Yeah. Skyrim still has graphic mods today, people mod Minecraft to look better. Play enough of pretty graphic games and the standard is set, it's hard to go back.
That's aesthetic though, not graphics. Higher fidelity graphics can be worse looking than something heavily stylised, because they're messy and muddy and hard to look at.
Higher res textures and shadow can be easy to spot. Go from lower setting -> high -> ultra setting, you can see the graphic different. Heavily Stylised game won't look as good if you play it at lower setting compared to higher setting.
Pretty things are enjoyable to look at.
