Should I play new-gen games (AC Unity, Shadow of Mordor, Watch Dogs,...) at 30fps or 60fps? I like to turn graphics in games on high settings to enjoy the visuals, so if I want to play at 60fps, I need to turn down the graphics 🙁. Are there any advantages from playing at 60fps other than it's smoother? Please, feel free to give me advices.

Additional question, about AC Unity, my PC can handle it at playable frame rates, but the game just keep on stuttering (can't play). Is it because my PC can't handle it or just because this game is buggy? (I can play Shadow of Mordor at high setting at a smooth frame rates).

Thank you
 
The obvious solution is to simply play it both ways and decide for yourself.

I personally like high FPS. Rough 80 FPS or better to be more precise. Game feel more responsive, and everything looks more fluid...to me. I also get motion sickness with low FPS due to latency.

But with anything of this nature, it is entirely a personal choice.
