Metro Exodus Review Thread

My review at The Outerhaven - 4.5/5.
https://www.theouterhaven.net/2019/02/review-metro-exodus-theres-only-metro-nothing-else/
Mainly not being able to find and tweak the ini files. Which is a huge issue for me, as I game on a widescreen monitor. In the previous games I could access the ini and change the configs. Can't do it here. I've contacted Epic multiple times regarding the location and they wouldn't tell me.

I do address it in my review. Mainly my stance on the matter and also issues/problems presented by the EGS.

Previously they said that it's going to be longer than both previous games combined.. I personally expected it to being around 25-30 hours long
I agree, played it on XB1 and felt it ran OK, yet it did not stun me the way I hoped. I was quite disappointed by the animations too.
Well, I guess it's going from a "maybe buy now on PS4 as it won't be on Steam" to " I can wait a while until a discounted version shows up on Steam eventually".
Good thing too, got plenty of things to play, finishing Subnautica as my wife got me Dark Souls 3 for Valentine's Day, and Sekiro is coming up soon (please be good)...
And then it's going to be Days Gone time before I know it.

Imagine being paid to write reviews in 2019 and you start your writing with "x is a tour de force of y"
And I just had to buy it on launch. Starting to sound like a game where I should have waited for a few patches first. I hate hard crashes, can live with some framedrops (I'm playing Fallout 4's DLCs now, and enjoying it a lot, nuff said.) but despise insane loading times.
As always, top notch stuff. Best reviews on YouTube.

Thats weird, it should still create config files somewhere in your documents or appdata
Consider that the main issue is the initial loading time of the game, which could reach a pair of minutes. Then, every time you die and reload it gets 10/15 seconds on XB1.
Not short, yet bearable.
That's the last paragraph, a summary. He starts it off by saying he gets spooked easy by games and Metro is spooky.
So I seem to disagree with many on the story. I LIKED the longer cutscenes and characters also had no problem with the voice acting overall. While the script might have been a bit out there at times. To me without them I would have enjoyed the game less because it DID make the choice to put you in a group and without me knowing more about the group and the shit they do the less I would have cared.
But thats just my opinion of course

Fair enough. Still, that phrase should be banned from a reviewers repertoire. Just like calling something a 'mixed bag'.
How's performance on Pro/X any info regarding resolution as well?
Also any update on the season pass not sure which edition to pick

It's a toss up I think. Like, if IGN brought it up then probably not. But, a PC focused site reviewing the PC version, I wouldn't have an issue with it being mentioned. I'm just speaking for myself as a PC player.
Wtf. But the footage so far has been looking fine and apparently it's amazing on PC. Hopefully not a case of a dev pushing for native 4K but keeping quality of textures and such low.
Runs bad on premium consoles while not looking too hot, I can only imagine how it is on base consoles.
On top of that, story and characters are bad? What's left in the game then, good shooting?

Right?
I didn't see it in appdata (Local or Roaming), nor was it in my users folder.
Yeah, this is true. The bigger problem is that the game locks up frequently, requiring you to restart and reload. If that were fixed, the load times absolutely wouldn't be so bad.
BTW just wanna say I love this game from everything I have played in my 15-20 hours of real play. Like stalker, Crysis, a bit of perfect dark and the better parts of far cry 2 in one.
With RTX on PC it looks generationally better than without it and the console versions. Yep.

So good game but console performance is not too great with some real long load times seems to be the consensus yes? I only have a base PS4 so guess i'll wait to see if it gets patched.
Are you really surprised by this? Every Metro game had the best version on PC.. the best reviewed version of Metro games is always the PC version.. even now in the case of Exodus
Any comments on performance Pro/X version not sure which one to pick
It shouldn't, but it needed to be mentioned at least.
What I said.
I'm not a reviewer but I have been playing on x and yes the load times can be long especially when loading in from the main menu after hitting continue, feels like over a minute. I haven't seen any of these other performance issues people are talking about though. Game has been flawless for me besides loading times
Since you played it on the Xbox, how frequent is the freezing? Also, when it freezes, can you go back to the dashboard, or is it a freeze where you have to restart the console?
Yes, but in ANY case it should not be mentioned in a review, either in a good or bad way. It has NOTHING to do with the quality of the game itself.
How long until the video about RTX in this game? :O Performance impact actually seems okay, and it's probably the use of RTX that makes the most sense to me.
Also need to know if are you gonna find an excuse to say Wolfenstein in the video? xD
Looks like my prediction for an 82 was spot on. I could tell from previews this was going to be a game that some people really had some issues with.
That's not a big deal at all then. Those loading times for GTAV were horrible too but once in the game world and you die, you're back swiftly. So it's not like base Xbox One Witcher 3 loading times, thank God!
Consider that on XB1X I got a pair of "freeze" before installing monday's patch.
Have you tried after the patch?
Are they a big departure from 2033 and Last Light? Because I felt they were fine in those. I also look at these games contextually, given the location and heritage of its creators, I'm not expecting Naughty Dog or Rockstar character depth & cinematography lol.
Except it does, because a poster already said EGS didn't allow him to edit the INI files that he needs to for his widescreen monitor.
That has no bearing on the game and has no place in a review for the game.
