I was just playing Super Mario Galaxy, and the framerate dropped to 30 during some starry explosions. I feel pretty jarred by the whole thing. I think I'm gonna be sick.

Go on. Discuss this gaming travesty. I will be heading to the restroom until I feel better.

 

LOL!  You noticed that too?  I figured I was the only that saw the framerate dip when a lot of explosions go off.  The only thing is framerate dips for a FPS is a much more serious problem as it can lead to death, while the dip for SMG is typically when you're doing that bomb the trash minigame or while you're flying through the air so it's not getting in the way of gameplay.

Yeah.  20 fps.  My god.  Heaven forbid the framerate on a high-end shooter drop to that during some serious explosions when all your targets are being killed by explosions or a torrent of gunfire.  That's almost like being forced to barf while watching big screen movies at 24 fps.  How can the masses stand it?  

Clearly no good shooter has ever had a framerate dip to 20 before during an intense moment.  This site should capture someone playing through the entire single-player campaign of KZ2 and see if they can count the number of dips to 20 on one hand, or is it two?  If its two hands, I say we raise those hands up and make some noise!

I hope they have a pen and paper handy, so they don't lose track, during the hours between dips.
