up until yesterday we were all happy with playing 1080p@30 on consoles
What a weird thing to say, who is “we” exactly…? The last time I owned a console, Kaz Hirai was still the CEO of Sony. For me 30 FPS is unplayable unless it’s a turn-based game or some other extremely slow genre. The PC crowd has never been “happy” with a shooter running at 30 FPS.
Personally I skipped Resident Evil 4 Remake because my current PC can’t run the game at 120 FPS, which I consider the minimum for an action game where you aim with a mouse. I’ll pick it up once I upgrade my computer, I’d rather wait.
And I would never play Alan Wake 2 at 30 FPS either: again, I’d rather wait.
Is Tears of the Kingdom unplayable?
For me, yes. I mean, I can still “play” it fine if I have to, so “unplayable” isn’t the right word. But the low framerate would severely hinder my enjoyment of the game.

We definitely played games at 30fps in the voodoo, tnt2 etc era
Talk about elitism, mate.
You’ve just got really high standards, like in the 1% of standards before you enjoy a game.
There’s nothing inherently wrong with that, but you are part of a very small minority.
