It turns out if you play on Reader difficulty you can run out of bounds in Volga by going back down the train tracks before the radiation kills you. I found the edge of the world and two t-posing people I don't recognise, only one of whom can be repeatedly stabbed.

Just to make sure I’m not accidentally driving myself crazy a workbench is the only place to repair the mask right? I’m in the eel tunnels and my mask is 1 hit away from breaking. I’m reloading every time I get a hole because I don’t see anyway to keep going.

If your mask breaks you can put a bandaid over the hole by pressing 'g'.

That would have been a very useful thing to know 15 minutes ago, game!

It was tutorialised in the intro level. Your mask unavoidably breaks when you're thrown into the pit

Well despite that little hiccup got through to the end. Got the good ending. Blind kind-of psychic gorillas were neat though it seemed like the psychic part was just so they could whisper creepily. Didn’t seem to react much to cans or me walking on broken glass either but still, neat. I do miss the bullet economy and more overt supernatural elements the previous games had but Exodus still turned out excellent. Probably because if that I think the end of the game was much stronger than the beginning. The open world levels were fine but when they narrowed things down in Taiga and then even further in the final level it almost feels like a shame we couldn’t have had more game like that. Guess we’ll have to see if the DLC is any good. Can’t say Last Light’s was all that great, with the exception of the scavenging one.

I have mixed feelings on the bullet economy being gone. I always thought it was conceptually cool but in practice not that fun. It usually just resulted in me not upgrading guns as much as I wanted to.

I think it was most useful as a world building/atmosphere thing. In 2033 and Last Light I don’t think I ever had to use military ammo in my gun or worry about not buying things but it made things a bit more unique than they would be otherwise.

The problem I had with the bullet economy in last light is when you hit the sequence with the people stuck in a bandit attack on the rails there is a merchant who will buy all guns, so if you go out kill all the bandits and sell their guys whilst keeping yours on the floor you walk away with 3k + mgr so you can just face roll the end of the game in ammo that sets things on fire for reasons.

Just got the game and I've just finished the tutorial section. So far so good. Feels good to be back in the dead desolate world of Metro (though this game seems to breathe a lot of new life into the setting which is good)

Consoles got a patch today improving on the input lag and load times. It’s actually quite an improvement on Xbox.

Yeah actually I have no recollection of my mask breaking and getting told to band-aid it in the initial area either. Maybe there's a relatively easy way to miss it, by avoiding damage or something?

I had my mask break during the tutorial, got the prompt, and never ever had it happen again. Although that’s likely because I clean everything up to 100% whenever I’m at workshops and visit them often.

Yep I had that in the tutorial as well and the never again. Is it ok to shoot the pirates in the swamp? I got there at daytime and sneaking around is a huge pain in the rear end.

Although that’s likely because I clean everything up to 100% whenever I’m at workshops and visit them often. Same. It's in the outdoor area right before you find the train parked iirc. I'm almost sure it was unavoidable because I snuck through there without taking damage. I don't remember the context of what breaks your mask though. Now that I think about it, I actually did have my mask break once in the putrid tunnel and I died because I couldn't remember what button to use to tape it. ultimateforce posted:It’s criminal there’s not more buzz about this game. Agreed. Total Goty contender and barely anyone seems to be talking about it. Even on the forums. I thought it would at least be a goon darling and no one in the general threads even seem to be playing it. I really hope it picks up word of mouth because you can tell so much work and passion went into it. It deserves better. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 00:01 on Mar 5, 2019 |

I just want to shoot everything and I dislike that there is a morality system in place here. Just let me go full darkside without getting X ending

But that was before I met the fishing guy that asks you not to, so that might have some impact.

Both endings are good but only one of them is a "Good" ending. If you feel Artyom is on a sociopathic murderfest then go whole hog. The morality system is literally just "Are you a bastard?" system put in place to keep track of how trigger happy you are. I mean normally I will even let bandit assholes live if they beg me to but the Canibals all had to die and I spent every bullet I could to ensure nothing in that base was left alive. Let the game dictate your actions by what you feel not what ending you want. I absolutely spared every single Librarian. They are just hungry critters and I am made of meat.

Some good pics of my two favorite characters in this game.   Also, the grail poster  I just got out of Taiga. The next mission with Miller seems from the beginning that it’s going to be completely bad rear end. I did not like Taiga much though. They give you this rad new weapon and then you can’t really kill anyone but a small handful of bandits. I feel like they should’ve had the swamp area with the boat be bandits instead of pirates, it would’ve made the progression of that level feel much more complex. There was one specific jump scare in a cave near the main Children’s camp involving a large crawdad hiding in a small pool of water that just about destroyed me. loving hell if you know the one.

You aren’t meant to spare those guys in the first place. It’s designed as a shooty setpiece.

The game giving you some of the coolest weapons near the end and not giving you ample chance to use them was frustrating. Made me wish there was a NG+ option so I could actually use the crossbow for a while and fire the(you haven't got this yet) bb railgun more than 10 times. And indeed the next mission is extremely badass.

The explosive bolts do not explode. I wanted hardcore retropunk Rambo level explosive bolts. Like big dirty boom mangle a whole room.

Finished, got the good ending (which seems easy enough if you follow the explicit "Don't kill these guys" warnings). Peters off a little towards the end with some lousy bosses and an endgame that was "press W for a while to see what happens next" for periods, but I enjoyed it a great deal. It's the first Metro game I've finished, I always lost interest for one reason or another with the previous ones. I think I just prefer Exodus's STALKER-lite setup broken up by setpieces.

Also just finished. Definitely a flawed masterpiece. gently caress the last boat sequence. Artyom the sewer worm janitor, ugh. Not difficult just annoying and slow. Also I’m a little mad at getting the shambler and then the good bits for the shambler so dang late in the game.

The Shambler is available as soon as you get to the desert.

I like manually reloading the open 5 round drum on the Shambler. It looks so cool even though it’s so sloe. I definitely agree about the final sequences, while the last parts in the boat and water were extremely nerve wracking and like nothing I’ve ever seen before, they were a bit too much slime. I was def a janitor of tunnel slug clearing. Then, the institute had about 6 monsters to one-shot with the rail gun and bam you’re done. The good ending was still beautiful. Some images along the way:

yeah i didn't like the contrived gameplay structure of the last city at all. but the opening walk through the frozen ruins up top and the opening exploration of its underground metro tunnels--the piecing together of the events--was an incredible experience.

Ya that one got me good too. Did anyone else (minor taiga spoilers) play guitar for the crazy crippled admiral until he fell asleep? Good guy Artyom can be pretty chill

I too lulled the admiral with sweet tunes.Kibayasu posted:You don’t get the 20 round box until the dead city but you can find the 10 round magazine in the desert. Ugh, missed the mag in the desert somehow. I actually found it in the dead city, after I had the box. But I mean yeah you get the shambler early in the desert in crappy form, and by the end of the desert it’s usable, but honestly by then a lot of your fighting is done (I killed the bandits in the forest with the crossbow because obviously that’s what you must do).
