whats up with games nowadays using that "glow" effect?

i'm not saying its bad, but it doesn't exactly make the game look that much better. WoW has it, and i was just looking and, elder scrolls 4 and age of empires 3 seem to have it.
 
Lineage2 now has it, but I never turn it on. It's retarded, and makes me dizzy. GiuldWars has it as well. I hated it, so I turned it off because it made me dizzy.

It clouds out details of the textures, so it makes my eyes strain w/o me telling my eyes to strain. I hate it.

Yeah, I was going to ask the same thing. Linky?
 
Yeah, that's HDR (High Dynamic Range lighting).

I agree. They definitely screwed it up. In photography and imaging use, high dynamic range is NOTHING like the blooming that you see in the pictures.
 
Oooh. Are you talking about models that look so reflective that they look like they're made from plastic? I think HDR does a nice job removing that and making the shadows more realistic. I think in all those photos, not necessarily looked BETTER, but more realistic.
