To retards more effects=better.
Lens flare even though there is no camera to get its lens flared=better
Chromatic aberration that only exists from faulty tech or light water distortion=better
Depth of field that is 1000% exaggerated, that only someone with bad eyesight would see and eyes already have when not focusing on something=better
Motion blur on things that already have natural blur if it's moving fast enough, doubling the blur into pure smear=better
The average gamer and game dev has shit tastes and only copies what they see movies and interprets that as the correct way or "realistic" way to do things.
Their whole idea of experiencing the world in a videogame is through a camera with shitty filters.
