The ongoing community poll to determine the most disliked graphical effect in video games has narrowed down the contenders to four. After tallying approximately 4,000 votes from the initial round, vignette, chromatic aberration, motion blur, and film grain are advancing to the semi-finals.
The current stage of the tournament will see these four effects compete for a place in the final. Players are encouraged to cast their votes to decide which two will move on.
Vignette in Cyberpunk 2077
Vignette, a graphical effect that darkens the borders of the screen, is used to direct player focus toward the center of the frame. This technique is prominently featured in games such as Cyberpunk 2077.
Chromatic Aberration in Marathon
Chromatic aberration, characterized by red and blue fringes around objects, is another effect in contention. Bungie has utilized this effect in titles like Marathon, where it is noticeable on elements such as the white cabinet on the left side of the screen.
Voting is currently open, with results for the final round to be announced in the coming days.
