Scenery affects my gaming experience. I enjoy the vivid, colorful world of Assassin's Creed than the bland coloring of poorly thought out games like CoD. Of course unless it calls for dark scenery, like Bioshock. I'd be disappointed if the scenery was bland, with this day and age's graphics. Not to mention it's supposed to be all colorful and beautiful in SS, to contrast with TP's dark-type graphics.
