Metro Exodus (PC, PS, XB)

_CreeD_ · 14-02-2019 8:30pm

So I finally signed on for the Epic store and was going to pick this up, then saw their great price drop facilitated by the lower cost of doing business with Epic doesn't extend to Europe. It's the exact same fkn price as it would typically be on Steam @ 60 quid.

Headshot · 14-02-2019 8:36pm

any one know what time are Epic releasing this to download tomorrow?

Headshot · 15-02-2019 1:02am

Should of known the Epic ****e wouldnt have the game available to download at might

Argos pricing is disappointing. 64.99

Best for physical release seems to be Smyths @ 59.99

Am I naive that I forgot Special Editions on PC were still a thing.
This reviewed quite well but I never knew it was even out today. Same with Far Cry New Dawn & Crackdown 3 which reviewed less favourably.

18-02-2019 9:37am

Played about 5-6 hours of this.

It really is brilliant. And one of the best games I've seen on the Xbox one X @ 4k

It's holds everything that made Metro a great game, the atmosphere ramped up to 10, retains some of it's linearity and then opens up into a semi open world / sandbox.

I have a ps4 pro and am really tempted to get an X to go along with it for third party games like this. It's brilliant on the X by all accounts and the best you'll get on a console. So dam tempted

I'm refusing to get this until I complete the first two. Started 2033 for the umpteenth time this weekend. I like it but I've always been distracted by something before the end. Anytime I reinstall I prefer to start from scratch. I've started this and Last Light so many times I'm not sure which is which.

Stick with it, both are brilliant.

The first two games are relatively short. About 8-10 hours max for each.

Put down the RE2 speedruns for a week

Although I'm hovering between this & RE2 Remake myself whenever Fred Jr Lets me

Redo91 · 18-02-2019 6:44pm

Am I right in saying Metro Redux is basically the first two games in one?

If so what are the changes (if any) made between these and the originals?

gimli2112 · 18-02-2019 6:56pm

Yes Redux is the first two games.

I only have the redux versions. I presume they're graphically tuned up, the first one is pretty old at this stage.

Cheers! I figured as much but just I’d check in case there was anything left out from the originals. Available for €15 on Amazon so will pick that up.

On sale in PSN store for €8 at the moment, although I think that sale finishes today/tomorrow

Headshot · 23-02-2019 11:43pm

Finished this today.

Really enjoyable game but my god the amount of bugs on the PC version is unreal. How the game got through testing is mind boggling but I still found it an enjoyable game.

One of my favourite bugs is i'm fighting with Damir and all of a sudden the mutants come out and he's firing at them and they all die but nope Damir continues walking on firing and firing and firing. while this is going on I had to crawl through a tight spot and all of a sudden the game crashes.

The Anna relationship I found really heart felt story

and I was quite sad at the end

23-02-2019 11:56pm

I'm on the one x

I've not finished yet but I'd say I'm close to the end.

It's a brilliant game, but yeah some occasional bugs. The game has randomly crashed about 3 times. Other than that the console version has been spot on.

LuckyFinigan · 26-02-2019 11:57pm

I'm torn whether or not I should get this on PC. I built a new PC a few months back and I was really looking forward to playing this on it but the whole epic store exclusivity has really put me off. Not sure if I should hold off for another while in hope it'll come out on steam or just get the ps4 version to tide me over

06-03-2019 12:13am

Started this last night and I'm into to the open area of the game. Just not sitting right with me at the minute, and not sure what it is. Enemies feel more spongey than I remember from the previous games (playing on normal) and I'm crying out for a mouse to aim.

You can now lure/distract with thrown items which I like but the enemies don't seem to react as I'd expect on a few occasions I used it.

Also it looks nice but not as nice I was expecting on the X on a 4k display.

ValdasANS · 07-03-2019 6:58pm

cant wait to have a go it looks great

08-03-2019 11:04pm

Nope not liking much over all. I think maybe if I rigidly stuck to the story and did nothing it else it might be better, not that there is much side stuff just that it's pointless other than to affect the games ending and getting collectibles.

Was far better experience as a linear game. The linear sections in this have been decent in places.

The gun play is terrible as I mentioned and it's not just my ****ty aiming, the controls are getting patched this week to address the issues. The lighting during the day on the Caspian level when driving is way too harsh and god forbid you turn on HDR you can't see a thing at times. The driving itself there is crazy in that you can easily get stuck with no way to unstick the car. Stealth doesn't seem as good as Redux games either, throwing cans as a distraction is hit or miss due to some wonky AI.

I know Artyom is silent in these games but there are times in this where it really feels like he should be saying something.

sweetie · 11-03-2019 11:20am

Anyone, Dublin based, fancy swapping this (XB or PS) for Devil May Cry 5 (PS4) in a day or two?

The first game got a big revamp in the Redux package. The second just got graphics upgrades.

The first game got the levels structured together better as they were very stand alone into each area and disjointed. They also added Ranger mode from Last Light that makes the first game a bit easier and lets you play it more action based than the stealth option you were always forced into in the first game.

gimli2112 · 11-03-2019 12:10pm

I went with the Ranger mode, the default setting didn't sound appealing. I got stuck twice in Last Light. Once battling werewolves waiting on a boat (which subsequently turned out easy enough) and another in a cave, again with the Werewolves but there was a bigger one too, if I remember right. Haven't reached either scenario yet but have put it aside for now.

11-03-2019 12:48pm

I want this game to end now. Not even bothering doing the side missions. It's just far too boring and the guns feel weak and rubbish.
Roll on Sekiro next week.

12-03-2019 12:04am

Finished it this evening, the last few levels are better in that they are more linear . The final area though seemed like a poor copy paste from previous games and it dragged on and on and on. They even managed a f'n boat section ffs like.

It's been a few years since I played the redux games but I don't recall having issue with stealth and combat in those and those were serious issues in this, they plain didn't work in some situations and I'm not looking forward to doing it on Ranger if I even bother.

budhabob · 29-10-2019 10:10pm

Only came across this game recently, I'm thoroughly enjoying it.....the dialogue is quite chunky though

Temptamperu · 28-11-2019 7:04pm

Should I buy this? its only 20 quid but im on the fence.

Yes, its a great story based fps game, best ive played in aaaages tbh..

28-11-2019 11:05pm

Yeah I really enjoyed it. Has a good flow to it, progresses nicely without any lulls. It's not a "cinematic" but has a decent story line to it.

tuxy · 28-11-2019 11:07pm

I agree, even if you don't like it as much as I did for €20 I'm sure you will get your moneys worth.

degrassinoel · 29-11-2019 11:38am

it's worth the 20 quid tbh

Temptamperu · 29-11-2019 1:29pm

I like it so far. The load times are a bit much but its a fun experience so far and i feel like im just dipping my toes.

nix · 29-11-2019 1:35pm

Yeah id say the load times are hefty on console, but the levels you load into are quite large, so expect some performance bumps, but dont let them get to you

JimBurnley · 29-11-2019 1:42pm

Us this a big step up from the previous Metro games?

nix · 29-11-2019 1:55pm

Ive only dabbled in the first one, it was too dated for me to get through it, so i just watched some youtube vids to catch up on the story.

The first level felt like the first game but once you progress, the world opens up and it felt a lot like Fallout when i was exploring, not as big in scale but yeah the game is mostly set in an open world of sorts..

But again, nowhere near as overwhelming or time consuming as Fallout.

Temptamperu · 29-11-2019 10:38pm

I have to say i'm loving this game right now. Being playing all day collecting upgrades around the first open area. Its a lot to handle though all slogging back and forth is a pain but I cant wait to get back into it.

Sephiroth_dude · 05-01-2020 1:08pm

Got this for 20 quid a while back, must say it's not bad, on Ch 6 , is the doc any good?

Sephiroth_dude · 11-01-2020 5:44pm

Finished this last night, not a bad game overall, got the bad ending.

I'd bet my bottom dollar that anybody going into the game blind, will get the bad ending, its too easy to feck the good ending up.

Yup for example, I never killed any of the slavers in ch6 and you're man Damir never stay with me.

I got what is considered the good ending. Yup, blind, I didn't read any of the guides until the end and realised I did mess up a couple of events from the perspective of aiming for sainthood but then that's not how I wanted to play the game so I don't really care. There's too much emphasis on what is and isn't considered "The Good Ending" in so many similar games. There's simply the ending you get relative to how you played (if the Devs did a decent job). Consensus on whether it was good/best/whatever is irrelevant imho.

Got this on the PS4 pro on PSN sale so going to give it a bash later. Any tips for a metro newbie? Heard it looks great on the pro

Metro is no run and gun, resources are limited, take your time and nail head shots. Fairly tough but excellent game.

_CreeD_ · 07-05-2021 5:59pm

The Enhanced Edition is out now, free if you already own the original - it will show up in your library as a separate game with a completely unique install so you can remove the old one safely. A ray-tracing capable GPU is a hard requirement. I'm only at the first open section again but it is definitely prettier, I think that is more to do with DLSS2 now instead of 1 on the original version, though the lighting is also better with 100% RT generation and breathtaking at times. What I'm most impressed with is how much better it runs. The original @4k/basic RT/DLSS1 on my older 2080 was playable...just...with some nasty FPS drops probably averaging in around 45fps. It's now on a 3090 but even with the additional full RT and newer textures etc. , basically everything on Ultra, it's running nicely at around 80FPS with no stuttering or other annoying issues. Also native Windows Spatial Audio support is beautifully handled with the Dolby Atmos headphone plugin.
I did one playthrough on the original and was ready to start the DLCs when news of this came out a while back so have held off until now. Looking forward to diving back in properly this weekend.

dreamers75 · 07-05-2021 8:15pm

I enjoyed it and the American DLC

Was playing it on and off until early this year when I got a 3080

Damn its a good looking game.

Really want to get this but it's a bit dear for a game that's 2 years old. Still waiting for a more significant price drop.
Looks like a more tolerable Far Cry 2.

€11.99 on Steam right now if you're on pc, great game. Could do with a discount on PS though.
