Title. The listed effects are done very poorly in this game, and make it look worse than it would without them. Reflections reflect things that aren’t even there, like a puddle deep in a cave reflecting the sky, or a gun glowing when there are no lights around. Fog is just a global wall of mist. It doesn’t matter where on the map you are. You always get the same surface fog wall around you. Bloom makes light sources emit a glowing mist. Even if there’s nothing around for the light to light up, like if there’s somehow no fog in that location, it still has that aura. This is especially noticeable on Fallen torches in dark locations. Destiny 1 had little to no reflections, and the fog was built into the map instead of the player’s view, and that gave it its style. This gritty character. That combined with the dramatic lighting of the Cosmodrome and other bright locations gave it a certain charm that is lacking in many video games nowadays, which make everything flashy (in a lighting kinda way) and dull (in a color and design way). If Bungie would add an option to disable these effects, or whitelist a thing like ReShade with the ability to do so, that would be incredible. It would really turn around the way the game looks. It may also reduce lag, so that’s cool. Uhh yeah, rant over.
