I'd say it definitely matters. I'd much rather have a game be 720p @60fps than 1080p @30fps.

This, very much this. It's not just about how it looks, it's also about how it feels. 30 FPS often has more input lag (in fact, in a simple case, it could be twice as much as 60 FPS).

Even 60 fps games can have quite a bit of input lag, but it'd still probably be less than a game at 30 fps. But what's definitely the worst is when developers feel the need to cram every bit of detail into a game so it looks pretty in screenshots and video, but then it can't even maintain a stable 30 fps as a result of all the detail. (I understand that this is primarily an issue on consoles, and not so much on PC)
