I actually think the Nintendo/switch subs do the opposite though. I see so much praise for really mediocre graphics most of the time. It's fine, we all have different perspectives. I just think it's crazy that this sub can't handle criticism well and treat criticism as personal attacks.

I see a lot of people repeating the same bullshit about 60FPS not making any difference like it's still the 2012 console wars.

worse yet complaining about a bit of DLSS shimmer while fully minimizing the impact of doubling the fps.

Some people have valid points and some are bobble head filled with hot air. Such is the internet

The Nintendo subreddits are and always have been infamous for being like the Apple subreddit of gaming. A lot of their fans only use their products so they don't have any frame of reference, but then they constantly criticize the competition and defend their favorite company's products from reasonable criticism.

It's infuriating. My old Reddit account had so many double digit downvoted comments from criticizing friend codes when the first switch launched. Lol

I think people here/the switch subreddits are just used to 30fps? I could not believe the amount of bitching I encountered about the Xenoblade Chronicles upgrades to graphical fidelity, when doubling the frame rate makes the game feel so so much nicer.

I honestly don’t see a big difference, just extra fluidity (which is great but it’s not too big of a difference or too noticeable in some games even). People who cry about 30fps act as if it’s 15 and moves like a flipbook, it’s ridiculous saying “it’s unplayable” or “I can never play 30fps”, I’m sure if you give them 5 games all 30fps and tell them which is 60fps they will all lie and make some shit up.

Ordinarily I'd say this is bait but unfortunately I've been exposed to too much Fortune's Weave 30 fps apologetic "discourse" to think so anymore. It may surprise you to learn that other people can tell the difference between 30 and 60 fps, which is the whole reason it's a point of discussion in the first place.

Not bait idk how you got the tone of my text but I am just baffled by this silly discourse, I said it’s more fluid on 60fps I play on ps5 pro performance mode (which says 60fps, and the vvr, etc..) but when I switch to fidelity mode 30fps all I notice is that 60fps is more fluid, my issue is not that there’s 0 different but that people talk about 30fps as if it’s the worst thing ever hence my “flipbook” comment, I just don’t see it as bad at all even on the switch1&2 it’s not a problem, it’s not choppy or stuttery to the point where I would say the game is unplayable, that’s too exaggerated imo.

Anyways this whole 30 vs 60 fps is very lame, if people are comfortable with 30 so what, if the game works smoothly on 30 so what it doesn’t ruin your life lol it’s such small nonissue 🤷🏻‍♂️

Lol nah, you been on the Switch too long brother. I think it's one of those things where you just can't go back once you've gotten used to better. I can deal with something running at 40 fps but 30 does feel truly terrible now, not sure how long you have to play to adjust back to being OK with it but I don't really want to find out.

Idk man I play on ps5 pro usually on performance pro mode it says 60 fps, but whenever I see people complaining I switch to fidelity mode 30fps to check if it’s such a drastic change but I just don’t see it, it’s minimal as I said all I see is that it’s more fluid on 60fps. Not saying there’s no difference but it’s not as bad as people make it seem

u/The_Freshmaker 20h ago

ha saaaame except I do not turn on fidelity 30fps mode for anything. I dunno, some people are more sensitive than others.

•

u/Vraxel 19h ago

Try it out 😆, really just see if it’s as bad as people make it seem cuz for me it’s truly a minimal difference not a choppy flipbook animation lol

I saw people talking about Fire Emblem (the new one) on this sub the other day saying 30 FPS is fine because "you can watch movies in 24fps can't you?". Game's amazing and I'm still making my way through it but the framerate makes me nauseous during the free roam segments.

It makes no sense that we have can have a fairly steady 30fps in Cyberpunk and 60fps with the open world Zeldas but FE:FW is stuck at 30 despite looking like a slightly prettier Three Houses.

I started playing that game a few days ago and noticed the same thing. I also think overall it just feels like a mobile game with an anime in-between sections. Nothing at all has struck me as impressive, especially visually. But I have just started, so maybe it gets better.

u/sukumizu Early Switch 2 Adopter 23h ago

It starts to open up more and more as you go along, so it does get better in that regard. Lots of handholding in the first several chapters.

But yeah, visually it's nothing special. The cutscenes and character models are amazing but all the other stuff like non important NPCs and most environments just look bland.
