60 FPS is not required in at least 90% of games that are released. Anyone who says otherwise is an elitist and I bet my house on the fact that I could fool him with any game that runs perfectly locked at 30fps and a 60fps game

Fool somebody into thinking the game runs at 60fps? lol, certainly not me, in Bayonetta 2 I can recognize the shift in a split second, it's night and day.

Only elitists notice the difference brah.

Lol, people still say this? Did people not see the difference in the Hobbit movies (24 vs. 48 FPS)? I seem to remember many people talking about the difference, most of them "casuals"

Night and day: games and movies are entirely different experiences.

Also, you see it because it was brought to your attention. If you play them side by side, its noticable, otherwise you do not see the difference. Its basic science. You will feel the difference in response time, but even those in the rare cases when there is a fast paced competitive game. Otherwise the "need" for 60 FPS is BS. Simple as that...
