No it's not. I'm not talking about Doom here. I'm talking in general yes performance matter and not just presentation. Same reason some perfer FIFA over PES purely becuase "it's just better to play" in my brother's words who doesn't know what GAF is.
Yeah i get that a lot with my little cousins, when a game is 60fps they say that "it feels fast" even if they have no idea why or what framerate is, when i was i kid in the ps1 era i thought it had something to do with the cd reading speed, same for frame drops lol.
