I think people are just spoiled by having 60 FPS games in this day and age be the norm
You realize that NES games ran at 60fps, right? It's been the standard, and as technology progresses that should be maintained or exceeded, not decreased. There are reasons that games started with that high frame rate. Not only is it MUCH comforting to the eyes over lower refresh rates, it allows for the reaction time needed to play twitch reflex games.
When Capcom made the leap to the next gen with Street Fighter IV, you bet your ass they kept that game running at 60fps. Compare that to playing on the 3DS, with the 3D on, and you'll understand why. Your reaction times cant be as high because of the lower FPS. It really messes with my reaction time. Any veteran fighter will say the same.
In this case its very annoying, and the game will DROP BUTTON PRESSES because of it. We're not talking about "oh its 30fps instead of 60fps" we're talking about 25 max at any given time, 15-10 in combat against more than one enemy.
I really want to like this game, but that shit is just flat out unacceptable. Hard to play, hard to watch for extended periods, just unacceptable.
