Not even close to true. You can absolutely take graphics into account, especially when those graphics have an impact on the gameplay. Goldeneye has a brutal framerate, draw distance issues and texture muddiness. Sluggish framerates make playing it feel quite rough because input is delayed by that same sluggishness.
I can still pop in Mario 64 and enjoy a smooth framerate and tight controls. It holds up quite well in comparison. F-Zero X is still as fast and twitchy as it ever was. Goldeneye is a great game, but it wasn't perfect, even when it came out.
