It really depends how it's done, I understand what they mean because there have been tons of games with terrible ambient occlusion that just made all corners look dirty and weird. It's usually better these days but it's sometimes still wonky.![]()
Lack of AO makes the images look flat.

Like here for example, okay it looks flat without it, but the shadow also makes no sense:

Or the awful case of far cry 3 lol

I will personally probably keep AO in spider-man if it looks okay and maybe Bloom only in the "camera effects" if it's fine too.
