Disagree. Only the hardcore will ask this question. And the hardcore deserves options.
I promote this to the worst post of 2025 and 2025 has not even started yet.
What kind of backwards ass thinking is that?
"lol I am hardcore because I know what these console modes are!!!"
Get the fuck out. There is nothing hardcore about that.
If you think that knowing some graphical options is a sign of being hardcore or smart... this means you don't know anything since this is nothing to brag about.
If devs can't decide what's best for their game (usuals like film grain and motion blur aside), then what are we even talking about here?
There is nothing hardcore about devs releasing unoptimized shit and offering options... ON A CONSOLE where they should just offer the best possible experience on this hardware. OK 1-2 modes or fps unlock but options make no sense.
There is a pc for that. Which is what I largely abandoned (Saying as I just finished indiana jones on steam lol) because of distractions like that.
Devs need to learn to use consoles again.
Listen. I am a "hardcore" gamer and I demand something else than pc game released on unoptimized low power box.
Choice is one thing.
But being made an idiot is another.
There is no sense to REDUNDANT options on console since you cannot upgrade your hardware and monitor your performance.
If they offer multiple anti aliasing options... there is no fucking choice here. Only 1 looks factually the best. Devs should make that choice and release the game that way.
I understand film grain. Sure, it's subjective. but there is nothing subjective about game looking aliased or not.
LET CONSOLES BE CONSOLES OR GET A PC.
