Depth of field can be useful if the developers want to intentionally obscure your vision. Basicly tunnel vision when using scopes or as a penalty for super speed. Almost nobody does that though so I disable it along with bloom every time as well.

>>14020816
I understand the need for a visual cue when taking damage in an FPS but I feel like the devs just wanted to include more blood in the game to make it "gritty". But people don't see red jelly when they're shot, their vision would probably fade or become shaky. A game like Metro 2033, on the other hand, does exceedingly well at conveying visual and audio cues when your character is taking damage, near radiation, low on stamina, etc. You wear a gas mask and you can hear your character breathing, you can see the sweat on his goggles as well as the cracks, etc. It fits perfectly well within the setting and atmosphere of the game.

All the various methods of anti-aliasing (MSAA, SSAA, etc) are fads, or rather they were functional methods of hiding jaggies that these days are pretty much unneeded in the age of 4K and being able to eliminate jaggies on smaller resolutions just by scaling down from 4K to 1080p.

The only pleasing DoF effect I've seen was the bokeh blur in NuDoom, and it's only used for emphasis during cutscenes and weapon switching. The rest are shit for the most part.
Full screen motion blur, especially in a 30FPS game. A game camera is antithetical to a film camera, because the player has to constantly pivot it and focus on their surroundings as they turn. Tone it down, or make it per-entity and not influenced by camera motion.
Subtle application of chromatic aberration like in Alien: Isolation looks good, but even slightly overdoing it is a guaranteed emetic.
Deferred rendering. Why does it even exist anymore? For one, Forward+ already exists. Second, developers more often than just bake all the lighting anyway. Out with dithering, bring back transparency!

Super Mario Odyssey does some weird dithering effect for transparency. If it needs to make an object in the foreground partially transparent, you get the effect shown instead of some straight alpha blending. Almost all the transparency in the game (other than things with inherent transparency, like water) is done with dithering.

AA serves a purpose, but it's more of a case of certain forms of it being phased out, like MSAA, in favor of less-resource hogging versions of it like FXAA, which used to be the worst, blurriest form of AA but now doesn't look that noticeable when applied to higher resolution images which don't have much jaggies to begin with.
I guess what I'm saying is, the higher resolutions get, the less need there is for sophisticated, intensive forms of AA and that a single pass of FXAA may only suffice. I've noticed newer games are just shipping with FXAA being the only AA option, with maybe an additional pass of it as another option

Cel shading is much better when it's like in Strong Bad's Cool Game or Guilty Gear Xrd, that is, the outline is a darker version of the outlined object's color rather than solid black

Pic 1 is from 1998. Pic 2 is from 2001.
Honestly half the problem is that they combined their shitty low res formatting with their disgusting "everything is shit" aesthetic. It looks neither realistic nor pleasing and it ends up just looking like puke. Tribes 1 had similar res textures but chose much more pleasing colors and Tribes 2 just has better res textures.

Before you say it, the only reason the textures look just as bad in pic 2 is because the terrain is deforming them.

Chromatic aberration is minor. It's completely stupid just like lens flare and shit, but you can mostly ignore it if you even notice to begin with.
>>14020327
>>14020320\
Bloom and Depth of Field are both horrible and hard to ignore. but at least they can be turned off a lot of the time.
My number one slot for worst "graphics fad" ever has to go to the shit and piss filters. It looks ugly, you can't ignore it, and you can't turn it off. Most of the time you can't even mod it out properly as the necessary color information is just gone.

What about in Cuphead? Honestly that's the overall point to take away: Do the effects actually serve the game's aesthetic?

Half-Life 2 is from 2004. The graphics were more than acceptable for their time, and the visuals overall work. The physics were certainly novel.

>That's because Morrowind's dice rolls were a metaphor for combat.
They're also about as simplistic and crappy as Oblivion's combat system. The difference is that in Oblivion it actually works to the gameplay. Dice-based hitting does not.

Honestly the graphics of Half-Life 2 held up until like 2009 because even with 7th gen consoles, devs just couldn't help being retarded and putting the blurriest textures imaginable on the maps.
