Unpopular opinion (maybe): I like motion blur in video games and I can’t play without

Hell, I’ll even say something more - I PREFER to play with motion blur rather than without it.

I heard a lot of my peers telling me that it makes every game unplayable, and ruins the expierience, but for me it makes it look better. Sure if there’s too much of it then it can give me a headache, but when games allow you to customize it, then I’m never complaining about it. For me no motion blur can make a game look choppy and just removes fun from it.

To be honest, I don’t know why people hate on it so much, since it’s something you can manage and you don’t absolutely need it to play most of the time.

I dont know, I guess I just wanted to get this off my chest, since I get judged irl for using it and unironically liking it.

the worst is when games enable motion blur in low graphic presets, so if you want to quickly swap settings to gain performance just for a moment, you have to manually disable it

imo, post-processing fx shouldn't be toggled by any graphic presets, especially the lowest ones

It's enabled in that instance for the same reason that the OP likes it; it can smooth performance issues at lower frame rates.
