A game is never fun ONLY because of graphics, but that is not the same as saying graphics play no part whatsoever in a person's enjoyment of a game. |
In general terms, if there are no costs associated with improved graphics and there is no gameplay trade-offs associated with improving the graphics most games would be better with better graphics. We don't live in an ideal world, there are costs associated with developing better looking games (which hurts developers and publishers), consumers are forced to pay more for these games and the hardware they run on, the gameplay tends to be more generic and less risky, and often they make game environments more static to pre-calculate "Better" lighting to improve visuals.
