For me, film grain is the worst. I first came across it in Left 4 Dead and I remember thinking "wtf is this trash?"

You know you've made me realise I kinda like it but I'm not sure exactly why. Huh.

Wild someone downvoted you for such a benign comment.

They hate me because I spoke the truth. Kinda. I mean it's really innocuous.

L4D has a big b-movie theme going. That's why they use filmgrain in places

The first setting I look for in every game

O.o How many games do you play that have film grain?

[–] OrgunDonor@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

You would be surprised how often it is in games. It stands out so much to me it makes games hard to play with it on.
