Am I the only one around here

I agree that Reach doesn't look quite as "polished" as most of its competitors... Bungie could easily have changed that by dropping the quality of the HDR while increasing the lighting contrast to get hazy Halo 4-style bloom, adding in some hazy screen-space godrays, applying a blurry post-process filter, and using less colour contrast. Bungie doesn't do that because they care more about crisp imagery and diverse, bold colour schemes. (This is part of why all the screen-space godrays in Destiny footage has me a little worried.)
[/b]
That last bit there...
I'm not entirely sure you should worry that much. I think godrays might fit well with the universe Bungie is trying to create. Do they fit well in Halo? Debatable. Could they fit well in a mythic-sci-fi feel that they are trying to create? Possibly.
There's always personal preference, of course, but from what I've seen, I think it works.
