PC Report: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

One thing to note is the NVIDIA-specific settings for ambient occlusion (http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Metal_Gear_Solid_V:_The_Phantom_Pain#Enable_HBAO.2B) - the implementation of AO in the game itself creates a dim/fuzzy halo effect around most geometry, most noticeable around Big Boss's legs.  Standing on a helipad, for example, with the shadow at about 5 o'clock, is where it's most visible.  The NVIDIA setting will remove this odd halo and bring in the needed ambient occlusion effect.

I didn't bother mentioning that seeing as I didn't really have any solutions for it. There are lot's of things I had to omit though as I had to write this in a whole day, I just wish my articles weren't fully re-written though, some informations have been removed but that's something I'll have to discuss with the wiki staff, I'm just dissapointed that I never have enough time in order to make these better, there are many things I would've liked to get into more detail, the current blog format is pretty terrible though and I can't showcase most examples in a clear manner, I had to scrap too many pictures because of this, that single benchmark is also crappy but I really had to hurry up, I can't really improve the article now though seeing as most people will never really see it ever again. I could always try to though but I don't see the point.

 

I'm just really dissapointed with the quality of this report, but there's not a whole lot I can do if I want things to be done in a timely manner.

 

There are many keyboard related issues which I really didn't have time to get too in depth either but meh.

 

I noticed that the effects setting can get pretty performance intensive later on, I just had no way of knowing that without the playing the game for a little longer, blah.

 

Oh I also wanted to mention how Metal Gear Solid V goes for those really sharp shadows, there's no options for any soft shadows which is kinda lame.

 

PS: I wish I could unlike the report, I cliked on that button accidentally. Didn't actually mean to.
