The 7th gen was the last one where graphics blew me away personally.

Seeing stuff like Gears of War and Uncharted 2 for the first time was mind blowing, the leap over anything from the previous generation was gargantuan.

There have been games since then that impressed me, such as Ryse Son of Rome in 2013 or Hellblade 2 this year, but to me at least the leaps grew less pronounced over time.

Yeah, I’m in the same boat. The leap to HD was the last time I was truly bowled over by graphics. Stuff like Oblivion and Gears of War and even Kameo made a big impression on me. It’s been diminishing returns since then.
