Is 30 FPS acceptable for a QTE game?

Can you stop?

>>143902773
Locking your framerate to anything below 300 is unacceptable

>>143903809
Stop talking to yourself.

>thread with decent op image vs thread with decent op text
Shit.

>>143903832
It's a bit different on consoles.

RE4 on PC isn't locked as far as I know

>>143904262
IIRC it caps at 60, but it makes some QTEs more difficult than they would be at 30.

What's wrong with Japanese developers, seriously

>>143903809

better get life insurance before source 2 comes out and you can't stop the source train

Autism. They're great programmers IF you give them precise conditions and requirements.

It's not an intentional difficulty spike; it was originally a 30-ish fps variable framerate game. It was never meant to run at 60. The PC ports were done by american studios, iirc.

My best guess is that mashing depends on how many frames transpire between each press, so running at 60fps will allow more system time to pass compared to at 30fps, even though you're still mashing at the same real time rate.

I'm at a bit of a crossroads and could use some input from any ideaguys

For anyone who hasnt played my dd8 build I'm making a mini space sim with what will hopefully have fun arcadey combat

Now my problem is I'm having trouble figuring out how enemies should work. When you enter a planets orbit you enter a zone with stuff like friendly ships, outposts, and mine-able Asteroids. Enemies spawn from enemy stations but it's kind of boring atm because they just keep spawning no matter what.

Would you guys find it interesting if there was a way to eventually clear all planets of the enemy presence or would you rather have specific planet areas be a grindfest? Or should there be a continuous power struggle over planet control??
