It's a toss up between motion blur and depth of field. Both can dramatically ruin the image.

The motion blur in Project cars (console version) was terrible. DriveClub keeps it better in check yet ever got a pylon stuck on the car? It stays a blurry mess even while it's not moving relative to you lol.
Depth of field always kept the background blurry in Infamous Second son, kept me wondering why my eyes wouldn't focus or if the tv had a problem.

The other effects are annoying yet aren't there all the time. Apart from film grain which can be done tastefully like in outlast. It didn't also need chromatic aberration though. I've never seen a camera crappy enough to have it noticeable in real life.

Another annoying effect is the dolly zoom for boost, usually matched with heavy motion blur. It ruined Fast racing Neo for me, can't see shit while boosting which you practically have to do all the time.
