Sooo... about those FPS on consoles...

I've been playing games on consoles since pretty much forever and I have never really had any major gripes about them. I was fine with the fact that the majority of consoles games are locked at 30 FPS. Now that I bought a gaming PC, I can't imagine going back to 30 FPS. I was playing Metro on max settings and my frame rate was dipping down to a minimum of 30 FPS from 70 FPS and that was disappointing to see. To think, that used to be the norm for me. No more!

I love playing shooters on consoles.

Rather have solid 30 frames than a fluctuating framerate.

You're implying fps on consoles is always stable? Plus you can lock fps on PC games.

Yep. Console FPSes just feel so slow and clunky compared to PC. Mostly because of the controller, but visually and performance wise, we're way ahead. I don't know how anyone can play BF3 or CoD with a controller.

Of course the majority have a stable framerate but there are cases when there are issues with the stability of fps though and that's the point.I know everyone is saying how they enjoy the game anyway but it's a bit irritating when the framerate suddenly drops because of an explosion or too many npcs in the screen. Nothing gamebreaking but irritating nonetheless.

Lol! Damage control from consolites, what a surprise.

What else are they going to say? Are they going to admit that 30 FPS in First Person Shooters sucks?

Surviving 15 FPS is no problem when that's all you know.

Lol at all of the "I'd rather 30 FPS than fluctuating FPS" comments. I said the FPS dip in Metro 2033, one of the hardest to run games ever. Any other game, I maintain above 60 FPS and it's silky smooth. Consoles run at 30 FPS and can dip down close to 20 when under stress which looks awful.

How about this, you guys can enjoy your good games at 30 FPS, and I'll enjoy my good games at over double that? The difference between the 2 is vast.

Same here but then i connected the slow ass (camera movement speed) controller and it was perfectly fine. 60fps is needed for pc cuz sensitivity is much faster but for consoles 30 is okay. Hate having 30 on pc. btw my ass you get a minimum of 30fps with a 7950 :P i'm sure i goes lower on Metrosilversix_

who gives a f***, i can enjoy games at 30 fps or 60 fps, who cares

Once you've played FPS at 60FPS it is painful to go back to 30FPS. Games are playable at 30FPS, but the gameplay especially in real time combat games such as FPS is always considerably improved when it is 60FPS. Standards are just a lot higher on the PC.

Well the point is that the gameplay in real time combat games is substantially improved with 60FPS. I think that's the point. Not to say you can't enjoy games at 30FPS, they are just better at 60FPS.

Someone's jealous they don't own a PS3. :)ispeakfact

[QUOTE="freedomfreak"][QUOTE="jcbullen"] Well, some people care. I can't stand playing a stuttery game and that happens way too often in consoles. I'd rather have worse graphics and a better frame rate any day. If the hardware can't handle it well, then they should scale it down a bit to obtain smoothness. jcbullen

I've been playing PC games and console games forever, and never once has the 30 fps limit on most console FPSs bother me. Sure it can be a bit jarring from going from Quake 3 or CSS to Halo, but that never ruined my fun.

I think if you've gotten to the point where 30 fps ruins fun for you, you need to take a serious look at your attitude towards gaming.

I play pc and console fps and i must not know what to look for cause they all are pretty much the same to me. SURE some pc games run really fast but so what? is that fps? or what? Ive never had issues..AND while playing some twitch shooters on console you can also speed up the gameplay to hyperseed and its crazy fun..keep in mind that I like games, and movies that losts of the so called "experienced people" dont..I never look to deep or read to much into things..I either enjoy or dont..

I dont think I have played a single FPS on consoles that can even maintain a steady 30fps.

I sometimes feel like hermits just started gaming this gen. How in the world did you guys ever survive in the days of DX9 and past?

Enjoy your PC though and make the most of it. Don't spoil yourself too much though and close your mindas there are a number of good games on consoles as well.

While a good framerate is always important and I almost need 60 FPS constantly, 30 FPS on console doesnt seem too bad, because you are not whiping around (in First Person Shooters) as fast and often as you are on PC. which brings me to my point that PC not only wins in Framerates, but more importantly, in controls. It is SO hard to enjoy an FPS on console because of dual analog.
