Depends on the game TBH.
I barely noticed any jaggies in mass effect but I was annoyed to death by jaggies in mirror's edge with 4xAA.
[QUOTE=pebkac;29571619]Actually you can force AA in Mass Effect, it definitely worked for me, although the framerate does take a huge hit when you do.
As for my sensitivity to aliasing, in some games that plain don't support it, it bothers me a lot at first, but then I kind of get used to it after a while. 4x AA looks pretty smooth most of the time, that's the minimum I use if the game runs well enough. 8x looks almost perfectly smooth though. I have an ATI card, so the most I use is 8x. (There's custom filtering modes up to 24x, but they also take samples from neighbouring pixels and therefore introduce some blur to the image, I don't really like that.) 2x AA is basically pointless, it doesn't do much and if your computer can't handle more than that you might as well turn it off and increase the framerate a bit.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I know forcing works, but he just did something wrong I guess. I forced 4xMSAA myself, but it fucks up the normals for deferred shading for edges. Still looks better 99% of the time.
The reason consoles suck when it comes to graphics like that is because they have to make the console cheap. $200-600 isn't exactly cheap, but it's sure as hell cheaper than having to rack up $2000+ for a nice computer.
I can't really see a huge difference between AA off and AA x8 at my usual viewing distance.
I basically have to surgically attach my nose and forehead to the screen to get close enough.

Holy shit? Well sure, I get near my screen when I want to make sure AA is working on still images, but that's just...
I don't play consoles for the graphics. I play them since a lot of my friends all have consoles, so I do it because I enjoy playing with friends.
I just got all my (relevant) friends to get gaming PCs, so I suppose I'm a master manipulator

Agreed.
Wait a second, I only have a Wii.
And my friends do not own consoles.
Wait, I play MineCraft with my friends.
On a PC. And because I enjoy playing with them.
