Look, I want a good game. That's my main priority. However, even graphics make a difference.
for instance, look at Donkey Kong 64. Is it a bad game? No. It's extremely fun and has good replay value. However, the visuals are HORRENDOUS, making it an eye-strain to play.
But, let's fast forward to the future. We don't have 3-d triangles visible to us anymore. Concerning now, even the "decent quality" visuals are still stunning. Nintendo managed to make 240p games(3DS) look good. Creators are spending more time on visuals because they want the game to not become outdated quickly. They can make the game look really polished and detailed, giving it more reasons to be remembered in the gaming community
