It just doesn't fit.
I don't mind when it's reserved specifically for a cutscene that calls for it.
Other than that, off.

I don't like it, unless it's something like a sanity effect, pops up after taking a beating or something.
Otherwise it's like asking if I like a blurry game or a black and white image style aesthetic.

Bloodborne looks incredible with CA. Adds to the atmosphere
Hahahaha, i don't know about you but when i think about victorian era (inspiration for art) chromatic aberration is not something that comes to my mind. Only thing it does in BB is ruining IQ (that is already aliased enough).

Depends on the game. A lot people sound like they get aneurysm for watching it.

When you turn off vignette and ca in Elden Ring the game's quality gets roughly 20% boost not to mention the framerate improvement. Both those effects are useless as f

it's a low-fi effect where the edges of things or specific colors, in specific parts of the image, break out in several colors.
Similar to out of focus pictures using plastic lenses. It's really common in photography for lenses outside of the centre using fast exposition times. Shit lenses will smear it everywhere.
As with everything videogame related, the big issue is not just the fact that they thought that effect was a good idea, it's usually that they make it very noticeable and often don't allow turning it off.

I despise it with all my being.
Absolutely hate it, especially since I already suffer from it in real life because of glasses (actually made a thread here about it a while ago https://www.neogaf.com/threads/glas...-distortions-how-do-you-deal-with-it.1494316/ ).
I still haven't played Elden Ring because of that, I know you can mod it out, but then you can't play online anymore.
I'll never understand how this became a trend, chromatic aberration is a lens defect, it's a problem, the cinema industry kept trying to improve the quality of lenses to get rid of it, but in video games, a media that doesn't have it because by nature video game is a perfectly clean, raw 3D scene, they ADD that on purpose. Makes absolutely no sense.

I hate it, but in some instances I kind of appreciate it. Sometimes it's been acceptable for me along with film grain in a Sci-fi or Horror setting. 99% of the time I turn it off.

I mean, The clue is in the name.
aberration
/ˌabəˈreɪʃn/
a departure from what is normal, usual, or expected, typically an unwelcome one.
Just like motion blur is an abomination

CA is fucking lens DEFECT in photography, it's a diffraction of light resulting in a separation of colors and we fight it as much as possible by buying higher quality and extremely COSTLY lenses and Devs just though was a good idea to... use it ?
There is a reason if it's called an ABERRATION, and its usage is also a pure ABERRATION.
You can die chromatic ABOMINATION.
For people not knowing what it is, here a example, Chromatic Abomination is especially visible near edges of a photography with high contrast, left picture is without CA, right picture is with CA :
Basic readings : What is Chromatic Aberration ?

Love it. Every post effect that breaks up that sterile gamey look is a win for me.

Red and blue outline on everything shifted 1 or more pixels off the edge to give a 3D effect. I hate it cause I know when I see it.

Film grain looked good in last of us part 2, without it the game doesn't look as great on the base PS4, but this is probably subjective.

I feel the same way(and in regards to film grain too). Theoretically, when done right it can enhance a game artistically, making you almost feel like you're looking at a movie.
Too many people online complain about CA and film grain lately though, which is why I see them both used less and less lately in games.

Can't vote in polls yet so I'll just say it here -- I fucking hate it and all devs should give the option to disable it.

If used at all (aside from using as an effect like it being used when the main character is glitching out in Cyberpunk) it should be almost imperceptible, a lot of the time though it’s just too heavy handed and just needlessly muddies the image at the edges of the screen.

Sometime I like it sometime I don't. I even used it a lots in my painting.
Don't see any problem with it.

Turn it off whenever I can.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
The worst image-quality degrading effect. I always have it off whenever given the choice/option.

i think these effects would work except our tvs as is dont have perfect image motion and processsing so it just makes the picture look bad

Just like motion blur, lens flare and film grain, it can look good or bad depending on the game.

I'm indifferent. It doesn't bother me as much as some people do.

If used sparingly for effect, it's fine. If it's just always on, then fuck that shit.
