Metal Gear Solid V Phantom Pain PC Version topic

Keep it civil or the warnings and infractions will go out.

I agree it is dumb in this day and age to release a game that doesn't offer keyboard and mouse despite the fact that I use my Xbox controller myself but if I had an actual desk, it would be a different story.

 

So how's the game run on a 980M? Max grafix? Supah FPS?

 

Ppl did you see this? I don't have the game and can't confirm but there should be keyboard support most likely in the location specified in the above comment...... Stop bashing the game so much lol

 

i get a bit of framedrop here and there but they're so short that it doesn't really matter.

 

Thanks TomJGX, it's my fault, I didn't see the keyboard assignments, only the Controller listed on the first line. Probably still best with a controller, but here are screen shots of the menus, and options for both controller and keyboard/mouse:

Hmm, can I get around the limit by replying to my own posting?

 

I've never played a metal gear game. Is this one good? I may get it. I use a ps4 controller connected to my laptop with blue tooth.

 

Phase, they are ok, you could start with the "sample" episode, METAL GEAR SOLID V: GROUND ZEROES, it's only $19.99 on Steam, and looks similar.

They are fun, and if you have played the previous games, on other systems too like I have, the continuation of characters is fun too.

 

IMO, 20 bucks for a tech demo is way way WAY too much. Better just wait until demand drops and you'll be able to get a proper game for like 30 bucks on G2A or CDKeys.

 

killkenny1, I ended up pre-ordering and got both for the price of MGSV, but you can't always time the Steam Sales, and you can't let $ get in the way of happiness

 

I just don't like the concept of selling demos...

 

killkenny1, the way I heard it is they were getting pressure to release a new MGS game, and they weren't going to be ready for quite a while, so they pealed off this short game and sold it.

It was never a demo, it was a short game, for about 1/3 the cost of the full game. It's not bad, some were hoping that MGSV was at least as good as Zero's, and I guess to most it is.

The reason I suggested it first, besides being previously the newest MGS game'lette, is that it shows the graphics, mechanics, and tone of MGSV without spending $60. If you don't like it at $20, then you saved $80 - cause you can get a refund at less than 2 hours of game play

I actually bought Zeros before the preorder deal was available, and Steam was nice enough to let me refund Zeros and get the package for $60. If they wouldn't have said yes when I asked, I would have been happy to have paid $80 for both.

Don't let semantics take away all the fun in life

 

This is getting a bit off topic, but who didn't let Konami release GZ as a free demo, or charge $5 instead of whooping $30. That's a daylight robbery considering content and price of TPP vs GZ.

 

killkenny1, GZ is $19.99

And, has a "Very Positive" rating.
Positive (5,597) Negative (761)

"Just a tech demo they said

You wouldn't get your moneys worth they said"

OK, I gonna repeat my point once again, and then I'm done with off-topic, and hopefully come back here if I buy TPP.

What I'm against is the practice of selling paid demos. It can be the best game ever, but the fact remains the same - it's a demo.
Some people spent countless of hours in it, it's OK, that's nothing new. I've previously replayed single player demos for hours too, and that BF2 demo with one map (Gulf Of Oman, IMO the best one in that game), I played it so much. I actually never had the full game, just played that one map over and over again. But those were free, I didn't have to pay a dime for them.

If companies get justified for such sort of actions (thanks fanbois!), what stops other companies, like let's say EA, from releasing Mass Effect 4 Prologue To Prologue containing one and a half missions and two side quests for a convenient price of $29,99 (or the equivalent of currency in your region). It will only last you 3 hours to complete, but hey, you can repeat it over and over again! Never mind the full game, which will have hundred of times more content and will make more sense from price point, fanbois have been waiting for it for so long, let's just make some money out of them (and a few non-fanboi people who got involved by mistake)!

This potentially has all the makings of turning into something ugly. We already have these horse armour and day one DLCs. You know what, screw full(ish) games with DLCs, let's just release one mission at a time and charge insane cash for it? What? People will still eat it up!
If you don't think that could happen, please remember that we recently averted paid mod crisis (not sure for how long) and how Square Enix went mad over pre-order bonuses...

It's good that you got it for free, in fact I think GZ should be included by default with TPP, and not be sold as a stand alone game and instead turned into a free demo, so that people like me who are curious about all this hype about MGS V had a chance to try it out and see what the fuss is all about. As for people who previously owned GZ, they should get a discount on TPP.

And before you go again into your "it's only $20" (failing once again to see that it's a freakin' demo), "think about the happiness!", and "you can buy it, play for an hour, and then ask for a refund" modes I will say that it's not even worth to go through all the refund experience for a mere tech demo...

P.S. wasn't the original price (aka the one they asked at game release time) $30?
P.S.S. Steam reviews are mostly useless. They are usually flooded with crap like "11/10 would get arrowed to the knee again and again", just to get cheap "likes" and peer recognition.
But I can play this game. In contrast to the review you've posted, I quote this one, which, in my opinion, is more balanced:

And there you have it, I'm done. Good day to you, sir!
Now, I heard that Mad Max is €18 on G2A... Hmmm, interesting...
*thumbs up* paid 20 euros expected a demo but got a full game 11/10 would buy again

 

Anyone have a code for this game from buying a GPU that they want to sell or know of a cheap place where I could buy it? Really want to play the game but £37 is a bit too much for me..

 

Cheapest I saw on G2A was €40. It's overhyped a bit and demand is high so far. Wait a few weeks while it settles down. That's what I'm gonna do.

 

Well I will have a lot of money in 24 days once I get paid for my first month at work so by then hopefully price is down... Tbh by then I wouldn't really care if it was £35

 

killkenny1, your offense is noted

Now, may those of us that paid for the MGS:GZ and MGS:TPP games with our hard earned money, all done through our own personal free choice, get back to enjoying and discussing those games?

Thanks.

Also give that poor girl some clothes...

 

With the settings below:



it plays really nice: between 58-60fps. a 2fps drop is not noticeable unless you had an fps counter.

 

EDIT: It turns out you can tranq and extract a bear from afghanistan....and you get 5000 GMP as a reward

 

LOOL! Seriously?

 

yep, took about 7-8 tranqs but i got there LOL

so i've extracted sheep, wolves, a bear, and now donkeys/ass.

 

Haven't previously played a Japanese game? They have their own humour style.

 

Lol what level of fulton did you have to use to get the bear out?

Yup, you get rewarded for extracting animals... Basically, some wildlife charity if paying for animals to be removed from warzone... I've removed sheep so far.. Didn't remove any bears but will do if I can one..

BTW, did I mention how much I love this game? Haven't had so much joy playing a game for so many years!

 

the standard level. you start with 12 fulton balloons and you can upgrade it to 24, you can upgrade it to lift turrets and mortars. there's one where you can fulton vehicles and shipping containers. i haven't gotten the ones for the vehicles and shipping containers.

 

I am enjoying this game alot so far, just a couple of gripes:
1. You are a Terminator, you aint the T-800 but the freaking T-1000. Nothing can kill you. Snakes weakness must be a steel mill because I have not died a single time even with a couple of people shooting me in the back with assault rifles.
2. No way to adjust the difficulty. Its preset on Kindergarten.
3. Enemy will never call in for Tanks or at least some Jeeps with mounted machine guns. Why not? Would be awesome and make the game more difficult.
4. You keep attacking the same enemy locations over and over again, no matter how often you cleared one. -> At least the enemy equipment stays broken so once the air radar is gone it wont come back.
5. Too easy. ( Snakes HALO Shield would make the masterchief jealous.)
6. D-Dog is total OP. Pretty much enables wallhack.

 

Sounds like fun, another one to add to the list. (sigh)

Still cant believe this game is not so demanding that my 750m will have no problems running this game, I might buy it because i love the MGS series and I played MGS1-4 and 1 and 3 was my favorite games ever.

Its nothing new from Kojima, He always add some crazy easter eggs in the series and funny dialogue too lol

 

It's one you should play ASAP... Hell I haven't had so much fun with a game like this in ages...

I've played about 10 hours and have like 5 platforms built.. On Mission 10 now, should get Quiet soon hopefully.. Well I'm off to do 10 hours today

Nah, he should wait a bit till the hype settles and price gets a bit lower.

 

Doesn't matter, came free with my 980 Ti

 

Lucky you. I didn't get crap with my 970

 

I paid £31.25 for mine from cdkeys.com... That was like the cheapest I could find and well I could afford it since I don't buy that many full priced games... Steam has it for like £45 which is vulgar..

 

Cheapest I could find was €53, which was a bit too steep for me. But no biggy, I have other stuff to do. Luckily by the time I'll be done with that other stuff MGS V should get cheaper, and I will buy it then if I still be interested in it.

 

and hopefully they reinstate the last mission that was cut from the game! so yes, even MGS is incomplete garbage.

 

Its a great game.I just dont know why extra shadows is so taking for my gpu(760M OC).In nvidia guide its only 1fps difference between extra high and high which in my case is way above that.Thats weird?Post processing is definetly most demanding cause i get a boost about 50% if i switch extra high to high.With those options on high and motion blur off(personal preference) im always above 30fps.Btw guys where i can find that guy who interpretates russian???

 

it's a side op IIRC.

 

dumitrumitu24, google translate works for me

motion blur in the game is useless even at 30fps cos all it does is stutter even when it's not supposed to.

 

Don't know what you are talking about... No stutter here and maxed out everything with 970M... Probably the CPU is the problem for you...

Yup it's in one of the early side ops... Ooh didn't I mention, I have the last Fulton now so I can capture AA guns finally lol...

You know when you watch a fast paced scene in a movie and the image starts to judder? It's like that.

Motion blur only makes sense for me in racing games

 

I only have motion blur on games that run at 30fps as there aren't enough frames to smooth out the motion. I turn motion blur off in 60fps+ games because there's enough frames being rendered to make the motion more smooth and fluid.

Motion blur in cinema and in games are two different things. The former is a natural byproduct of exposure time, the latter is fake and tacked on.

IMO only two kinds of motion blur are acceptable in games, object blur and radial blur (in driving games). When you wave your hand really fast in front of your face, it blurs. That's natural. Same goes if you jack an Aventador from the local Lambo dealership and put the petal to the metal to outrun the cops on your ass, your peripheral vision blurs. That's also natural.

But the fullscreen motion blur that is used in many FPS games is not natural. When I turn my head quickly, things don't streak across my entire field of vision like that. When it is overdone like in PlanetSide 2 and Battlefield, it makes me dizzy and nauseous.

 

if it's motion blur is like arkham knight is fine when playing at 30fps.
