There's the other part about "hard to make jokes about." He's been positive about games before, but if he can't crack wise it's not really a ZP game, is it?Copper Zen said:

I recommend this game to everyone, seriously it is amazing and the story is, not amazing but good. But the environment really make sup for it, if you immerse yourself to the situation and place you realize how grim and sad it really is.
Tho admittedly Artyom gets in to pickle bit too easily at times. But still my favorite character in a videogame series in a LOOOONG FUCKING TIME!
ALso the stealthing is great fun. Tho I hated the bits where there was any kind of animal life against you, it was just batshit insane, creepy and unpleasant. I sprinted through them fast as I could.
But if you really want to understand the story and the stakes play metro 2033 and then this, then you realize more about the stakes at the end.
Also this is the only game where I have seen boobs with nipples on them that have been normal and displacement mapped. Oh and you can pay for strippers to wave them to you in great detail. That should get at least few people to play the game.

I don't thank the driver when I get off the bus because it makes no sense. Once you're on, there's no question that you'll be getting off. I have many times, on the other hand, been passed by by a bus I was waiting for. So I thank the driver when I get on.
True the subtitles don't seem to match up at some places, but you can get the gist of what they are saying. It is too bad the bystanders don't get subtitles, but i do get it. There is just too much going on at once.Matthi205 said:
I am Dutch, and only understand a few words Russian. But it was way more fun for me than to put in on English with those horrible fake accents.
Couldn't understand the things some of the bystanders where saying, but didn't really care.
Fun fact: The Moscow metro was built deeper then any other metro to withstand nuclear attack. The metro locks down in the case of nuclear attack, has independent power generators and is equipped with air filters and other measure that prevent collapse and flooding.
Other metros would not be an ideal place to hide in a post apocalyptic hell scape, as the air comes straight from the outside, and the whole thing will flood if the power is cut for more then a week.

I could only play the first one for about half an hour before I got sick of the whole ammo = money thing.
You did realise you weren't meant to shoot the military rounds, right? You can buy the dirty rounds for a reason. Sure, they suck compared to the proper stuff but its better to buy shit bullets then to blaze through the good ones and find yourself penniless with a dry AKcanadamus_prime said:
Yes, but the mechanic still didn't make much sense. Besides was ammunition the only thing these people could think of to use as currency after the bomb hit? They couldn't have used something like, oh I don't know, bottle caps?Sean Kay said:
Well, bullets are useful and presumably relatively plentiful in the alternative Metro universe. It's about as logical a choice of currency as they were going to get, other than maybe rat sausage or cigarettes.canadamus_prime said:
I never really noticed that big of a quality difference in the ammunition, myself. I mostly stuck to shotgun shells, though.
What irked me the most about the game is the inclusion of what can only be called boss fights. The first game didn't have any and that was perfectly fine by me. Instead this time you get locked in an area and not allowed to leave until the monster is dead. This resulted in some controller throwing during one fight because I happened to be down to my last air filter and I kept suffocating before rather than dying to the actual boss. Oh and did I mention all the bosses take an entire armory of bullets to put down? And that this is is a game about scrounging and saving supplies so ammo is always scarce? And that one boss you have to fight twice in a row with only a short tunnel between arenas and barely any supply pickups? So...yeah :/
The atmosphere and detail to the world is absolutely fantastic, the core gameplay is still solid and fun, but it gets bogged down by issues like that mentioned above. Give it a rent at the very least ^^

I really want to see that now. The fact METRO got released at all is proof the game industry still has some imagination at all and has room to get better.Mr. Q said:

Except that you need the bullets to shoot the monsters.Muspelheim said:
