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.

Expecting a good performance out of your games is being elitist. Got it. 

 

No, but pissing over a product, just because you have your subjective values, is. Most people do not prefer 60 fps over 30, they simply find it "unplayable", or at least thats what Im getting from forums these days.

30 FPS is a perfect performance for most games, like it or not, 60 is unnecesary in most cases.

I get what you're saying but you're kinda going overboard. People aren't saying 60FPS is necessary, it's just that it's much better than 30FPS

Totally agree with you on the overboard thingy I just want to voice the anti 60FPS campaign a bit, seeing that in the last couple of days I had 3 different discussions about why 60fps is a must, and I have seen way to many supporters of this idea
