| Qwark said: Actually it isn't all that important really. If you ask this site which games are the best 8th gen games. Popular answers would be bloodborne, horizon, uncharted 4, zelda botw, witchery 3 etc. You know what all those games have in common besides a high meta they all run in 30fps. |
It IS important. Bloodbornes biggest issue wasn't load times, it was frame rate. Having to play Horizon as it occasionally dips was annoying. I couldn't even enjoy The Witcher 3 until I played it on PC - and this was BEFORE I was part of the "PC master race", so I didn't have a basis to go on how much better it would feel with a higher fps. BOTW has multiple areas that make it go down to 20fps. I haven't played enough of Uncharted 4, but the point is frame rate absolutely did affect all of those games. But you're a console player so you wouldn't think that ...
Frame rate just doesn't affect games enough to end circle jerks. For instance one of my favorite games of all time is Dark Souls on the 360. Now do I wish it ran at 60fps? Yes. Does it not running at that frame rate matter enough to make it significantly worse? In that games case, not really. That doesn't mean it isn't important or that it doesn't affect my enjoyment.
