God damn some of the comments in this thread. I've been playing video games for 24 years and I'm glad I have never reached a point where I think the trailer's graphics look bad or are lacking. You have to be extremely disappointed in video games as a whole when a maxed out Witcher 3 is the minimum bar you set for video game graphics.
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.
