The overall look and feel of a game certainly have turned me away many times, but graphics in the technical term of having low res textures or simple lighting not really, other than ones with performance issues.
Graphics, as in graphical fidelity, polygon count, etc. are valueless to me.
Art style is everything. I don’t care if I can see the pixels in the game, I still play the same SNES my family had 25 years ago. The game has to look good, and graphical fidelity is a tool to help achieve that, but it’s only a tool, and useless without the appropriate art direction.
