I played exodus 2 and a half years ago and loved it but I didn't get the dlc and 2 days ago the game with dlc was on sale so I got it and with the series x upgrades it looks and feels even better, the difference in the lighting makes it feel even more immersive and atmospheric it really adds to the feeling of being scared and alone. I was looking up some videos about the graphics upgrade and saw your video which only come out on the day I got the game, I'm thinking that maybe you made the video after seeing the sale? But then again I'm sure there has been a ton of sales in the past so maybe not lol. Well I'm going to watch this video and jump straight into the right after😊👍
For any and all Metro fans, back in August of 22, Dmitry Glukhovsky did confirm that he is working with the studio to create another Metro game, picking up after the good/moral ending of Exodus, although he is not working on another book at the moment. -edit: For anyone curious, there were articles about this on gamesradar and gameinformer. Also, despite his “wanted status” by Russia for calling to a stop to the war, after the “law” passed to criminalize any mention of the conflict as a war or invasion, Dmitry luckily is residing outside of Russia.
One of my favorite things about this game is how realistic the conversations feel in this game. Where you have two npc's talking to each other and they keep going on and on for over 5 minutes long.. they even include you in the conversations if you listen in long enough.
But then it's arguably completely ruined by Artyom being a mute. Hopefully 4A makes conclusions from the two very successful DLCs with talking leads and allows Artyom to talk in the next installment
@@HaronYoungerBro funny enough, he starts talking right at the end of the game (just the good ending). So, perhaps he'll actually talk in the upcoming game?
You're lying if you're saying the conversations feel real. It's the worst voice acting I've ever heard in my life lmao. It's also like talking to that one person you know that just doesn't stop talking about the most useless shit except that friend is EVERYONE IN THE GAME.
@@ethanmetcalf9752They definitely don't feel natural during certain points of the game, and honestly a lot of the characters can be rough to listen. Outside of Artyoms narration, Anna, her dad, Sam and Krest, the rest seem pretty lacking. But the worst ever...? Bit of a stretch to me but I'm probably use to it because of the other games lol.
i mean yeah but also it makes him feel so awkward and seriously makes some of the emotional segments in all of the games feel so just weak? like the scene after caspian where anna coughs up blood and he just doesnt emote?
Bro if you want real immersion play it with a PS5 controller the triggers change based off what Gun you're using There's an actual "trigger break" for each different type of gun you use (the triggers have a different pulling force for each gun) and you can legit feel every time you pull the trigger so if you have any real experience with Firearms it will feel very familiar but it is very very immersive it actually took me by surprise the first time it happened and then I spent 10 minutes messing with it I even showed my wife she got super excited
Yeah they did a great job with the PS5 Dualshock integration! I enjoyed replaying the enhanced edition on PS5 more than my original PC playthrough TBH!
This sounds absolutely dope, but I hate how PS controllers are, if anyone knows a like xbox layout PS controller let me know (and yes lol, I know how sinful this sounds)
metro exodus was a pretty good game, until you got to the desert.... then it became one of the most immersive games ive ever played. holy shit that desert level still gives me chills thinking about it.
I've seen a lot of people bash it but i really liked the vibe it gave, especially at night. Chills indeed. The van was a fun and unique addition as well.
The oil fields at night with settings running at extreme...wow. Those purple-hued sunsets. It definitely helped that i muted the game's music and put my own ambient playlist on in the background tho. The audio in this game doesn't really fit at times (to my ears) and can be kinda harsh.
@@joshuamejia9642 Oh boo hoo your rig can run metro exodus on ultra but only at 55-45 fps.... Sorry, I'm just jealous bc my rig can barely run metro exodus.... also can you really tell much of a difference in frame rate until around 40? Maybe I'm just too used to my slow rig that i don't mind lower frame rates.
I can't express how excited I am for the Next sequel of this game next year , Metro exodus is an emotion for me , the whole journey with Artyom and his crew members was a hell of ride in every chapter.. I'm excited to see where the journey takes next more than anything!
I think a possible continue: After the group found the right clean spot to establish a new colony they go back to Moscow to bring people there. DLC possibility: Sam in the USA after his father.
I think Metro Exodus is one of very few games where Ray Tracing really shines. This game relies on the players flashlight to provide lighting in a lot of dark underground scenes, so lighting cannot be pre-baked. The way the whole room lights up from reflections when you turn on your flashlight in dark environments is truly amazing. And becuase it's realtime, you can really see how moving your headlight effects the whole rooms lighting, making the experience incredibly immersive.
I really hope for the new metro game: 1) they mix the semi-open-world formula more with linear dark metro tunnels - like the open world actually in a complex metro network underground with a few paths at the surface (first and last chapter were actually my favorite chapters in exodus lol) 2) the dark ones return into story focus 3) "where is Khan? is he safe, is he alright?"
@@KepleroGTmaybe more like 2033. At least for me, it always felt like something was off with last light. Not saying it's a bad game, perhaps it could be just the lack of weapons from the previous title. Or maybe it simply wasn't as hard and scary? I don't know how to exactly describe it.
@@gkbrickworks7924 i really liked It tbh. You can easily tell how artyom's character progresses as the games do too. First game, you're an un-experienced young Man who Is forced to leave the comfort of His home to protect said place. As you go on you discover the dangers of the metro and its quite unfriendly nature. You get a brief look at the state of the metro's sociopolitics But you're not really part of It and you only observe the conflict briefly. You Watch the heavy contrast between the various diferent stations, from the decaying jinxed station to the industrial Armory, or the sophisticated polis. At last, you make the most important decition of your life. You destroy what you believe Is the source of all your station's problems. On the second game, you're the soldier of one of the most prominent factions in the whole metro, you are tasked with killing the last vestige of those who you destroyed to save your kind.
This game hits so close to perfection, it's criminal. Gameplay, story, atmosphere and even the most mundane cutscenes interlaced to gameplay is just amazing.
When I picked up the first Metro game, I can't stop playing and went on to play the rest of the series. It's amazing and has one of the most immersive systems out there.
Thank you for the video. Recently I've played all three Metro series games, and on max difficulty they are much more immersive. They made these games comfortable to play with very few hud parts on the screen making complete full immersion and some kind of synergy with the protagonist and the world itself. A truly masterpiece.
100% agree with you. I couldnt play on easy after i tried the hardest difficulty. So great and immersive that, in fact, i couldnt play any other games for weeks...
Top-notch series for immersive single player. The level design is phenomenal, with a crazy attention to detail that helps tell the story and build a believable world. Truly some passionate and talented devs. I'll be replaying these forever, especially thanks to the remasters of the first two.
Oh I love how grounded Metro can be if you play it right (Ranger mode and whatnot). Exodus drove me crazy though with its wonky controls and getting stuck on bits of scenery all the time. But hell yeah, the immersion (in all 3 games) was so amazing ...
@@AmyCherryLMAO For the purpose of the game, yes. Dark souls looked like Devil may cry to me, until I started playing.. Unfair to put the label of "bad game" when I wanted to play different from what was proposed
I just replayed Metro 2033, and last light, then picked up Exodus all of them for a criminally low amount of money. Never played Exodus, but man has the game blown me away. The graphics, terrain design, weapons, characters, it’s just a big chefs kiss. I think it’s one of the only games where I stand around to hear all the characters talk through all of their dialogue lines, they make the game that much more immersive.
man i literally never knew about this game until i randomly played metro 2033 out of random not even knowing any backstory to it or anything and god this series is insane. i still have yet to get exodus on the ps5 but im def going to once i finish all my games i gotta finish lol
I did the same thing. Went back and replayed Exodus to keep it Russian after Atomic Heart. Also ended up finally playing Metro 2033 and Last Light for the first time and absolutely loved them. Both run at 60 fps on console as well and really hold up well. Can’t believe I had never played them before.
@@turtleneck369 I’ve tried to find it but it’s pretty expensive on the second hand market. Well not expensive expensive, but overpriced in my opinion. I missed out on the free giveaway in 2021 and they delisted it so you can’t buy it outright anymore.
Exodus & last light are in my top 5 games ever made, I don't have Miller's dlc but Sam's Story was more of everything that made Exodus amazing and, unlike a lot of DLC for other games the story for Exodus' from what I have experienced and heard is even better than the main games, I really love the way Exodus mixed environmental story telling with the plot and how every character fit within it. apparently a new metro is in the works & I know not everyone loved the open world (mainly due to oversaturation in the market it seems) but Exodus' world was unique, masterfully crafted and super fun to explore, I cannot wait to see how they improve upon this game.
Completed Metro: Exodus twice now!!!!! One of the best atmospheric FPS games I've ever played... TIPS: turn the music off (its a bit immersion breaking), take your time exploring every corner of the map, finally try to play it like its real life, "non-lethal" as many neutral humans as possible, talk to all the characters in between each mission on the Aurora, the character building monologues are superb... finally take time to admire all the scenery and take in the feels.... Its one of the craziest experiences you'll ever have!!!!!
I might replay this one too... such a good game got overlooked by most. Haven't played the enhanced edition and with my shiny new card it should look insane.
I literally felt.. a lot of things while playing metro last light, it was one of the most atmospheric, immersive game i've ever played. I felt the desperation, the fear, and sometimes even feeling that i can't explain (like in the ending). Shit was extreme i had to stop playing video game for a while
I played and adored the first segment of this game on my old pc but it had so many issues running. Ended up buying it on ps5 last year before realizing that I can't do fps on controllers. But I just got a new PC and the enhanced edition came free with the base game, so it's finally time for me to go back and experience the full thing.
I love the metro games, my only issue is it feels like 70% of the games I cant actually use my skills to eliminate enemies. I love moral dilemmas but not to the put it makes it so I cant use the cool combat. Besides that they are awesome games and deserve all the praise they get
I played through this recently, got the bad ending unfortunately, but I still loved the experience. I think the end got a little easier but much more tedious, but that's really my only complaint.
This game is so special. With Russian voice audio and the new game plus feature "real time weather" (which makes 24 hours in-game = 24 hours in the real world) it's the most immersive game available on consoles, possibly the most immersive overall.
@@Brandon_Y. "Play and shoot guns" You realize that's the point. Have you ever held a firearm? It's not like Fortnite, bud, where you run around "quickscoping." Metro is unique because everything, the weapons, equipment management, and player movement are actually realistic. Lmfao your argument is a joke. Go play War zone little bud.
@@Brandon_Y. Is it really? The gunplay felt really good to me. Great even. It felt quite heavy but I personally preffer that to the quite common weightless unrealistic guns.
@@toytacambery9427 you people really cant understand when someone wants actually responsive controls in an FPS, can you?? You can have the same inmersive and semi-realistic feel that comes with this types of games without it feeling like an early 2000s slav jank game
About to start this tinight. 1 complaint about last light is the stinginess of air filters makes it hard to explore/follow certain plot events via constantly gasping for air/frantically searching. Hope this ones not as stingy lol.
I know you're not a let's play youtuber but I feel like an occasional let's play of a game that you really enjoy would be nice. Also should you ever do a let's play I think the metro series would be amazing
I feel like this is Baby’s first STALKER and it’s absolutely great for it, just the right amount of difficulty along with amazing immersion and great story
I absolutely love the Metro games, they are so damn good, I replay the entire series at least once a year, I will say though the controls/sensitivity on contoller are a bit weird but you get used to it, honestly I think it fits the world and gameplay, trying to get thru the books but they are sooooo long lol
exodus you feel mor elike a roving bandit than a spartan ranger protecting the metro its crazy how it feels so real like they were something in moscow metro but once they ventured out they lost all authority they became rhe outsiders its such a beautiful contrast that i believe its a disservice to play exodus first because you arent immersed fully
I’m going to be purchasing this game because of one thing you said. When you said “is this the difficulty that wastes ammo when I reload” my ears perked right up. I always thought this was kind of a normie theme park shooter based off of the very impressive graphics and I am so pleasantly surprised to see that it has a more Tarkov leaning gun system. Before I buy a shooter, I watch gameplay on UA-cam and as soon as I see incorrect reloading animations (racking the bolt after you reload on a non-empty magazine) I write the game off for good. I was surprised to see Metro got that part right but I never expected a difficultly system where you actually had to manage the rounds in your mags. Never played a metro game and I’m going straight to ranger difficulty mode. Wish me luck boys I’m gonna need it.
I searched for this video yesterday on your channel. Glad today it found me😊. Thanks for all you do man. You give games a much needed fresh perspective
Too immersive? It's the best made game of forever. I play games like these on the most hardocre difficulty if possible and only Metro, especially Exodus has nailed it 100%. Even the lack of HUD is substituted by sound cues for throwables. They have thought of everything. Granted I have spent 6 hours replaying the escape just to get used to the keys and game mechanics but from then on its just mindblowing.
i have completed the main campaign of metro exodus 4 times already. cried every single time. i have completed each dlc twice. cried each time. metro exodus just knows how to tell a good story and how to make u love the characters.
I love the first Metro games as much as one can love a computer game, they are amongst my all time favourite FPS. Which really means something, considering that I've played my first FPS 35 years ago. I have 100%-ed or platined them on both PC and PS4, I've played both on Ranger countless times. Exodus though... First of all, the controls are... suboptimal. No idea what happened, but they are worse than in the predecessors. Also, I actually hate that you are supposed to not kill anyone, _in a shooter,_ for the good ending. I hated even more that _one_ tiny slip can cost you the good ending, even more so when this slip was not even killing anyone. I spend _so_ much time sneaking around, only knocking out people and then there is this stealth part in the desert level, I get discovered, can't fall back to a savegame, because _of course_ the game has to overwrite my manual save and as the result, I did not get the companion from this level and subsequently miss the good ending. Sure. And about immersion, well, this game broke it so often. With NPCs making endless annoying speeches that completely got me out of the game, for instance. With the 'no killing' policy. I get it, Artjom is different and he preserved a humanity others have lost in this cruel world, but when you face completely ruthless bandits who rob, torture and kill defenseless people... you don't just knock them out, so they can get up and exact revenge on the same people you supposedly want to protect. Even more so when you plan to leave this place and those people. Congrats, you've just made life _worse_ for them. And how immersive is it that a potential companion will not join you not because you killed everyone, but because you've got discovered in a stupid stealth part? 'Oh, you are just such a terrible ninja, it would be unwise to come with you!', is that it? But the worst parts are the 'we have to care about Anya' parts, which often enough just felt painful. Minutes upon minutes where you are forced to listen to her talking, only interrupted by overlays telling you to fondle her hand. How immersive. I can't even count how often I've played the first two games, whereas I will touch Exodus never again. Of course this is just me and my personal taste, but I wonder what this says about this game.
There is not a no killing policy, the vast majority of enemies are fair game. All outside of 6 spots. Almost everyone in caspian, all in yamantau and most in the other 2 still. You can kill hundreds, every hostile bandit, slaver, or otherwise. You can only not kill the volga cult, slaves, inmocents, the forest children, and the pirates (only AFTER olga asks you not to).
@@blader127b Thanks for explaining! Well, I still did not kill anyone at all, apart from that one part where you have to fight off hordes of enemies and still did not end up with the perfect ending, because I've made _one_ slip in that stupid stealth section. Would have been still not a problem, _if_ the devs had not decided it is perfectly fine to let the player make manual saves and then... let the game overwrite them.
personally i preffered the first two games, when your basically almost totally confined to the inside of the metro. It's a unique feeling, knowing the surface is covered in monsters and radiation; you felt very confined and stifled. Exodus was a great game but it diverged very much from the first two in terms of it's game and level design.
Hey Jayvee, I recommend you play the S.T.A.L.K.E.R games, a new installment will be released this year; some of the Ukrainian devs of the first entry would eventually make the Metro games; though I recommend playing Shadow of Chornobyl and Clear Sky with vanilla mods that fix several of the glitches.
currently replaying this on pc as well with dlss and raytracing, which is pretty damn nice @ 1440p 90-130 fps on my 2060super just got to the desert area, forgot how crazy the first part of the game was with all the cannibals... playing on hard mode too so giving full challenge
I just got this game yesterday for 11.99 and got 3 different metro games good deal for 3 plus bonus DLC the deal ends in 3 day’s! I like the graphics on it and the open world adventures.
I absolutely hated 1st person games. Just couldn't get into them until I picked up the metro series. I absolutely love this series! And even though the first game is years old it's still a great game to play. I've just finished last light the other day. Currently going through the extra missions. But now I'm going back to the beginning to try get every karma point. It's turned out to be one of my top favourite games ever and exodus had been out for 4 years. So I've been very late to the party🤦🏻♂️😂. I can't decide which is my favourite. It's between last light or exodus. But the 1st still is a good contender 🤔🤷🏻♂️
I've played this game through many times trying different ways to get through everything. Stealth is the best if you really want a good ending, plus being forgiving, well you will have to check the youtube for the good ending. My only hint is forgiveness and stealth. Good luck have fun.
There were some things I really loved about Exodus. However, when I played 2033 and Last Light, I fell in love, cuz they were just so different and unique. And well, I felt like Exodus kinda lost some of that "feel" that they had, that bit of magic that made them unique.
for everyone watching this i highly recommend playigng the games in order i played exodus first and i wouldve had so much more fun and found so many mote secrets if i had experienced the first two games there so many nods and things you learn in that game and skills that get built upon in exodus that youd never appreciate unless you played the first games its one of those games that the more you play it the better it gets even if you beat it once you deff didnt achieve everything its such an in depth game to experience the full package you have to sink alot of time and immerse your self into environment and lore will just make you better at playing and more skilled spartan
I been playing it for the 1st time, definitely well worth it, definitely didnt expect this, robocop, and gotham knights to be my new favorites, of course spiderman 2 and ac mirage
I recently got all three games on discount and I can definitely say it was the BEST $10 I ever spent and it was one of the best solo games I’ve played in recent time.
i saw the title and i was like "metro? hmm that sounds familliar" then i remember getting ambushed by some gargoyle looking monsters shitting my pants and the previous games was pretty lonely, i recall. I'm playing this game for sure, gaming was good back then.

@@iurysaraiva3411 I mean, is it fair to expect controls that aren't hard to manuever and master within the first hour most of the time?
@@AmyCherryLMAO For the purpose of the game, yes. Dark souls looked like Devil may cry to me, until I started playing.. Unfair to put the label of "bad game" when I wanted to play different from what was proposed
I just replayed Metro 2033, and last light, then picked up Exodus all of them for a criminally low amount of money.
Never played Exodus, but man has the game blown me away. The graphics, terrain design, weapons, characters, it’s just a big chefs kiss.
I think it’s one of the only games where I stand around to hear all the characters talk through all of their dialogue lines, they make the game that much more immersive.
man i literally never knew about this game until i randomly played metro 2033 out of random not even knowing any backstory to it or anything and god this series is insane. i still have yet to get exodus on the ps5 but im def going to once i finish all my games i gotta finish lol
I did the same thing. Went back and replayed Exodus to keep it Russian after Atomic Heart. Also ended up finally playing Metro 2033 and Last Light for the first time and absolutely loved them. Both run at 60 fps on console as well and really hold up well. Can’t believe I had never played them before.
welcome
the 2033 2010 pc version is gem must play redux is better but it's easier and not the same 😅
@@turtleneck369 I’ve tried to find it but it’s pretty expensive on the second hand market. Well not expensive expensive, but overpriced in my opinion. I missed out on the free giveaway in 2021 and they delisted it so you can’t buy it outright anymore.
what did u mean saying "keep it russian"?
I love the metro series, exodus is my favorite! glad your playing it lmao
Love the whole series ... one of the best solo games imo
Love the videos you make man, one of my favourite youtuber, go king 👑
ahh so many great youtubers out there! i appreciate you 🫡
@@jayveeeee but not many with this type of videos 💜
I loved these games. I finally got around to playing all of them back to back few months ago and was legit kinda sad when i finished.
same, left me wishing the game was endless lol
Exodus & last light are in my top 5 games ever made, I don't have Miller's dlc but Sam's Story was more of everything that made Exodus amazing and, unlike a lot of DLC for other games the story for Exodus' from what I have experienced and heard is even better than the main games, I really love the way Exodus mixed environmental story telling with the plot and how every character fit within it.
apparently a new metro is in the works & I know not everyone loved the open world (mainly due to oversaturation in the market it seems) but Exodus' world was unique, masterfully crafted and super fun to explore, I cannot wait to see how they improve upon this game.
Completed Metro: Exodus twice now!!!!!
One of the best atmospheric FPS games I've ever played...
TIPS: turn the music off (its a bit immersion breaking), take your time exploring every corner of the map, finally try to play it like its real life, "non-lethal" as many neutral humans as possible, talk to all the characters in between each mission on the Aurora, the character building monologues are superb... finally take time to admire all the scenery and take in the feels....
Its one of the craziest experiences you'll ever have!!!!!
Even though this game engine is last gen, I'm still really impressed by the beauty and detail.
They used a lot of industry tricks, mixed with good lighting to make it look good. The textures themselves are very low fidelity on a closer look 😂
@@Doomsday499 the textures being so low resolution is actually a pretty big surprise. There’s no reason they can’t be higher.
Metro Exodus makes Fallout 4 look like a Triple F game.
I love how this marriage simulator also comes with a good fps campaign as an extra.
I might replay this one too... such a good game got overlooked by most. Haven't played the enhanced edition and with my shiny new card it should look insane.
I played it in the hardest difficulty without any HUD. Best experience in games I had in years!
I literally felt.. a lot of things while playing metro last light, it was one of the most atmospheric, immersive game i've ever played.
I felt the desperation, the fear, and sometimes even feeling that i can't explain (like in the ending).
Shit was extreme i had to stop playing video game for a while
I didn't even know you could sneak at 17:24 , I just killed them all lol
I played and adored the first segment of this game on my old pc but it had so many issues running. Ended up buying it on ps5 last year before realizing that I can't do fps on controllers. But I just got a new PC and the enhanced edition came free with the base game, so it's finally time for me to go back and experience the full thing.
I love seamless cutscenes too. Dying Light has that too, I love it.
I love the metro games, my only issue is it feels like 70% of the games I cant actually use my skills to eliminate enemies. I love moral dilemmas but not to the put it makes it so I cant use the cool combat.
Besides that they are awesome games and deserve all the praise they get
I played through this recently, got the bad ending unfortunately, but I still loved the experience. I think the end got a little easier but much more tedious, but that's really my only complaint.
I definitely loved the first half better. After the desert I think it got worse
@@hawkeyefigure yeah trash opinion as always
One of my favorite games of all time, this video really inspired me to go back and play it one more time :D
Absolutely love the metro series🔥❤️
I don’t know why but mute main character are kinda nice and nostalgic
This game is so special. With Russian voice audio and the new game plus feature "real time weather" (which makes 24 hours in-game = 24 hours in the real world) it's the most immersive game available on consoles, possibly the most immersive overall.
still clunky to actually play and shoot guns.
@@Brandon_Y. compared to the older metro games, not really
@@Brandon_Y. "Play and shoot guns"
You realize that's the point. Have you ever held a firearm? It's not like Fortnite, bud, where you run around "quickscoping." Metro is unique because everything, the weapons, equipment management, and player movement are actually realistic. Lmfao your argument is a joke. Go play War zone little bud.
@@Brandon_Y. Is it really? The gunplay felt really good to me. Great even. It felt quite heavy but I personally preffer that to the quite common weightless unrealistic guns.
@@toytacambery9427 you people really cant understand when someone wants actually responsive controls in an FPS, can you?? You can have the same inmersive and semi-realistic feel that comes with this types of games without it feeling like an early 2000s slav jank game
About to start this tinight. 1 complaint about last light is the stinginess of air filters makes it hard to explore/follow certain plot events via constantly gasping for air/frantically searching. Hope this ones not as stingy lol.
I know you're not a let's play youtuber but I feel like an occasional let's play of a game that you really enjoy would be nice. Also should you ever do a let's play I think the metro series would be amazing
It’s always so weird to me seeing the UI since I always play on Ranger difficulty so I’ve basically never seen the HUD 😂
The game is fire and the best ending were you survive is wholesome and sets up for a sequel we never got
the metro trilogy are fr some of the best fps games ever made
One of my favorite games of all time, just so fun and immersive! We need more FPS' like this
Glad to see metro getting the love it deserves! there will be a new metro idk when and a new stalker december 2023
And now we wait for Jayvee to play STALKER. Or if he dares to go in full blind, full slav, ANOMALY
I feel like this is Baby’s first STALKER and it’s absolutely great for it, just the right amount of difficulty along with amazing immersion and great story
Stalker is more like baby’s first Metro. Metro is a far better game.
I absolutely love the Metro games, they are so damn good, I replay the entire series at least once a year, I will say though the controls/sensitivity on contoller are a bit weird but you get used to it, honestly I think it fits the world and gameplay, trying to get thru the books but they are sooooo long lol
I'll tell you, the books were really depressing
exodus you feel mor elike a roving bandit than a spartan ranger protecting the metro its crazy how it feels so real like they were something in moscow metro but once they ventured out they lost all authority they became rhe outsiders its such a beautiful contrast that i believe its a disservice to play exodus first because you arent immersed fully
There need to be more games like the Metro series
Stalker 2 heart of Chernobyl
I’m going to be purchasing this game because of one thing you said. When you said “is this the difficulty that wastes ammo when I reload” my ears perked right up.
I always thought this was kind of a normie theme park shooter based off of the very impressive graphics and I am so pleasantly surprised to see that it has a more Tarkov leaning gun system.
Before I buy a shooter, I watch gameplay on UA-cam and as soon as I see incorrect reloading animations (racking the bolt after you reload on a non-empty magazine) I write the game off for good. I was surprised to see Metro got that part right but I never expected a difficultly system where you actually had to manage the rounds in your mags.
Never played a metro game and I’m going straight to ranger difficulty mode. Wish me luck boys I’m gonna need it.
If you want to understand the world, I can wholeheartedly recommend the books. They are legitimately great and really help flesh out the world more.
The entire series holds a special place in my heart lol
All 3 games with all dlcs on exodus are on sale together as a bundle for only $11! On Xbox right now. Only 2 days left guys
Always excited to watch your new videos Jayvee, 🙌Metro Exodus is so underrated, amazing game 👏👏👏👏
thanks dude!! yeah this game is a gem for sure :)
I loved this game and the DLC. I'd love to replay this once I get another gaming laptop.
I recently had turned 18 when this came out. Was a fantastic birthday present. I was so hyped for this masterpiece
I searched for this video yesterday on your channel. Glad today it found me😊. Thanks for all you do man. You give games a much needed fresh perspective
I just played it April 2023.
PS Stores has the ps5 version for $9 Canadian ($6 US). Great game.
Too immersive? It's the best made game of forever. I play games like these on the most hardocre difficulty if possible and only Metro, especially Exodus has nailed it 100%. Even the lack of HUD is substituted by sound cues for throwables. They have thought of everything. Granted I have spent 6 hours replaying the escape just to get used to the keys and game mechanics but from then on its just mindblowing.
i have completed the main campaign of metro exodus 4 times already. cried every single time. i have completed each dlc twice. cried each time. metro exodus just knows how to tell a good story and how to make u love the characters.
I wish I could do this! My fear of massive spider like creatures makes it impossible
I love the first Metro games as much as one can love a computer game, they are amongst my all time favourite FPS. Which really means something, considering that I've played my first FPS 35 years ago. I have 100%-ed or platined them on both PC and PS4, I've played both on Ranger countless times. Exodus though...
First of all, the controls are... suboptimal. No idea what happened, but they are worse than in the predecessors. Also, I actually hate that you are supposed to not kill anyone, _in a shooter,_ for the good ending. I hated even more that _one_ tiny slip can cost you the good ending, even more so when this slip was not even killing anyone. I spend _so_ much time sneaking around, only knocking out people and then there is this stealth part in the desert level, I get discovered, can't fall back to a savegame, because _of course_ the game has to overwrite my manual save and as the result, I did not get the companion from this level and subsequently miss the good ending. Sure.
And about immersion, well, this game broke it so often. With NPCs making endless annoying speeches that completely got me out of the game, for instance. With the 'no killing' policy. I get it, Artjom is different and he preserved a humanity others have lost in this cruel world, but when you face completely ruthless bandits who rob, torture and kill defenseless people... you don't just knock them out, so they can get up and exact revenge on the same people you supposedly want to protect. Even more so when you plan to leave this place and those people. Congrats, you've just made life _worse_ for them.
And how immersive is it that a potential companion will not join you not because you killed everyone, but because you've got discovered in a stupid stealth part? 'Oh, you are just such a terrible ninja, it would be unwise to come with you!', is that it? But the worst parts are the 'we have to care about Anya' parts, which often enough just felt painful. Minutes upon minutes where you are forced to listen to her talking, only interrupted by overlays telling you to fondle her hand. How immersive.
I can't even count how often I've played the first two games, whereas I will touch Exodus never again. Of course this is just me and my personal taste, but I wonder what this says about this game.
There is not a no killing policy, the vast majority of enemies are fair game. All outside of 6 spots. Almost everyone in caspian, all in yamantau and most in the other 2 still. You can kill hundreds, every hostile bandit, slaver, or otherwise.
You can only not kill the volga cult, slaves, inmocents, the forest children, and the pirates (only AFTER olga asks you not to).
@@blader127b Thanks for explaining! Well, I still did not kill anyone at all, apart from that one part where you have to fight off hordes of enemies and still did not end up with the perfect ending, because I've made _one_ slip in that stupid stealth section. Would have been still not a problem, _if_ the devs had not decided it is perfectly fine to let the player make manual saves and then... let the game overwrite them.
when games are made with love, it shows
Soo which version can you tell me to play? Enhanced or Original?
This game is a freaking masterpiece.
personally i preffered the first two games, when your basically almost totally confined to the inside of the metro. It's a unique feeling, knowing the surface is covered in monsters and radiation; you felt very confined and stifled. Exodus was a great game but it diverged very much from the first two in terms of it's game and level design.
Hey Jayvee, I recommend you play the S.T.A.L.K.E.R games, a new installment will be released this year; some of the Ukrainian devs of the first entry would eventually make the Metro games; though I recommend playing Shadow of Chornobyl and Clear Sky with vanilla mods that fix several of the glitches.
its not wasteland, its how it is here in winter
These games are so good. The world of the metro is so well made and immersive, it really feels like an actual lived in environment.
if you can read the books or the audiobook version, they are different but 100% great stories. the first audiobook is a masterpiece in of itself.
Metro is amazing. But I never finished Ex because I got stuck in a room and simply could not get nor finish the mission.
14:57 be honest with me how many times did you get lasered there?
honestly i didn't die there! i don't know how but hey i died plenty of times in other parts
currently replaying this on pc as well with dlss and raytracing, which is pretty damn nice @ 1440p 90-130 fps on my 2060super
just got to the desert area, forgot how crazy the first part of the game was with all the cannibals... playing on hard mode too so giving full challenge
Metro has a very good way of making transitions.. looks very nice
I just got this game yesterday for 11.99 and got 3 different metro games good deal for 3 plus bonus DLC the deal ends in 3 day’s! I like the graphics on it and the open world adventures.
Patrolling the Metros almost makes you wish for a Nuclear Winter
the RTGI carries the look of this game so much, the textures and character models look like theyre straight outta 2013
I absolutely hated 1st person games. Just couldn't get into them until I picked up the metro series. I absolutely love this series! And even though the first game is years old it's still a great game to play. I've just finished last light the other day. Currently going through the extra missions. But now I'm going back to the beginning to try get every karma point. It's turned out to be one of my top favourite games ever and exodus had been out for 4 years. So I've been very late to the party🤦🏻♂️😂. I can't decide which is my favourite. It's between last light or exodus. But the 1st still is a good contender 🤔🤷🏻♂️
I've played this game through many times trying different ways to get through everything. Stealth is the best if you really want a good ending, plus being forgiving, well you will have to check the youtube for the good ending. My only hint is forgiveness and stealth. Good luck have fun.
The entire metro series is like 20 something bucks on steam right now. Definitely worth the buy.
22:12 lol hey stepdad. Is there something about Artyom and Anna we should know about? That’s a very different genre.
There were some things I really loved about Exodus. However, when I played 2033 and Last Light, I fell in love, cuz they were just so different and unique. And well, I felt like Exodus kinda lost some of that "feel" that they had, that bit of magic that made them unique.
This is one heck of a great series.
for everyone watching this i highly recommend playigng the games in order i played exodus first and i wouldve had so much more fun and found so many mote secrets if i had experienced the first two games there so many nods and things you learn in that game and skills that get built upon in exodus that youd never appreciate unless you played the first games its one of those games that the more you play it the better it gets even if you beat it once you deff didnt achieve everything its such an in depth game to experience the full package you have to sink alot of time and immerse your self into environment and lore will just make you better at playing and more skilled spartan
This video just convinced me to get all 3 games, especially because they're on sale for $3-5!
I been playing it for the 1st time, definitely well worth it, definitely didnt expect this, robocop, and gotham knights to be my new favorites, of course spiderman 2 and ac mirage
One of the best games I've ever played. I also played through the Two Colonels dlc and yet have to play Sam's Story
Jayvee confirmed based. 0:55
the metro games will always continue to be the best for story telling
I recently got all three games on discount and I can definitely say it was the BEST $10 I ever spent and it was one of the best solo games I’ve played in recent time.
I plan on picking it up now and i watched so many videos on youtube and now you show up with a video about it. Perfect 😂
If you think this is immersive, a vr metro game has been announced and i personally am way too excited for it.
I've played the other's but not this one yet ,I've just bought it for 5 British Sterling for the steam deck , can't wait
i saw the title and i was like "metro? hmm that sounds familliar" then i remember getting ambushed by some gargoyle looking monsters shitting my pants and the previous games was pretty lonely, i recall. I'm playing this game for sure, gaming was good back then.
Steam should pay you kickbacks during steam sales I'm either playing old games cause I watched you or about to buy the game which is on sale when you're playing it
I hope you didn't hit the bug the jacks up your inventory and makes you lose items permanently.
