Obviously it's a matter of personal preference, but since I don't game online, that being paid or free did not affect me. I also prefer Halo and Gears over PS3's exclusives, and visually speaking I reckon Halo 4 and Gears 3/Judgement look as good as anything PS3 ever produced.

Personal preference is subjective, what is not subjective is that PS3 had highly rated exclusives in a variety of genres and hence the best library of games. I wouldn't say Halo 4 and Gears look anywhere near as good as GOW 3, Ascension, Killzone 3 and TLOU but then you might prefer their artstyle and I can't argue that as it is subjective.

Ratings are subjective too, it all comes down to which games one prefers. I enjoyed some PS3 exclusives like Uncharted 1-3 and Killzone 3, but not quite as much as I loved Gears 1-3 or Halo 4/Reach.

Personally, I think a lot of people graphically underrate the 360 simply because it didn't have as many graphical showpieces as PS3. Sony made a strong push for them in order try to justify all the "c3ll" hype, while MS didn't prioritize them as much. So while PS3 definitely has the majority of the best looking games last gen, I personally reckon the best of both consoles were pretty much equal. PS3 was generally better at post-processing, while 360's eDRAM meant it was better at doing lots of high res alpha transparencies. The games that doubled down on these strengths exceeded what was possible on the other console; you couldn't do Killzone 3 on 360, but by the same token you couldn't do Gears of War 3 on PS3.
