wait... is your monitor native 1080p or native 1440p?

I'm starting to feel nervous that my copy won't be delivered tomorrow.
I really don't want to buy a controller on top of Canadian pricing just to play TPP
I guess I'll try to sort out my DS4Windows issues...DS4Windows has issues with Windows 10 because of the lack of exclusive mode :/ No issues with Windows 8.1, so it makes me wonder why Windows 10 changed things on that front.
I really hope the deadzone issues with the controller aren't in TPP like they were in the PC version of GZ. No matter what controller I used there were very large deadzones, I had to move the stick like 25% before it would register movement. I used a program called Duranzo to tweak the anti-deadzone but I'd prefer to not have to.

I wonder what settings I'll need to turn down to get 30fps at a minimum at 2160p (on a single GTX 970). I just got this TV, and I know I certainly can't get anywhere close to 60 fps, but I'm fine with 30 for the extra resolution and turning down a few (hopefully) settings.
tryagainlater, have faith.

gotcha, sorry for the confusion.
I agree it would be better to run at native 1080p60 with HBAO+ enabled than downsample at 1440p60 without HBAO.

Alright, got ya. Will get an even better understanding once I play the game.
Thanks

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna mow the lawn, take a fat nap until midnight, take an adderal, tell work tomorrow to get fucked, and basically play for 24 hours, resuming normal life on Wednesday.
I just played through ground zeros last night on Windows 10 with a ds4 and ds4windows, no issues whatsoeverI really don't want to buy a controller on top of Canadian pricing just to play TPP

if its like ground zeros you should be able to get 30 at nearly max settings, I'm guessing TPP will be a bit more demanding though

Hopefully a single 970 will get you close to 30 with minimal compromise (based of the GZ PC benchmarks linked above).

I really do consider calling in sick tomorrow. Anyone feeling like pushing me the last bit over the edge?

Changing ideas of game design and narrative story telling in gaming from the design team and director?

Go to the Ds4windows website, there is a new version that fixed my windows 10 problems, download it and get rid of the old version, should help you out.

This is from Witcher 3, but it's indicative of about the performance I've seen with HBAO+ in other games. I can't speak to how well it works on AMD hardware though.
GZ didn't have HBAO but I ran it at 1440p with no issues, I'd bet if you have a GTX 6XX or higher you'd probably not see too much of a performance penalty. Though it depends entirely how it's implemented.

Thanks for that, I don't know why I didn't think to just try out Ground Zeroes lol!

Is the first pick in the OP available as a desktop background without the V on it?

My 780 kept 60fps constantly, so I would agree.
Your story that everyone else has ignored has been great for me.
I'm glad you got the save data back
Yes it's true. For most of them. Some become replayable.
If your reason for saying "that is horseshit" is a worry about content then don't bother worrying. I have played the game for 21 hours and have completed 12 main missions and 15 Side Ops with a completion percentage of 16%. That's 15 Side Ops out of 150+..
Wait what is this? Does the day one update invalidate save games?

Do it because I can't.
Is there any chance you could walk over to the big old pre-load button for Steam and "trip" and just so happen to catch your fall with the button? I just need a couple hours man!
Seriously though, thanks for the update on release time!

lol. sweet.
I would if I didn't need to actually be at work tomorrow for an event. I'm going to be struggling not to call out this week. At least there's a long weekend coming up.
The deadzone on the PS4 is absurdly small. If you just touch the move stick snake moves. It needs a much bigger deadzone... and I can imagine some 2 year old sticks are going to have massive drifting problems.

Yeah, the best thing I can suggest is to do your best to make your peace with it. I haven't played it yet either... maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised. It's a shame, but it feels like open world trumping narrative direction is just... here to stay with the industry.

hey, are you able to comment on the xbox version of ground zeroes getting server errors for the last couple weeks and not getting the update to import save files

It can be wrong, but that's because updating release states is a manual process that has to be done at Valve's end. Situations like Alien, which released a day earlier than indicated, happen because the publisher changed its mind, not because the timer was wrong to begin with. Publishers not being able to change release states themselves is also why games don't release on weekends. TPP could very well end up unlocking at 12am ET as Peeler stated the other day, but that's entirely contingent on Konami informing Valve of the updated time, which it seemingly has yet to do.
SteamDB is a useful resource, but it isn't privy to any special information regarding release dates. It believes every app releases at 00:00 UTC and in rare cases doesn't even get the date right.
Edit: It appears that SteamDB recently nixed release times. Just the date is mentioned now.

My game is now fucked because of the new patch too. Stuck on loading forever after this new patch was installed. I got the game way before the release date thanks to SImplyGames and played up to 15 hours+ in, now the new patch has done fucked it up. Way to go Konami.
PS4 version, EU, btw.
PS4 version, EU, btw.
i'd call sick if game was downloaded, hope my download completes on wednesday, i'll call sick thursday
Same here man, but I'm trying to be responsible, lol. I hate Tuesday release dates.

There is a middle ground between something like MGS4, and the narrative that seems to be going around that Kojima has thrown storytelling under the bus for MGSV.
V is HEAVILY slanted towards gameplay. Far more so than any other game in the series. But the story is there. The game regularly drops you 1 to 3 minute long cassette tapes which expand upon a lot of the narrative. There are still cutscenes too. Sometimes you'll go a couple of hours of game time without seeing one, which admittedly is unheard of for Metal Gear Solid, but they will arrive and they are worth the wait. Some of the cutscenes in MGSV are right up there with anything else in the series. There's just more game going on between them.
