Are you a graphics snob?

This. And immersion is a huge factor in gaming.

Basically you guys are saying that if a game had an exceedingly good story and gameplay but 16-bit era graphics you wouldn't mind?

bullshit.

Calling you out on your "Bullshit Calling".

Immersion while I would say it plays a part, it's not always a huge part, it depends on how you would personally define it. Making a simple example here:

I played the shit out of DLC quest. Why? It has a great story and was a throwback to the platformers of the 80's and poked fun at DLC purchases. I knew it was a pixel graphic game but I still enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun platformer that does not need to be taken seriously.

Likewise with Battlefield 3 & 4, I played a lot. It had/s amazing graphics and really makes you feel like you are in a battlefield. The story was sub-par but the Multiplayer was where the action was. I enjoyed it immensely.

Graphics are just a part of the style and immersion of the game, imagine if the Battlefield series was a side scroller and DLC quest was a FPS with destructible environments? That would not really fit the type of game, would it?

It's the same as. Why do people still play Pokemon Sapphire on a Gameboy? Not because of it's 16-bit color space using 5 bits depth per channel visuals but because it's fun. Or at least that is how I perceive it.

***EDIT
Have some pixel art!
