Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain - Official thread

[Avatar]

Here's a cool story:

I bought a Gigabyte HD5450 gpu for my wife's PC so that she can use two screens to work on. It cost R480. Takealot was kind enough to slip a MGSV:Phantom Pain steam code in with the card. I'm pretty sure that's a promotion for NVidia high-end cards, but I'll take the freebie. I've never played a MGS game and I've heard this one's awesome so maybe it's a good place to start.

That's not high-end nor nVidia..

That's why it's a mildly interesting story.

I got a R600 game meant to be supplied with expensive NVidia cards for free with a R480, AMD video card. Maybe I'm alone in this but I thought it was a pretty awesome mistake.

It is, I'm seriously considering a new HD5450 now..

Just, where to put it...

Hehe, indeed.

I reckon a careless supervisor told the packers to "put these free codes with the expensive graphics cards" and the packer didn't have an idea of the price range of GPUs. It's unlikely to happen again. Although, If you order now, you might be lucky enough to get the same packer making the same mistake before it's rectified

I have been playing ground zeroes again and I must say the hard difficulty really is challanging.The ai are really sharp and are aware they see for miles and can hear a pin drop from 50 meters.
