They're only bad if you're looking at games that pushed the envelope too hard and aimed for realism over stylization. All the best looking games of the past still look great, because they aimed to be appealing over being realistic.
And even then, why is everyone so hung up on graphics anyway? Shouldn't we care more about the games being fun to play, first and foremost?
It seems like storyline and gameplay were just so standardized that graphics comparisons were the best metric for a new game being "better." It's also much easier to point at graphics right in front of your face vs. trying to argue about whether Final Fantasy 10 or Halo had a better storyline since reasoning and arguing is actually difficult compared to counting polygons and godrays.
...I can say as someone who played the hell out of ffx and barely remembers halo that halo's story was probably better...
...honestly, final fantasy is sort of one of those franchises that should have stayed 2d... the 3d games were meh at best...
