A game with awesome gameplay can look like crap and I'd still play it if it was fun. Hell I still play way too much Internet Checkers that came with XP!
I'd eat burnt chicken before I'd eat well-flavored dogpoop but truth be it I'd not eat either and wouldn't expect to have to in any decent circumstance.
I'm not sure why people come out defending gameplay over graphics so often. It's weird to me. It's not like better graphics means poorer gameplay. Although the vice versa is true to me. Poor graphics = poor experience because suspension of disbelief won't happen.
Bioshock looks so fake I never get to the point of immersion.
Why aren't you guys buried in games from the 1990's if your assertions are true? Some of the best adventure games are from those days. Space Quest, etc etc. You can't have played them all.
Finally, all great, epic, 10/10 games, FFVII, Half Life 1,2, Far Cry, etcetera had superb graphics. This game is very good, but it doesn't reach this 98/100 level that its being touted at when most of its graphics are 6/10
