The difference between 30 and 60 fps is massive. Anyone claiming not to be able to tell the difference is simply uneducated or mislead by hardware failing to display 60 fps properly (which still falls under "uneducated").

It is true, however, that 60 fps is a lot less important in slower-paced games like Shadow of Mordor, whereas racing and fighting games more or less require it.

More like massively overrated. It makes no differenece at all. You don't play better or worse if a game has 30 or 60 fps because human eyes can anticipate the movements on screen easily. That's biology. The non-swimmer blames his bathers.

Unbelievable. This post of yours is so patently false that I almost find it fascinating.

1 frame tricks/windows are prevalent in a multitude of competitive games. Even tiny variations of lag (less than 1 frame) between different televisions can affect the outcome of a match if the player isn't used to it, which is one of the reasons why games like Super Smash Bros. Melee always feature handwarmers/button checks at top level. Needless to say, a person playing at 60 fps would have a massive precision advantage over a person playing at 30, regardless if we are talking about shooters, fighters, racers or whatever.
