I might be the exception, but personally, graphics mean nothing to me.
I've had as much fun with 8-bit games as I have with modern ones. I'm always amazed with how much better the games look, but that won't keep me playing of it's just not fun.
Of course the exception would be graphics that are so bad that they get in the way of playing, or I'm unable to tell what things are supposed to be.
Yeah I definitely might not be as drawn to a game with graphics not to today's standards, but if the core mechanics are good I quickly start to ignore the graphics.
