Why does everyone say this game has bad graphics?

So, looking through a scope at an object far, far away from any part of a level you'll ever go to is a good example?

Mass Effect 3: Firebase White. The painfully obvious backdrop painting of a mountain in the distance.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution. The elevator near the end.

If you want to nitpick, you'll find terribly looking textures in any game.

Crysis 2 had (and still has despite the "hd" texture upgrade i got) bricks that look like something out of minecraft on a part of the level you are most certainly supposed to travel. its right after learning cloak, you take some guys out, and climb up onto the roof of the place. and it's right infront of you at what looks like 64x64 res. I'll have to reinstall to grab a screenie if you want.

He speaks the truth! I even found some in BF3 on ultra.
