I'v really screwed myself by turning to PC gaming

Post » Mon May 06, 2013 7:34 pm

Every game I play on PC is a solid smooth and fluid 60fps - even if that means lowering the graphical settings - and I have done it long enough now that I expect 60fps in almost every game i play, now how ever I have started playing on console a bit more because of a change of circumstances in my life and its just so difficult getting into anything because of the 30 or less frame rate.

An example, I have started playing both Skyrim and GTA IV on my 360 - where previously I played these titles on PC - and I had them running at a solid 60fps and even had mods installed in some cases to make it look better, and now on console its difficult to enjoy them with the slow and sluggish camera movement and the less then steller frame rate.

Now I understand that if you have not spoiled yourself with a nice PC to play these titles on, then the frame rate is not an issue and you don't even notice it, however if you have as in my case, you notice it and it really detracts from the experience and I struggle getting into them like I did on my PC.

Any tips on this frame rate mind set of mine, and maybe tips on how to get use to it again? I really want to get use to it again so that I can play GTA V when it comes out later this year, which is why I have started playing GTA IV again to get use to the frame rate.

Thanks for reading guys!

But if you already run the games smooth on PC, then why would you run them on a console?

If Rockstar pulls another Red Dead Redemption on us with GTA V, I'll burn their studio down.

You'll just have to get used to it again, I guess. It really disgusts me that 30 fps is the accepted standard on console, but it's just something you have to learn to deal with. Either that, or you could just intentionally seek out games that run at a higher FPS, like Bayonetta and Devil May Cry 4.
