None of these games are even close to modern proprietary games in terms of graphics, though. As I said, that's because it's expensive to get there. People can only volunteer so much.

To be fair, I'd say Xonotic has at least the level of graphics that would have been expected in the "sixth generation", or early 2000s. That's a lot more recent than the early 1990s, but it's still a decade behind. Until we can figure out how to raise the millions of dollars necessary for a game with modern graphics, we're just going to have to accept that we're going to be behind in this department. Hand-waving this as "I think the graphics look great" or some other such thing isn't productive, and may alienate gamers.
