I don't really like it. I'm not a big fan of using bloom effects in general. Most games with them I turn them off. It makes everything seems too bright and unrealistic sometimes.

I like it. Even if it's not an accurate lighting, it makes things appear less "flat" . Everything seems to be enlightened in a more soft/progressive way.

Of course we're not noob enough to plop it on everything without tweaking it.

It seems on big budget games that devs are lazy or dumb or something (or maybe don't have time) and don't refine the game's look. I'm pretty sure this has lead to opinions like killa's which is perfectly valid.

Oblivion? That game featured an heavy use of bloom. Nowadays bloom is an old tecnique i guess.

Never played Oblivion, but games like Crysis 2 have huge problems with it. Like Blue stated, it's mostly lazy devs trying to cover up shoddy texture and lighting work by over blooming the game. It's used a lot in console games due to the console's limited capabilities.

Things like bloom though are artistic mostly. A game like Oblivion can use it because it more fantasy than real. Having bloom then is valid because it gives a dreamy look.

Ah yep Crysis 2. Yeah, they make textures for both pc and consoles, no wonder they have to blur the view to cover the mess, lol. I remember, back then fog was also used to visually put a limit over the area that had to be rendered. By today they just let you set the degree of visual distance that you want - or can - render.

yeah, i used to disable bloom and run the shaders. It was a bit too dreamy for me.

This. It just makes things look more faded and blended. It almost hides polygons. It is a bit bright but there's craptons of settings for this thing. This was just default.

I don't think you do :) It's a DirectX modification. No OpenGL :(

An update on the bloom, VendorX found out how to prevent AA from crashing on most maps with it so I loaded Pipeline:

Hey alkos :) now i know what u mean if u play against Chavez. Watch the last stats, that tells everything. Maybe sharing a room with zibi. Poor..
Chavez!^ 3h [ASSIST]
otherwise I'll uninstall the game and what's been seen is seen. Let's let these people play single map on hospital so they don't cry.
Chavez!^ 3h [ASSIST]
I don't want to have names that don't concern me.. I play clean, I'm clean.. whoever has to check can do it easily.. someone even came out saying you can go arm in arm with zibi or something like that.. leading to the hypothesis that zibi too or whoever makes use of something. disconcerted
Chavez!^ 3h [ASSIST]
given that in the last hour I've played in 4 different maps with people online, I wanted to ask some admin if they can clarify these people who keep crying accusing me of using tools or I don't know what program they think could exist on this game... I don't have never used anything and continue to do so but apparently people who are dissatisfied let off steam by accusing others of meaningless things..
