At least we got that one line from Miller
"I don't need your silent judgment right now" or something like that lol
Feels so good now. Like playing a different game. Really responsive. This is with sensitivity at the highest and the other three half way.

I was only in Volga so just going to start again on Ranger Hardcore. That wading through molasses feeling has gone (PS4 Pro). Gunfights should be fun now.
Glad to see this is being sorted, I'm going to pick it up.
Can anyone clarify what Euro jank is, like why specifically Euro??? Is there something relating to European games that isn't in us/Asian made games that I don't understand??
I'm being half serious...
There are some universal improvements to the controls, and we also added a 3rd Sensitivity preset - if you're mid-game you will need to manually select this from Options > Controller > Sensitivity. We also addressed some bugs / issues, but are limited by what we can do with a 'Hotfix' - some more substantial improvements are coming in the Patch.
Also worth mentioning - we were able to fix the Gamertag overlay issue when using Photomode with the Hotfix
Apologies to those who fired specific 'has x been fixed?' q's at me since my last post, I'm not able to respond to individual cases as I don't have all the info to hand and I don't want to promise something until the Patch has cleared QA, but if you have reported an issue via the Tech Support ticket system it has been seen and logged by 4A (even if you got a generic reply). The upcoming Patch will come with detailed notes showing what was fixed.

The responsiveness is definitely way better, but the max sensitivity is still way too low.
Edit: 15 minutes in and it fucking crashes. JFC

After have fully finishing the game and thinking about it for a few days, I'm pretty disappointed with it overall. I've a lot of issues and not too sure what way to convey them, so I'll do it via bulletpoints.
- For s story heavy game, there really isn't that much of an overarching narrative apart from you are looking for a new home. And that is paper thin at best.
- A lot of the time it feels like you're doing fetch quests and nothing more.
- They got away with it in the first two games, but the silent protagonist again is absolutely awful from start to finish. It constantly ruins moments in the game that has something going for them. It never feels like you're having a proper conversation with someone, or that you're interacting with the world. You're constantly reminded that you are some silent nobody that will do anything upon request.
- The relationship between Artyom and Anna feels nonexistent. They try numerous times to have emotional scenes but they fall to pieces with our character barely reacts to anything.
- I'm not a fan of the larger levels and having to traverse the land. It becomes even more annoying in the second area in the desert, despite having a car too.
- Enemy AI is really wonky. Sometimes they can literally see through multiple walls and kill you. While other times you can walk right by them without an issue. Really can take you out of the game.
- The best part of the game is the final mission/area, and it really lives up to it for sure. I wanted more of that.
Couldn't disagree more.
Aside from the point about the silent protagonist
Finished it last night and this being my first Metro game I have some thoughts...
This game excels at building an atmosphere. In that era the game is sublime. However, the hand holding felt very claustrophobic. The way NPC's would box you in and force you to play out unskippable cut scenes really holds this game back. I'd recommend it to anyone. It's a sold single player experience. But personally, by the time I was half way through I came to despise having cut scenes with the Kernel.

Don't care what they said, it doesn't take people 2 seconds to turn 180 degrees in real life.
Your game must be broken. I just tried it on preset 2 and it's not even a full second. Stop it.
Great video Dictator
I played through on my system with Ultra, all other settings on highest + RTX High @ 3072x1728 switching to 2957x1633 in intense scenes when it dropped below 60 and was able to get a locked 60fps almost the whole time. I played before DLSS was improved, I think DLSS looks better than these resolutions now. But HDR is broke with DLSS on so I am waiting for them to fix that before I do my second playthrough with DLSS on.
specs: 2080ti +150 core, +800 Memory
16GB DDR4 3200cl14
2700x 4.2 all cores
Idk, I turned the sensitivity all the way up and it's still slower than 99% of the games I've played. Drives me crazy.
Whelp. Can't load up my save anymore (end of Taiga). My One X shuts down as soon as the X appears on screen, only to boot up and warn me about overheating.
Skill Up has released his review / deep dive for the game, the video is thirty minutes long. Heading in now:
Mine did this for a while.. it just stopped.. no real reason..
Just downloaded a small patch on Xbox One
Just tried in 1080p, that worked. My Xbox has been having heat issues (Scorpio, apparently this can happen due to faulty cooling paste) so I've applied for Advanced Exchange.
So how does the hot fix work on the XBOX 1 X? I'm deciding when to really dig in as I put it on hold...
Thanks to you guys for addressing this and for putting out such a great game! Excited to jump back in.
Wow the game tanks my framerate quite a lot in the beginning of the desert. Had to set the resolution scaler from 1.3 to 1.0 at 1080p but it still persists.
Hope it's getting better later on.
Also this area seems a bit out of place. Visually it looks great but I don't feel the Metro vibe and the enemies are kind of meh.

My second time through the campaign is awesome something just click the second time around my game of the year so far
This game just doesn't feel as creepy or have as much atmosphere as the other two games. I feel pretty safe all the time and it's missing that sense of existential horror the other games, especially 2033, nailed. Something like being on the surface fet extremet alien and hostile and in exodus it feels pretty pedestrian. I think the "twist" at the beginning of the game kind of takes a lot of wind out of the narrative's sails too.
Also, the mutants are fucking lame as hell. Does this game just completely forgo the supernatural aspects of the last 2?

Not yet, this is a hotfix. A bigger patch probably will come in a few weeks.
In the meantime I decided to finish up my Last Light replay
Got to a section where Khan is talking for like fifteen minutes, took a wrong turn and fell to my death, and there was no checkpoint through his entire monologue so I now have to restart the whole level. I decided to forget about replaying LL and go right into Exodus lol
Those original two games really are equally busted and brilliant

Playing all the games is important if you want to understand the universe, story, and characters. They're also all excellent games.
I'd recommend playing the other two before Exodus, just so you understand the world, story and characters better.
2033 and Last Light are both good, and they're not terribly long games either.
The Redux of the first two are cheap and you should play those while Exodus gets more patches.
You can get Redux for as low as $10 these days. I would play that while Exodus gets patched up in the meantime. With two games, it can easily last you a good while.
