How important is 60fps to you?

60 fps is a luxury, if you can have it great, 30 fps is playable and sometimes that is all you have, it's amazing how the brain compensates with exposure, if all you played was 60 then 30 would feel difficult, if all you played was 30 then you are good

And if all you had to play was Pong, it'd be the greatest game ever. But 60fps and above does exist and I don't consider ignorance a blessing.

It's not the end of the world, but for any game on modern systems to not aim for 60fps by default, it better be damn near exceptional in every other facet (excluding Nintendo Switch).

I've always thought that when they say ignorance is bliss, the converse to that is that knowledge is hell. The more you know, the bleaker things can get, I guess 30 fps is bleak to you now, it can be a viscous feedback system, the more you get the more you need, no escape from that mindset, it has it's own ecosystem
