GTA V Realism - No Mods Required

A stroll through the late afternoon/dusk/early nighttime world of GTA V PC, showing how life-like the sights and sounds of the game can be. Filmed entirely in 1st person, nothing to break the realistic ambiance & atmosphere. Standard GTA V PC, no mods or filters. Settings below.

The first time I played this game I just walked around the streets to soak in the atmosphere. This is the most immersive game ever created in my opinion. By the way, if you use a gamepad you can use the analog sticks to walk and make smooth camera movements for more immersion (but in that case the video would probably be 1 hour long :D).

Why do you use "Soft" value of "Soft Shadows" rather than "NVIDIA PCSS" or something like that?
