Metro Exodus

Just found out myself yesterday.... You should try them if you like this genre.

Go!
Do!
Now!

As am I!

The Metro is (mostly) directly under old Moscow. That would have been a target for any nuclear attack, which means the surface there would be a radioactive ground zero.
According to YELOVV this plays out in Povolzhye (ПОВОЛЖЬЕ - Volga region), and if thats true, then as you can see that is far away from anything that would be a target, hence no bombs, hence no radioactive fallout in the air. At least, that's my uneducated guess on the unverified info at hand.

They have to do something like this if we are going to be above ground for the whole game. The short sections above ground before kept the tempo up by forcing you to change filters and at the same time only giving you so many - you had to be quick overground or you dieded from your own breathing, not to mention the monsters. That sort of forced tempo increase will not work in a full game played out overground, much to stressful and rather boring too.

Go read. Use small light in the dark...

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games are good in their own right, but they are rather different from the Metro games. But I guess they'll need a bit of both to make it work. We'll see next year, eh?

I agree, brilliant because it's probably one of the ways bartering would work in world like that, and it stopped players from concentrating on hoarding/upgrading the shit out of every piece of hardware - you had to carefully choose your weapon(s) of choice, and their upgrades.

And they did another thing that I really liked - the way the flashlight worked. This is a pet peeve of mine in other shooters; it doesn't really matter how high tech the game is pretending to be, flashlight batteries still suck though. Flashlights go off and have to recharge at ridiculous intervals, without any real reason for it. Any battery driven flashlight would easily last a lot longer.
But in Metro, that beautiful if-you-want-it-you-need-to-build-it-yourself world, the flashlight is literally a dynamo, at the same time bringing in the weakening-light dynamic into the game, and explaining really good why the light expires so fast. But you could keep it up the whole time, if you pumped that dynamo frequently. Loved the thinking behind that small thing.

Oh my dear icaio....

You of all people are most welcome to join!

My condolences.

So I should wait a few years when it will be on steam with -90% promo?

I am completely agree with you! this game really gave me a headache! and I'm glad that I stopped playing it! whatever they had in Metro series, they completely lost it! also the gameplay did not improved over these years! you still can't peak out when you take cover behind something and try to lean over or blindly shoot, the response time for changing weapons and switching between them is super slow and kinda stupid! also still you can not interact with dropped bodies and try to move or hide them so guards won't notice! using map thanks the devs now completely covers your screen when there was no need to change the way it was before ! their engine was definitely designed for indoor environments and absolutely is not optimized for open and wide areas! caz when you get to the open the frame drops like hell ! they also don't let you skip so called cutscenes and they force you to listen to their explaining over and over conversations! and the funny thing is they count it as a good gesture from you and it has an impact to the ending too, since you have to wait and listen to everyone who talks to you! even if it's boring and stupid. and when you are using night goggles every 1 minute you need to keep an eye on it and recharge it :) stroywise at least in previous games there were some memorable characters and moments, but in this one! when the guy i don't even recall his name died in that train mission I was like who the hell was he ?! when did i ever meet him !? also the main character is still mute! and just speaks during loading screens. so yeah this game was super over hyped and when I switched to Far Cry New Dawn, I found out how an FPS should be and really enjoying playing missions over and recapture outposts with my friend in coop! the game is also optimized awesomely and it runs great!

Ouch, that was a scathing review. QTEs? That's disappointing. Guess I should watch some review videos soon.
It looks like I'll be waiting for a deep discount on this one before giving it a go.

Thanks for the in-depth heads up.

i found this game to be a great improvement over the previous metros. it still has annoying and stupid stuff, but it was also in metro 2033 and last light.

QTEs in this game aren't even comparable to the awful ones found in games like resident evil, tomb raider, or telltaletrashgames. they only require you to press E (the action button) once, and they never catch you offguard.
they are still unnecessary since they require you to interact, but i'd rather have 500 of these than 1 telltale walking dead.

you must also hate dying light if you dislike ingame cinematics so much. :3

Are we here to talk about how much hate we have toward the Dev and Epic launcher ?
