Ouch man. I assume you're playing from the disk version? It might be possible to activate the game on steam via the code, that way the game will get patched to the latest and least intrusive Rockstar Social Club.Amigastar said:
I just finished Metro 2033 Redux for the first time (though I've played through the original Metro 2033 3 times or so). Last Light will follow soon, though I'll probably play through something else in between.
I'm a big fan of the STALKER and Metro games... much moreso than any other shooters made in recent years. Nice way to see what my new PC can do too. The shooting is so solid and so tense (at least on Ranger mode, which is all I've ever played) that I could see a great Ghost Recon type game using this engine. Clearing rooms with NVGs and laser sighted silenced weapons is a fantastic experience, even though it's not really the base game.

An unfortunate aspect of excessive DRM. At this point, only GTA 4 making a GOG apperence will fix the DRM solution. Outside of a potential torrent version without Windows Live, which I wouldn't know about.Amigastar said:
Well it looks like we have a nice potential solution out there after all.ZombieProof said:
Based on the information avaliable, I had to assume the worse of another developer abandoning an older game and leaving a big problem behind.
That screenshot looks pretty sweet and immersive. Even from a 5inch smartphone.LookingGlass said:snip
Haven't got into the Metro games, but glad you enjoyed them. I plan on trying it again with the Redux version at some point.
yes, i have the Disk version which i had since release, gotta try the steam activation though, thx didn't know that it was possible.ZombieProof said:
Edit: didn't work unfortunately.
@-Jak-
tried that too
cough*Repack*Cough with no success so far.
Dammit, sorry man. Guess that only works with the episodesAmigastar said:yes, i have the Disk version which i had since release, gotta try the steam activation though, thx didn't know that it was possible.ZombieProof said:

Yea you pretty much only need like 10 or so guns. I stick with the first assault rifle and a silencer tranquilizer sniper rifle for most missions. And the first tranquilizer pistol, upgraded of course. The cheapest rocket launcher does the trick for most missions. Although the CGM is handy for more difficult targets. You of course need the high powered snipers and that's about it for guns. I think the huge amount of guns is largely for the PF ranking that scores you points towards certain rewards. And I do see how things like that can consume game budgets.Ezekiel said:
And yes, KP took it too far with making everything so expensive and time consuming to obtain. Whether it be R&D items, or base development. I feel Peace Walker was a much better designed game that took MGS to a near 50 hour experience without overdoing anything. While having more unique side ops like dates for instance. And looking at trophy data, not a whole lot of people got that far into MGSV before calling it quits. And that's a faliure on KP part.
Probably a cost saving measure to keep faces consistent with those you have on MB. Say a scene shows a female soldier, and you don't have any yet on MB.
While some people apparently found that boring repetiveness. Stuff like that never got old for me.
Ultimately if your a soldier in the field, you will pretty much be doing the same thing. Although much slower, since you won't be a bullet sponge with the speed of Usain Bolt.
Last Game I Beat: Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
Pros:
- Very different drawing style from many other countless Visual Novel likes game, which make worth the time you invest just by looking at it.
- The main Story/Theme of the game is well-made and enjoyable. Is a mix of Battle Royale [great movie/manga] and all well-known Court movies we all know.
- Gameplay also very unique: While you argue with others for clues/events/identity of the murderer, you "hit with bullets" some statements which are fault and correct them. Also playing other kind of mini games you make also you statement. My favourite is the game which you complete with images a Comics which tell the event of a murder.
- F*ckign good music yo!!! Every single moment in the game and especially in the Court battles are awesome!!!
- Nearly all the characters are very likeable and you will enjoy any minute with them. Plus because of that you will feel sorry for them...
- Love the f*cking Monokuma. It is an evil bastard as it should be.
- Despair. If you are not ready to feel sad and hollow inside by live the events of the game, then please don't play the game. It is the Dark Souls of Visual Novels. There is only despair for our characters.
- FANSERVICE and surprisingly some very suggestive/hot dialogs between some specific characters.
- Btw, you can go on a date or just hang arounf with other characters in your free time. Worth the time and give you some skills to make the game easier.
Finally, a NEW GAME PLUS!!! Worth your time playing it. Very different gameplay from the main game without saying much.
Cons:
- Do you like Anime? Yes? Do you like Anime when they Jump the Shark at some point? No? Then after few hours into the story, you will question the nature of this game like I did...Too Anime in other words
- Even if I like most characters......most of them are BRAINDEAD! Yes, I know some of them are like that to make you play the game, but come on, sometimes is not worth the time to correct stupid assholes who make a hollow argument.
- Sometimes the game is confusing of what kind of agrument you must present to counter a statement of other character.
- The Final murder case of the game start with a Very VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY stupid "mystery" to be solved. I won't spoiled of course, but you will notice it yourselfs as well.
- Not necessary a Negative, but as I said, despair is the main Theme of the game and it doesn't want to hide it at all. SOme people I am very sure will not feel confortable with this. Me too I feel liked this myself.
Conclusion
I am very happy I used my time to play this game. However at some point the plot of the game become as I said, "Too Anime" for my taste, so I was a little disappointed. But other than that, the unique art style, the interesting Theme, the likeable characters and unique gameplay will win you over.
8/10 - Very Good
Brilliant Shadows - Part One of the Book of Gray Magic
Surprisingly this Visual Novel is VERY enjoyable for a game made by Indie Developers. Enjoyable fun characters and fully voice over is a giant plus. Also Hektor. I freaking LOVE Hektor! Not only as a personality, but the way the voice actor deliver his lines. So funny every time I hearing him.
Its Theme you can say is like Harry Potter's Lore, but replace the wizards with Necromancers and Paladins working together to bring balance to the world of magic. Cool. Plus of course the story is very interesting and I love the main Hero. I hope it get better.
Finally don't worry just because it say "Part 1". Just see it like "Book 1". I think it take 6 hours to finish the game which is very good for its price.
I highly recommended for the few hours I played.
Beat Batman Arkham Knight and Wolfenstein The New Order. Loved both games. I can see the frustration with the overuse of the batmobile in some missions and in particular, a number of boss battles. Batman is more of a hands on investigator and fighter, than a soldier behind what is essentially a tank. I will say though that I feel BAK is the most complete Batman experience between Asylum, City, and Origins. And there's a number of interesting side missions you can do other than Riddler if he's not your thing.
Wolfenstein TNO is the first Wolfenstein game in the series I've played. Was going to play the last one, but I completely forgot about it. Anyways the alternative futuristic Nazi's and their highly advance technology, with a likable cast of characters and very wicked enemies. Made for a pretty rememberable experience. I would play it more to do Watt's timeline, but my GameFly subscription is just about up. And I don't have the time to play 16 chapters again in less than a week. Hope to play Old blood sometime later this year.

I'm still playing through Fallout 4's Survival mode beta. I'm never playing the game any other way ever again. I'd glommed over so many game play elements because the normal game's balance hinged so much on instant gratification. There's now a much greater weight to everything and the necessity of engaging a wider breadth of the game play elements has been greatly increased. It fills the void left by Stalker's post apocalyptic, open world shooter with RPG elements more now than it ever has. Even Fallout 4's whimsey takes on a more serious tone once you've lost an hour and a half of progress because of accidentally stepping on a landmine. That sleep-only save restriction really is the icing on the cake.
