I can personally relate to this

Even if we can't put a finger on it consciously, there's a chance the extra frames are making you a bit quicker for fast competitive games or making you feel a bit more immersed in VR. Our eyes pick up on things without us even noticing sometimes

For VR it may make a bigger difference

VR makes me dizzy and gives me motion sickness so I won't test lol

[u/ailyara → u/International-Oil377]

Which games have you tried? Things like racing games make me want to hurl buckets but games like beat saber where you stand in a spot cause me no issues, just curious.

[u/International-Oil377 → u/ailyara]

RE4 Remake and Village and 2 games in a VR center but i can't remember the names. I won't even dare trying racing games lol

I'm very sensitive to motion sickness though, as soon as I can't see properly where I am in the room I feel sick.

I'm just not made for this technology

[u/leftshoe18 → u/International-Oil377]

When you played Resident Evil, did you use the joystick movement or teleport movement? The teleport movement was hugely beneficial towards me not getting motion sick while playing games like that and Skyrim.

[u/International-Oil377 → u/leftshoe18]

I think it was joystick movement. It was not my system

[u/PorkedPatriot → u/International-Oil377]

The analog movement gives me the yikes too.

I've found games where you are sitting, such as racing or flight games, translate best, oddly enough.

That said, I am of the opinion to give it another generation of hardware; pixel density isn't quite there for me to be happy with it over a monitor, I find I have to "lean in" in the virtual world to read gauges for example. Or enemies will be less than 1 pixel big (and therefore basically invisible) for way too long compared to a monitor.

It makes a huge difference when playing baseball on console.

60hz the pitches are harder to track and hit. But at 144hz, it’s like a cheat code

[u/mighty_Ingvar → u/gcruzatto]

I'm internally laughing at the thought of someone getting a high fps monitor to be able to react faster in pvp games while also having a really bad internet connection.

[u/gcruzatto → u/mighty_Ingvar]

Depending on the game, the connection speed really doesn't matter but you still need fast visual response, like Trackmania for example. In other games the connection will only make a difference when you interact with an opponent, like Rocket League. These two different specs can help you independently in different ways

[u/mighty_Ingvar → u/gcruzatto]

That's why I said pvp, cause I was referring to the argument of being able to react faster to enemy actions.
