You think Last Guardian looks bland?! To be honest I'm not having a difficult time understanding some of the differences in the lighting and shader effects between your set 1 & 2. You put Gears 3 in set 1 yet Gears 1 in set 2 but the textures in Gears 3 are far more detailed and they use the same engine.

Anyway, on lighting, I do think it's a bit over the top in some games, however it really depends on the look the developers are going for. In games with a pseudo-realistic look like Uncharted, God of War, and Halo then its fine because it's supposed to only mimic reality to a certain extent. On games where they're trying to go for a more realistic look (CoD, Forza) then the implementation needs to be more delicate as too much can ruin the realistic look.
