HDR is GREAT! Everyone trying to implement HDR + tone mapping excessively just for the sake of it and exaggerating it to show-off (just like those oversaturated Samsung phone screens) is not.

Yeah. There've been a laundry list of innovations over the years that people will invent, show how it improves how a scene looks, and then for the next few years everyone turns it up to 11 and it looks like shit. Bloom, SSAO, lens flare, film grain, vignetting, DoF.

After a while people turn it back down to like a 4 and it improves things.

		Yes, like everything: Nylon might be my favourite example of us never being able to use innovation in moderation.

So were 3d movies until they stopped filming in 3d and started adding pointless effects in postprocessing :)
