Metro Exodus - out of the metro tunnels and back on Steam

https://howlongtobeat.com/game.php?id=46401

 

For me 36 h. Hardcore with most content explored.

 

I just refunded this piece of shit.

The combat mechanics are absolutely garbage. Yeah, I understand why normies would enjoy them but they are absolute garbage for someone learned with Cs:Go mechanics. At least that game gets something right.

Clunky movement and controls, press E to climb ladders, unreliable stealth, cannot drag bodies, no FOV slider, retarded AI with wallhack, long cutscenes, stiff animations and dialogues written by imbeciles. The prologue is abysmal and there is not way the latter experience will be better considering the things I've mentioned.

But the thing which drove me up the wall was: press E fast to turn on/off light sources, keep E pressed to loot cupboards, keep E pressed slightly less that before to loot bodies and tap E when you to free yourself from a monster. They didn't even bother to calibrated the PC controls. Also keep E pressed on each quick-load because let's waste more time.

On top of that I got frame stuttering at 1440p on a brand new RTX 2070 Super with all drivers updated and m.2 nvme SSD (!?) Every other game works well except Exodus :/ Yeah, I no longer care about graphic tweaks at this moment.

I was a big fan of Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light but Exodus is insulting imho. I don't know. Maybe I got older but the previous games were not so retarded.

 

Yeah I think you'll be better off playing CS where you don't have to press E to climb ladders at all.

 

Honestly you are somewhat retarded if you think you made a smart remark.

There is no doubt that CS:Go movement is unrealistically fast but event like that it feels much more realistic and comfortable than whatever Metro Exodus has implemented.

Either that or Artyom is an old man with Arthritis...

 

Oh man. Never change, toro.

 

Or YOU are retarded for bitching about stupid shit in a game like this. Metro isn't primarily a dumb MP shooter, it's a single-player, story-driven experience with emphasise on vibe and setting. Sure it'd be even better with gunplay and stealth that are on par with specialized shooters and stealth games (btw the gunplay is fine for a game like this, it's the subpar stealth that's a much bigger problem, especially on Hardcore). But that doesn't ruin it.

It's like complaining about clunky UI and dated graphics in games like Grimoire or Atom, i.e. missing the whole point.

 

The prologue does suck, but he obviously refunded it before the game really even started.

Fwiw, the game ran completely smooth for me on Ultra settings with a i7 4790K and GTX 1080.

 

Bro, 75% of the map points of interest on the winter and desert regions are full of bandits/zombies/mutants to kill, it is hard to dismiss the criticism to combat when you spend 2/3 of your game time on it and the alternative is even worse, the stealth system is even more broken (At some point I was making body piles at stairs as the Ai is so dumb) and all of that for a meh to shiet story.

 

It doesn't ruin it ... for you.

Grimoire or Atom are not AAA title therefore nobody expects great UI or graphics. Metro Exodus is a AAA title and they did not even calibrate or optimize the controls for PC. The comparison is retarded.

I understand that you love the game but give me a break. It's mediocre at best.

 

Painfully obvious this game was developed for consoles with PC as an afterthought. Stop rewarding this strategy with your hard-earned money. Just stop.

 

You know what they say, once you go Epic, we don't want you back.

 

They are retarded but the few good ideas they had were good enough to keep you distracted from that, this one keeps the retardation but absolutely no new ideas here.

 

The only thing retarded here are the edgelords who are commenting after barely playing it or not playing it at all.

 

Sorry I cannot hear you. I'm playing Lords of the Fallen and I'm having a blast

And why exactly is to be edgy to point out that the game only have two new enemies, the zombie dudes and the leeches (that arent even nice to fight), that the open world after the Volga region is pretty formulaic, 50% or more of the places with barely anything on them beyond bandits and zombie dudes to kill (and killing both is unsatisfying as fuck), that the open world degenerates after each region, the first region being the best and the following ones getting increasingly linear or with filler, that they removed the bullet economy for generic crafting with only two generic resources.

The plot is: "We need to get to somewhere cool.", "We got to somewhere cool.Thanks dude,bye."What? Do you wanna know what happens afterwards or what happened to the people you helped? Nah, we dont have the budget for that."

 

No, there were more new enemies than that, and the overall creature variety was pretty good. - https://metrovideogame.fandom.com/wiki/Mutants

As far as the regions go, that's completely subjective, but I didn't think they degenerated as you claim. In fact, I thought the final level was one of the best. Also, the game was anything but formulaic. How many other open-world shooters have regions that are as different from each other as the ones in Exodus?

 

Because some people just love their console AAA popamole.
