Yes, because it's obviously shallow for a game to be portrayed well visually.
He wasn't saying that a game with good graphics is a good game (worth ooing and aahing over), but simply that the graphics help him enjoy the game.
The idea of anyone who likes good graphics in their game being shallow is a silly one.
And if you disagree - I challenge you to post how the Resident Evil series could be played, in its current form, with NES-style graphics (2d 8-bit sprites).

I misunderstood him then, I thought he meant affectively that "graphics make the game".
Graphics, music and voiceacting enhance the game... but nothing more.
And Resident Evil could be played NES style... for a good example... go find a copy of Sweet Home
