I find it funny how Artyom can be so unlucky, but then quite lucky as well.SinisterGehe said: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.
Yeah I stealthed around and through them expect the mandatory attack scenarios and some side-tracks that I explored. Tho after the few first extra spider tunnels I decided to skip them all. I didn't want to do anything extra with the fauna. And yes the surface and catacombs had bits which you could stealth. But I was so afraid of getting the fauna to attack me that I just - did everything to sprint through them.dvd_72 said:I find it funny how Artyom can be so unlucky, but then quite lucky as well.SinisterGehe said:Tho admittedly Artyom gets in to pickle bit too easily at times.

As for the beasties, I remember being able to stealth through quite a bit of it. A few are mandatory, but the option was sometimes there!
Actually in the books 2033 and 2034 they were mentioning that radio is unable to catch almost anythingKDR_11k said:I guess the "disregarding other cities" thing is just a result of the area around Moscow being so inhospitable that you have no realistic way of even checking what happened to the rest of the world. For all you know they could have turned Russia into a giant monster zoo while the rest of the world is fine and happy.
In a way, there is indeed something wrong with that: the wider scheme of Gamer entertainment dollar in a glutted gaming market.Moeez said:Is there anything wrong with that? Are we this cynical that 15 hours doesn't cut it for us? What's that magical game length for a $50 game? Games aren't meant to be long-time commitments, unless if they're MMOs. You had a great experience, that should be enough.geldonyetich said:I'll probably wait until it hits $30, 'cuz the trouble with these games is I play them once, am riveted for about 15 hours, but them I'm done with it forever.
Yes but at least in 2033 they had some variety and a more natural part of the game. In Last Light the boss fights felt very transparent and dull because most of them were arena fights against bullet sponges. It just felt lazy and shoved in because they needed to pad the game.ramboondiea said:gamegod25 said: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 ^^
you sure the first game didnt have boss fights? really? i seem to remember the tank section, arguably the black librarians, the nuclear ooze monster. gameplay wise this game is basically the same, but with a little bit more linearity in terms of completing the areas.
Public transport in Sydney Australia is actually quite good, they've almost finished phasing out the old trains and only have air conditioned trains, most of them are modern ones (Millenium/OSCAR/Warratah classes). Having said that there is room for improvement as far as how crowded it can get during peak hour, then again that's probably public transport everywhere.themilo504 said:Personally I kind of like public transport, does anybody know if public transport is better in the Netherlands compared Australia?
I live in Japan. Public transport is absolutely amazing.themilo504 said:Personally I kind of like public transport, does anybody know if public transport is better in the Netherlands compared Australia?
I did not expect that... I was expecting neo-communists, but not neo-nazis. Do they know that the old Nazis used to see them as sub-human and not worth the bullet cost? I will actually look more into this, thanks for the newserttheking said:Why Nazis? Because in reality Russia has the highest concentration of Neo-Nazis in Europe. In the book it's even mentioned that they descended from an IRL group.karamazovnew said:snip
My memory is a bit foggy so I could be wrong, but from what I remember the book stated that there was a gas leak in that section of the metro, which caused depression, hallucinations and with prolonged exposure - death (ofcourse the characters don't know that and the readers only find out after its finished).Akichi Daikashima said:And I too, felt that the supernatural elements lost a crap-ton of meaning when they actually happened to be true and not ambiguous, ie: when Artyom was proceeding to Riga station both in the game and in the novel, it was never explained whether it was other-wordly powers that caused everyone to die/go insane, which built up the tension and made the Metro seem like a creepier place.
I'm pretty sure (at least as far as the book goes) its not Artyom who is psychic, its the monsters communicating with him who are psychic. Except they don't control their psychic abilities very well and instead of saying "Hello we come in peace everybody" they make everybody panic.Akichi Daikashima said:But in Last Light, and in 2033(the book) too, they decided to say "Oh, there ARE ghosts in the Metro, Artyom IS psychic", which killed the suspense and mystery somewhat.
