Just because --YOU-- don't look at them, doesn't mean no-one else does it either. There are people (like myself) who take the time to enjoy the details. And especially when I play a game more than once, I spend even more time looking for details than trying to rush through a game in even less time.
Now where is the meaning of rushing through a game? What's that good for?
Have you ever really read an Asterix comic book? Just look at how much love Uderzo has given to all the little details in the pictures. Every little flower was painted with passion.
The thing about the level of detail is that your eye -always- sees it - especially when it is -not- there. Missing details create a subconscious feeling of emptiness in you, and you simply will not like the game or movie or (comic) book because it feels shallow.
