It is impossible to interact with the main menu using the mouse, but that’s a minor inconvenience at best. There is an option to lock the framerate at 30 FPS if needed. All of this is even without going into the options once to alter anything! The pre-set options the game set for my setup worked incredibly well for optimization. Maybe there was extra shrubbery on screen and I didn’t notice, but these moments were brief and very infrequent.Įven the cutscenes, which run in-engine, are at a constant 60 frames per second. I did experience a few moments where the framerate was brought down to around 30, although there was no clear indication as to why. Ground Zeroes runs at a smooth 60 frames per second about 95% of the time. It’s almost hard to believe how great this PC port is. Tested on: Intel i7-4770k 3.50 GHz, 8GB of RAM, GeForce GTX 560 Ti GPU It’s easy to recommend this title to pretty much anyone, since it’s proven to capture the hearts of newbies like Jordan and myself, while being a great enough overall experience to satisfy long-term fans. It was thoroughly enjoyable, largely because of how smooth it was.

In fact, like Jordan, this was my first Metal Gear Solid experience. Well, coming out of retirement, Kojima and company have stepped up to the plate and hit a home run! The last Metal Gear game to hit our Home Computers was over a decade ago, so they aren’t anything to go off of, either. Revengeance had a decent port, but that was done by Platinum. It’s hard to know what a PC port of a Metal Gear Solid game will look like in 2014.
