So how about that new Platinum frame rate, fellow console peasants?

Wow, thanks for posting that gif. I saw your earlier post about FPS in MEA. I've always wondered why people are so insistent on 60 FPS. I really only play on console, so I've never had the 60 fps experience. It's good to have some idea of what I'm missing out on.

For what it's worth, the difference between 30 and 60 FPS is minimal compared to teleporting enemies when periodically synchronizing with the host.

I mean, if framerate is important to you (if you're one of the chosen few who can "see" past 30 /s) then you shouldn't be playing on console

Who said anything about 30fps?

No, you're right. I'm never buying another console again. Focusing all my cash into keeping PC more up to date. But it's still sad to see console players defend 15-30 fps.

This is such a bizarre topic to take such a firm stance on.

And fwiw, I disagree. I need 60 fps on my fighters to hit my tight links, to properly interrupt strings with gaps, and whatnot. Consoles hit that in the competitive fighters.

I don't need 60 fps for my PVE horde mode space magic shooter. Why the hell would I?

So when you press a button, the thing you want to happens without any issue, and so that you can track targets accurately and smoothly at all times.

Never had a situation where a couple frames would really matter in a game like this. And targets warping around is a netcode/game code issue, not a framerate issue.

I don't know if it is better on the newer xbox models, but it feels like the frame rate is worse than ME3. Though some of that could be lag and the enemies bouncing around.

You've clearly misunderstood xaijin.



^ Which one is easier to track?





Click Spoiler for a hint;

You may be joking (it's obviously hard to tell on the internet), but never saw a video on Youtube? 60fps is the standard now, that's the best way to have an idea about the difference.

Some people truly don't care. In my case and from experience of always having a substandard PC or a PC on the "edge" (finally I'm out of that ditch) I never aimed for 60fps as useful as it was, I needed at least 40fps to git gud on shooters. But now, I really need those 60 minimum, especially if there's shooting to be done (for instance in a game like Skyrim, I don't care if it runs at 45 average), but the thing that I absolutely cannot stand is inconsistency, very common in games today. Either stay at 40 or stay at 60, don't fucking go 15 fps in one area and then 95 fps, and then 70 fps in another because that's gnome shit with capital G.

Yeah I went to a 165hz screen a handful of months ago. It is a wonder to play on. I can barely bring myself to even turn on my consoles anymore and since I boot them up so rarely, the first few hours are taken up with new OS patches.
