I usually don't notice unless a game deviates from the norm it sets.

Like I played Rebirth in 30fps and when I tried Performance, it was smoother yeah but it wasn't smoother in a way of less jank but some stuff felt like it was moving twice as fast as normal (which it was in a sense).

I don't like 60fps videos though, especially shot from a phone. All that interpolated shit feels fake as fuck and actively detracts from the video experience.

I can play a game at 30fps, but once the game of series goes 60, there's no turning back.

It's like going from 1080p to 480p, it's jarring

60 is better but 30 is fine.

I think I'm a rarity, being able to tell the difference but not considering it the only thing in the universe that matters.

Aren't all movies something like 29.998 fps?

I don't think I've ever watched one that was at 60.

Most films are shot at 24 fps.

TV movies might do 30 fps

I prefer and will gladly accept 60. That being said a STEADY 30 is acceptable to me too and I have been fine with it the majority of my life. What I don't like is when you try to hit 60 and constantly dip and fluctuate. In those cases I would rather just have a locked 30, or with the modern consoles some of the games have have a 40fps mode with the right tv and that is fine too.

depends on the genre of the game. one of my more frequently played games runs at 20fps

but if I play like some twitchy FPS or something I'd definitely want higher. makes a noticeable difference in how well I play

Yes if it has good frame pacing, smooth animations and responsive timings with inputs and minimal input lag and stutters.

Along with excellent graphics for the hardware is running on. So if it's a PS5 game it has to be running at 4K with awe inspiring great graphics all around

Depends on the game.

Turn-based RPG? Couldn't really give a damn about the FPS. Story-driven game? Same deal, usually.

Action game or online comp? Max FPS all the time.

I used to play CS:S at 120fps but most games seemed fine at 60 or 30fps. Mainly because even at each of those frame rates everything looked smooth. No choppy/texture issues.

But playing Dying Light 2 online or GTAO on XBone can really make me slow down a bit and let the console catch up.

Edit: I thought a few games ran perfect at 80fps on my old PC. Like Doom,FEAR,Crisis and Far Cry. Like they were meant to be benchmarked. WoW ran best at a locked 60fps though still.

It baffles me how so many people think frame rate is a matter of sight. Its a matter of feel. Low frame rates feel choppy, like you move and theres lag between when you press buttons or move the mouse and it actually happens.

Probably. I mean, I grew up with the nes and later had an n64. Those consoles had tons of slowdown and screen flickering but I didn't mind at all.

For retro games its not a big deal, but more modern games below 60 are a problem. I answered incorrectly though because I didnt read your exception for shooters, so my 60 is too low vote should be a not really.

I can tolerate 30 if it's consistent, but it's miles away from a good experience. There's absolutely no reason 60fps shouldn't be an option and I'm happy that consoles are finally embracing it as an option.
