Average Default FoV in a game?

I'm guessing thats because of the console ports. But when ever i play PC original games, the fov always feels around 70ish?
This is what I'm using for Battlefield 3 and 4!
Strange too as it makes me think I'm running in game really fast!
Depends on the game, some have a weird fish eye effect if you use too much FOV (Battlefield 4 for example) but some FPS (for example Quake Live) look fine with 130 FOV.
Obviously depends on your monitor resolution aswell. Personally I just use as much FOV as possible and reduce it if there is a fish eye effect until the game looks normal.
Can i ask why?
Cram more into your viewso you can see more!
Ah ok, fair enough.
I play at 90-120 fov in pretty much every first person game, getting really annoying though how most games these days don't have a fov slider, instead you have to mess around with configs that the game edits to turn gfx options on and off... They honestly expect people to play at 55 fov up close? LOL.

... and of course if you have to hack a .ini file to get the FOV to something sensible that almost always means the player model wasn't designed with that in mind and you can see odd looking geometry which wasn't expected to be on-screen with any of the inbuilt FOVs

No idea what the average is, but I know when it's wrong. In the past there have been games I just haven't been able to play.
These days I don't really play console ported titles (apart from Skyrim) so it doesn't affect me so much. 90 is my FoV of choice.
