This console generation this effect seems to be in almost every game these days. It reminds me of the PS2/Xbox era esp Xbox where so many games used bloom lighting and it became really annoying. These days it's CA. I have been playing Lost Sphear on the Switch and this is a budget title with graphics that are not high end and yet it uses CA and it's highly distracting to me. Even though I dislike the effect it's less offensive in a game like FAST RMX where it has high-end visuals and moving at a fast pace.

 

For those not sure what I am talking about here is a couple of examples pulled off google images.

 

Some of you may not mind and think with all the good lighting modern games have maybe don't notice it much. Ok, that's fine but in a game that looks like this...

 

It looks esp silly. I'm fine with the game having lower end graphics but the CA looks silly in a game like this. What purpose does it serve? It's very present in this pic and this is from my own playthrough of the game.

 

What are VGChartz thoughts on CA?
