While beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I'm not sure what is specifically bothering you about the graphics. Perhaps the game isn't pushing as many polygons as other games, but the way they are used, along with all of the post processing effects and filters that Bungie has applied not to mention the HDR lighting, the game looks absolutely stunning to me. I can't wait for the Xbox One beta! Hopefully, you'll see something to change your mind. Cheers!
