Wait, this game is 30fps only?

[frostdiamond]

Are you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ kidding me??? And there are these many fanbois defending this nonsense from Fromsoftware??? Why do you guys accept this kind of BS?

[Chinese Blin]

uhhh because this game's is not capped at 30fps, game engine runs at 60Hz,just like most games of that generation.

If your's is only displaying 30fps that means that you have done goofed up some settings on your end.

[spy]

you are wrong. game is 60fps. check again

[frostdiamond]

Right.

So this article about needing a mod to do 60fps is BS?

It's not perfect, but DS2 is locked at 60FPS. Only the original version of Dark Souls on PC, which is no longer being sold, is locked at 30FPS and 720p internal render resolution (semi-fixable via modding) and will probably always be high on people's lists of games known for being bad PC ports. Hardly anybody defended this, except the usual "the human eye can only see 24 FPS" people of yesteryear.
Maybe you've mixed it up with that one. You're 12 years late for that party, though.

The article is wrong about all pre DS3 games being locked at 30 (at least on PC). Again, only the OG DS1 port from 2012 is locked at that framerate. The modder from that article seems to aim for going past 60FPS on DS2 without breaking the physics.

Need to be careful to contain Falconers or else their doubleshot becomes a minigun.

I haven't read the article but I'll say this:

In 2024 we gamers do not trust ANY game journalists, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ are hellbent in ruining the experience with their lack of skills, game comprehension and even some with their BS political correctness, thing that mind you they only care for words away, but let's not get political, not yet at least.

I think you are watching too much ragebait on YT. "Game journo bad" is such a meme. The chuds who cry "woke" are way more obnoxious than the most patronizing political correct articles out there.
The main issue with journalism (not just for games) as a whole, is that it's primarily profit driven with big companies behind them. Clickbait, content-milling and quantity is what the news-space of the internet is all about these days. Having to rush out your articles as fast as possible, so you can work on the next one, especially during game release-periods, just naturally means a lack of quality. I'd imagine, that's how articles, like the linked one above happen.

There are still plenty of game journalists, doing important work, like Jason Schreier or independent outlets, like Second Wind with stellar editorial.

After reading the article I'll agree that my comment about "journalist bad hur dur" was out of place but we can agree that the quality of the article linked above 100% falls in the other category of bad game journalist, as you said, rushed and of bad quality.

I know not all game journalists are bad BUT when the bigger names are this awful is easy to get clouded and accidentally throw even the good ones on the garbage bin, on that front I declare myself guilty this time.

As for OP, yes, the article is partly BS, the original DS1 was uncapable of 60fps but as always, leave it to the community to fix stuff like that, DS2 was capped to 30fp >>>ON CONSOLE VERSIONS<<< and even then it was only the vanilla version, PC port although it had it's own uhh "technical quirks" on release (some still present lol) had 60fps support, SOTFS versions on all platforms fixed most of those quirky short comings right out of the box so no need for the community to intervene on that front, specifically to this topic, 60fps support.

there is a mod that can uncap the fps it released 2 days ago.

Are you blind? This article is devoted to going ABOVE 60, not just going from 30 to 60.
Even the link says "PAST 60"
Dark Souls Remastered, Dark Souls II and Dark Souls II Scholar of First Sin are all easily going for 60 fps if your hardware can afford it (and let's be honest, even potato PCs can reach 60 frames in these games)

oh okay you just a dark souls 2 hater

Hell Im pretty sure one of the selling points for original DS2 was even it being 60 fps instead of 30 like games before.

It was, but for consoles. PS3 and X360 were 30 fps with unlocked frame rate (X360 manages to reach 40 at certain scenarios), PS4 and XOne are 60 fps locked
