I'm sorry but as PC gamer you should have known 30% boost to Jaguar CPU wasn't NEARLY enough for 60 fps gaming in DEMANDING open world game like this. Seems like a waste of money and you would be fine with normal PS4.

PS4 Pro is basically resolution + graphics boost for 95% of the time.

Of course I know it but you can always hope that one day developers will wise up. The increase in CPU power doesn't have to double to entice developers to go 60fps. You can do any game in 60fps if you compromise on other things. So a game running at 45fps before could've been easily pushed to 60 instead of being locked to 30.

My investment in the Pro was fine. It had way less stutter on FFXV on Pro than the original PS4. I spend over a hundred hours with that game so I already got my money's worth.


See the problem here is that you're arguing that any game running at 60 fps is objectively better than that same game with better visuals running at 30 fps. But that's not the case. The vast majority of people who buy console games could not give a fuck about the frame rate as long as its stable, which means they'll choose better visuals over frame rate pretty much every time because they're more likely to notice it. Which means while it may be technically possible to do things like offer a 60fps mode on all games, and offer things like keyboard and mouse support (many PS3 games did, after all), the time, money and effort to develop these features doesn't actually translate to an increase in game sales to justify that effort. Besides. most of the people that complain about such things, like yourself, will moan and complain, and go out and buy the game anyways! Don't believe me?



You're in a minisculely small minority, and frankly no one really cares that you don't like it.  What are the developers supposed to wise up to? They're already onto you, and they know people like you are too weak willed to actually stand up to their convictions. The fact that you own a PS4 Pro, and FFXV considering all the flaws that game has, and continues to have gives me the feeling that you have this game pre-ordered already.

Edit: You're getting a Switch? I think that speaks volumes for how you actually vote with your dollar due to hardware limitations holding games back visually.
