Not buying until Bethesda completes the optimization and this goes under sale.

""The team has worked the last four years perfecting the game experience with these settings in mind," the FAQ said."

Well, "The Team" made a terrible, terrible mistake and whoever greenlighted that choice needs to be fired and told to go scrub toilets at a local truckstop.

Sorry Bethesda, you are still in the doghouse for making stupid decisions. No money for you. Bad Bethesda!

I didn't just buy a 144hz monitor to play at 60fps!

Please tell me where you believe over 60fps is better, because it's not. Your eyes only work at most 30fps. You'd never tell the difference, if someone didn't tell you what's going on to begin with. Even if your panel refreshes at more than 60Hz you'd still not be able to tell!

You'd feel the input lag difference and yes you can easily tell a difference that's why emulators don't always run smoothly and are choppy you can watch a frame rate counter as it dips down below 60FPS toward 30 it gets more choppy.

your eyes dont work in frames at all. Most people can tell the difference between 30, 60 and 100fps. this 25-30fps thing has come from films, it is the rate at which your brain no longer perceives the images as separate, but combines them into motion. It doesn't mean you cant see more than 30fps. I would agree that 60fps is enough for most people, and is what the majority of gamers probably aim for.

60 fps has been around since 3d games first started coming out. Bethesda's half-assed excuse is a real slap in the face to PC gamers. Now it's a feature to be able to go 60 fps?

These new games shouldn't be called next gen. If anything they are taking steps back to the 90s with this crap.

 

[Antimatter79]

What about those of us who already bought the game and activated it on Steam? I don't see how I'm supposed to get a free copy of Call of Cthulhu, which is already on my wishlist. What about the PS3 version my wife got? Does she get anything? What is with people telling everyone they can't tell the difference between 30, 60, and 100 fps? If you have that issue, own it alone; don't tell everyone else they can't see what is totally obvious to the them. What I was really pleased to see is that now YouTube supports 60fps videos; I've seen it and it's very refreshing, so to speak.

Lol-wut? The graphics are MUCH better than 1990 era, so that is definitely not true. At most, they are taking a step back from the 60 fps standard, which makes sense for games that are not uber-fast high action games.
Diablo 3 plays at 30fps just as 'smooth' as at 60 fps on my machine. If I limit FPS to 30, I am also able to up shadows which makes things a little more immersive.

 

[d_kuhn]

Some people can play 30fps games and not have any issues. Some people see flicker at 60fps and need even more - there is no one size fits all. The 30fps standard is a throwback to the tube TV days and has to do with phosphor persistence - the 'pixels' stayed on long enough and the human eye would glue one refresh together to the next giving a smooth continuous effect. There are things Bethesda could do to make the game play better at 30hz (which is certainly what they were referencing) but it's also likely why reviewers were complaining about lethargic control - one of the tricks is to avoid fast motion.

Wow, I don't even know where to begin. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Next time you have access to a monitor running at 100, 120, or 144 Hz, please visit this site: http://www.testufo.com/

On my 144 Hz monitor, I can clearly see a difference even between the 72 fps and 144 fps test. Yes, 72 fps has smooth motion, but if you are trying to see detail or text on something in motion, it's MUCH less blurred at 144 fps. But as to your point, comparing either of those to 36 fps is a complete and utter joke.

I don't like the idea of 30 FPS, but, if you think about it, they can stick a scary monster in sooner and make it a tad bit scarier going with a lower FPS.

 

[Kei Kurono Gantz]

i think i can tell the difference between 60fps and 30fps while playing a game with my adrenalin rush, it feels like im inside the game

lol. can't see more than 30 fps? dumbest comment i've ever seen lol.

 

[Christopher Sellard]

lol. u said u the brain can't see more than 30 fps. dumbest thing i've read all day..

 

[ubercake]

When even the critics are calling you out like that, you need to revisit the way you do games.

 

[redgarl]

Seriously guys, I am surprised that so many are complaining about it when a simple console command can be input to unlock the FPS. As a PC gamer you should know there is always a way to come around with anything a developper is going to tell you.

I am playing at 4k so for me I am looking for 60FPS. I already beat it and it is an awesome game. Critics should stop getting paid by big companies to tell them what to say.

 

[ubercake]

Wouldn't they say nicer things if the big company was paying them? Usually, AAA titles on metacritic start high because the primary game review companies give their paid review of the game giving it a higher score upon release and then actual gamers' reviews will tend to drop that number over time.

Maybe there were no Bethesda Bucks going to the reviewers this time around?
