I'd rather have nice sharp jaggies. Antialiasing tends to give me the impression that someone's smeared my screen with Vaseline.
I acknowledge that this is a minority preference, and the algorithms involved in antialiasing are interesting even if I don't like the product.
Not all AA are the same. The vaseline smear you complain about is just Temporal AA. See https://www.reddit.com/r/FuckTAA for more info.
Not all game engines need to use TAA, and usually is just because the devs were cutting corners.
Edit: even the post mentions it, https://blog.frost.kiwi/analytical-anti-aliasing/#clarity-should-not-be-a-luxury
So much this.
Give me MSAA OR SSAA.
Any COD after BO3 is probably the worst offender
