Eh, I don't think I was ever impressed with graphics. Even the move from 2-D to 3-D.
Well actually that seemed like a step back to me since most 3-D games looked a lot uglier then their 2-D counterparts and really didn't get back to "even" in most games in my mind till mid PS2.
More complex doesn't equal better looking.
Honestly graphics could be photo realitic and i don't think i'd be impressed.
I'll take better graphics over worse graphics of course if all else is equal...
But even if it were to take away one enjoyable part of gameplay i'd rather play it on N64 or Atari level level graphics.
The one exception being early PS1 graphics. Those might effect my appreciation of gameplay a bit. I'd still take the PS1 level graphics with better gameplay over the opposite however.
