Halo 4 at 1440p looks very good, and it's 12 years old. Fully agree. I'd rather see more entities on screen, more particles, and draw distance. Polygon count and textures don't really impress me anymore.

I'd rather see highly stylized games with a lot going on in the world, rather than wasting half of my frame render time on a character's face.

Exactly. If my graphics card is going to be chugging, I'd rather it be because of the sheer amount of stuff to interact with in an area, rather than a beautiful but vapid landscape
