Why do games use effects that do more bad than good?

Ahh Mass Effect 3 I love that game. I was too into the story to notice graphical hiccups lol

Don't get me wrong. I love it too. Actually liking it even more this time around, now that  I know what to expect.

Just baffled as to why they didn't just axe DOF, as it would have looked better without it.

Yeah you're right. I played ME3 on the PS3 so I didn't expect much from the graphical department anyway.
