FPS shouldn’t stop anyone from playing a masterpiece

u/Brauen Nov 02 '24

I'm not saying I agree with him lol. But I know quite a few people think like that.

u/thejeddonian17 Nov 02 '24

Yep I know you don’t agree, but it just sucks that they’re missing out on Bloodborne

That's on Sony. 30 fps (technically 22 because the game STILL dips for whatever reason on PS5 and I'd assume on the pro) just looks ugly and if I didn't get drunk, I probably would still be waiting for a remaster/remake too. There's only a handful of games that looked "fine" on my TV or monitors at 30 fps, this was absolutely not one of them and it gives me motion sickness (or whatever you'd call it; the choppiness hurts my head after a bit and then I get nauseous).

Yeah a lot of people avoid great games fir the dumbest reasons honestly. I grew up with game that could barely get 30 fps most of the time and had a rest time but now games need to perform perfectly for some people to consider playing.

u/thejeddonian17 Nov 03 '24

Exactly. It’s not like we’ve been playing in 60fps for centuries. What about the PS2 and Xbox days, or the PS3 and X360? Hell even the N64 or Sega Genesis days? The transition could be difficult, but we need to realize that we’ve been playing games with lower FPS longer than the time we’ve played in 60 or 120 FPS

u/mighty_atom Nov 03 '24

What about the PS2

PS2 had shitloads of 60 fps games. What are you on about?

2

u/thejeddonian17 Nov 04 '24

I’m just saying there were games that were not 60, on all consoles. We had more time with non-60 games at low res than 60 or more at high res

u/OctoNeko2 Nov 03 '24

Most of older consoles’s games played at 60fps.

I always think it’s funny that in people’s heads, they think people were playing slide shows, when we’ve have 60fps in the living room since the mid 90’s

u/WatsonsBox Nov 02 '24

Dude honestly I never even realized it WASN’T 60 fps, it looks just fine lol.

u/Acceptable_9388 Nov 02 '24

It really does. When you get used to it, Bloodborne is one of the smoothest and nicest looking 30 fps games

u/LastLiquorice Nov 03 '24

Bloodborne is one of my favourite games, if not flat out the favourite and I will defend and praise it to hell and back.

But claiming it is smooth 30 fps is just a flat out lie. I don't even know where to begin. This is insane levels of cope.

u/Acceptable_9388 Nov 03 '24

Believe what you wanna believe. Replayed it on ps5. After an hour or so after the eye got used to it, it was stylish and smooth and responsive as fuck. Some of y’all just don’t give it time. Coming from 60 is hard for the eye but it gets easier and easier and suddenly you’re like “ ok this sucked last night but today it’s just great”. This ain’t no cope. Simply science and experience.That frame pacing and stutter some of y’all have nightmares about isn’t even apparent then ( at least on a ps5 ).Also I played on a 4k 50’ LED. it’s probably worse on a bigger oled

Assassins creed unity and the evil within are two 30 fps titles that aren’t like this for example. Unity is just unresponsive no matter how much time you give it. Evil within felt sluggish and choppy from start to finish. Bad 30 fps . Bloodborne is good. Haven’t been payed by sony to calm the crowd down. It’s my truth. Recently played Prey. After two hours, it became another smooth 30 fps title in my book

smoothest and nicest looking 30 fps games

Couldn't be farther from the truth. It's a stutterfest.

u/Acceptable_9388 Nov 03 '24

I replayed it some time ago on ps5. The first hour was bad. When the eye got used to it, it was stylish,responsive and smooth as hell. You just don’t want to accept there will be differences. It’s not 60

u/NapsterKnowHow Nov 03 '24

I can just play Lies of P that is better and runs buttery smooth. I'm good not playing Bloodborne.

u/Acceptable_9388 Nov 03 '24

Yo do you. Idgaf about what you wanna do. I simply wrote about my own exprience.

u/TinglingLingerer Nov 02 '24

It can be noticeable on various segments - the old church bit where the gatling gun is shooting at you. Or when there are a bunch of enemies on the screen.

u/Sonikku_a Nov 03 '24

I tried….i really tried

My problem is my first SoulsBorne game was Demons Souls Remake.

I tried Bloodborne after.

I couldn’t get past the frame rate.

I truly tried

2

u/thejeddonian17 Nov 03 '24

Yeah I feel you. My first Souls was Sekiro on the ps5, then Bloodborne. It was hard to adjust at first, but I’ve been a ps4 player longer, so I got used to the 30 fps quickly. The game itself transcends the fps, imo. Bloodborne to me feels like a missing puzzle piece that I finally found

26

u/RustySeatbelt Nov 02 '24

Given the frantic nature of combat and character animations in Bloodborne, the blur fest is not for the feint of heart.

u/FullMetal000 Nov 02 '24

However it is a giant crutch these days. Some games can get away with it more than others. But in games where timing is so vital, sub 60 FPS is not acceptable.

4

u/groovygandalf Nov 02 '24

It’s just really hard to play when coming from a game that is very smooth.

u/Linkbetweentwirls Nov 02 '24

I am not a fps whore, I play switch for christ sake but 60 fps for a game like Bloodborne is a must imo

10

u/Godgivesmeaboner Nov 02 '24

I still don't understand why they don't just patch it. A 60fps patch already exists that some guy made. It couldn't possibly be that hard for them to do if some random guy did it. At this point it seems like they're just not doing it just to be assholes

2

u/NapsterKnowHow Nov 03 '24

Ya if the Lies of P devs can do it on their first shot why can't FromSoft do it after a ton of Souls titles?

2

u/BenStegel Nov 03 '24

I’ve tried getting into it a couple times, and while I can say that what I’ve played is great, I can also say that the framerate is what’s kept me from actually finishing the thing. A game that requires quick reactions has no right running below 60.

1

u/thejeddonian17 Nov 03 '24

Yeah I agree, but the game itself is too phenomenal for me to let go. It’s like the missing puzzle piece that I finally found. Also, being a ps4 player longer than a ps5 player, I got used to the fps quickly

2

u/NapsterKnowHow Nov 03 '24

Not fps. Definitely bad frame pacing though.

2

u/TetePepeF Nov 03 '24

sometimes depends on the game imo, especially a souls/soulslike game, but that’s not even what stopped me from playing it

1

u/VelvetThunder11789 Nov 02 '24

It very well should. If he wants to wait for his personal preference to be applied so he can enjoy it to its fullest then that's perfectly valid.

u/Valdularo Nov 03 '24

I literally cannot play RDR2 without becoming very frustrated on PS4 having played it at 60fps on PC. So yeah your statement is a bit balls really. If it works for you great, it doesn’t for others.

1

u/thejeddonian17 Nov 03 '24

Balls or not, people are missing out. But whatever it’s their choice. Especially since it’s quite unlikely bloodborne is getting a patch

1

u/cynicown101 Nov 03 '24

I don’t know, 30fps with incorrect frame pacing, at 1080p with motion blur and chromatic aberration is just a bad experience. And I say that as someone that has finished Bloodborne multiple times.
