It’s funny but I think am unusually sensitive to latency in games. I had a “gaming” laptop which had about 30 ms of latency on the screen which I measured by hooking up multiple monitors, running a clock, and photographing the screens. (I got photos where there were different numbers on different screens!) I was playing League of Legends at the time and it always seemed like I’d get hit and there was nothing I could do about it. Once I started playing on the external monitor I started playing a lot better. Earlier I was playing Titanfall on a Samsung TV and just getting killed despite Titanfall being forgiving to players who suck. Sure enough I put the TV in “game mode” and all of a sudden I’m “in the game”. I’m a weeaboo so I play a lot of turn-based games, Musou games and others that are not twitchy but I find there are occasional of single-player games such as Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet that I just can’t progress on without the TV being in game mode. This is despite the general advice that you shouldn’t use game mode for single-player games. Now I don’t know if other people can anticipate the future better than I can and tolerate latency better (I am a schizotype) or if a lot of people play multiplayer games with high latency and suck at it and don’t know why or if a lot of people try multiplayer games and quit because of their monitor or TV. |
