I played it on my bro's Xbox360 and i beat the game like 6 days ago i think or what ever was the 2nd day from when it came out.... I picked the evil way yes she took my Adam and that bitch let me die as she said "sorry father but remember survive of the fittest." and how if she needs to hear me I will be inside her. Yha i know that quote wasn't the same of what she said but it was along those lines since I'm not playing it once more just to get the quote right.

It's just compensating for the lack of DPI on a screen. If in the future they had 300dpi screens with the same AA it'd look so much clearer but until that time they emulate clarity with AA.

Is AA the thing that makes all games look really gross and shiney or is that bloom?

AA = Anti-Aliasing, aliasing is the jagged edges you get in 3D games, this is because a screen is made of pixels which are square shaped so there are two ways to get rid of this with AA or higher res.
the reason why AA looks shit in a lot of games is because of the way it's done, the easiest method is to render the image at so many times the resolution and then downscale the image to fit the screen *E.G., 4X AA is 4 times the resolution) another method is actively search out those straight edges and change the pixels so that the it appears smoother, this is more accurate but is also the most computationally expensive, the last method is simply find all edges and blur them.

HDRL(Highj Synamic Range Lighting) is a method that simulates the iris of the human eye and from what i've read bloom is just a fake version of it, less to compute (it adds that glowy ness from bright areas into dark areas) although games make use of both to make some really nice effects.

EDIT: gross and shiney? i don't understand you.

that's actually some weird thing with a lot of game engines that seriously mismanage bump maps

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.

We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.

ah if your talking about the actual surface, what governs what bits are shiney and how shiney is called specularity, bump maps are used to add detail to an object by offsetting the normal of a surface before light calculation so that when it shades it, it shades it as if it had those bumps like for example the bumps on an orange. A more complex form of it known as "Dot3 bump mapping" more commonley known as normal mapping is used to simulate bumps and dents as to add more detail without increasing polygon count.

the next form up from that is displacement mapping but that physically modifies and adds gemoetry to an object.

i agree though lots of games either have badly done bumpmaps or the engine handles it wrong and it makes the entire world look like a bucket of lube was dumped on it
