Exactly. The closest thing I can think of was the Mantis boss fight in MGS1 with the "Hideo" screen thing. That shit was cool back in the day.
Arkham Asylum and Saints Row 4 had fake game fuck ups

By "in general", I mean "always a thing through the entire game", especially an MMO. It might be cool at first, but it would get annoying pretty fast; that's why you'd have to limit the period in which it happens.
I don't think so.

Well MMOs typically aren't as artistic as a single-player game, for example, where they could utilise that FPS.

I think a game that's essentially a slideshow of <15FPS or less could be cool as a tactics game, where you have to plan out your moves ahead of time.

IDK, I'm just spitballing. But it's the developer's artistic prerogative to do what they think will be more thematic, for whatever reason.

That's what Verb is saying though.

Low FPS or resolution could be just like that. If the creator thinks it will suit their vision better, then yeah, it's better than having 30 or 60 stable FPS.

I've never played any of the Batman games, but I'm glad that I can use them as examples now.

mommy and daddy never forked out for an 800 gaming rig for me. I want to play games so never could commit for saving up money for it myself. I could commit 380 euros to get consoles so yeah...
Uhm

Gaming computers are cheaper than ever and you could buy one that ran the same as a PS4/Xbone and have it still be cheaper. The thousand dollar rigs you see are for idiots who probably want launch nukes and overclock their PC's.
A decent PC cost's at least $800.

That's a lot of money for some people.
Implying it's not a lot of money to little ole Luci.

I got mine for $500 and it's more powerful than the next gen consoles. Not everything has to be Alienware, laddie.
I wouldn't give alienware a penny.

On topic: I play games for two reasons

1) Socialisation
2) Intellectual value

I only get both of those on consoles.

I'll even say it in the context of the question posed by Cindo: No, PC gaming is not better than consoles. It is an incredibly subjective descriptor. There are many reasons ranging from convenience and comfort, to choice in available games, what your friends have, to platitudes like "it just feels right". Choosing whether you want to use a PC or console is entirely dependent upon the values on which the individual warrants are important to him or herself.
this was really well-phrased, by the way

either you're getting better at phrasing things, or you were just that angry lol

Uh, the developer could want that.

Like I said, a game with 2 FPS could be interesting to play, if done right. Obviously a game like Horizon: Zero Dawn isn't going to work well with <30FPS, because it wasn't built with that in mind.

The disconnect between Verbatim and pretty much everyone else is that he sees games as art, and whatever the developer/creator envisions is the best thing possible for the product.

I don't play video games enough to invest in something as expensive as a gaming PC. Price is the primary issue.

I play Halo and GTA, that's literally it, and I only bought my Xbone for Halo's future titles, and Destiny (Wow, what a shame that was). I'm a boring person when it comes to video games, and I like it that way.

Not really. Point and click flash games exist. They suck.

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.

So this is basically a debate about FPS now right?

You find me a game with something as low as 2fps and tell me thats fun. You may as well go read a book. The reason why higher FPS is objectively better is because you are in that world, you need to move and react in a second and that reaction needs to flow with you, the lower it gets the less you feel attached to the world.  Sure you could make a game with a very low FPS. But it needs a reason, and it wont work any better then any other gimmick.

You cant expect someone to properly  play any game that isnt an interactive book at such a slow speed.

There is a reason a game at such a slow FPS doesnt exist.

Its better because it immerses the player to feel like they are a part of the game. You make it seem cinematic i may as well go watch a movie.

because the majority doesn't like it

but just because the majority doesn't like it doesn't mean it's objectively worse

so what

it doesn't do that for me, so that's obviously not a fact--i can be immersed even if the game runs at 20 fps

you're just wrong

Yeah and like, some games actually have the underlying mechanics updating 60 times per second while the graphics run at 30 frames per second, essentially (theoretically) making frame rate a moot point.
