Yea after you get used 60fps going back to 30 is difficult. I don't know if anyone remembers playing Gran turismo on playstation, there was a unlockable  60fps mode to my eyes the 60fps mode was mind blowing. It was like going from 480p to 1080, it was such a massive difference as kid. 

I always thought it was 60fps already, I guess 30fps never bothered me. 1080i mode in GT4, that I did find very cool.

GT7 now has a 120fps mode, yet the couple pro racers I know are sticking to 60fps for better visual clarity. fps isn't everything and a lot of games are about planning ahead, which means being able to see clearly further ahead is a must.

I guess I never got used to 60fps and higher as it still feels weird to me (outside VR and side scrollers). I prefer 3D screen games at 30 fps, prioritizing draw distance and image stability.

I got a ps5 recently and been playing God of war ragnarok.i chose performance mode because the graphical difference is not noticeable but the fps difference is huge and it's locked 60fps. If it wasn't locked 60fps I would have picked 30fps. For me an open world game doesn't need 60fps. Games like racing, sports, fps, fighting games, esport type games then 60fps is a must.

In action games 60fps is a must. GOW is much better at 60fps. 30fps feels janky imo.

For games that require responsive/twitch movement like Call of Duty or Mario Kart. - 60fps.

Story driven set-pieces where the game is more cinematic rather than action based like Skyrim or Zelda. - 30fps with the best visuals, you just spend longer taking the assets in, so you want them to be the best they can be.

Starfield just confirmed it's 30fps only https://www.eurogamer.net/starfield-locked-to-30fps-on-console-bethesda-confirms
Not a deal breaker for me as I would play it in 30fps anyway, but (some) developers are definitely not in the 60fps camp.
Will GTA6 be 60fps?

what about games like  GOW or dark souls type games? where the combat is a heavy focus. The last one is starfield  does 30fps bother you in that game?

it's disappointing cause the FPS combat looked really good but at 30fps is just gonna feel bad for anyone into that genre cause every FPS is now 60fps.

Why do we have 2 threads about the same topic?

I didn't know your topic was about a massive poll showing ps5 users vastly prefer 60fps over graphics. all you did was ask members here what they preferred. this is a different topic then yours, so time to move on. I wanted to share the poll results with the community, i could not do that in your thread.

You will win that mental gymnastics gold someday.
