Are you **** kidding me??? NO HDR? Thats absurd. No really, this is not like DX11, this is like a basic feature of every game release for years, it is on par with Anti aliasing. No HDR is seriously a bad thing, have it as an optional setting but to have no HDR at all means there is little - no point in even advanced DX9 since the main progress in DX9 itself was HDR and other lighting features. So wtf???

Oh btw and if there is no HDR the game will look absurd, HDR is implemented to mimic the way the human eye reacts to different lighting conditions and intensities. No HDR = no realism, the sun will just be a big yellow circle in the sky...
