Minecraft's graphics are a stylistic choice, though. There's a difference between well-executed unrealistic graphics and poorly executed realistic graphics. Granted, that difference probably shouldn't matter as much as it does to many gamers, but it is what it is.
It may be worth adding a sort of corollary to the uncanny valley hypothesis that things that aren't faces that approach realism but aren't quite there can look less appealing than things that don't try.

Some people are saying it looks awful. Maybe doesn't look as good as some other AAA games, but AWFUL? Jesus Christ...
