Don't get me wrong. I love good graphics too. I absolutely want the next Zelda to be (in a TP type art style) epic and gorgeous to behold. I also salivate at the idea of how good the water graphics/physics could look/be in a new HD Wave Race (I really hope they make one).
But in general, I have to disagree. While I too would prefer my games not to "look like shit", if given the choice, I would rather have a game that is graphically "meh", but plays AMAZINGLY, than to have a game that looks amazing, but plays like shit. And I'm sorry to report, that that is the general direction the games industry has gradually been heading since the PS2 era. And to me personally, as a lifelong gamer since the early 80s, it's not something I'm very happy about.
I've never played Witcher, so I can't speak to that. If it looks great and plays great, great. But I've seen/played too many "gorgeous" looking games that had either "meh" or outright horrid gameplay. I think it's a sacrifice that many (mainly western) developers need not be making. To me, you focus on making your game FUN to play first, and everything else second.
