If you're playing the PC version you can actually turn it off by editing a config file

Along with the absurdly aggressive AA

Motion blur, film grain and DOF also suck.

MB can be ok in first person shooters with certain types of aiming (Doom 2016)

too bad if you're on console since most of these are on by default and can't be disabled.

I hate film grain in every game I've seen it, except for horror games. I think it makes sense in that one specific scenario.

I used to hate motion blur. But per object motion blur with a modest shutter speed looks great imo (Doom style with the low motion blur setting). Camera motion blur (Uncharted 4 style) stick looks like ass though.

Edit: I also think modest DoF can look pretty nice. I usually turn it on because it's generally too aggressive, but modest motion blur looks quite nice in Dark Souls 2 for textures in the distance.

I agree with everything in this article

However, notice that these mainly apply to PC and western-developed games.
Japanese games tend to avoid these effects (especially Nintendo), while western devs adamantly insist upon making video games more "movie like" and add in all these shitty camera effects and color filters, and I fucking hate it.

Although weirdly, P.T. used all of them at max

So is this basically instagram filters but for videogames? Looks terrible from what I can see.

The other thing is, once you're aware of these effects you'll start seeing them everywhere, and it's really fucking distracting

CA in particular is the Wilhelm Scream of graphical features.

I remember Bulletstorm for PS4 had ALL of the video effects (CA, motion blur, film grain) and all they did was ruin a very colorful and charming sci-fi comedy shooter.

Think that was one of the worst offenders of this generation.

I can understand why tons of gamers play these and don't notice anything wrong or off-putting.

But once you do see that the entire game is colored brown/yellow (even the sky on a clear summer's day) and everything has this odd blurriness to it, you'll wonder how you ever thought that looked normal...

It's like, does every game take place in the American southwest during a dust storm?
Unless it's meant to be futuristic, in which case everything has a cold blue filter over it instead of yellow...

It's very much like the Blue/Orange contrast in movie trailers and posters, once you see it is fucking all over the goddamn place.

As an aside I've always felt chromatic aberration is a terrible name for the option.

LOL I love the screenshot of the guy next to a kerosene lamp

https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/b7ed3a80968d6216b6bf88b3849a9ded-650-80.jpg.webp

Did he put a 100 watt LED bulb in it?

the description is too funny xd:
Check out this shot of The Evil Within and remember that he is standing next to a gas lamp, not a high powered searchlight. Just because JJ Abrams did it, that doesn't make it cool.
