How did people manage to play games running at sub-720p sub-30fps with massive screen tearing and other issues? It's disgusting.
>>
>>741620946
It was fun.
>>
>>741620946
>How did
People still do especially if they're playing on switch 1
>>
>>741620946
back then people had mental strength and tolerance to overcome inconvenience.

and here we are in 2026, delicate snowflakes crying over literally nothing
>>
The games were good, the online lobbies were unfiltered fun. There was something for everyone really. Personally I don't understand how you can stomach these newer games but that's just how time works
>>
>>741620946
cod was 60 fps and it was one of the biggest games on both
normies couldn’t describe it but the fluidity of cod mostly had to do with having an actual playable framerate

>The games were good

Wheeze

>>741621742
Like I'd join few games of cod, then farm some hatemail doing invasions in souls. Some chaotic GTA races in 4. Play some street fighter 3 and 4. Battlefield was sick too. Also the console didn't download a bunch of crap all the time and another storefront wasn't shoved into my face the moment I booted my game. I never got bored back then

this is true actually. same reason so many people are fat. cant deal with the minor inconvenience of feeling hungry while you wait for you're next mealtime, or the minor discomfort of doing some exercise.
>>
>>741621782
Whatever man, your fortnite or whatever the fuck you're playing now is waaaaaaaaay better ofcourse, enjoy dude noone really cares
>>
>>741620946
Are consoles no longer sub-30fps? Nice
>>
>pc fags are still waiting for super mario bros 1
my deepest of keks
>>
>>741620946
It's better than a perfect high FPS. If you're in a climactic section of a game and the FPS tanks it makes it feel more impactful
>>
>>741622207
this is actually funny and creative bait, people should learn from this
>>
>>741620946
Games are always designed for the platform and audience.
When you make a game for the average person, you design it to be easy enough to be won.
When the FPS is on the lower side, you make the game a bit easier to account for that.
When the resolution is low, you account for that as well by not making small things hard to see.
People managed to play games despite those limitations because the games were designed to be won with those limitations in mind.

Every game was at 720p beside few exception and they all ran on a 720/1080p display

I did test few months ago and the main problem comes with the low fps rather than texture, especially late gen multiplat on PS3 which runs at sub 25 fps .... but something like FF 13 looks perfectly fine compared to the PC version, beside the better resolution and slightly higher texture

They played the Wii instead.

>with massive screen tearing
consoles had v-sync enabled at all times.

>b-b-but frame drops happened
consoles dropped framerate to numbers divisible by 60 (30, 20, 15).
>>
>>741623683
The waggler!
>>
>Sub 720p
I wish. Sub 480i would be better.
The lower the pixels the better the graphics.
Games weren't all manipulating and addicting people then.
>>
>>741620946
The games themselves were good. Something that can't be said for the majority of slop coming out today. Shit, people didn't care for the PS1/N64 gen of games having such poor resolution as long as they were fun.
>>
>>741620946
Because the fucking games were actually good and fun and the online lobbies wasn't polluted with immense levels of gen z faggotry.
>>
>>741620946
screen tearing? sub 720p? I think you used the wrong image.
