    I’m getting kinda tired of the slideshow snobs, telling everyone how 30 FPS is enough. The games are supposed to be fun, and not cause nausea. I’m willing to compromise on the former, but not the latter.

        Some people easily get motion sickness and it can be aggravated by many factors, including low and/or irregular framerates.

        I’d be interested to know if people complaining about motion sickness at low fps have that issue with all games, or only FPS/TPS. And if they have the same issue with “first person” segments in movies (which are pretty damn rare in the first place, and basically always at a very consistent but low framerate)

            You must know you are being purposely disagreeable, right? If not, I would love a clear explanation on how you think that is comparable. Educate me.

              Sorry, figured it was an obvious joke, but sometimes that doesn’t come across well in text form.

              But to look at it at a different angle, GTA 5 on the Xbox 360 and the PS3 sold millions, and typically ran at mid 20s FPS, same as a TV. I don’t recall there being an issue or outcry of it causing motion sickness, and yet with million in sales, it would have been played by enough people.

              Why didn’t this have such issues claimed? Or was there reports and claims it caused issues that I missed?

      I’m not a snob. I’ve just never had a PC good enough to run most games at 60 fps. I’ve just never acoustumed to this level of confort 😛
