I'm with you OP. :)
60fps sure is nice if possible, but 30fps is just fine. If the framerate is stable 30fps I never stop and say to myself: "Oh this would be so much better in 60fps!" Never crosses my mind.

 

[ss_lemonade]

As I got older, framerates have been less of an issue for me. 30 is fine for me but maybe that's because I grew up playing more console games. I still appreciate 60 and higher though.

By the way, what's with all the 30/60 fps threads lately?

 

[Torpedo Vegas]

It in I can take it or leave it territory. I can tell the difference, but it doesn't impact my enjoyment one way or the other.

 

[kamineko]

this reads like spillover from another argument

 

[VanWinkle]

You can look at it that way, sure, but you can also look at it like you can't experience how nice and smooth 60fps is compared to 30.

It's kind of like in books, where digital-only readers say how they don't have to deal with bad bindings and misprints and stuff like that. Which is true, but then, they also don't get to experience the great quality books, which are so nice.

 

[KOfLegend]

I used to not care.

Then I got an OLED.

Now I very much care.

 

[iceblade]

Same here. 30 FPS is perfectly fine by me and anything more is gravy.

 

[HardRojo]

I can tell the difference and if a game on console gives me the choice, I'll probably stick to 60 fps, but I get used to 30 fps after a while if there's no choice. I recently played the first 3 Gears games on Series X after playing almost everything at 60 fps on PS5 and it was fine after an hour or so.
Edit: Oh just saw the first page. This is a reaction thread from another thread, isn't it? That's lame.

 

[RochHoch]

Same

If the game is playable, I probably won't even notice most of the time

 

[kimbo99]

Same here OP. I prefer 60 FPS+, but 30 is fine most of the time.

 

[Rendering...]

Same. I notice framerate differences if I can compare them directly, but 30fps doesn't bother me if it's stable.

 

[Hippopuncher12]

I mean I can tell the difference, I just don't care like you. All I want is the game to be fun, everything is whatever. Granted if a game has the option for both I'll do the 60, but I am perfectly fine playing a game that is 20 FPS if I enjoy the game.

Click to shrink...

It is from the other 30 fps thread. Could have been posted there.

 

[AgeEighty]

I'm with you kinda? I prefer 60 to 30 if it's there and I don't have to make any major sacrifices, but it doesn't affect my enjoyment of a game all that much.

 

[nitewulf]

Do you care about 15 FPS vs 30 FPS?

 

[Mechaplum]

Yeah 30fps is fine, but only if it's stable and locked. Frame pacing is more important as that isn't something you can try and get used to.

But like, I get it though. I'm not going to refuse 60fps lol, and is also why I'm waiting for HZD and RDR2 to get updates before I play them.

 

[Jonathan Lanza]

Not caring about something isn't a special quality. Most people don't care about most things.

 

[jobrro]

60FPS is better, but I will still usually choose the 30FPS mode if there is an appreciable quality jump. Ray tracing and high image quality are more important than 60FPS for me, most of the time anyway.

 

[Rouk']

I spent a large part of my teens playing Minecraft at 15-20 fps

30 fps is enough for me

 

[Morrigan]

We don't need yet another thread for this, especially when there's an active one
