    I've done good in this world. Now I'm tired and just want to be a cranky
    dirty old man.

    ... eyesight.

    Just watching the few minutes of the trailer with that hat 'super
    grainy retro filter' gave me a splitting headache. I can't imagine
    playing an entire game that used it. Even a short one.

    I get why it's there; without it, the visuals look so simplistic and
    plain as to lose all atmosphere. But it makes for a horrible gaming experience.


    Can you turn it off?

    No. At least, not through any in-game options. Perhaps there's a
    config hack hex-edit to disable it but I've yet to see one.

    The entire game is 150mb. The filter is used to disguise its low-res
    assets (and also to set the mood, since the game is set in the 1980s).
    The blurriness also helps with creating a sense of uneasiness and otherworldliness (there's also a constant camera wobble, as if the
    whole game is being filmed through a hand-held camera). I understand
    why the developers used it. But... they made the effect a bit too
    strong and --having installed the game just to see-- I can report it
    actually is MORE sickening in the actual game than the trailers make
    out. I gave up on the game ten minutes in because it was just too
    headache inducing for my taste,

    Now all they need to do is make it dark on dark to complete the trifecta
    of pain inducing graphics.

    I can't stand 'shakey cam' I can't imagine deliberately doing it in a
    video game. It's only done in movies to disguise bad/cheap choreography
    & special effects. I still hate it there. It ruined The Expendables
    for me.
