| hunter_alien said: 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  That said, for some genres its still a must: pixel perfect shooters, brawlers and some platformers. Every other genre can be perfectly played at 30 fps. |
"Required" is a subjective word in that context. No one says that it is technically required to play the game but that you have standards that are above of what's delivered. There is nothing wrong with having standards.
And the "elitists" as you like to call them will tell you the difference between 30 and 60 fps any time of the day. If you played your life long on 60fps you will immediately notice the drop as it is just that jarring. And if not for the smoothness then for the sudden doubling of the input lag. Do you think I am fiddling with the graphics options for fun just to get to a stable 60fps at the start of every new game?
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
