- marcus_holmes 3y agoI started PC gaming back in the 90's. <30 fps is perfectly playable, depending on the game. Some strategy and RP games are slideshows and play fine.
- Cthulhu_ 3y agoIt was for me as well, like, I was happy to be able to play Morrowind at ~15 fps at the time. But we can do better now; at the time, hardware was a limiting factor, but now if a game runs like shit, it's always the developer's fault. Recent example, Cities Skylines 2; onereason it runs like shit is that the pedestrians still get fully rendered teeth even though you're far away and can't see them. Why do they even have teeth? It's a city building sim. Or the latest Pokemon game, it looks like it could've been made 20 years ago in terms of visuals, but it runs terribly.
- n8cpdx 3y agoSome say that less than 120fps is literally unplayable. I remember when CoD 4 being 60fps on Xbox 360 was a big deal. Virtually unplayable is in the eye of the beholder.
- dawnerd 3y agoThose people are ridiculous. You can have high fps but inconsistent frame timing which makes games feel terrible. I think that was the bigger issue with cod.
