First time I played Mass Effect back then I though my console had a graphic issue. Until I found out you turn that horrible film grain off

Motion Blur/Film Grain/Chromatic Aberration - On Or Off?
- Thread starter PS9
- Start date
The OP could have been clearer and directly mention what options to be used for Cyberpunk 2077, right? (Without hiding it)
Same with Cyberpunk 2077 when you aren't using RTX reflection, because it hides the SSR dithering.
Then you traded it for colour banding which is much worse with film grain disabled in that game.
If CA is used sparingly I don't mind it on, but when it's just carelessly applied to the whole image (seemingly to blur the image like bad AA or something) I turn it off. Like in Outer Worlds.
Film Grain and Motion Blur depend on game to game. Good implementations are good and bad ones are bad 🤷♀️

Everything on. ALWAYS.
Except on Cyberpunk, which are super weird implemented, and destroy the image quality.

It's all very contextual and dependent on the aesthetic the game is going for, but if it feels like they were thrown in there for the sake of it then I'll turn the latter two off.
Motion Blur entirely depends on how strong it is. I'm fine with a l'il bit of it, but sometimes it's way too much.

I actually like the film grain effect. I thought the implementation in Resident Evil 2 and the TLoU2 were pretty good. Now, motion blur gets turned off instantly. Never been a fan of that and it looks so jarring to me.
Recently played Spiderman and Miles Morales with those options. Why imply CP2077?
A lot of people dogging this post, but honestly? If I trust in the people making this I'll have a good time. I don't know better than they do. I want what they've been working with, not my spin on it.
Which means if this stuff is turned on, I'm leaving it on.
All off. I don't see the point of motion blur when LCDs make motion look a bit blurry anyway. Or maybe I have a shit monitor.
If my choice for motion blur is completely binary, off.
If I can toggle camera blur and object blur separately, object blur stays on in games where it's not distracting.
Everything else is garbage, and if you don't put in a toggle for shit like CA and film grain, I'm going to assume you hate my eyeballs.

Everyone!
But seriously it depends on the implementation.
Per Object Motion Blur I generally keep on, probably one of the best effects to keep on in gaming even when you are cutting down on settings.
In racing games Motion Blur as well.
Film Grain has the odd side effect of antialiasing images, so depending on the game I may or may not keep this on. Hopefully i can control the amount.
Chromatic Aberration is totally up to the implementation, some games go way too far with it so I turn it off but its an effect that I dont mind when applied sparingly.

CA off, and if there's no option to turn it off I'll mod it out.
Didn't vote either way for the other 2. Per game basis for motion blur, and as for film grain, I don't think I've ever played a game with it in.

depends on the game. a little motion blur can be fine at times. sometimes it's not needed or is just way too strong. not really a fan of film grain at all. for CA i sometimes turn it on.
I quite like motion blur and film grain in the right context. Well done blur looks excellent - the 30fps versions of Forza Horizon 4 for example.
But Chromatic Aberration is an abortion of an effect. I have no idea why anyone ever saw it and thought "our game needs some of that". There's a reason camera manufacturers spend a fortune on glass and coatings to reduce CA, it's because it looks utter shit. Photo software is designed to remove it, but game devs actually spend time putting the headache inducing crap into games.
Yes I feel strongly. But as someone who suffers from an eye disorder that results in ghosting CA makes things worse and gives me eyestrain. While there are strides in accessibility options these days the use of CA seems to have passed devs by as an accessibility issue.

It bothered me that the 3 Remake removed the film grain. The banding was very noticeable in that game.
Gimme all the fake movie effects. I bathe in fake movie effects.
edit: I even keep a fake film grain filter on VLC at all times. It really helps mask compression artifacts.

I love how the poster assumes I'm playing one game out of all games available just because I mentioned some standard video settings lol
