Some Assassin's Creed Mirage players are frustrated with a graphical effect called chromatic aberration and Ubisoft not including a means to turn it off.
First step after installing a new game: disable Chromatic aberration, lens flare, film grain, motion blur.
Also:
Set FOV to something more inline with my screen and position.
Shitty console ports have this locked in, usually to a very low value that might make sense when you play from the couch but too low when playing in another setup.
There are effects, like lens flare, shallow focus planes, vignetting, even color misrepresentations, that were kind of side effects of the physics of photography, that have grown into creative tools people deliberately chose for stylistic reasons.
Has anyone with a camera ever deliberately wanted a lens to have chromatic aberration?

You said it yourself: these are creative tools people deliberately choose for stylistic reasons. I have a couple junk lenses I use specifically because they have chromatic aberration and other imperfections.
Photography, however, is a very different beast than video games. I will never use chromatic aberration or film grain in a game, despite enjoying those effects in photos.

Only the shallow arty-farty wannabe types, as far as I know. Meanwhile the rest of us spend thousands of dollars trying to remove such effects in our photos.
