Have you ever played on a 240 / 280 / 360 Hz Display? Or played an esports title where low frametimes/ input delay are important? The difference in how fluid and responsive a game feels is massive between 120 and 240+ fps.
Movies are able to get away with 24 fps because cameras have a natural motion blur. Games don’t have that natural motion blur so you are left with terrible input lag from 30fps and stutters performance of 30fps.
I have never had a game look more cinematic from 30fps and not 60 or 120.
I don’t disagree but I can prefer 30 fps right? I never said 30 fps is objectively better, it’s just a preference. I’m not trying to be a contrarian, I’m just surprised it’s so controversial to have this opinion.
I might be alone in preferring 30 fps for most games
Why?
Looks more “cinematic” to me, if that makes sense.
30fps may be fine for a game like Red Dead Redemption, but a racing game @30fps is universally bad
Mario kart 64 would beg to differ! /s
30 isn’t bad, but higher is generally better. There are diminishing returns after 120 though, and I don’t think anyone could actually use 240fps.

120 -> 240 isn’t nearly as massive as 10 -> 20. That’s why it’s diminishing returns, each frame is less improvement as the numbers get higher.
I think they were commenting on your wild “I don’t think anyone could actually use 240fps” statement, not what you said about diminishing returns.
So you haven’t. Got it.
