Crytek continuously misses the point. It's not their graphics that people aren't impressed by. It's the rest of the game.

Considering they also maintain and update Cry Engine I would argue that they don't have a lot of time for game design. The engine can make beautiful stuff, but Unreal 4 came and pretty much put it to shame. I agree it's really hard to wow people with graphics now a days. People are just spoiled by fidelity. 

Every developer updates their engine, and most other developers realize there's a happy medium.  Spending all your time on the engine takes away from the rest of the game.
