I agree completely. 60fps isn't worth what it costs in terms of machine resources. Every game I've played at 30fps is perfectly enjoyable and I've never, ever thought, "I wish this were 60fps." It wouldn't bother me one bit if rock solid 30fps became the industry standard.

so u never played a fast fps or racing game?

No one is saying 60 fps doesn't have a place.  It most certainly does in games like arcade racers, Twitch FPS games like COD, or games like Tekken, Streetfighter etc.  But in other genres the 30/60 debate doesn't carry even remotely the same weight.  When I think back to the best games I liked during the last generation, not one of them did I think it needed a bump in framerate (OK, maybe Blighttown on Dark Souls).  But games like GTAV, Mass Effect Series, Red Dead, Batman, Fallout, Skyrim, Bioshock all played brilliantly and none of them suffered from only hovering around the 30fps mark did they?
