Why don't they put graphics settings in console games? Like, if we could lower the settings and turn off useless post-process effects we could easily achieve 60FPS

Well, in my opinion, graphic settings are not included in PC games to give the user a better experience (although it sometimes works out that way). They're included to compensate for the myriad of possible hardware combinations that would make the game not run correctly. So as far as devs are concerned, graphic settings are a waste of time and effort, because the game simply runs on consoles.

Because then devs would have to do more optimisation, and console users would be overloaded by having options like that.

At 27 FPS with dip, so this line of reasoning kind of falls apart.

also it would be inpossible to sell people on the idea that 30 fps is more cinematic or whatever if they could actualy try 60 out on the same game

>>337457408
because most console gamers are 12 years old and stupid so when they fuck something up theyre going to be whining at whatever game company and shit posting on forums about how the game sucks

Because the difference between 30 and 60 is usually a lot more than just toggling particle effects or some ambient occlusion.

People who care about settings just get a fucking PC.

But they do! Dying light, Witcher 3, Ni-Oh has a few graphical settings on console but they're as extensive as the PC counter parts.
>>
>>337457408
Because their modus operandi is to spend as little on a game as possible and make as much off of it as possible

Newsflash

Devs as a whole honestly don't care about making games 60fps, it doesn't make a huge difference
It's only /v/ who spergs out about it.

Which is what console gamers tend to put up with. If the customer base is fine with it why would they deviate? They give an identical experience to the players, that's what matters to them. With a PC version, someone might be trying to play on a toaster
