Why do we care about Frames Per Second so much?

For me personally, so long as the game isn't going 1 MPH and is maintaining a nice speed with a smooth frame rate, I couldn't care less what FPS rate it actually has, but it seems the rest or a very large amount of the community wants 60 FPS or nothing at all. Why do we want this? Does it really make a difference how fast frames are going by in a game so long as it still works and plays well and isn't moving at the speed of a turtle with an anchor tied to it?

  • I don't know, people are convinced it's invaluable to have a game running at 60 FPS. The truth is the human eye is incapable of telling the difference no matter how much people want to talk it up like it's a big difference. Your brain can sort of tell because it has to fill in the gaps between the frames, but it looks the same. Anyone that says that they can tell a huge difference is nothing but a lying prick concerned with nothing but specs.
