On that note, to hell with motion blur in games. The first thing I look for when I notice a game has it enabled by default is a way to turn it off, I'm not watching a film and responsiveness is much more important when I'm not sitting there mindlessly consuming content being played for me.
Regarding motion blur, I agree, it's way overdone in games, and I disable as well.
Blurring is a hack to deal with the fact that higher res is expensive. Higher resolution is preferable over AA if you can afford the monitor and the GPUs to drive it.
The same reason we know what people would find too salty or too spicy. Because, outliers aside, humans tend to have the same psychology.
Not really. It's not just some historical accident why we ended with 24fps (or close) and not 50fps or 5fps or such.
I never watched soap operas and very little sports coverage so I probably don't mentally associate clear images and high frame rates with those types of content.
