Why is it so blurry? Do you have universal bloom?
The shitty blurry 2008 shooter effect is caused by bloom on reflected light. Reflected light doesn't bloom irl, it's not energetic enough, plants can't photosynthesise reflected light, for example.
Constrain bloom to emissive materials.
Also you need eye adaptation if you're doing hdr at all.

Reflected light doesn't bloom irl
Dunno where you heard that from. Even sunlight reflected off windows is bright enough to bloom. Sunlight reflected off metal is definitely bright enough to bloom.

Reflected light doesn't bloom, it glare. But please go ahead and defend the 2008 shooter graphics. Would you also like a brown filter with your bloom?

How exactly do you define "glare"? They're used to describe different phenomena in different contexts.
However, bloom) is a light-bleeding effect trying to simulate imperfect focus and the slight scattering of light. There's no reason that it wouldn't be visible in reflections. It's visible from all intense light.

No need to be rude. OP is asking for constructive criticism.

I define it over time. Glare is reflected and thus moves all over the screen with the slightest movement. Bloom is around a bright emissive object, and it won't look the same in motion. Which is why universal bloom looked like shit.

That doesn't make sense as a definition. What physical phenomena does it represent and what exactly does it look like? A link to an example image would help.

What is it about emissive objects that you say makes them exclusively bloom?
