And that's pretty much exactly what I said.
Overall visual style lasts way longer over photo realism. Graphic quality ages, and if that is all the game focuses on, you're not going to remember it for very long. If you instead remember that when you played the game it had a certain style and feel to it, it's going to make a lot more of an impression on you.
That's how video games should be, they should focus on the look and feel of the game, and not just try to be as realistic as possible. Video games are supposed to make you feel immersed in a world and give you an impression of a certain style about it. That's what makes great video games.
