Yep, OK. That's it. There goes my money.
I don't want to be rude to critizise your screenshots, but I'm sort of disappointed with the visuals of this game. As for a title like MGS I have expected more. The textures have few fidelity, seem low-res and everything's looking like a plastic/sculpture, not really natural or organic.

It's better in motion. At least as far as the "sculptures". But when have you played an MGS on PC that signified anything else? It looks grand, in my opinion, and non-moving pictures really can't do it justice. Beyond that, regardless of visuals, MGS will do just fine.

This chick goes on and on in Korean, and I might not know much korean, but I can tell a Krait sympathizer when I see one. I want nothing more than to throw her and her stupid outfit and her stupid swamp village, and their stupid Krait statues in the Krait-infested waters and laugh at them while they get ganged up on and misused by stupid Krait. Screw them all.

Haha! Was waiting for the next frame showing your legs dangling out of the dragon's mouth.

For one thing, he uploaded highly compressed jpegs.

How come you're tilting these shots?

It exaggerates speculars maybe a little too much. And I agree, the material rendering in that game is pretty disappointing (even in motion). There are moments when it looks good. I don't think the environment in Ground Zeroes is a particularly great showcase. I want to see the rest of the game... but I'm not optimistic that it's going to look that great.

I don't even know. Sometimes it's already tilted and I change it back and decide that I like the tilted one more...

Some Skyrim. Vanilla other than the ENB used.

Gotta remember that it was designed to run on consoles. The visuals are very, very basic. That said, considering just how simple much of the visual components are, the game still looks pretty good.
I'm hoping we can get some AA going in this damn game though.

It was designed to run 1080p 60 fps on consoles, no less.

I've been hovering over this thread for the good part of 4 months and it's really making me want to build a PC for 2015 but wouldn't have a clue where to start being a console gamer since Doom 3 first release and i nearly made my mums computer explode running it.
Bravo for every screenshot though. Highly entertaining.

You wouldn't have to because there are many friendly users here willing to help if you stop by asking.

We've got a fantastic starter guide at reddit's PC Master Race (yes - the term is a joke
) subreddit here: http://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/wiki/guideMisho, could you try to find ways to disable the HUD and use anti-aliasing in your shots?
Anyway, some of the shots here are absolutely phenomenal. I'm on holiday at the moment so I can only check the thread on my boyfriend's cheap laptop, but even still, I've been showing him some of the incredible work posted here and we're both consistently in awe, especially with those Star Citizen screenshots. I can't wait to get back to my rig and get some shots uploaded!

Quickly,
How much are we talking if i'm looking to get pretty much the next leap from the next gen consoles. 4k or whatever. Then with a decent hard drive - etc.
I'm being so brief i know cause i don't know too much, haha. Sorry!
If you want 4K gaming (which isn't really a thing yet), you're going to be going highest tier, consumer grade GPU. If you want something that will outperform the consoles by a "step up" as you say, you could get something like a 770, and that would play a lot of modern games from 2013 and previous at 1440p.
http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcforme - is a good resource to get started, and there's a series of questions that will turn simple answers like "I wanna play such and such game at 60fps/ultra" and "I plan on doing some youtube video editing," into a full-fledged list of parts.
Firstly, you should establish a budget. $600? Doable, but not going to have a beastlymachine. $1000? Good, mid-tier gaming build with that. Maybe even "upper-tier" parts thrown in. $2000? Pretty much set for gaming for years and years. Of course, that's not how it ends up being for most people on PC though- you'll want to upgrade in a few years to stay on top, instead of just using the same hardware for 5 - 6 years.

Here you go: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=944920
It will depend on the games you play of course. For around $1500 you can get a PC capable of 4K in a lot of games.
For more demanding games, stuff another GPU in there. And even then, its not guaranteed you'll be able to run 4K at acceptable FPS.
But it all depends on what games you play, and their optimization for PC.
I'm playing The Vanishing of Ethan Carter at 4K/60FPS on a single GTX 970.
That depends heavily. 4k gaming for modern games is still in its childhood due to demanding graphics. So for proper gaming (at reasonable frame rates) you would need at least two graphics card and a 4k monitor (the selection isn't great, however) if you not downsampling 4k to lesser res. But for 1080p (and sometimes plus), decent anti-aliasing and FPS you would need roughly 700 bucks (may depend on your regional prices), e.g. with my rig I'm able to play Tomb Raider (2013) at 4k (TressFX disabled) with minimum of 30fps and 60fps tops. With a processor that costs 100 bucks now and a graphics card for roughly 250. Of course you can and probably should invest just slightly more. In case you have concerns about the relative high price comparing to console keep in mind the possibilies of a gaming PC even with keeping the exact same hardware like "backwards compatibility" of old games, new features providing by your graphics card manufactors and different ways to experience your games (controller AND mous/keyboard, Occulus Rift, TrackIR etc.). I don't mean to put down consoles (as I do own several, too) but just pointing some things out you get for your money. In short: versatility. If you have specific question I'd recommend to follow AnyoneInCherno's and PhilGPT's link in order no to hijack this thread

I should start taking some shots of DA:I as well
You Should
Someone posted one of my PCG shots in the "best graphics of 2014" thread, so I may as well post it here.

Well, it is still a cross-gen game and even though stuff is improved in the PC version it still shows. But it does look great in motion and performance is pretty good. Downsampling from 1440p and I still get 60fps maxed out with my 970, that helps a bit with the not so great FXAA.
I hope they improve on the out of control DoF in TPP, it can go a little crazy at times (especially when crawling under stuff).
Overall, I'm just glad we are getting MGS on PC. I wouldn't have complained if it was a straight port of the PS4 version, because that's better than nothing.
There's not much on it. I'm getting ready to organize and upload a few hundred GBs, sort things into albums and such, but here ya' go https://www.flickr.com/photos/128985676@N02/
I'll be doing a mass upload here in the next week, and albums/sorting after the new year. Got a bunch of crap just sitting local.
Also have another account with random stuff on it, but I couldn't access it so it's just sitting dormant haha.
You Should
Everyone should. So much potential in this damn game. I can't walk for more than 5 minutes without seeing some great scenery that needs some screen-shottin'. need mooar

Why is the Orc in the middle 's crotch area glowing orange ?

Beautiful screens merrickxx.
glare/flare... from a bright light source- likely the sun.

Hah. What happens in Shadow of Mordor when you freeze the game is that all screen space effects are also frozen. That includes sunglare and even the sunsprite location. So likely what happened was he froze the game, then moved the camera in such a way that the sun was behind the orc. But the sunsprite was still showing as if the orc wasn't there.
