TotalBiscuit is really starting to go over board with the whole 60fps thing lately. Sure 60fps is nice to have especially in certain genres of games like fps or fighting games but is it really necessary for games like VVVVV, Anodyne or Jet Set radio?

While I agree with you that 30FPS on a game like Anodyne isn't going to matter at all to me, it could come off as biased if he selectively excluded games, and if some users bought a game that he excluded and it actually was important to them, they may lose faith in his consistency. Better to go all or nothing as much as possible, because really, you can't be too educated about your purchases.

That's a really good point. Not only will it stop accusations of bias, but it'll simplify things from his end if he just lists everything rather than pick and choose which ones to list. The consumers themselves can decide if 30 FPS matters to them in a game like VVVVVV.

Sorry, I paid good money for this machine and I expect games to use it.

But for sprite based games like Anodyne it would increase the work load by a huge amount for no benefit aside from smoother animations that in most games like Anodyne it has no effect on the game play.

I think it is only overboard for some people. I for one, used to be in the same boat, and thought "what's the big deal? 30fps is fine for a lot of stuff as long as it's super stable." Then I started watching 1080p60 on youtube and actually noticed the difference; specifically, I was watching a game stream that had traditionally been 1080p but not 60fps, and right after the update, I noticed an immediate difference (and I didn't know about the update, I just sort of thought "wow, this seems a lot smoother then normal. did this streamer get a new pc? was there some update on my pc to enable this?" little digging, some quick toggling, and low and behold it's this new fangled 60fps option). So to me, even if I can get by with 30fps (after all, I have been for quite some time), I really notice and appreciate the ability of 60fps, and higher. And so really, for me, it's not overboard, it's a selling point (or a con, in this case of these games listed) for me, and I appreciate the fact that this list was made and is maintained.

Just my 2cents.

I'm honestly surprised a list like this one hadn't been made yet.

I think its more as, this info should be known so the consumer can make a better choice. Some people (like me) don't really give a hoot whether a game is 30 or 60 fps, my laptop is a toaster.
