Yet, would you be happy with Destiny or any new titles looking like PS2 games or worse?
I'm not talking intentionally retro, but still clean and crisp, I'm talking muddy graphics, blurry textures, hideous anti-aliasing and awful draw distances.

Of course graphics matter! Just not as much as people think. To put it lightly, games are never going to look like that again. We're never going to have games that are "accidentally" like PS2 or original xbox. A prime example of a game that is bad looking by today's standard is Ride to Hell Retribution( not that the game isn't shitty in the first place.) but by yesteryears standards that game would have looked pretty good. Still wouldn't have made it a good game. Dark Souls 2 on the other hand is another game that graphics sticklers rail on and yet that game is still hailed today as being great. Even the Dark Souls 1 game was considered haunting and atmospheric with its ugly textures and muddy graphics. Basically. If games looked like they did on PS2 no that wouldn't be good. But we don't even do that anymore cause that's not the standard.
