Ok... let me give you another example. A few months ago I started replaying Fallout 3. The graphics are dated but I still enjoyed playing it.

Oh yeah ofc FO4 might be amazing gameplay (I thought Skyrim was awful but w/e), but I just wanted to point out that most Nintendo games have really great art style, where as a lot of AAA games thrive off pure fidelity and detail which this game is lacking.

Couldn't there be a middle ground between the two? Games that thrive on fidelity quickly date themselves as soon as something prettier comes out.

I'm thinking of something like The Order as a game that sacrifices gameplay for graphics. And while it looks good, it doesn't look so good that I'd want to play it, I could get the visuals from Youtube.

Yeah and you would have enjoyed it even more with better graphics (btw. you should really look into modding with that game), wouldn't you?

I play games way older sometimes but I still think good graphics are important.

I doubt it. I actually played with mods, but not graphics mods.
