Are there any 60fps games out there that you wished looked better with the trade off of 30fps?

Well PS3 emulation is getting pretty decent at least.
Mainly tho my point is that getting locked in works both ways, there's tradeoffs to 60 that aren't minor imo because it's not just a question of scaling back resolution and graphical effects for every single case.
I'd take a stable 30fps over an unstable 60 FPS (that averages around 50ish FPS) ANY day of the week. After I first got into Digital Foundry heavily I realized that frame pacing affects me more than anything. So uhhh whatever's best paced lol.
but trading a stable 60 FPS for a stable 30? Ehhh I doubt it. Only scenario I can see is if there was a switch port of some AAA game that ran at a solid 60 FPS, but the resolution was lower than 520p/720p (Switcher 3's resolution), and the 30fps option would let me get 720p/1080p.

I want Halo Infinite to be 30 fps at 720p on base Xbox One, but that's only because I never plan on playing that version and want it to look as good as possible at 60fps on Series X.
Pretty much all of them? I'm ok with 30fps, been a console gamer my whole life. Pretty standard for the last decade or more.
Initially had this running in the 4K mode and was not enjoying it at all. Dropped it after a couple of tries. On a whim one day tried the performance mode and it was immediately so much better. Car handling felt so much better. I don't know, for me, that this translates to every game must be 60 frames as there are plenty of 30 FPS games I love but I am never buying a 30 FPS driving game again.
I was struggling to think of any game that would qualify, but these would actually benefit from being a locked 30 with some improved visuals (namely the lower frame rate of zombies a certain distance away and maybe better DOF effects).
How can a game feel more floaty if the response time is quicker?
Fixed what, how can something that reacts faster be subjective?
If it's pretty locked at 60fps, no.
If it's "60fps" but unlocked and rarely ever hitting 60 — every single one of those games should lock to 30 for consistency.

I don't intend for this to be rude, but if you're asking this question than I'd simply be wasting my time in answering it.
No.
60fps and high resolutions are what make games "hold up". Visuals always age but 60fps makes games timeless.

Probably
If games let me chose between performance and graphic mode I usually pick graphics (Forza Horizon 4, Gears 4 etc.)

In other words you can't explain it. It's like saying you prefer 720p to 1080p.
Damn I'm over here annoyed I can't get NFS Heat running past 90 consistently and you want me to drop shit down to 30?! Hell no. Seeing monster hunter world bosses animate at 120+ fps is insanely beautiful. That to me is more next gen. Being honest I'm dissapointed next gen is looking to be a 30 fps festival, but I'm hopeful that the implementation of fps over res options become standard due to it being an option in spiderman.

you know... 60fps menus... are pretty dope. Same with text progression in like an rpg, with the 'text bubble'.
I recall horizon zero dawn had 60fps menus/map? Scrolling down lists is just objectively better at higher refresh rates. Hence the push for higher refresh rates and responsiveness on smartphones.
