I'm saying people that repulse from new games, those are the snobs.
And it's not only a question of graphics, it's of control, sound, atmosphere, graphics, gameplay mechanics, power, and optical illusion graphics (HDR lighting for example) my point is not whether they're good or not, my point is that now we don't have to leave it to our imaginations, the creators of the games have the creative license they have deserved from the get-go of the industry.
It's understandably more expensive, but it pays off for the player, who'll get to experience the world he's in.
Play Colossus or the newer Zelda games, they're prime examples,

Well, if you want games that still stimulate imagination, look at all the fan fiction and fanart and crap out there for new releases. I've seen competitions for "Designing your own colossus" that have yielded incredible turnouts and results.

I've seen some even weirder examples where people take games and expand on the world offered significantly, inventing their own mythology and everything... The Neverhood community was a big offender of that, and it wasn't a visually sparse game.
