I'm still impressed with graphics. I'm 24. I've been playing games since my NES/486. Gameplay is still the most important thing though.

In some cases, better graphics (including resolution) is tied to the gameplay. For example, Operation Flashpoint often has you engaging enemies at over 200-300 meters away. At those distances, a high resolution really helps. I first played the game at 800x600 because my computer couldn't handle it. After upgrading my computer and monitor, playing the game at 1920x1080 is much much more enjoyable. It can also help with driving games. Having a higher resolution can help you see distant details/turns in the track better and from farther away than at lower resolution. Graphics don't necessarily make a bad game a better game, but better graphics do make a good game better.
