I just don’t get it - let’s spend so much money, development and hardware to render the most clean game possible, avoid aliasing and increase detail… And then let’s enable color distortion as if we were vieweing the game through a 1930’s cinema projector. Add in some film grain too! This saves me the effort of covering my monitor with dirt!

Make sure to make those options enabled by default on every game you release too!

    Honestly I usually run mods or patches to unlock FPS when I can, but I also grew up in the days of regular drops to single digit FPS on consoles and got used to it. So even playing on my Switch I turn motion blur off, I’d rather see a bit of frame stutter than motion blur but I can understand that’s a personal preference. (Actually my daughter has the switch now and I play my switch games on PC in the resolutions they deserve, with no blur lol)

    I will admit since I finally upgraded to a 165Hz 1440p monitor and got used to playing at beautifully smooth >100fps, 30fps seems worse than it used to.

    Sure, a little bit of blur to cover up the frames and simulate the old slow response rate of TVs is acceptable, but when you turn the camera and the whole screen smears it’s just unplayable.
