I want to recommend this game but in it's current state I just can't.

Frame rate is an absolute mess on high end hardware, optimization is a joke, crashes are frequent, stuttering makes it unplayable.

Will change my review if they ever fix this mess.

****EDIT****

Since the recent patches and updating to the latest nvidia driver it seems to have fixed the performance issues.

Darktide is an awesome gameplay loop with satisfying PVE combat and tons of replay-ability.

Playing with 1 or more friends only enhances this already fun experience. Whether you're a Warhammer 40k lore guru or new to the story like I am there's a lot of fun to be had.

It's not a dumpster fire anymore but it's still not as great as fallout 3. Still, it's fallout with friends, can't complain too much. Solid 6.5 out of 10, bethesda as a company however 2 out of 10.

It's doom, you know damn well what you're getting.

Just f*** off Take Two. Konami themselves are less pety you anti consumer bas***ds.

I'm not addicted! I can stop whenever I want!

I do recommend Grid Autosport with a few hesitations. The graphics are stunning, the car models are great and the game is for the most part very well optimized for most mid to high end systems. The controls are very well executed, they feel smooth and responsive.

Unless you're a hardcore racing purest I'd say pass this one up since you have no ability to choose and customize your own vehicle, they're preselected for you based on the sponsor you choose before entering into a season. The other part that bothered me significantly is that when you are leading a race your opponents appear to gain a significant speed boost and they easily overtake you and speed off into the distance as if you're standing still. The only way to midigate this issue is to turn down AI difficult which will actually impact the amount of xp you earn. If buying through steam I highly discourage it since Grid Autosport is not worth $40+ instead pick it up cheap on sites like ♥♥♥♥♥ etc then I recommend it as a fun and addicting time sink for a few days until you grow tired of it.

I'm a huge Metal Gear Solid fan but I was skeptical about the port to steam since, let's face it, many console ports haven't made a smooth transition to pc as of late but Kojima definitely ensured a quality port that actually ends up feeling like its native platform was pc to begin with.

Mouse and keyboard support is spot on! the keys are mapped in a very intuitive way, keys are also stream lined so that several keys share different functions rather than having to contort a finger reaching for some ridiclous punctuation key. Most console ports have been plagued with mouse smoothing (which can't be disabled in some cases) but right from the get-gp the mouse is precise and responsive, unfortunately there is no mouse support in the menus but meh, that's really a small nit pick.

Anyone complaining that Ground Zeroes doesn't pack a lot of content is sorely mistaken. The main campaign takes at least an hour for skilled players to complete on normal difficulty (far more if you try to accomplish challenges and play on hard difficulty) plus there is a slew of side missions. All in all this "demo" as people call it can easily run you 30 to 40 hours of gameplay, which isn't too shabby for the price.

Either way Ground Zeroes accomplishes what it sets out to do in the first place: It makes me want Metal Gear Solid 5 The Phantom Pain far more than I already did to begin with so hurry the **** up already Kojima! I want more!!
