Cesar Weizegger I know right? It goes beyond that thou. Paying for that lap dance is sraight up bad thing to do. You will lose moral points for doing that. Same goes for watching that striptease. You know what also net you moral points loss? Killing guy that surrenders to you....not unlike what those nazis did.
God damn swamp was so stressful ! Swamp monsters, flying demons, running out of filters, falling down into the swamp water ! gaaaaaah ! Giant swamp monster !
I know I’m years late but you can just take your mask off and put it back on when you’re about to suffocate and keep doing that. Then you never run out of air.
Anyone else love how in metro 2033 there's that part where you are going into D6 and everyone is cracking shitty jokes and that one guy was getting so pissed
Miller: Ulman, cut with the jokes, blyat! Once we get back, I'll make you brush the tunnels with a toothbrush! Ulman: Yes sir, my marshal! Whatever you say! Later... Stepan: A glass of moonshine for every nosalis kill! What do you say, Colonel? Miller: Oh, to hell with you; another comedian! Hey, stop laughing!
Chuck Norris if you are interested in metro , I advise you to play the trilogy - S. T. A. L. K. E. R. is a game from the same developers who made metro and it has cult status in Russia , there is still a game survarium - is she also from the same developers , and is also good , but its been 4 years can not finish , there are flaws , but the game itself is good ! + all of these games are made on the novel roadside picnic from the Brothers Strugatsky , I advise you to read this classic of Russian fiction !
Fucking Ulman lol, what happened to him in Last Light? He appeared like a tight ass and not his usual self, like if the developers forgot his witty personality. Oh well, not like it matters anymore :(
To be honest, I'm surprised there isn't MORE sex in Metro as a whole. Think about it. Humanity is on the brink of extinction, the outside world is uninhabitable, everyone is crammed together down in the tunnels like sardines... Most forms of entertainment would probably be gone completely. Sure, you could play a board game if you used some rocks and a piece of charcoal to draw the board... or if a guitar survived (as seen in some of the tunnels), and someone knew how to play. But for the most part... that life would be boring and depressing as hell. Sex it up, people.
erttheking Well, there are children in the Metro... so obviously, people still get in the mood to bang. Unless you want to go with the theory that they're all rape babies or something. Also, people not bathing and generally being gross and disgusting didn't stop humans from breeding like rabbits for the thousands of years we existed without bathing and perfume...
Yeah, but I kind of notice that there are a lot less kids than parents. It looks like the majority of people in the Metro decide not to have kids. Probably because the economic burden that comes with feeding them would be too much. Among other things.
Heaviest scene in a game for me in a long time. I don't exactly know why, but this scene was the first one to make me stop the game and just pause for a while.
Finished 2033 on ranger hardcore without killing any human when I had a choice not to, currently working on ranger hardcore no human killing playthrough just got past Venice without a human killing.
Considering prostitution (and really the commoditization of sex) is one of the oldest industries in human civilization, I don't think sexualisation of women after humans are returned to their baser natures is remotely out of place, infact it would be out of place if they weren't.
+NotAZombie Not to mention that as humans feel closer to death or impending doom, their natural urge to procreate gets stronger so all these grizzled Russians would have sex way ahead on their mind.
+Ben Starkey I did save Pavel! :-D I didn't kill Lesnitsky either because if you simply knock him out, Artyom will leave him on the surface without a gas mask so I guess he'll die anyway and I don't lose moral points :-D
Adrian Heys if you are interested in metro , I advise you to play the trilogy - S. T. A. L. K. E.

Jadolf Staler As soon as I found out he was a red I was cautious and expecting a betrayal at some point. When he bought artyom a drink I immediately knew what was going on
My best story of Metro Last Light was playing it on Ranger Hardcore and not knowing which button it was to get up from the stripper segment, I kept hitting the wrong key and paying her to dance again, it was completely insane.
+MastodonManiac that's not even the point, the characters say your name like 2-3 times every time they try to address you, they say your name all the time
***** Yeah, and have to look away from the game every 5 seconds to read English subtitles. Makes sense. That's about as bad as GTA-style games and their minimaps. Your eyes tend to be glued to where the action ISN'T, in order to know where to go. Now I'm sure if you can understand Russian, it'd be great. Otherwise I feel like it'd make the game worse to non-Russian speakers. You either stare at the bottom of the screen to read subtitles, or have no idea what anyone's saying.
TXF I honestly feel like if you can't pay attention to at least 2 things on the screen, something must be wrong with you. I know this is insulting, but it's my honest truth. Having to look at a map or read subtitles while playing the game or looking at the game shouldn't be a problem.
Leo Dude It's not a big problem. I'm not saying I can't play the game while looking at a map or subtitles. I'm just saying that it takes you out of what's going on a bit, when you have to constantly look away from what's going on.
And firing it with the middle finger if you didn't notice. Made me lol..think Joe would be offed quickly in the Metro world, quite possibly by accidentally shooting himself :)
He probably would. I mean, I'm not completely ruling out that he was intentionally exercising poor gun handling because of... um... reasons? But... y'know... beer gut.
Teddybears123 why would you need a finger constantly on the fire-select of a gun ergonomically designed to have the index finger on the trigger though?
I'm a bit lost on Joe's description of the strip club sequence and lap dance. I mean you're following after a bunch of Red soldiers trying to track down one in particular. They go into the club so naturally you follow and eavesdrop on what they're saying, but as you are some woman comes up behind you treating you as though you're a customer. Artyom grabs her, muffles her and pushes her to an adjacent room so his presence isn't found out by the enemy soldiers he's tracking. Then when they leave and Artyom takes his hand off her mouth she plays it as though he's a kinky guy and gives him a rate. You aren't supposed to stick around and pay for a lap dance, in fact I didn't even know you COULD because as soon as I was able I got out of the room and back on the Red's trail. I'm a bit mystified that you'd say the dance was shoved in. You ARE in a strip club and there is a stripper offering a dance and you can pay to get one if you want. I mean, if you pay for the lap dance what are you expecting? If anything it kinda reflects on the kind of person you personally are or how seriously you're taking the game and its story. I immerse myself and treat the game as though I really am there and if I'm tracking an enemy I'm not going to just let them go on and let the trail get cold because 'oh look boobies!'. Like I said I didn't even that getting a lap dance was even possible.
Of course it depends of the person, but, if you scavenge a lot (like me), you'll see that is really a small station, and there were only one way they could have gone, so it doesn't create all that urgency...
First off, I don't understand the sexualisation complaint. The lap dance is entirely optional, and makes sense given the context (You're in a strip club, what else was supposed to happen). As for the Anna part, I think it makes more sense when you consider there is implied dialogue between levels (Hence how characters like the fisherman learn your name, despite you never watching any dialogue). However I agree with the rest of this review, and I too would give the game a 9/10. The only subtractors are the few glitches that remain (I'm writing this after finishing the game in 2015) and the travesty of the paid Ranger mode. I personally can't wait for the next Metro game (If there is one), and I hope that they try an open world setting. The level design is just too good for words in Last Light, it's honestly disappointing that I'll only ever get to see each part once each playthrough.
+Alexei Brownski People like to complain. As you said you are in a strip club, of course something will happen. As for Anna you are right, they talked for sure plus don't forget they were both in the verge of death and after you both got saved, you just celebrate!
Stanley54 No, it is real. If you do the bad ending you will see that Anna is talking to her son at the epilogue and she mentions that his father was the one that saved the Metro.
+Alexei Brownski His complaint was more to do with there being a strip club in an oppressed post apocalyptic world then about the actual lap dance. As for the Anna bit, don't you think having implied dialogue in between levels could be a complaint in it's own right? Why not show us all this dialogue?
vKozza no that is the bad ending and bad ending is not canon i read thr books and they are married and in metro exodus you play as artyom and in trailer 2 anna speaked to artyom just as she did in the book
this game is exelently immersing. walking through a dark tunnel, guided by your lighter because your flashlight shorted out, strapped for ammo due to the some of creatures prior, no aiming reticle , just a laser sight on your Helsing... that's when you feel the quiet. the silence of the room around you. the slight cold in the room grows more noticable. It makes you legitimately nervous, leading up to the releif of your flashlight kicking back on. That moment, deep in the catacombs, made me realize just how great this game really was. never a dull moment. but, that one stretch of tunnel... nothing like it.
*shoots a shit ton of people in the head* Joe: This is normal and cool! *decides to pay for an optional lap dance* Joe: This is gratuitous! That moment when you realize someone treats sexual scenarios as worse than killing a bunch of people. Yep, that's definitely an American thing.
Murder and slit throats of multiple people = It's ok. It's all fake. Take an optional lap dance from a stripper (which are also in the books) = This is BAD! Doesn't matter if it's fake! The double standards are strong
He just said that it was out of place and kind of immature. It seemed a lot like fan service for a younger crowd. It can be a lot easier for people to grasp killing other people in a survival atmosphere then adding in a prostitution scene. Not saying it's not possible, but could've been handled better.
"Immature" It's a video game not a book or serious movie. They put in what the fans want and what they think would be fun. If people like strippers and it fits the lore (which it definitely does) then there's nothing wrong with adding them in. For a post-apocalyptic world where people live in the subway system, it was handled well enough and fans enjoyed it. But to each their own, you can't like everything in a game
+tibarion yea I agree. It can fit, but it doesn't matter that it's just a video game as it's such a large industry that it is necessary to treat your product like an adult. And many video games these days are practically interactive movies anyways so that argument is pretty unfair.
The reason why Anna changes her personality towards you, is because in he beginning segments of the game she leaves you to die. She saves herself instead of helping you so she can go back and tell the Rangers what happened to the mission you guys were on, and more importantly, what happened to you. She felt guilty and in return she gave you some guilt sex. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
No I haven't played any of the DLC for this game. In the main story she tells you that she feels guilty for leaving you. I know if you listen to what the Rangers have to say then they talk about how she's been acting differently since you were captured. Although, this is not in any main dialogue it's all in eavesdropping.
I don't know why everyone criticises Last Light for being too action-oriented. Minus a couple of set pieces, doing a pacifist run is a real stealthy challenge and experience.
Much more fun to aim to get through an area without anyone seeing you but instead realising that'll take forever and just putting a throwing knife in everyone's neck.
I agree, a pacifist run is very much possible in Last Last. When on my second playthrough I went for the pacifist route to achieve the good ending. Pretty much did it with one exception (the chapter where you find and save Ana) I couldn't for the life of me get through there without using some grenades because they would bunch up making it nearly impossible to avoid them or even knock them out. To top it off, they had the gas fumes running so I had limited time. Besides that, easy
***** I found the book 2034 a bit disappointing tbh. Not in it's tone, it's great in those creepy bits. But considering how 2033 ended, I had higher expectations (can't compare to the game, since I've only played the first till now). Wondering how 2035 will be though :D
I think Joe completely misunderstood the point of the lap dance, or at least this is what I took from it. It is there for the same reason as the theatre performance, to show that even through all of this humanity is still clinging to what keeps them human. The stuff with Ana felt weird though.
Not to mention, it's all optional.. you don't need to see the lapdance if you don't want to.. + Joe complains that there's not reason for the whole stripclub scene, when in fact it has meaning in the story.. + Anna hates Artyom at the start of the game because she thinks that he is responsible for the death of Hunter (that happened in Metro 2033) who was her idol.. and the sex scene between them two? Two young people who respect each other, he saved her, she saved him, they think they are both infected and have only a couple of hours - maybe days at best ahead of them, etc. yeah, I guess sex at that time isn't a bad thing to do as one of the last things you can do in your last moments on this world :)
This is a SERIOUSLY untapped market. I mean what games do we have that feature nuclear wastelands. S.T.A.L.K.E.R, Fallout and Metro. That's... basically it. Stalker looks quite dated (but don't get me wrong it's still one hell of a game, playing through Call of Pripyat now with a few mods and it's great), Can't really comment on Fallout but from what I've seen it doesn't look quite as wasteland-ey as the others and is less 'hardcore' as well as having pretty poor shooting mechanics, and Metro is excellent in terms of story, gameplay and world but it's quite a linear game. So if someone was to make a game that: is based in Chernobyl, has beautiful graphics, and has good shooting mechanics, YOU. WOULD. BE. GOLDEN! Why the fok has no one done this yet?! I mean we have a lot of fantasy type open world games, modern day open world games, but nuclear wasteland open world games? They're basically non-existent. If the right developer came along and produced a high quality game as I described they would be in a freaking gold mine. Either 4A Games or GSC Game World would be amazing for this. They absolutely nailed the atmosphere and the immersion. 4A would have to do it as an entirely different game though. One of the best things about Metro is the fact that since the world isn't huge they can cram it full of details and little hidden things. Thoughts? Would anyone be interested in seeing more games like this?
CVPI Cody Maybe, but I don't know if Rockstar would be the ones to do it. They're more into third person games. As I said either 4A or GSC Game World world would be the best as they already have a lot of experience making this type of game.
I agree with you but you can fallout more hardcore. I think its in new vagus there is hardcore mode where ammo weighs and you have to drink water and eat food plus hopefully fallout 4 is in the works and will announced at next E3 :)
If i didn't watch the whole video i'd feel like he has never played the game himself aside from the demo or very little. He forgets it was D6 not D9. Forgets that the factions are literally the ones from WWII. Apparently, from what i can tell the nuclear war started because none of the WWII factions collapsed and WWIII broke out causing the apocalypse. Anyway the factions are literally there because they all are different groups of people with different ideologies. At least the higher-ups think so, not all the civilians. Forgets that Anna felt ashamed and dropped the attitude for leaving Artyom to be captured by the Nazis and seeing that he is capable, she grew respectful of him. Forgets that the stripclub scene HAD a reason. It was a fucking Bordel in which the Red Army soldiers were residing in which you were chasing to get information from Pavel. Also forgot that there are other female although civilian characters that don't serve the story at all or just add a short story for you to overhear and are not sexualized. Well not all of them at least if you count out the 2 women you can overhear as they are taking a bath through a blurry window. About why the Story is hidden: The story is hidden to make you prove that you can expierence it all by looking around. You can't cram everything on a linear path. You have to force the player to prove their interest because otherwise the delivery will feel as if the story is forced upon you and not everyone likes to read long text and watch 10+ minutes of theater for an achievement or whatever. It also makes you look around the areas you are meant to explore and scavenge from.
a female that gives you the cold shoulder and then does a 180 and has a complete different personality.. yeah that's not accurate to real life at all...
i have to disagree on anna she was done right if you ask me the fact that you returned when she abandoned you made her feel guilty about it and afterwards when you risk your life to save her made her fall in love with you she didnt just was the D out of the blue man there was a lot of story there
Roozbeh Kasila if you are interested in metro , I advise you to play the trilogy - S. T. A. L. K. E. R. is a game from the same developers who made metro and it has cult status in Russia , there is still a game survarium - is she also from the same developers , and is also good , but its been 4 years can not finish , there are flaws , but the game itself is good ! + all of these games are made on the novel roadside picnic from the Brothers Strugatsky , I advise you to read this classic of Russian fiction !

It all happened way to fast. First she treats you bad yet you're the one that had helped discover D6, she drops the ball and leaves you. When you return she feels guilty (understandably) but then falls in love with you once save her she immediately falls in love with you? That is way too fast.
The argument about strip club was complete bullshit. You have to go there becasuse the commies you are looking for are in there. In order to no be detected you go into one of the booths. You can even ingnore the private dance offer if you want. So I don't see how it's "forced on you". One of the best games ever, BTW (if this would be 10/10. I would have to give 2033 ~4/10, in fact, the only good thing about Metro2033 was that it led to Metro LL, like FarCry2 led to FarCry3 even though FC2 was complete garbage).
GuitarEmber ! Learn something new every day, right? :D FC2 is basically a shitty FC3 - every single gameplay/sory/design mechanic of it was lacking but it allowed the devs to see the flaws and what needed to be improved which led them to making a proper game which is FC3.
To be fair with the Anna thing, I can see what 4A games were going for. When Anna first meets Artyom she doesn't trust him. He's a no name jerk from a no name station who Hunter put his faith in for unknown reasons. (I've been playing through 2033 myself and I'm still not entirely sure why he trusts Artyom so much). So she thinks he doesn't really deserve to be there. But then during their mission she loses him and feels really bad about it. And THEN he comes back, fights a giant prawn with her, and she realizes "Hey, you've been through some awful shit and you're actually pretty badass. I was wrong about you!". So her personality change doesn't exactly come out of nowhere. The PROBLEM though, is that she hasn't really gotten enough development for this change to feel natural. You literally only spend fifteen minutes with her before separating and doing your own thing for several hours. If you spent a few more missions with her then maybe this arc would have felt more complete and natural. I don't dislike it as much as Joe, but I definitely agree that it could have been done better.
Hunter trust hum so much because in VNDK artyoms home station hunter feels like every one else is going crazy with fear from the dark ones including artyoms step father uncle sasha who was very good friends with hunter. I havent played 2033 but i reaf the books and thats what they say.
I agree that Anna was forced in the sort of 'love interest' department, but at the same time, people tend to skip the part between those moments. I also disagree that you should start with Last Light; as much as I agree that it's a vast improvement than 2033, you can't really appreciate those upgrades. It's also a game version of a book in the series that hasn't even been released yet, so it doesn't surprise me that Anna is a little under-developed. Hopefully she's more of a character in the book.
Well I just couldn't play 2033, frame rate drops too often. Also how are the bugs? Are they any good if you played games? I was about to buy first part few weeks ago but for some reason I didn't.
I didn't see any real bugs when I played, but then again, I got it on sale and after it had been out for a while. If there are any bugs left, I doubt they're major ones.
+Nathaniel Rimblebottom My problem is not the voice acting specifically. I hate that it cuts down on rpg elements and choices in the game. I love games with lots of choices and different paths and if the voice acting gets in the way then fuck it, give me text.
HicksZ34 yeah you're right I just think that some games need a silent protagonist like Fallout. But witcher with a solid character like Gerald realy works better voiced.
***** Vostok games (made up of mostly stalker developers) is making Survarium, wich is basically a new stalker. Do some research on it if you want to know more, I'm currently playing on the closed beta and it rocks, just don't expect it to be finished, yet... It's in closed BETA after all.
The strip scene didn't really bother me much. You can pretty much just skip that entire part by just rushing after the objective and the lap dance is optional. Also I kind of disagree on Joe that it doesn't have any context. In the game Humanity is fucked and hopeless by the war but its a proven fact that sex is a quick and simple way to release tension though I agree there is a bit of a gender discrepancy in the game.
Joe, play the STALKER series. Not even close to as technically impressive, but it's great open world and even better atmosphere, along with arguably smoother mechanics and AMAZING AI make it a clear cut above Metro. Even though Metro is good.
STALKER feels more engaging just for the fact that you can run around anywhere you want and make the zone your home. I played Metro after STALKER and it took some warming up to Metro a wee bit since it didn't have the open world aspect.
I would say STALKER series has the best atmosphere and very reasonable AI, much better than Metro. Metro borrows heavily from STALKER series but fails to deliver what STALKER delivered
ess wasim I think that is because STALKER allows you to free roam. I played STALKER first then went to Metro and at first I didn't like it because you are lead around everywhere most of the game and can't really go running around much. It is easier to get into the atmosphere of STALKER and more engrossed in it when you have all that freedom to explore the world and truly live it.
dunno, but the mutant bear didnt scare me as much as id expected it to... you cant argue against a saiga even on hardcore difficulty. that thing shreds.
I always come back to this game/series. It's so atmospheric where some moments just take your breath away, whether from supernatural shit or the poignancy of the storyline.
awesome review *some times later* a wild metro redux appeared ! gamer used wallet to capture it ! *after playing 2033 redux* fucking worth every single cent I paid it , but wait , there's more... *after playing last light redux* *first ending* I'm crying , how can this be ;_; ... BUT WAIT ! even more... *second playthrough , alt ending* I'm crying tears of happyness now , fuckin brilliant.... BUT WAAAAAIT !! moaaar.... *side-story missions* Okayy , so now I've played 100 % of both games. total time ? almost 70 hours of the greatest gameplay ever. Metro is the best post apocalyptic & story driven franchise of it's time for me. thanks to deep silver and 4A games for this masterpiece. (*.*)
+Zelousmarineinspace i know right ? :D Actually I read a glimpse of the book before playing , and actually the game's design really catch that "no hope" devastated post nuclear apocalyptic world that the book tries to make you imagine. I didn't read all of it , because i can't play a game if I already know the storyline , I feel bored in no time :( Anyway , even if it was based on a book , I fucking loved it ;)
SuperJam But Artyom doesn't get hung halfway through the novel, there are no satanists, Borboun doesn't try to kill Artyom, and there is no "Children of the worm" cult, or mushroom vodka. So not a PERFECT recreation, but it's damn good stuff
Garry McMhastegut LOL so every time I jump hitting walls and rocks and bellyflop like a retarded savant while having a seizure on the game for 3 seconds?
if you are interested in metro , I advise you to play the trilogy - S. T. A. L. K. E.

Dmitry D My uncle was featured in one of the Stalker games as himself (somewhat famous Russian personality). Yeah, the STALKER games are known well in Russia, but mostly because of the book series.
Yes, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.! I just learned about it a couple weeks ago myself. Awesome game trilogy, for real. If you like Metro, then I would highly recommend S.T.A.L.K.E.R. as well.
love your reviews but you need to play the first game to fully understand anna. Your character used to work with anna's father and she blames you for his death which is why she gives you the cold shoulder. Later in the game after you get captured she feels bad for letting it happen and feels she is responsible for what you had to go through. Finally after you risk your life to go out of your way to save her and nearly die in the process she truly sees you are a good person and falls for you because in a hostile world you actually make her safe.
I tried it recently. I really forced myself to go through it, I played till chapter 5 I think and it was just unbearably boring. The story wasn't as amazing as people are pointing out too, for most of the time it's just: Take this Artyom and bring it to Polis.
Why would you want to skip 2033? I've never played either one, 2033 and Last Light are free on 360 next month so I'm checking out reviews. From what I've seen and heard, 2033 is still a good game, or at least worth playing for the atmosphere and stuff. Even if Last Light is better in almost every way, it would be worth playing 2033 first just so you know what's going on. (And I'm not talking about the Redux version or whatever.) I never understood why someone would purposely skip an earlier game in the series(assuming the story is consistent), just because it's a bit better. Of course, that's also assuming the previous game didn't suck, which in the case of Metro, doesn't seem to be the case. That'd be like skipping Borderlands 1 because Borderlands 2 did some things better, despite BL1 being fucking awesome still. Also.... "How did all the factions end up in the same city?" Well..from my understanding having not played the game. They've all been there a while. Obviously the groups were formed while underground. As another comment said... Put a large group of people in a small area for long enough, and they'll form groups and find reasons to hate the others. Obviously some of them could have started above ground. Someone from a group happened to be underground when things happened or whatever, and they started it. Either way. ALSO from what I understand, you can skip the lapdance by walking away. But to be fair to the existence of it, and the entire stripclub-like area..it wouldn't exactly be surprising to find a place like it if something like this was real. Honestly, I'm surprised sex and nudity isn't more common in other post-apocalyptic games like the recent Fallouts. Sex and Nudity is a big deal to a lot of people, and people would pay good money for it. I mean hell, strippers and prostitutes exist in current modern day society...would it really be that surprising to find it in a place like Metro? It's a society of people that's managed to form cities, factions, currency, guards, leaders, etc. Of course someone was gonna take the chance to make money off of sex. Not to mention it'd be one of the few forms of entertainment left. Not like they can just turn on the TV, or play games. Hell, they probably wouldn't even have access to many books, so they couldn't even read a book. And you mentioned not having legs when looking down. Why the fuck is it so hard for game companies to add legs to FPS games? Some games do it, so it's obviously something that can be done. Why would you NOT add it? Do they just think people are never going to look down? As for the whole "Mute Protagonist" thing...I like it sometimes. It has to work like Half-Life 2 though, where the entire game, 'cutscenes' and all, takes place from your perspective, and still allows camera movement and stuff. It makes it feel like, despite being mute, that you're still an actual person there, and not just some cutout main character like most FPS games. Or I like how Fallout 3 and NV did it by not giving your character a voice, but still giving you dialogue options, allowing you to actually make choices and have quest-changing decisions in a conversation. Which also gives you a sense of being your own character and allowing you to get into it, but still giving you the ability to talk. You mentioned that a lot of the story and lore is hidden. Well..that seems more realistic to me. You know what's not realistic? Random NPCs you just met giving you a 20 minute long talk about the history and backstory of your location, the people, and the enemies. And every NPC you meet shoving exposition into your face. You want to know the lore and extra story bits? Look around. Find the information yourself like you would actually have to do in a situation like this. It makes it more realistic, and also makes the main game less exposition-heavy. Not to mention it gives people that like to explore, extra incentive to do so, especially if you want to know everything you can. Besides, it's not like they put anything overly important in the hidden things. It's not like the really important objective and location of the next mission is in a note behind a locker. It'd all be optional information that people might find interesting to read.
I didn't know that they were releasing last light as well, I got 2033 last night having zero experience with the series and I love it. I'm the type of guy that likes to take in all the details of whatever I'm playing and the atmosphere is incredible (wearing surround sound headphones adds to the creepy factor as well) I'm only about an hour into the game so I haven't experienced much but so far I would recommend it to anyone who likes a good post apocalyptic shooter
Spoiler alert ! Am i the only one who was very sad about Artyom dying in the end? Well at least he died a hero's death , he saved the metro , RIP Artyom
JediJackalope Actually there is a list that you can look up that will show you the moral point system. But the best way to get the good ending is to do these things. Explore and look around as much as possible, listen to people's conversations unless you're told to leave while listening to them, don't kill those surrendering to you, and don't kill mutants unless they are showing you aggression. There are a couple levels where you get a moral point if you go through the entire level without killing anyone also.
Helpful Hint: Don't swap your filter when the little "beep beep beep" notification comes up. Because at that point you still have a whole minute left on that filter, and if you swap it then, you're just wasting filters. Stay with that filter for a while, and you'll hear Artyom start coughing and gasping when you really do need to change it. Because let's say you do 4 filter changes in a level. if you change all of those when the notification tells you to, then you've wasted 4 whole minutes of filter time. And filters can be sometimes annoying to find, especially on Harcore or Ranger modes. On Normal, they can still be somewhat scarce if you don't explore enough.
Jeff Taylor Better gameplay than Last of Us. Last of Us is a great story in a mediocre game. I hate the whole "Fuck gameplay, let's focus on story" trend of late.
"We used to joke about how they'll start charging you for gamemodes and endings"
Angry Joe predicted EA.
you dont have to pay for endings tho
niven poovanen Yeah, cause there aren't any in EA games.
I mean in metro last light braa
niven poovanen I meant modern EA.
Mass effect 3 true ending dlc?
You think people would realize you can walk away from the lap dance...
Cesar Weizegger I know right? It goes beyond that thou. Paying for that lap dance is sraight up bad thing to do. You will lose moral points for doing that. Same goes for watching that striptease. You know what also net you moral points loss? Killing guy that surrenders to you....not unlike what those nazis did.
I didn't know moral points was a thing. i'm gld the game doesn't explain that.
Yep, 2 different endings based on your actions .) haha what an coincidence that you are online now :D
My sleep schedule's fucked. Going to sleep in 4 hours and waking up at 3
Well chances that were are from same time zone is slim :D its morning here :D 9 o´clock, so perfect time for commenting on youtube videos!
running out of filter time in the swamp area turned me into a speed runner
Not realizing there was a fresh mask at the beginning of The Church turned me into a ragequitter.
God damn swamp was so stressful ! Swamp monsters, flying demons, running out of filters, falling down into the swamp water ! gaaaaaah ! Giant swamp monster !
I know I’m years late but you can just take your mask off and put it back on when you’re about to suffocate and keep doing that. Then you never run out of air.
butterpastor Jumping in water does the same thing but u need water near u in that case
Funny enough, it turned me into a kleptomaniac. And massive scrounger.
Anyone else love how in metro 2033 there's that part where you are going into D6 and everyone is cracking shitty jokes and that one guy was getting so pissed
I loved that part, I payed more attention to that then my ammo count it was so funny.
Miller: Ulman, cut with the jokes, blyat! Once we get back, I'll make you brush the tunnels with a toothbrush!
Ulman: Yes sir, my marshal! Whatever you say!
Later...
Stepan: A glass of moonshine for every nosalis kill! What do you say, Colonel?
Miller: Oh, to hell with you; another comedian! Hey, stop laughing!
uh what a waste of space, a great place to grow 'shrooms you know
Chuck Norris if you are interested in metro , I advise you to play the trilogy - S. T. A. L. K. E. R. is a game from the same developers who made metro and it has cult status in Russia , there is still a game survarium - is she also from the same developers , and is also good , but its been 4 years can not finish , there are flaws , but the game itself is good ! + all of these games are made on the novel roadside picnic from the Brothers Strugatsky , I advise you to read this classic of Russian fiction !
Fucking Ulman lol, what happened to him in Last Light? He appeared like a tight ass and not his usual self, like if the developers forgot his witty personality. Oh well, not like it matters anymore :(
To be honest, I'm surprised there isn't MORE sex in Metro as a whole.
Think about it. Humanity is on the brink of extinction, the outside world is uninhabitable, everyone is crammed together down in the tunnels like sardines...
Most forms of entertainment would probably be gone completely. Sure, you could play a board game if you used some rocks and a piece of charcoal to draw the board... or if a guitar survived (as seen in some of the tunnels), and someone knew how to play. But for the most part... that life would be boring and depressing as hell.
Sex it up, people.
You really want to try and deliver and have a kid in a dirty metro system?
That and how unpleasant everything is would probably be a turn off.
erttheking Well, there are children in the Metro... so obviously, people still get in the mood to bang. Unless you want to go with the theory that they're all rape babies or something.
Also, people not bathing and generally being gross and disgusting didn't stop humans from breeding like rabbits for the thousands of years we existed without bathing and perfume...
Yeah, but I kind of notice that there are a lot less kids than parents. It looks like the majority of people in the Metro decide not to have kids. Probably because the economic burden that comes with feeding them would be too much. Among other things.
Kinda like fallout 2
Tyler Staub I must admit... I've never actually played it.
that plane scene was crazy
yep...
nah it was sad if anything.
The church is what made me sad. The plane was deep, too.
+Cheeki Breeki Priest this game just depresses the hell out of me
Heaviest scene in a game for me in a long time. I don't exactly know why, but this scene was the first one to make me stop the game and just pause for a while.
Did... Joe just give us a lap dance? .___.
......never speak of this again
oh my
i think he did 0_____o
Gasp! VFTD! Woah. Hi

Metro 2033 & Last Light on Ranger tough me one thing.
Dat throwing knife is OP as fuck.
YEa Boiiiiiiii
Ranger makes you a circus man , seriously.
No shit, Ranger mode moulds you into a fucking ninja with throwing knives as your shurikens. It also makes the darkness your closest ally.
Finished 2033 on ranger hardcore without killing any human when I had a choice not to, currently working on ranger hardcore no human killing playthrough just got past Venice without a human killing.
David Gardiner hardcore is the perfect difficulty setting for last light tbh not easy and not too hard
I remembered when I only had ZERO bullets on that fucking water boss unbeateble
Theo Germander you could've ran sportacus
no there was water all around me and you can't swim in the game
Theo Germander true lol
+Theo Germander I had to defeat that fucking bear boss with 1 hp I was literally 1 hit away from death and that flashing red screen was not helping.
Theo Germando you dont have to shoot it to kill it if its what Im thinking.
Isn't it D6?
GamingReviews Yep
Yea
Д 6
I was gonna say that too
puggy420 The Military Bunker that Sparta controls.
Considering prostitution (and really the commoditization of sex) is one of the oldest industries in human civilization, I don't think sexualisation of women after humans are returned to their baser natures is remotely out of place, infact it would be out of place if they weren't.
True
+NotAZombie Not to mention that as humans feel closer to death or impending doom, their natural urge to procreate gets stronger so all these grizzled Russians would have sex way ahead on their mind.
+NotAZombie To me war always've been older than prostitution but still what you said is pretty true
In the manner presented in this game? Yes, it's extremely out of place.
Bahaha. Really? How many post-apocalyptic subways have you been in to have the credentials to say that as if it's fact?
i payed good bullets for a lap dance in the first game, and got mugged 10/10 would pay again.

Definitely D6 I don't know what Joe was smoking considering literally every bad guy calls it D6 to the point it was engraved in my mind.

This guy knows what he's talking about I played 2033,last light and redux
My best story of Metro Last Light was playing it on Ranger Hardcore and not knowing which button it was to get up from the stripper segment, I kept hitting the wrong key and paying her to dance again, it was completely insane.
You realise you could have just left before it began right lmao
😂
Sure,,, wrong button 😏
One of the best games ever made, so underrated.
I think 2033 is much more underrated
HydraWolf1 Very true.
My only problem with metro 2033 broken ass stealth sad face
Cursed Slayer Every game has glitches. I never even had a problem with the stealth personally
Meh everyone has different experiences
this game is annoyingly underrated
***** you we're first though also I'm literate but you don't know what I don't care means I am not responding to anything else from you so just stop.
"I don't agree with you but don't even bother telling me why you disagree with me" one of the dumbest thing I've ever hear Imao.
mathX ok
A year later, it's still better than call of duty..
You know there’s another game out there that’s similar to this one. It’s the complete opposite though. You know, The game in Chernobyl?
Artyom, Artyom! 90% of dialogue in Metro last light and 2033.
+MastodonManiac that's not even the point, the characters say your name like 2-3 times every time they try to address you, they say your name all the time
+MastodonManiac reminds me of the ramerez meme from cod

Okay, at some point, someone is going to see your comment and make a parody video. WELCOME TO THE INTERNET!!!
AND some dick from angry joe! XD
I think the entire point of that segment was to show off the physics. Incase you missed venice
If you REALLY want to experience the entire atmos of the game, play with Russian dialogue. It adds a lot to the game itself.
Same with stalker, but instead of turning on subtitles, go and learn russian. The english translation sucks ass.
***** Yeah, and have to look away from the game every 5 seconds to read English subtitles. Makes sense. That's about as bad as GTA-style games and their minimaps. Your eyes tend to be glued to where the action ISN'T, in order to know where to go.
Now I'm sure if you can understand Russian, it'd be great. Otherwise I feel like it'd make the game worse to non-Russian speakers. You either stare at the bottom of the screen to read subtitles, or have no idea what anyone's saying.
TXF I honestly feel like if you can't pay attention to at least 2 things on the screen, something must be wrong with you. I know this is insulting, but it's my honest truth. Having to look at a map or read subtitles while playing the game or looking at the game shouldn't be a problem.
***** But then I dont understand what they say.
Leo Dude It's not a big problem. I'm not saying I can't play the game while looking at a map or subtitles. I'm just saying that it takes you out of what's going on a bit, when you have to constantly look away from what's going on.
You're holding that AK all kinds of wrong, bad Texan!
And firing it with the middle finger if you didn't notice. Made me lol..think Joe would be offed quickly in the Metro world, quite possibly by accidentally shooting himself :)
He probably would.
I mean, I'm not completely ruling out that he was intentionally exercising poor gun handling because of... um... reasons?
But... y'know... beer gut.
In the military I heard they use there middle finger on the trigger and index on the fire select.
Teddybears123 why would you need a finger constantly on the fire-select of a gun ergonomically designed to have the index finger on the trigger though?
Soldiers can't fire unless they're fired upon. With guns that have fire select on both sides they use their thumbs instead to select fire mode.
I was really hoping Fallout 4 would have the atmosphere of Metro Last Light
Ces.Ex.Machina ha not even close
Shartline McDingleberries yeah I know
Ces.Ex.Machina just hope for metro 3
Yeah me too dude Metro is awesome
Shartline McDingleberries Metro 2035 ?
I'm a bit lost on Joe's description of the strip club sequence and lap dance. I mean you're following after a bunch of Red soldiers trying to track down one in particular. They go into the club so naturally you follow and eavesdrop on what they're saying, but as you are some woman comes up behind you treating you as though you're a customer. Artyom grabs her, muffles her and pushes her to an adjacent room so his presence isn't found out by the enemy soldiers he's tracking. Then when they leave and Artyom takes his hand off her mouth she plays it as though he's a kinky guy and gives him a rate.
You aren't supposed to stick around and pay for a lap dance, in fact I didn't even know you COULD because as soon as I was able I got out of the room and back on the Red's trail.
I'm a bit mystified that you'd say the dance was shoved in. You ARE in a strip club and there is a stripper offering a dance and you can pay to get one if you want. I mean, if you pay for the lap dance what are you expecting?
If anything it kinda reflects on the kind of person you personally are or how seriously you're taking the game and its story. I immerse myself and treat the game as though I really am there and if I'm tracking an enemy I'm not going to just let them go on and let the trail get cold because 'oh look boobies!'.
Like I said I didn't even that getting a lap dance was even possible.
Of course it depends of the person, but, if you scavenge a lot (like me), you'll see that is really a small station, and there were only one way they could have gone, so it doesn't create all that urgency...
Fuck the Reds, they can wait, I WANT BOOBIES!
Finally found some sense in these comments....
First off, I don't understand the sexualisation complaint. The lap dance is entirely optional, and makes sense given the context (You're in a strip club, what else was supposed to happen). As for the Anna part, I think it makes more sense when you consider there is implied dialogue between levels (Hence how characters like the fisherman learn your name, despite you never watching any dialogue).
However I agree with the rest of this review, and I too would give the game a 9/10. The only subtractors are the few glitches that remain (I'm writing this after finishing the game in 2015) and the travesty of the paid Ranger mode.
I personally can't wait for the next Metro game (If there is one), and I hope that they try an open world setting. The level design is just too good for words in Last Light, it's honestly disappointing that I'll only ever get to see each part once each playthrough.
+Alexei Brownski People like to complain. As you said you are in a strip club, of course something will happen. As for Anna you are right, they talked for sure plus don't forget they were both in the verge of death and after you both got saved, you just celebrate!
+Alexei Brownski The thing with Anna was in Artyom's mind.
Stanley54 No, it is real. If you do the bad ending you will see that Anna is talking to her son at the epilogue and she mentions that his father was the one that saved the Metro.
aw, that's such a cliche.Safersephiroth777
+Alexei Brownski His complaint was more to do with there being a strip club in an oppressed post apocalyptic world then about the actual lap dance. As for the Anna bit, don't you think having implied dialogue in between levels could be a complaint in it's own right? Why not show us all this dialogue?
I suggest playing this in russian with english subtitles. Extremely immersive.
I'd do that, but you can't change the spoken language in Last Light, which is a shame since you could do it in Metro 2033.
Uuuuhhh... I did...
You can change but only on the main menu,
I wanted to do that, but I couldn't read fast enough. :(
Damn, i could do that?! Fuck, i missed out on so much... ; (
I think the sex with Anna was less "love" and more "thank God we're alive."
Noah Sturgis then they wouldnt be married in 2035
Happy Lord They didnt.. Artyoom died destroying D6 to keep the communists or “the reds” to control it and destroy the metro as they knew it
vKozza no that is the bad ending and bad ending is not canon i read thr books and they are married and in metro exodus you play as artyom and in trailer 2 anna speaked to artyom just as she did in the book
vKozza I hope that you undestant story artyom is going east of tussia to fin a bew life together with anna
So it’s more like “Holy shit, we’re alive! Let’s celebrate with a victory screw!”
One of the most underrated games ever :(
This, Metro: 2033 and Spec Ops: The Line
Godfather Don Spec Ops gameplay was kinda boring but the story was sooo great. At least the ending...
***** The gameplay was not the best, but the narrative itself was amazing. I suggest you give it another go. (:
Syndicate 2012 was an underrated one to
I hope they make another game
He talks in the loading screen because he is writing a biography. So he isn't really talking and you are just reading it.
this game is exelently immersing. walking through a dark tunnel, guided by your lighter because your flashlight shorted out, strapped for ammo due to the some of creatures prior, no aiming reticle , just a laser sight on your Helsing... that's when you feel the quiet. the silence of the room around you. the slight cold in the room grows more noticable. It makes you legitimately nervous, leading up to the releif of your flashlight kicking back on. That moment, deep in the catacombs, made me realize just how great this game really was. never a dull moment. but, that one stretch of tunnel... nothing like it.
suprtroopr1028 Okay... you have just sold this game for me, can’t wait to try it 👍🏻
*shoots a shit ton of people in the head* Joe: This is normal and cool!
*decides to pay for an optional lap dance* Joe: This is gratuitous!
That moment when you realize someone treats sexual scenarios as worse than killing a bunch of people. Yep, that's definitely an American thing.
Murder and slit throats of multiple people = It's ok. It's all fake.
Take an optional lap dance from a stripper (which are also in the books) = This is BAD! Doesn't matter if it's fake!
The double standards are strong
He just said that it was out of place and kind of immature. It seemed a lot like fan service for a younger crowd. It can be a lot easier for people to grasp killing other people in a survival atmosphere then adding in a prostitution scene. Not saying it's not possible, but could've been handled better.
"Immature" It's a video game not a book or serious movie. They put in what the fans want and what they think would be fun. If people like strippers and it fits the lore (which it definitely does) then there's nothing wrong with adding them in. For a post-apocalyptic world where people live in the subway system, it was handled well enough and fans enjoyed it. But to each their own, you can't like everything in a game
+tibarion yea I agree. It can fit, but it doesn't matter that it's just a video game as it's such a large industry that it is necessary to treat your product like an adult. And many video games these days are practically interactive movies anyways so that argument is pretty unfair.
Merica Fuck yeah!
The reason why Anna changes her personality towards you, is because in he beginning segments of the game she leaves you to die. She saves herself instead of helping you so she can go back and tell the Rangers what happened to the mission you guys were on, and more importantly, what happened to you. She felt guilty and in return she gave you some guilt sex. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
imo there is everything wrong with that and a sudden out of nowhere spike in their relationship was absolutely unbelieveable and out of place
I meant that there, in my opinion, isn't anything wrong with guilt sex. Cause it's sex. Boobs.
lol dawg, have you ve played the dlc? you can actually play as anna during the sniper scene and try to save artwom but of course in the end you cant
No I haven't played any of the DLC for this game. In the main story she tells you that she feels guilty for leaving you. I know if you listen to what the Rangers have to say then they talk about how she's been acting differently since you were captured. Although, this is not in any main dialogue it's all in eavesdropping.
oh, hey man as long as artwom gets that badongadong its all good... oh and dont buy the dlcs trust me
Knife for humans, Bullets for monsters...
Phagia The Witcher 4: Radiation Zone
good advice
I don't know why everyone criticises Last Light for being too action-oriented. Minus a couple of set pieces, doing a pacifist run is a real stealthy challenge and experience.
Much more fun to aim to get through an area without anyone seeing you but instead realising that'll take forever and just putting a throwing knife in everyone's neck.
I agree, a pacifist run is very much possible in Last Last. When on my second playthrough I went for the pacifist route to achieve the good ending. Pretty much did it with one exception (the chapter where you find and save Ana) I couldn't for the life of me get through there without using some grenades because they would bunch up making it nearly impossible to avoid them or even knock them out. To top it off, they had the gas fumes running so I had limited time. Besides that, easy
scene includes a lap dance.

When will 2035 appear?

Metro 2035 will be a more in depth version of Last Light.
Metro 2035 book will be out early in 2016, Mr Glukhvosky said it somewhere in a interview.
***** I found the book 2034 a bit disappointing tbh. Not in it's tone, it's great in those creepy bits. But considering how 2033 ended, I had higher expectations (can't compare to the game, since I've only played the first till now). Wondering how 2035 will be though :D
VOTE WITH YOUR WALLET
I think Joe completely misunderstood the point of the lap dance, or at least this is what I took from it. It is there for the same reason as the theatre performance, to show that even through all of this humanity is still clinging to what keeps them human. The stuff with Ana felt weird though.
Not to mention, it's all optional.. you don't need to see the lapdance if you don't want to.. + Joe complains that there's not reason for the whole stripclub scene, when in fact it has meaning in the story.. + Anna hates Artyom at the start of the game because she thinks that he is responsible for the death of Hunter (that happened in Metro 2033) who was her idol.. and the sex scene between them two? Two young people who respect each other, he saved her, she saved him, they think they are both infected and have only a couple of hours - maybe days at best ahead of them, etc. yeah, I guess sex at that time isn't a bad thing to do as one of the last things you can do in your last moments on this world :)
***** most animals don't do it for pleasure like humans do. They are breeding.

@@Janno132 is now…
Talks about the game forcing strippers onto you, when you can clearly see at 9:03 that you have to option to just leave.
you even have to pay for it LMAO
Yeah but the point is, its there for juveniles. No juvenile is going to not be forced to look at titties. Especially Russian ones.
You even lose points towards the good ending
This game deserved your bad ass seal of approval. You shouldn't give games a bad score because of mistakes by the publisher.

No Angry, it's called D-6, not D-9.
This is a SERIOUSLY untapped market. I mean what games do we have that feature nuclear wastelands. S.T.A.L.K.E.R, Fallout and Metro. That's... basically it. Stalker looks quite dated (but don't get me wrong it's still one hell of a game, playing through Call of Pripyat now with a few mods and it's great), Can't really comment on Fallout but from what I've seen it doesn't look quite as wasteland-ey as the others and is less 'hardcore' as well as having pretty poor shooting mechanics, and Metro is excellent in terms of story, gameplay and world but it's quite a linear game. So if someone was to make a game that: is based in Chernobyl, has beautiful graphics, and has good shooting mechanics, YOU. WOULD. BE. GOLDEN!
Why the fok has no one done this yet?! I mean we have a lot of fantasy type open world games, modern day open world games, but nuclear wasteland open world games? They're basically non-existent. If the right developer came along and produced a high quality game as I described they would be in a freaking gold mine. Either 4A Games or GSC Game World would be amazing for this. They absolutely nailed the atmosphere and the immersion.
4A would have to do it as an entirely different game though. One of the best things about Metro is the fact that since the world isn't huge they can cram it full of details and little hidden things.
Thoughts? Would anyone be interested in seeing more games like this?
I totally agree with you, I would love to see more post apocalyptic games. I think it would be cool if rockstar made a post apoc game.
CVPI Cody Maybe, but I don't know if Rockstar would be the ones to do it. They're more into third person games. As I said either 4A or GSC Game World world would be the best as they already have a lot of experience making this type of game.
***** I read that there is another Metro game in the works but I doubt it'll be ready for E3 yet. If I remember right it's about 2-3 years away still.
I agree with you but you can fallout more hardcore. I think its in new vagus there is hardcore mode where ammo weighs and you have to drink water and eat food plus hopefully fallout 4 is in the works and will announced at next E3 :)
Me and my friends are working on a game that's an open world game that borrows a lot from metro. Do you think it will be good?
What I really like about the game is that ammo is currency, so you have to be accurate and save up valuable ammo with lower quality ammo
Paul a good soldier, a patriot of his convictions
Make it open world god damnit!
an open world metro game would be sweet as fuck :P
Fuck Yeah!
No, that would be stalker.
it's called fallout dude
taildan Fallout is nothing like this.
If i didn't watch the whole video i'd feel like he has never played the game himself aside from the demo or very little.
He forgets it was D6 not D9.
Forgets that the factions are literally the ones from WWII. Apparently, from what i can tell the nuclear war started because none of the WWII factions collapsed and WWIII broke out causing the apocalypse. Anyway the factions are literally there because they all are different groups of people with different ideologies. At least the higher-ups think so, not all the civilians.
Forgets that Anna felt ashamed and dropped the attitude for leaving Artyom to be captured by the Nazis and seeing that he is capable, she grew respectful of him.
Forgets that the stripclub scene HAD a reason. It was a fucking Bordel in which the Red Army soldiers were residing in which you were chasing to get information from Pavel.
Also forgot that there are other female although civilian characters that don't serve the story at all or just add a short story for you to overhear and are not sexualized. Well not all of them at least if you count out the 2 women you can overhear as they are taking a bath through a blurry window.
About why the Story is hidden: The story is hidden to make you prove that you can expierence it all by looking around. You can't cram everything on a linear path. You have to force the player to prove their interest because otherwise the delivery will feel as if the story is forced upon you and not everyone likes to read long text and watch 10+ minutes of theater for an achievement or whatever. It also makes you look around the areas you are meant to explore and scavenge from.
Your completely right, I agree but for some reason Joe and this comment section does not agree.
a female that gives you the cold shoulder and then does a 180 and has a complete different personality..
yeah that's not accurate to real life at all...
i have to disagree on anna she was done right if you ask me the fact that you returned when she abandoned you made her feel guilty about it and afterwards when you risk your life to save her made her fall in love with you she didnt just was the D out of the blue man there was a lot of story there
yaa...i really love anna...despite leaving artyom at the beginning of the game...she is really hot :p
Roozbeh Kasila if you are interested in metro , I advise you to play the trilogy - S. T. A. L. K. E. R. is a game from the same developers who made metro and it has cult status in Russia , there is still a game survarium - is she also from the same developers , and is also good , but its been 4 years can not finish , there are flaws , but the game itself is good ! + all of these games are made on the novel roadside picnic from the Brothers Strugatsky , I advise you to read this classic of Russian fiction !

It all happened way to fast. First she treats you bad yet you're the one that had helped discover D6, she drops the ball and leaves you. When you return she feels guilty (understandably) but then falls in love with you once save her she immediately falls in love with you? That is way too fast.
IM 12 YEARS OLD AND I THOUGHT THE STRIP CLUB WAS OUT OF THE BLUE AND FORCED TO KEEP THE INTEREST OF COD FANBOYS
You should not be playing rated M games anyways..
^haha
Wtf does that have to do with cod? Stop hating for absolutely no reason.
Dosent really, one of my first games was red dead, the first one when i was like 8
14 years old and agree
there really wasn't that much nudity in this game, I think those complaints were very exaggerated.
The argument about strip club was complete bullshit. You have to go there becasuse the commies you are looking for are in there. In order to no be detected you go into one of the booths. You can even ingnore the private dance offer if you want. So I don't see how it's "forced on you". One of the best games ever, BTW (if this would be 10/10. I would have to give 2033 ~4/10, in fact, the only good thing about Metro2033 was that it led to Metro LL, like FarCry2 led to FarCry3 even though FC2 was complete garbage).
I'm so glad I read your comment I will buy now thnx
How did FC2 lead into FC3 even though they are completely separate stories? P.s I would have agreed with you before metro redux but now 2033 is epic
GuitarEmber ! 3 comes after 2.
Ričardas Marozas Really? I hadn't known that before
GuitarEmber ! Learn something new every day, right? :D FC2 is basically a shitty FC3 - every single gameplay/sory/design mechanic of it was lacking but it allowed the devs to see the flaws and what needed to be improved which led them to making a proper game which is FC3.
Joe, i swear to god never give you dislike, you swear to god never dance again like that...DEAL?????????'
Hahahaha. Not exactly. But o las watching the freaking video at work when a co-worker came . Go ahead. EXPLAIN!!!
DAT CROTCH
LOL
And when you least expect it
You: I swear, this is not what you think it i--
Co-worker:That guy has good bulge action going on
You: Wh--what the fuck
LOL!
Definitely missed your calling as a male stripper.
This game has award-winning boob physics. That alone is worth GotY.
how is the nudity out of place? people don't stop having sex and liking women because of an apocalypse...
Come on Joe..you can't blame the women for trying to repopulate Earth..
To be fair with the Anna thing, I can see what 4A games were going for. When Anna first meets Artyom she doesn't trust him. He's a no name jerk from a no name station who Hunter put his faith in for unknown reasons. (I've been playing through 2033 myself and I'm still not entirely sure why he trusts Artyom so much). So she thinks he doesn't really deserve to be there. But then during their mission she loses him and feels really bad about it. And THEN he comes back, fights a giant prawn with her, and she realizes "Hey, you've been through some awful shit and you're actually pretty badass. I was wrong about you!". So her personality change doesn't exactly come out of nowhere.
The PROBLEM though, is that she hasn't really gotten enough development for this change to feel natural. You literally only spend fifteen minutes with her before separating and doing your own thing for several hours. If you spent a few more missions with her then maybe this arc would have felt more complete and natural. I don't dislike it as much as Joe, but I definitely agree that it could have been done better.
Hunter trust hum so much because in VNDK artyoms home station hunter feels like every one else is going crazy with fear from the dark ones including artyoms step father uncle sasha who was very good friends with hunter. I havent played 2033 but i reaf the books and thats what they say.
Tyler Staub That actually makes a ton of sense! Thank you!
No problem.
They only had sex because they thought they would die, the relationship was still cold after that.
Whenever I see the gas mask Joe is wearing, I have the urge to say: "Are you my mommy?"
DOCTOR!
Jaba Bokolishvili Who?
Jack Appleton Just Doctor
Jaba Bokolishvili Just "The Doctor" ;)

Metro Last Light and the S.T.A.L.K.E.R trilogy have the best post-apocalyptic worlds in games
Yeah, fallout is good, but damn, metro has one of the most riveting atmospheres ever
"I've got a pole for you to dance around" damn I should use that line as a joke I laughed so hard.
I agree that Anna was forced in the sort of 'love interest' department, but at the same time, people tend to skip the part between those moments. I also disagree that you should start with Last Light; as much as I agree that it's a vast improvement than 2033, you can't really appreciate those upgrades.
It's also a game version of a book in the series that hasn't even been released yet, so it doesn't surprise me that Anna is a little under-developed. Hopefully she's more of a character in the book.
Well I just couldn't play 2033, frame rate drops too often.
Also how are the bugs? Are they any good if you played games? I was about to buy first part few weeks ago but for some reason I didn't.
I didn't see any real bugs when I played, but then again, I got it on sale and after it had been out for a while. If there are any bugs left, I doubt they're major ones.
omg, i said bugs not books (facepalm). I'm an idiot
it happens, don't worry.
I pre-ordered it and supposedly got a free copy of Metro 2033...and I still have no idea how to open the frikkin' file.
Ernestas Dobrovolskis
Just started reading the Metro 2033 book. Reached the 100 page mark and it's pretty good.
12:20 before I throw the cigarette, let me smoke some more
Love that scene
It's funny how deep silver can make cool games but also shitty :x
I think we are all looking at Ride to Hell here.
starterpivot
yup
They remind me alot of Telltale Games.
TimpsterTheDude
Telltale games? They made bad ga-.... *Looks at Jurassic park:The game*
***** Lol yeah.
Silent main caracter is always better...makes you immerse easily into the game.
True
100% true
+Nathaniel Rimblebottom My problem is not the voice acting specifically. I hate that it cuts down on rpg elements and choices in the game. I love games with lots of choices and different paths and if the voice acting gets in the way then fuck it, give me text.
HicksZ34 yeah you're right I just think that some games need a silent protagonist like Fallout. But witcher with a solid character like Gerald realy works better voiced.
Leo Gob yeah bioshock amazing atmosphere metro last light awesome atmosphere
Such a great game. I love the parts where you are outside of the Metro.
Must be some big shrimp sandwitches!
I wish 4A Games would make Stalker 2 with this Engine. That would be Awesome! =)
yay! then 3/4 of all gamers wont be able to play it.
Delvin Cruze the weakest must be sacrificed for the strongest....
***** Vostok games (made up of mostly stalker developers) is making Survarium, wich is basically a new stalker. Do some research on it if you want to know more, I'm currently playing on the closed beta and it rocks, just don't expect it to be finished, yet... It's in closed BETA after all.
METRO EXODUS
BlackSkiesProductions Im so ready for it.
My body is ready 😂
Still waiting. When are they announcing release date.
Game will be out somewhere in the beginning of 2019

At the start Anna was pissed that dude was trying to make peace with the Dark Ones, and later you save her life.
Also pull out the lighter to make an area brighter so it burns the spider-scorpians faster.
The strip scene didn't really bother me much. You can pretty much just skip that entire part by just rushing after the objective and the lap dance is optional.
Also I kind of disagree on Joe that it doesn't have any context.
In the game Humanity is fucked and hopeless by the war but its a proven fact that sex is a quick and simple way to release tension though I agree there is a bit of a gender discrepancy in the game.
ON SALE AT STEAM!! JUST BOUGHT BOTH !!
+Nino A: Good choice
^_-
+Nino A Already had both and both are awesome
Is metro a free world or like call of duty main story missions
+edwin asas it's linear
+Nino A Same!
Thank you Angry Joe, your glorious crotch shot dancing shall haunt my nightmares. Great review bro.

Напишу чё-нибудь по-русски чтобы все поняли что я русский. Фак йеа
Joe, play the STALKER series. Not even close to as technically impressive, but it's great open world and even better atmosphere, along with arguably smoother mechanics and AMAZING AI make it a clear cut above Metro. Even though Metro is good.
Yea, i just upgraded from Stalker call of pripyat to this, so angry they werent gunna make a stalker sequel to pripyat.
STALKER feels more engaging just for the fact that you can run around anywhere you want and make the zone your home. I played Metro after STALKER and it took some warming up to Metro a wee bit since it didn't have the open world aspect.
STALKER is in my opinion much better in many ways, but it is much harder to get into.
I would say STALKER series has the best atmosphere and very reasonable AI, much better than Metro. Metro borrows heavily from STALKER series but fails to deliver what STALKER delivered
ess wasim I think that is because STALKER allows you to free roam. I played STALKER first then went to Metro and at first I didn't like it because you are lead around everywhere most of the game and can't really go running around much. It is easier to get into the atmosphere of STALKER and more engrossed in it when you have all that freedom to explore the world and truly live it.
This makes me wonder if Joe played any of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games,which is basically the grandfather of Metro games
+Cannibal Joe I love the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games. One of my favorites.
still playin' stalker franchise
Just start playing last week, that was fucking amazing
HOW ON THE GOOD BLUE FUCK DID YOU GET THE NAME OF THE BUNKER
THE WHOLE CENTERPOINT OF THE GAME
WRONG?
LIKE
ugh bronies
HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW HOW TO USE COMMAS CORRECTLY!
he also forgot the fucking James Bond style puppy killing maniac of a bad guy. seriously I loved the game but WTF
Zygarde Glory u offended. im sorry u weird ass brony
Dubstep song near 2:00 is Lilith's Club, Noisia
One of the best game that I have ever played and I will never forget it.
me too
@@masrbldy4012 me too love this game except for some of the explicit content in this game.
The thing with the boss also happened to me.
I used up all my ammo and ended up having to knife the thing.
Same
The caves boss you can kill easily
The Cave boss?
+L0ST S0UL Nashorn?
Ben M i don't fucking know
This game is one of the best fps I've played. I regret not buying it earlier, got it from ps plus.
I love Metro games, but Metro 2033 is better than last light
+Pyrykoi I thought so too, I'm disappointed they redid 2033 with Last Lights gameplay.
agreed. Less badass. More scary. and gloomy.
True, but last light has a waifu and titties
Totally agree with you, it's even better with the Redux version.
If the monsters in this game don't make your butthole clench I don't know what will
That scene where the watchmen ran after your little rail car made my butt clench hard.. disrupting my and and sealing my fate
dunno, but the mutant bear didnt scare me as much as id expected it to... you cant argue against a saiga even on hardcore difficulty. that thing shreds.
guys i have arachnophobia and during spiderbug scenes i played the game from 3 metres and without headphones. 10/10
TypeZero poor you
I always come back to this game/series. It's so atmospheric where some moments just take your breath away, whether from supernatural shit or the poignancy of the storyline.
Translation guide for this video:
Easedropping ---> Eavesdropping
Cold soldier ---> Cold shoulder
Dingoes8MeBabies Eavesdropping is actually how it's pronounced and spelled.
***** Exactly. He said Easedropping, which ain't a word, just like "ain't".
Notice that the left to right arrow signifies "incorrect -> correct"
Oh, I thought you were talking about the CC for some reason.
Mandatory lapdance -> Lapdance you can exit
really hope we get a 3rd game
Hope it's better than the last and with more guns and attacthemts like the double barrel shot gun you can add another two barrels on it !:)
The author did make a new book.
+L0ST S0UL I want a crafting system like Fallout 4's one
But that you can actually find the mods, instead of just crafting them and nothing else
+sergiocast345 and also, that supressors can break like in Metal Gear Solid
+L0ST S0UL It needs to be better? It was a perfect game.
awesome review
*some times later*
a wild metro redux appeared ! gamer used wallet to capture it !
*after playing 2033 redux*
fucking worth every single cent I paid it , but wait , there's more...
*after playing last light redux*
*first ending*
I'm crying , how can this be ;_; ... BUT WAIT ! even more...
*second playthrough , alt ending*
I'm crying tears of happyness now , fuckin brilliant.... BUT WAAAAAIT !!
moaaar....
*side-story missions*
Okayy , so now I've played 100 % of both games. total time ? almost 70 hours of the greatest gameplay ever. Metro is the best post apocalyptic & story driven franchise of it's time for me. thanks to deep silver and 4A games for this masterpiece. (*.*)
"When you play a game and thank developers for coming up with the game, but then realise that the ENTIRE TJING WAS BASED OFF A BOOK SERIES"
+Zelousmarineinspace i know right ? :D Actually I read a glimpse of the book before playing , and actually the game's design really catch that "no hope" devastated post nuclear apocalyptic world that the book tries to make you imagine. I didn't read all of it , because i can't play a game if I already know the storyline , I feel bored in no time :(
Anyway , even if it was based on a book , I fucking loved it ;)
+Zelousmarineinspace but it was good though.
Mack Valencia Of Course it was good,
Gluhkovsky himself approves.
SuperJam But Artyom doesn't get hung halfway through the novel, there are no satanists, Borboun doesn't try to kill Artyom, and there is no "Children of the worm" cult, or mushroom vodka.
So not a PERFECT recreation, but it's damn good stuff
This + fallout would be awesome
No it wouldn't.
Yes. It's an amazing world. But it's an amazing focused single player game. So... no.
Lorryslorryss Fallout on GTA V's engine. Now that would be interesting.
Garry McMhastegut nahh
Garry McMhastegut LOL so every time I jump hitting walls and rocks and bellyflop like a retarded savant while having a seizure on the game for 3 seconds?
if you are interested in metro , I advise you to play the trilogy - S. T. A. L. K. E. R. is a game from the same developers who made metro and it has cult status in Russia , there is still a game survarium - is she also from the same developers , and is also good , but its been 4 years can not finish , there are flaws , but the game itself is good ! + all of these games are made on the novel roadside picnic from the Brothers Strugatsky , I advise you to read this classic of Russian fiction !
Dmitry D My uncle was featured in one of the Stalker games as himself (somewhat famous Russian personality). Yeah, the STALKER games are known well in Russia, but mostly because of the book series.
What STALKER game is your uncle in? I want to go looking for him. LOL. I hope we can eventually get another STALKER game.
Yes, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.! I just learned about it a couple weeks ago myself. Awesome game trilogy, for real. If you like Metro, then I would highly recommend S.T.A.L.K.E.R. as well.
This is how the Last of Us 2 should've written their revenge story.
Yeah, but even Metro LL which is the definition of a linear game, gave you choices in the revenge aspect. And either one of them felt satisfying.
Amazing game, but I will say this...Fuck that last level. Fuck it right to hell.
The Shitposting Spaghetti Monster
D6?
That shots _easy_.
And damn quick too.
Wait...you got stuck at the Tank didn't you...
love your reviews but you need to play the first game to fully understand anna. Your character used to work with anna's father and she blames you for his death which is why she gives you the cold shoulder. Later in the game after you get captured she feels bad for letting it happen and feels she is responsible for what you had to go through. Finally after you risk your life to go out of your way to save her and nearly die in the process she truly sees you are a good person and falls for you because in a hostile world you actually make her safe.
2033 is still a pretty good game I would recommend people to play it
Xroukle San well it has the better story imo
I tried it recently.
I really forced myself to go through it, I played till chapter 5 I think and it was just unbearably boring.
The story wasn't as amazing as people are pointing out too, for most of the time it's just: Take this Artyom and bring it to Polis.
@@enesaslan3912 if you've read the book
imagine this game with VR
Stonekinaggressor it's a little clunky but immersive as hell with a cheap VR
No thank you . Let that fad die out already.
Why would you want to skip 2033? I've never played either one, 2033 and Last Light are free on 360 next month so I'm checking out reviews. From what I've seen and heard, 2033 is still a good game, or at least worth playing for the atmosphere and stuff. Even if Last Light is better in almost every way, it would be worth playing 2033 first just so you know what's going on.
(And I'm not talking about the Redux version or whatever.)
I never understood why someone would purposely skip an earlier game in the series(assuming the story is consistent), just because it's a bit better. Of course, that's also assuming the previous game didn't suck, which in the case of Metro, doesn't seem to be the case. That'd be like skipping Borderlands 1 because Borderlands 2 did some things better, despite BL1 being fucking awesome still.
Also.... "How did all the factions end up in the same city?" Well..from my understanding having not played the game. They've all been there a while. Obviously the groups were formed while underground. As another comment said... Put a large group of people in a small area for long enough, and they'll form groups and find reasons to hate the others. Obviously some of them could have started above ground. Someone from a group happened to be underground when things happened or whatever, and they started it. Either way.
ALSO from what I understand, you can skip the lapdance by walking away. But to be fair to the existence of it, and the entire stripclub-like area..it wouldn't exactly be surprising to find a place like it if something like this was real. Honestly, I'm surprised sex and nudity isn't more common in other post-apocalyptic games like the recent Fallouts. Sex and Nudity is a big deal to a lot of people, and people would pay good money for it. I mean hell, strippers and prostitutes exist in current modern day society...would it really be that surprising to find it in a place like Metro? It's a society of people that's managed to form cities, factions, currency, guards, leaders, etc. Of course someone was gonna take the chance to make money off of sex. Not to mention it'd be one of the few forms of entertainment left. Not like they can just turn on the TV, or play games. Hell, they probably wouldn't even have access to many books, so they couldn't even read a book.
And you mentioned not having legs when looking down. Why the fuck is it so hard for game companies to add legs to FPS games? Some games do it, so it's obviously something that can be done. Why would you NOT add it? Do they just think people are never going to look down? As for the whole "Mute Protagonist" thing...I like it sometimes. It has to work like Half-Life 2 though, where the entire game, 'cutscenes' and all, takes place from your perspective, and still allows camera movement and stuff. It makes it feel like, despite being mute, that you're still an actual person there, and not just some cutout main character like most FPS games. Or I like how Fallout 3 and NV did it by not giving your character a voice, but still giving you dialogue options, allowing you to actually make choices and have quest-changing decisions in a conversation. Which also gives you a sense of being your own character and allowing you to get into it, but still giving you the ability to talk.
You mentioned that a lot of the story and lore is hidden. Well..that seems more realistic to me. You know what's not realistic? Random NPCs you just met giving you a 20 minute long talk about the history and backstory of your location, the people, and the enemies. And every NPC you meet shoving exposition into your face. You want to know the lore and extra story bits? Look around. Find the information yourself like you would actually have to do in a situation like this. It makes it more realistic, and also makes the main game less exposition-heavy. Not to mention it gives people that like to explore, extra incentive to do so, especially if you want to know everything you can. Besides, it's not like they put anything overly important in the hidden things. It's not like the really important objective and location of the next mission is in a note behind a locker. It'd all be optional information that people might find interesting to read.
Yea 2033 is already out, but they're actually doing last light too?
I didn't know that they were releasing last light as well, I got 2033 last night having zero experience with the series and I love it. I'm the type of guy that likes to take in all the details of whatever I'm playing and the atmosphere is incredible (wearing surround sound headphones adds to the creepy factor as well) I'm only about an hour into the game so I haven't experienced much but so far I would recommend it to anyone who likes a good post apocalyptic shooter
This game's highest score on Metacritic is only an 82
These 'game critics' don't know shit about great games
Spoiler alert !
Am i the only one who was very sad about Artyom dying in the end? Well at least he died a hero's death , he saved the metro , RIP Artyom
He survives in the good ending
How do you get the good ending?
JediJackalope Try not to kill anything that isn't trying to kill you.
tnx ill try
JediJackalope Actually there is a list that you can look up that will show you the moral point system. But the best way to get the good ending is to do these things. Explore and look around as much as possible, listen to people's conversations unless you're told to leave while listening to them, don't kill those surrendering to you, and don't kill mutants unless they are showing you aggression. There are a couple levels where you get a moral point if you go through the entire level without killing anyone also.
7:20 made me cry when I played it
dude.
mathX what broskie
Ss Corrupt crying for a game scene, is just weird.
mathX fuck off if your not gonna say somthing nice don't say anything at all
Ss Corrupt lol calm down bro, but grow up some balls, Imma just poitning my finger on what is weird; fix you bro.
Helpful Hint: Don't swap your filter when the little "beep beep beep" notification comes up. Because at that point you still have a whole minute left on that filter, and if you swap it then, you're just wasting filters. Stay with that filter for a while, and you'll hear Artyom start coughing and gasping when you really do need to change it. Because let's say you do 4 filter changes in a level. if you change all of those when the notification tells you to, then you've wasted 4 whole minutes of filter time. And filters can be sometimes annoying to find, especially on Harcore or Ranger modes. On Normal, they can still be somewhat scarce if you don't explore enough.
That's cold man. Poor baby Artyom. He just wanted to be a Stalker like his heroes :[
Nicholas Cataldo lol
It amazes me how good the game looks on the PS3. One of the best looking PS3 games I've ever seen.
Not quite as good as the Last of Us but still an amazing looking gae
*game
Jeff Taylor Better gameplay than Last of Us. Last of Us is a great story in a mediocre game. I hate the whole "Fuck gameplay, let's focus on story" trend of late.
Still don't stand a chance to how good it looks on the PC on max;D
Well obviously. Different tech behind both machines. That's like comparing a sports car to a Jet.
Are you my mommy?
I literally walked away from the stripper instantly. It meant so little to me that I forgot about it...
