I can't get the Steam overlay to work for some reason. Meaning to FPS counter, no screenshots, no achievements.

Metro Exodus | OT| Life imitates Artyom

You know, I really liked the first game but not the second game. I often don't understand why they're grouped together. The second game has so much freaking talking with that dumbass Pavel screaming "BLLIYIYAH" at you every twenty seconds. It felt so much more directed and linear to me. The first game had such a great atmosphere to it with the supernatural elements and the jank kind of contributing to this otherworldly presence. So I dunno if I get the comparison.
Not noticed an issue tbh. Finish a level, you get a character do a voiceover to update you on story, hold square, then you're in.
Plenty of polished western examples that are just fine on release: Spider-Man, God of War, Detroit, Horizon Zero Dawn. I think it's more the Eastern European devs that mess up sometimes: The Witcher 3, Original Metro games, Dying Light (awesome game, but has never been a polished product on consoles), Kingdom Come. All had issues at the beginning (or still have issues). All from Poland/Ukraine.
I died once when I tried to fight the watchmen that chase you through a door near the start, then again when I didn't go down the ladder in the stealth bit where you steal the train. Seemed fine?
Ah I see. Luckily during gameplay it seems fine at default though. Well maybe except for the part where you first control Artyom. That seemed a bit too dark. But the areas after it seem fine.
Some parts in the intro scene and a logo screen at the start had elevated black levels and I was afraid it would be like this during gameplay too, luckily it isn't.
All the examples you listed are western games funded and published by Japanese, aka Sony games.
Name some western-ass western game that's polished and not buggy on release day this gen. Even Red Dead Redemption 2 had some major bugs.
Kingdom Come is a Czech game
And Witcher 3 was at a better state at release than any modern Bethesda or Obsidian game
The girl certainly gets worked up at the appropriate times. However there is a distinct lack of motion capture so I can see the argument for lack of performance.
I guess it's the limitations of a studio with limited resources but striving for AAA standards.
I'm really enjoying it so far. Very much like wolf 2 but without the cutscenes.
Yeah it really is an incredibly looking game.
The lighting is some of the best out there.
bloodborne was a fucking mess technically on ps4 (and souls saga in general suffer in many technical areas) and xenoblade 2 was ultra shitty in handled mode, nier automata was graphically subpar and with an orrible framerate even on pc, ff15 at launch was literally an incomplete game with some framepacing\framerate problem and i can continue...
and then you have sony or microsoft esclusives that are more polished and graphically advanced compared to any japanese game on the market except maybe recent capcom games. (re2 hdr was a joke tbh)
so yeah, i'm not with you on this particular argument.
Performance isn't just mocap or getting worked up - it's tone, pace of delivery, imbuing the voice with unique character (tics, habits, timbre, etc), showing a range and emotion.
I'm very much looking forward to playing the game to find out for myself.
Exclusives that are backed by Sony, developed inhouse for a single platform do have inherent advange. They can simply take as much time as they need to reach perfect polish, and they do not need to worry about any platform variance. And Sony is smart enough to allow for that necessary devtime.
Yeah okay. My point is not all western games are bad, just like not al Asian games are good. See GymWolf86 s comment above.
Yeah I was wrong, at default Gamma it definitely has black level crush, making the sneaking parts where it's dark as hell just look bad. Is this a HDR thing? Guess I'll crank up the ingame Gamma some.
I wanted to change it to the original language like we could in the other two games. We can't here? I don't see the option at all.

Im not doubting the authenticity of it, it just sounds bad imo
Are you playing with HDR enabled? Did you up the ingame Gamma setting a little or left it at default?
Yes to HDR. I had to whack up the gamma a bit. The gamma slider seems broken to me - I could never see the left most image. I put the slider up about two thirds of the way I think. Feels about right?
Yeah I have the same. It never really annoyed me in 2033 or LL but here there are some voices where I think... this is just bad.
As for loading times, I don't see the problem at all. I died twice (second time on purpose) and there barely was any loading really.
Yeah they sound fine to me. Wouldn't complain about the voice acting at all, sounds suitably authentic to my English ear.
Is there no Russian voice acting option in this one?
Yeah, when I put the slider all to the right I can see the image on the right but left just isn't visible at all. Wonder if they'll fix this. I like inky black levels but black level crush is never good.
Strangely enough the option isn't there. Previous two games did have it.
Yes, but you need to set your console on Russian language and then it apparently downloads the Russian VO.
You don't need to do that on PS4 at least. You can change VO language from the settings on the main menu. You can't change it once you're in-game however.
Oh, maybe this was my problem... I'll try it from the main menu on Xbox!
Ah okay. Read this here yesterday. I will be playing in English, fine with me.
I thought it would be available there as well but I didn't see it. Would be strange as hell if it's only available that way on PS4.
I'm not sure I'm feeling this to be honest. I'm only on the Volga level but it just feels quite disjointed. Controls are definitely intended to be deliberate but I feel it's a bit over-animated and control is taken away a bit too much.
FYI this is my first game in the series proper (played Last Light for a tiny amount years ago) so I'm sort of a bit lost which definitely contributes.

Wow, this PC port is fucking awful.
Launched at the wrong resolution with a cutscene I had to skip like a minute in just to change the options. Controller immediately starts rumbling even though I'm using mouse and keyboard. No FOV option. No way to turn off motion blur. No windowed mode. Defaults to DX12 even though every single game I've ever played in DX12 has had something fucky going on with it. Default sensitivity is ass.
What happened?

Can't check right now because I'm not next to my console, but IIRC the setting wasn't in a particularly obvious place. Think it might have been in gameplay settings, and you had to scroll down to see it. It would be easy to miss.
I think it's a mix of controller deadzone + game having animation emphasis over gameplay
So it has been awhile since playing 2033/LL, I remember story. Thing is I played Ranger Hardcore, w/e one was the one with practically no UI. It was great.
Started the game like this on Exodus but I feel like I am missing stuff. I remember the ligher and web thing, what else to remember?
I also found the cfg file and it says fov is set to 60...

Going from a really fast paced BR game where speed matters, to a slow first person survival exploration game. What did you expect?
Voice options are absolutely there on Xbox, too. You just have to go back to the main menu and press "X" to download the voice languages you want.
The english VA isn't bad because of the accents, it's because they are badly acted, accents or not. Anna especially has incredibly flat delivery and keeps emphasizing weird parts of sentences. There's also little to no "flow" to the dialogues. There was one scene when I saved a Nurse and she joined our caravan, where she, a child and a few from our group talked. One of them made a joke that made little to no sense to me in english and seemed to be lost in translation. After that, there was like a 2 second pause where everyone just stared at each other and then everyone, at the same time, literally said:
"Ha! Ha!"
It was one of the more stilted conversations I have seen in a video game in quite some time. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore the game, but the storytelling and voice acting leaves a lot to be desired for me.
It's there. I wish people wouldn't spread misinformation like this without being sure. I played the Xbox One version with Russian VA myself.
WHAT
WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS
That's awful to hear because the English voice work has always been weak enough to harm the presentation in the previous game.
This might have killed my purchase, at least at full price
Going from Resident Evil 2 controls to this, fucking turd.
I love Metro 2033 and Last Light but damn was this a rough experience.
I don't think it's input lag that's an issue on console, it's the aiming deadzone is WAY too high with no settings to adjust it.
Weirdly I don't recall feeling this issue when I played an earlier event build running on an X. I hope they fix it quickly.

Yes they indeed are in on Xbox too! I just had to go into the game settings and I didn't do that. I really expected it to be at sound. My bad!
No worries! It's all in! Game options and then voice language. :)
When you choose Russian you press load and it will download a update.
Oh man that scared me man lmao
Thanks for clearing that up!
I figured those who weren't clicking with the mechanics were unfamiliar with the series, but it's disappointing to hear this from a fan
Hope this is something they can fix up
Is there a PC performance thread, hearin its pretty terrible?
edit: nvm just searched jasec rather than metro xD

Okay so when I get hit the hit/hurt animation is suppose to cover your entire screen and look liek blood..
Its a smaller then my screen box that starts see through solid then shows blood. I only changed FOV and blur in the CFG file...could those be causing it?

Absolutely!
It seems you can download German voices too, but no way. I'm sticking with the original. Sure, it means I'll have to look at the subtitles a lot more but ah well.
I just had to restart the game and yes, those loading times into your current save game do take quite a while. However once you're in and you die, the loading so far has been super short.
