Console gamers are the ones worse off because they are forced with all this garbage, PC gamers at least have many options to switch a lot of this garbage off for a cleaner image at the expense of needing more power, that is usually done officially in the game or by mods that alter the game, either way, the PC is the way forward for most games because of how much cleaner it can be, console gamers are getting a massive raw deal and it seems to be getting worse as time goes on.
On the plus side, I mostly like playing games that are a few years old, usually when they go on sale really cheap, the advantage of that is that the games are patched up and driver ready for better performance and fewer bugs, the game cost a fraction of the release cost and with mods, it's usually quite easy to clean up the garbage on the image for most games, assuming the game it's self doesn't allow an easy way to do it, the other advantage, I don't have to be on the bleeding edge of hardware and I'm quite happy to stick a little behind the curve, it's cheaper and better overall once games are patched and driver ready and it's a heck of a lot cheaper whiles not feeling like I'm missing out on much.
