Do you think some pre-7th gen games still look nice?

Stylistically, of course plenty of games still look incredible. But even the best looking games make me cringe when I see all those jaggies. It's the sort of thing that was fine at the time, but looks terrible now that I'm used to HD. (2D games are the exception, as pixel art doesn't work quite the same way.)

For some reason, this isn't really a problem for me. Probably cos I sit a fair distance back  from the TV. (Don't like being too close, it feels cramped)

For example, I've been playing Metroid Prime 2 recently, and I can't ever remember thinking "ugh, those jaggies."

It was actually that game that made me start the thread; two of my friends were over, one of whom mostly plays Battlefield 3 and Dark Souls on PS3, and both remarked at how good Prime 2 looked.

Yes, the distance you sit from the TV helps quite a bit. Back at my parent's house I'd sit ten feet from their 26" TV to play my Wii games, and with the exception of Xenoblade (the best Wii game, incidentally), I didn't notice much in the way of jaggies. But in my college dorm, we have a much larger TV and 5-7 feet of veiwing space, so now everything looks awful. :(
