When you say graphics...
I'm my opinion games, like movies or comics are a form of medium for sharing ideas, feelings, escapism or enjoyment. Graphics can be good without being realistic, I think it's art not realism that matter so we may have to have a semantic argument about the terms 'graphics'. We all remember those 8 bit games that brought us joy. Just finished playing Dave the Diver, a modern game in pixel at form, which conveyed so much feeling and care that I was moved by so much of it.
You're not the only one, realise that it's just a means of covering thought or feeling and worry less about the realism.
I thought graphics meant anything that has to do with visual representation. Like when I look at the graphics for Pokémon Gold/Silver versus the graphics for Pokémon Heartgold/Soulsilver, I think of the complexity.
