If you think this then you must really hate Amnesia and Penumbra's graphics.
This is why I self are an 2D artist and create
photoreal textures.
So, my level of quality may is higher than other, casual gamers feelings.
As EA hyped the graphics on BF3 in the trailers and screenshots, the final game doesn't have this quality.
All textures are standard when knowing something about other games.
The Witcher 2 looks much better at all, and some games from 2007 (NFS ProStreet) and 2006 (Gothic 3) have same or better textures.
And to hype the graphics in BF3 was the most failure of EA, because my expectations were great - and the game wasn't as they hyped.
The quality of Textures always was to a normal level, like all actual games look like, nothing was worth to hype!
Ad as I said, the quality of graphics isn't important to the goodness of games. But I can't hearing BF3 has excellent graphics, when it's a lie.
And some lighting effects / refractions are even in Amnesia better.
I'm an epic gamer and Penumbra & Amnesia are some of the epic games.
Quality of graphics always is important, but some good or old games really blended with their old / original style and don't need big graphics to be immersing.
