There, I highlighted some key points of my post so you can evaluate if your response made any sense. 

30fps with no performance mode is disappointing these days even if it was understandable & expected in this case. You still hope there would be a performance mode. 

Yes Starfield's reception has been good overall and for a reason. Comparison to Infinite seems unnecessary and odd.

For some games it's not so simple as just dialing down a few graphics settings to reach 60fps in performance mode. I imagine it's already tough enough for them to reach a stable 30fps in this case, and there's no doubt going to be several areas and scenarios in the game that will drop that down.

Thinking that all games need to reach certain benchmarks and designed a certain way to be enjoyable, you're just narrowing your perspective. It has nothing to do with the hardware's architecture or capability but with the developer's own design choices. 343 since Halo 5 felt their vision of the Halo experience required the game to run at high framerates to be more enjoyable. Bethesda when making their mainline RPGs, have always pitched an expansive in-game universe with lots of unique environments and interactive assets, along with seemless traversal within that world, which makes it very difficult to optimise hardware performance.

This is getting tiresome. For the umpteenth time, 30fps is understandable in this case.

I never said games have to reach certain benchmarks and be designed a certain way to be enjoyable, did I? 30fps makes gaming LESS enjoyable.

It's only natural that with more powerful hardware gamers expect better performance and graphics. Sub-720p probably wouldn't cut it anymore either no matter how interactive assets either, it would make gaming less enjoyable. Just like 30fps only for many as we've been gaming 60fps for a while now.

I'm hoping they'll find a way to add a performance mode later. It was supposed to be tricky for Plague Tale too with all those rats on screen but it did happen.
