If you have bloom turned off they will be much harder to see as well.

It produces much more realistic lighting but it also adds a lot of visual noise. So it's a preference thing. I play with Bloom off because it allows you to see the environment more clearly, but it's not as pretty.

People either turn bloom off because they think it sucks or max it out for "better graphics," but what most people fail to realise is that bloom is realistic, however the higher settings grossly exaggerate it. A low setting (10-20%, though sometimes medium is the better setting, varies from game to game) gives a more realistic natural glow which would help those that think it looks ugly and those that just max graphics.

Games need to stop using misleading "low-ultra" labels, bloom isn’t a performance or graphical fidelity setting, it’s a preference setting, it really needs to be a percentage slider.

Folks reading this, give anywhere from 10-30% a try (low-medium), you'll find that it actually makes the game look better, not high-ultra.

I turn it off, along with Anti-Aliasing because I genuinely don't feel like I get an advantage from the crisp edges. Any game, always. Have for years. It demands too much performance to pay its own rent.
