For me, anything 25 FPS or higher is 100% fine and I'll be enjoying my time. I never play competitive online shooter games ever, though. All single player ones like GOW and the likes. I game on a 60 Hz 4k monitor. GPU is AMD RX 6600 alongside Ryzen 7 5700G and 32GB RAM. My games are set to meduim most of the time at 4k. Demanding titles are on low. Surprisingly, GOW and GOW Ragnarok are both set to ultra and I still get around 40ish FPS.

There's a reason I only upgraded to a 2k monitor and not 4k, I'm not willing to sacrifice that much performance to just play at a higher resolution, 25 fps is way too low for me. 108 fps is what I play Fallout New Vegas at (to avoid physics behaving too weirdly) and I think that's fine. I think I've gone down to 90 and been somewhat ok with that, but anything below that is no bueno.
Non-fps games I'll cap lower, like 72 fps for a civilization game is perfectly fine.
But if you want beautiful games like God of War (or do you mean gears of war?) and are fine with a lower framerate, that makes sense to me.

I like how us humans have totally different likes and dislikes. I 100% understand you and will never judge you. You like what you like and that's very good. I mean God of war, yes. It's freaking gorgeous.

Maybe it's because I grew up with 60hz CRT monitors in the 90s, the ones that'd give you a headache if you sat in front of them for too long ๐Ÿ˜… Or maybe you just get so used to 144 fps once you make the switch that it's impossible to go back.
GOW running at 40'ish fps as you say even at ultra must mean they cared to make a good game. I ought to give it a go just for the "Boy" meme.

Boie, you'd better do that.
