No it's not but expected. "But to this day I wonder: When we burned the Dark Ones from the face of the earth, was something lost as well..."?@@youhavenoprivacyandownnoth8289
i don't think any human being would experience the other ending if this were a real situation.. Artyom pretty much avoids the dark ones the entire game, most people probably interpreted the visions as the dark ones attempts at brainwashing artyom. I can't imagine a person destroying the machine as it counts down and embracing their peace offering so abruptly. i understand there is a book involved etc, but this ending is the most practical. Don't feel too bad if you got this ending :p
Brian Cha And for some reason I thought this was the good ending when I saw it , lol ! I would have definitely done the same in Artyom's position (in this ending) so I wasn't disappointed or feel bad for getting it. :)
This is the ending that actually matches with the book. The other ending is just an alternate one that isn't actually supposed to happen. I just see it as a little bonus ending if you want to see it but it's not the one that makes the most sense.
I believe Metro 2033's endings are much more ambiguous than good or bad. Peace may have been the Dark Ones intentions all along but it doesn't change the fact that they caused geniune destruction and posed a very real threat to VDNKh and the Metro as a whole. The ''good'' ending glosses over the fact that the Dark Ones don't understand WHY humans want to kill them and the consequences their actions bring. On the other end, while the ''bad'' ending safeguards humanity from the Dark Ones, it doesn't safeguard humanity from others, equally dangerous threats, like the Anomalies, the Mutants, the Radiation or simply their fellow humans waging war. And Artyom was right, by destroying the Dark Ones, the humans doomed the Dark Ones potential to oblivion.
I agree that the endings are pretty ambiguous. I don't like calling them "good" and "bad" endings. I either call them the "normal" and "alternate" endings or the "Ranger" and "Enlightened" endings because I think those titles fit better
Well Khan did say that good and bad depended on perspective in a lot of cases , Artyom decimated the dark ones before he could understand them , Khan said he should understand things before making judgement. I think 2033's main point was to show artyom's rise with its mistakes and him being a bit of an erratic young kid at the end , he's only 20. They didn't do a good job at posting the dark ones as clear good guys , at the very end you might get the feeling that they're somewhat altruistic and the flashback to the better times at the gardenn was a happy light but all in all , their mental interventions will bother the player a lot , they will feel hostile , specially if its your first time playing the game.
I actually like this version of the canon ending the most. If you do all the good tasks enough so that you wake with the countdown remaining, *and* the dark one basically begging with his dying breath that we don't understand, then the choice to proceed makes Artyom more evil than saving the Dark Ones in those final moments. Here you are acting in complete self defense and lose agency over stopping the missiles, thus rendering if Artyom would have wanted to spare them or not, moot. You can rationalize here that even if Artyom believed in their peaceful intentions, others above him did not. As well as how many grieving families are left behind through the conflict albeit misunderstood when interacting with the Dark Ones and the horrifying way they operate. They are like radiation. Not evil, but the byproduct of being near them seems to be bad for most people. Artyom being the man who needed Chemo in this case.
This is a "bad" ending? I think it's good. This was Artyom's mission and him sitting there relaxing, watching everything he worked hard for actually happening couldn't have been a better ending.
Chest Pec Respect Yes is a bad ending, beacuse th dark ones is the last hope of people in metro. Dark want's to live with people and fix the world. Thats why the dark ones choose Artiom.
Chest Pec Respect Because by novel the Dark Ones want a peace with people from Metro.Game is based on the book.So... People lost a best chance to rebuild the mankind. Sry for bad English xDD
Kwas Kwasiński Well this was my reaction before the novel and playing Metro LL.. As far as the game as a stand alone goes, this was the most satisfying ending.
Dunno i feel bad when i see this. Beacuse of fear of things that we don't understand, rest of mankind do the same kind of annihilation like during WW3 in metro reality. Is just like endless loop of hatred, kill and sorrow. But i respect you feelings about it. For me the best is novel beacuse is more emotional and reflective. Game is awesome but you now is game so the most important is too create good gameplay atmosphere
Even if you haven't read the book or played Last Light, it is still heavily implied throughout this game that The Dark Ones were actually peaceful and not trying to kill the humans. I do agree that the "Ranger" ending is better, even though it kills them, because it makes more sense and also ties into the book's ending and with the story of Last Light.
This is the best ending to any game ever. I haven't played the good ending, but I'm totally satisfied with this one. In the end, it all comes down to one last FPS moment in slow motion-totally perfect. Wish ME3 had this.
Because the Dark Ones were protecting humans from monsters and trying to warn them. Humans just assumed they were leading the monsters because Dark Ones always seemed to show up when monsters attacked but they were trying to help us. Dark Ones are humans who survived the nuclear war outside of the shelters but were so mutated they could not communicate with us. They had to try using their psychic powers to talk to us, which more often than not just drove people crazy.
Yes! But seriously there isn't a concrete answer about the Dark Ones, even less in the game. Just because they say they wan't peace doesn't absolve them of the fact that they are killing humans, and did try to kill Artyom. They can also screw with a humans mind. In the book is a bit more clearer that they wanna help humanity but even so they clearly state that humanity must be reeducated and that they were killing humans because they feared us and had no way to communicate.
This is the closer ending to the book of the two endings. Metro 2034 goes into a completely different story but metro 2035 is the story of metro last light
Styopa, Boris and 2 other unknowns from the order gave their lives for Artyom to destroy the blacks, and it would be stupid if he ended up doing such nonsense
The Dark Ones can communicate with Artyom without destroying his mind. Anyone else they contact or even get close to gets turned into a vegetable. They wanted him to be an "ambassador" of sorts between their race and Humanity. They wanted to help Humanity out of the Metro in exchange for their affinity for technology, something the Dark Ones lost when they became a hive minded race of psychics.
Because they wanted peace. We just couldn't understand. Until it was too late. They only fought us to defend themselves when WE attacked first. Even Artyom thought his actions might have been wrong as evidenced here. They were only hostile because we attacked them before they could even try and make us understand. It's all in the novel, which has a similar ending accept Artyom understands the Dark Ones intentions, but cannot stop the missiles in time to save them.
I haven't read the book, but I just finished the game. At first I saved them, feeling like I did the right thing. THen... I realized what hypocrisy it was to let them live while they themselves started the whole damn thing by slaughtering our people in unprovoked attacks. So I went back just to spite them and chose differently; I killed off the Dark Ones with absolutely no remorse whatsoever. The whole plot was that we needed help to defend ourselves from the Dark Ones as THEY were attacking our station. And then they had the balls to try to guilt-trip us into both feeling sorry for them and feeling ashamed of our own actions. "We want peace".. bullshit. Tell that to the good guards and people of the stations you killed. "Bad ending"? Pah! I'd call it the genuine "you reap what you sew, bitches"-ending. This time, humanity really were the good guys and no amount of saccharine soul-searching slush can convince me otherwise.
Or that Artyom isn't the killing machine he is in the game. He kills 2 people (altough 1 is arguable) and a couple of mutants and spends most of the book being nothing more then a glorified messenger. To be fair he is shown to be capable but he just doesn't get the chance because he is busy hallucination/having vision, getting captured, trying to survive anomalies, being surrounded by badass people who do all the work and generally just being an observer as opposed to a participant.
There are two endings, this is bad compared to the "good" ending. And this "HAD" to be done? Do you remember Khans speech about how one must do more than act without any thought or doubt? If not go replay the game and try to see things from a new angle. Also play Last light if you haven't already, will help you see things the other way even more.
I remember the first playthrought, this last mission was very cool. Especially the part running up to the tower itself (the tower is just one big quicktime event... but nice views). I finally understood why I was saving all those military grade rounds (ok I actually used the vast majority in D3 killing the goo bomb spawners). But the labyrinth event. Man, when I finally got to the end and the Dark One showed himself and I had a gun in my hand. I did not even think, I did not hesitate for a SINGLE moment, I unloaded the full magazine into it even as it was falling to the ground. It was pure hate, it is not us, its existence offends me. The lessons of hunter were nothing compared to the INSTINCT guiding my left finger at that point. I did not even blink as I tracked the missiles from the horizon to the hive. We will reclaim this world by fire and sword!
In the novel of Metro 2033 Arytom realized the truth of the Dark Ones intentions that they were just trying to have peace with the humans but they accidentally killed them (the humans) because they have no way to communicate with them but get bombarded anyway
@negi358 they are not. There are a few passages in the game where they save you. Plus, they tried to communicate telepathcly to the humans, as they have no proper mouth. But most human minds where to weak for telepathy(could have been explained a little more obvious in the game, i admit) and they went mad and/or died. In the book artjom realizes they where not evil, but he only realized it shortly before the missles hit the dark ones.
@matafenomeno99 Because if you do the good ending you find out they only wanted peace and theyre attempts to communicate with humans is what makes them go insane.
I like it when dark endings are the cannon, it's sad yeah but it's rare to see decent games like this, most likely in the next one we'll encounter the odd surviving dark one but that's it really, their race died, if we see them it'll be an easter egg really.
@trrs96 Actually that is NOT how you get this ending. First off, after black station in that vision, DO NOT run from the dark one. Secondly, when traveling to D6, GO WITH the dark one. P.S. The dark ones say they only want to bring peace.
Thank you, thought I was the only one didn’t know it was a glitch xD I didn’t get to see the ending and had no idea why, just cut out and goes to a loading screen instead of showing the cinematic xD
Why didn't the Dark Ones use their telekinisis or something to blow the missiles up over the base? Maybe because they didn't want humans to hate them even more.
metro last light is based of metro 2034 and 2033 book ended with artyom killing teh dark ones and relising they wanted to be bros right after he kills them and the good ending for 2033 was only optional if u got enough good moral points
nope the dark ones have been trying to help humans the whole game the visions you have through the whole game, those are the dark ones trying to contact you and tell you they are here to help not kill, and all the humans they have killed just died because of injury not by dark ones but by the monster things(been so long since ive played the game) or from going insane because of the dark ones trying to contact them
Its a tough one to say, I mean from my point of view these mutants have gone on a rampage for a long time killing loads of people, there chasing after you trying to knock you off towers and murder you through out most of the game.. soon as there whole base is about to blow up they say they want peace... should of tryed a bit harder.
If you read the book, then you know that the Dark Ones are good and DO want to bring peace. The ending is slightly different though. Artyom realizes that in tha last moment, but there is nothing he can do. The Missiles strike, Artyom takes off his gas mask, crying and head back home.
i got this ending on the redux except after u hear" homing procedure complete" or whatever , i got the achievement and it took me to the menu, no cutscene or nothing😐.
Why the hell don’t I get this last scene? i’ve replayed the ending 3 times now, I kill the dark one, wake up from the mental battle and hear the last 2 lines, after it goes dark after "arytom the missiles are in flight" it goes to a loading screen. Says press the options button to continue and goes straight to sitting at the desk with options chapters new game and continue...
@trrs96 Actually, you sort of spare its life. Get your facts right. In stead of shooting it to death in the vision, you shoot very slowly, hear its pleas, and the vision will cut out to the Dark on the ground, next to the sde, still begging for Artyom to spare them. That's when you shoot the homing beacon.
I dunno if this ending could be considered bad or good... Sure the dark ones may have only been trying to communicate, but they accidently killed people by doing so. Artyom was doing what was required to save the people of his home metro since if left alive the dark ones would continue their attempts of communication and then become hostile as the humans fired upon them. Just my opinion though.
the only problem is that Smerch rockets are not that powerful. Instead of these 3 rockets that seem to have small nuclear warheads there should've been a multi-rocket smerch barrage and the dark ones' base should've been smaller i guess. That's canon in the books
This is the ending for the book, unfortunately. I was curious since I don't have the game and wanted to know the if an alternative ending was possible and the game had a choice for that. The book definitely provides more focus on the details and less on a game play experience . Read the book, all 458 pages is worth it!
I got this ending because it seemed like no other was offered to me. I mean, the dark ones are just killing everyone, how are they justified? I don't see them with any peace offering, they say one thing then melt your mind. Plus the game mechanic was confusing and vague, I just completed the mission objectives, I tried not killing the dark one but that just lead to him killing me each time and there was no intereact on the guidence system. deff not a clear cut choice mechanic.
Thanks for posting. I never completed the first metro..I don’t recall why. Last night I purchased redux and exodus. I can now skip this game as I have seen both endings now. Looking forward to the next two games. Honestly, I would have killed the dark ones as well.
Because the Dark ones are not the bad guys, they just look like them. They are Humans that survived the Nuclear war, but got heavily mutated, that they resorted to communicate through telepathy because they were unable to speak normally. Sadly, their attempt to talk to other humans caused the humans to go crazy and oftenly die, unlike Artyom. They wanted to warn and protect the humans from the mutants, but they couldnt explain it. Out of characters here, sorry.
Maybe the dark ones wasnt evil, but mutants were evil. Maybe some of dark ones were evil the same as humans. not all are the bad ones. this game makes you to think about a lot of things.
from ones point of view it is a good or bad ending my 1st play through i got this one my next one i got the other and either way you bring peace so its all about viewpoint. and i think the dark ones deserved this for attacking human settlements in the 1st place
"The book definitely provides more focus on the details and less on a game play experience". Well, obviously a book isn't going to focus "on a game play experience", it's a goddamn book.
@KevinZS its not about if they bad or not..... if some kind on earth is smarter or stronger then humans then humans are lost..... look at the simple example.... animals.... some kinds of animals are pretty smart but still the humans hold them in cages... if some one is stronger then humans we going to join the animals
Yes, but only the first one. And I'm still sceptic. But even if they were good and wanted peace, the game was separate from the novel. You do not have to read the book to play. The dark ones from the game did not do anything to be authentic to me. I live in metro (as Artem) and my station has fallen from the invasion of the dark ones. All my friends are dead or captured by the dark ones. They bring insane and tried kill me in the end of the game. If they are inteligent they could be also sneaky.
I wanted this ending because A) It is much more logical B) Fits the book ending better C) It fits the start of Metro: The last light
and its fun?
No it's not but expected.
"But to this day I wonder: When we burned the Dark Ones from the face of the earth, was something lost as well..."?@@youhavenoprivacyandownnoth8289
i don't think any human being would experience the other ending if this were a real situation..

Brian Cha And for some reason I thought this was the good ending when I saw it , lol ! I would have definitely done the same in Artyom's position (in this ending) so I wasn't disappointed or feel bad for getting it. :)
Brian Cha I tried to shoot the dark one in the head after he tried to knock down the laser, he died right before i shot and my bullet hit the lase -_-
This is the ending that actually matches with the book. The other ending is just an alternate one that isn't actually supposed to happen. I just see it as a little bonus ending if you want to see it but it's not the one that makes the most sense.
Isn't this one "Canon" anyway?
DeathMonkeys yeah, the sequel happens after this ending so the other one never happened
I believe Metro 2033's endings are much more ambiguous than good or bad.

Dude how could I know he was ''good''? He looked kinda hostile to me. Also he said DESTROY HIM!!! Destroy me? HELL NO!
exactly like bruh get rekt dark ones at the end lol maybe i should try reading the book
This is the correct ending by the book version of the dark ones since their definition of "peace" was humanity as mind controlled slaves.
I actually like this version of the canon ending the most. If you do all the good tasks enough so that you wake with the countdown remaining, *and* the dark one basically begging with his dying breath that we don't understand, then the choice to proceed makes Artyom more evil than saving the Dark Ones in those final moments.
Here you are acting in complete self defense and lose agency over stopping the missiles, thus rendering if Artyom would have wanted to spare them or not, moot.
You can rationalize here that even if Artyom believed in their peaceful intentions, others above him did not. As well as how many grieving families are left behind through the conflict albeit misunderstood when interacting with the Dark Ones and the horrifying way they operate.
They are like radiation. Not evil, but the byproduct of being near them seems to be bad for most people. Artyom being the man who needed Chemo in this case.
This is a "bad" ending?
I think it's good. This was Artyom's mission and him sitting there relaxing, watching everything he worked hard for actually happening couldn't have been a better ending.

Sry for bad English xDD
Kwas Kwasiński Well this was my reaction before the novel and playing Metro LL.. As far as the game as a stand alone goes, this was the most satisfying ending.
Dunno i feel bad when i see this. Beacuse of fear of things that we don't understand, rest of mankind do the same kind of annihilation like during WW3 in metro reality. Is just like endless loop of hatred, kill and sorrow. But i respect you feelings about it. For me the best is novel beacuse is more emotional and reflective. Game is awesome but you now is game so the most important is too create good gameplay atmosphere

it is the real ending to the book, only to find out in 2034/last light why artyom is able to communicate w/ the dark ones.
This is the best ending to any game ever. I haven't played the good ending, but I'm totally satisfied with this one. In the end, it all comes down to one last FPS moment in slow motion-totally perfect. Wish ME3 had this.

When I played this I didn't think it mattered. Since I saw videos on UA-cam basically saying that they get destroyed anyway.

This is the "true" ending. In the books Artyom actually wanted to help the dark ones but he fails in doing so and they are bombed anyways.
Thanks for sharing that with us friend! Just completed the game yesterday (normal/bad ending) so I am looking forward to this Summer.
War.... War never changes....
God, I love this game.
Heads up - the missiles aren't nuclear missiles, they're high-yield GRAD MRLS missiles.
I would say that the decision to kill them was understandable, but brutal.
Unfortunately, in real life, this would be the most likely outcome.
Or that Artyom isn't the killing machine he is in the game. He kills 2 people (altough 1 is arguable) and a couple of mutants and spends most of the book being nothing more then a glorified messenger. To be fair he is shown to be capable but he just doesn't get the chance because he is busy hallucination/having vision, getting captured, trying to survive anomalies, being surrounded by badass people who do all the work and generally just being an observer as opposed to a participant.
How is this the bad ending. This was your goal the entire game. This HAD to be done. This is a good ending.
There are two endings, this is bad compared to the "good" ending. And this "HAD" to be done? Do you remember Khans speech about how one must do more than act without any thought or doubt? If not go replay the game and try to see things from a new angle. Also play Last light if you haven't already, will help you see things the other way even more.
I think he means it had to be done because this is the canon ending. Last Light continues the Metro story arc as if Artyom launched the missiles.
@joah45 he didn't "let". Dark Ones contacted him while missiles were in the air.
This is philosophy. We're discussing hypotheticals using the game as a starting point. All he did was ask a hypothetical question.
I remember the first playthrought, this last mission was very cool. Especially the part running up to the tower itself (the tower is just one big quicktime event... but nice views). I finally understood why I was saving all those military grade rounds (ok I actually used the vast majority in D3 killing the goo bomb spawners).
But the labyrinth event. Man, when I finally got to the end and the Dark One showed himself and I had a gun in my hand. I did not even think, I did not hesitate for a SINGLE moment, I unloaded the full magazine into it even as it was falling to the ground. It was pure hate, it is not us, its existence offends me.

First off, after black station in that vision, DO NOT run from the dark one.
Secondly, when traveling to D6, GO WITH the dark one.
P.S. The dark ones say they only want to bring peace.
Can't believe I missed this cinematic and had to look it up because of a glitch they still haven't fixed. Other than that.. Great game!
Thank you, thought I was the only one didn’t know it was a glitch xD I didn’t get to see the ending and had no idea why, just cut out and goes to a loading screen instead of showing the cinematic xD
I just beat the game on ranger survival and it was just starting to show the cutscene them boom, loading screen and I was back at the title screen
@PanzerRatten Thermobaric (Fuel-Air) missiles by the looks of it.
Not from monsters, from ourselves.
Why didn't the Dark Ones use their telekinisis or something to blow the missiles up over the base? Maybe because they didn't want humans to hate them even more.
It's for one thing that I liked this game more than the book, the ending: in the game you had 2 choices, in the book no, and was very sad....
metro last light is based of metro 2034 and 2033 book ended with artyom killing teh dark ones and relising they wanted to be bros right after he kills them and the good ending for 2033 was only optional if u got enough good moral points
nope the dark ones have been trying to help humans the whole game the visions you have through the whole game, those are the dark ones trying to contact you and tell you they are here to help not kill, and all the humans they have killed just died because of injury not by dark ones but by the monster things(been so long since ive played the game) or from going insane because of the dark ones trying to contact them

I like this ending more then alternative.
if they hostile you kill them if they not, you kill them anyway
bad ending was the sequence of metro last light. I guess for last light as well for the next series.
Are we sure their not aliens from space because a ship can easly be hidden on the planet and hidden while landing and flying
The devil in this game was the humans....They were the dark ones.
this is the real endind last light continues off this one
Metro last night continues after bad ending
If you read the book, then you know that the Dark Ones are good and DO want to bring peace. The ending is slightly different though. Artyom realizes that in tha last moment, but there is nothing he can do. The Missiles strike, Artyom takes off his gas mask, crying and head back home.
Yes, the book tells the "bad" ending... That's why you still don't find out the Dark Ones are trying to save Humanity until Last Light...
i got this ending on the redux except after u hear" homing procedure complete" or whatever , i got the achievement and it took me to the menu, no cutscene or nothing😐.
if enemies are the good ones, then that makes us the bad ones. That's why this is classified as BAD ending.
So the Last Light continue from Bad Ending from 2033, but Exodus continue from the good ending of Last Light? Am i right?
Why the hell don’t I get this last scene? i’ve replayed the ending 3 times now, I kill the dark one, wake up from the mental battle and hear the last 2 lines, after it goes dark after "arytom the missiles are in flight" it goes to a loading screen. Says press the options button to continue and goes straight to sitting at the desk with options chapters new game and continue...
Your game must have been glitched or something
this is the original and right ending. This was in the book you see.
@trrs96 Actually, you sort of spare its life. Get your facts right. In stead of shooting it to death in the vision, you shoot very slowly, hear its pleas, and the vision will cut out to the Dark on the ground, next to the sde, still begging for Artyom to spare them. That's when you shoot the homing beacon.
I dunno if this ending could be considered bad or good... Sure the dark ones may have only been trying to communicate, but they accidently killed people by doing so. Artyom was doing what was required to save the people of his home metro since if left alive the dark ones would continue their attempts of communication and then become hostile as the humans fired upon them.
Just my opinion though.
I still thinking, there's no bad endings
@luckyStrike89ru they arent evil, all they were doing is communicating trying to help them but misunderstood and they are shot upon...
pss...a young dark one survive and arty find him
They killed me a whole bunch of times, why spare them?
I wonder how this would impact the next Metro game
the only problem is that Smerch rockets are not that powerful. Instead of these 3 rockets that seem to have small nuclear warheads there should've been a multi-rocket smerch barrage and the dark ones' base should've been smaller i guess. That's canon in the books
This is the ending for the book, unfortunately. I was curious since I don't have the game and wanted to know the if an alternative ending was possible and the game had a choice for that. The book definitely provides more focus on the details and less on a game play experience . Read the book, all 458 pages is worth it!
Damn i got bad ending i had no idea what to do
Oh thank God. Sarcasm can be hard to see on the internet, the pretend nutcases blur together with the real ones.
@xXxHaRdCoR3REb3LxXx The Bad ending is what happened in the book. So there
This is the ending what's in the original book
Wanna find a bad ending
Search up Mass Effect 3
Was somesing lost as well
The Good ones would try to knock some sense into those bad ones
This is the best ending for me..
Yeah,i have a friend who have a book,i'll read it
I would not call this 'Bad' ending only 'True' ending
I got this ending because it seemed like no other was offered to me. I mean, the dark ones are just killing everyone, how are they justified? I don't see them with any peace offering, they say one thing then melt your mind. Plus the game mechanic was confusing and vague, I just completed the mission objectives, I tried not killing the dark one but that just lead to him killing me each time and there was no intereact on the guidence system. deff not a clear cut choice mechanic.
Well, the Titanic accident really happened, though...
Thanks for posting. I never completed the first metro..I don’t recall why. Last night I purchased redux and exodus. I can now skip this game as I have seen both endings now.
Looking forward to the next two games.
Honestly, I would have killed the dark ones as well.
I love this game. Pass it twice and still get this ending but i like this one more than the otherone.
Please Metro Last Light ! Bring us back the dark Ones!
I don't care if I got the bad ending (if that means I'm bad) - I'm just always happy to hear the badass music! 2:52
Well if we didnt have the bad ending we wouldnt have the sequel
Because the Dark ones are not the bad guys, they just look like them.
They are Humans that survived the Nuclear war, but got heavily mutated, that they resorted to communicate through telepathy because they were unable to speak normally. Sadly, their attempt to talk to other humans caused the humans to go crazy and oftenly die, unlike Artyom.
They wanted to warn and protect the humans from the mutants, but they couldnt explain it. Out of characters here, sorry.
lol "a wise man once said" they couldn't find a real quote for the bad ending but they used a real quote for the good ending.
This is the canon ending
Maybe the dark ones wasnt evil, but mutants were evil. Maybe some of dark ones were evil the same as humans. not all are the bad ones. this game makes you to think about a lot of things.
from ones point of view it is a good or bad ending my 1st play through i got this one my next one i got the other and either way you bring peace so its all about viewpoint. and i think the dark ones deserved this for attacking human settlements in the 1st place
So how is Metro last light story is after the bad ending? with artyom
this game is badass i really hope they make a second one..
Yes
@@masathyfirst2563 lol they made two more
@xXZAPERXx the one after black station is the 1 with bourbon right? plz reply
"The book definitely provides more focus on the details and less on a game play experience". Well, obviously a book isn't going to focus "on a game play experience", it's a goddamn book.
Aye look 2022
So what i dont get is i tried not to shoot the dark one and it just kept killimg me making me restart and shoot him and get this ending.
Have you shot the laser device yet?
@KevinZS its not about if they bad or not..... if some kind on earth is smarter or stronger then humans then humans are lost..... look at the simple example.... animals.... some kinds of animals are pretty smart but still the humans hold them in cages... if some one is stronger then humans we going to join the animals

Yes, but only the first one. And I'm still sceptic. But even if they were good and wanted peace, the game was separate from the novel. You do not have to read the book to play. The dark ones from the game did not do anything to be authentic to me. I live in metro (as Artem) and my station has fallen from the invasion of the dark ones. All my friends are dead or captured by the dark ones. They bring insane and tried kill me in the end of the game. If they are inteligent they could be also sneaky.
Did you read the book.....
oh god! what have I done?!
I feel so bad for getting this ending =(
Im too lazy to switch to another video game character, so i apologize for me being charles
