I think it worked with games that were significantly pushing the envelope, I remember being in awe of the Doom 3 alpha as a teenager. The thing is, I was never going to feel the same awe for the game released a year later that uses that Doom 3 engine but makes some minor improvements.
Yeah graphics do sell but only the games that actually are pushing the limits like doom 3 or crysis. Copy paste UE5 slop is not that at all and never will be
I haven't really paid much attention to games with better graphics than modern pokemon in a long while, I recently watched the trailer for the new doom game and it did give me that same sense of wow that's really fucking cool. Not that I will ever play it, even if I could afford it a pc upgrade is not worth the money to me, but it's impressive to look at.
