Metro Exodus Review Thread
- Thread starter CenturionNami
- Start date
Metro games were always PC focused, just makes the epic games store slap in the face even stranger.
Anyway, i'm not really down for more of the same...the first game was a flawed gem, they showed alot of potential, but it seems they dont agree their games are flawed and just keep making them with the same issues.
Sorry, still at work, I'll answer any questions when I get home.
I got the game yesterday on X so I had the patch and have not had the game freeze once.
If I don't have an RTX card, is it worth getting on One X vs PC? Really not interested in the Epic store.
Don't care about the reviews, this is a Metro game that's taking 2033 and Last Light to 11 and expanding it, can't wait to start playing on Friday.
RTX sounds great but I'll be playing without it, I just don't think the RTX performance/Money ratio is good right now on any of the cards, will wait for a second gen RTX card and it will be a good excuse to play the game again.

It's like that but they seem to drone on a lot longer at points. I dunno, I found it quite tiresome. Everything else is great, though.
Replaying 2033 a d Last Light Redux recently, the story and characters are whatever tbh, the combat and stealth are serviceable.
Reasons why Metro is one of my favorite fps are the immersion/realism, atmosphere and the worldbuilding. I hope Exodus still delivers in these front.
If you don't want to deal with EGS, you literally have no choice.
If you can stand dealing with it, a GTX 1080/1080 Ti also works well. Minus the raytracing and DLSS.

All the other Metro games also have 78-82 scorces, besides the remaster.
Don't they have Artyom narrating anymore during the loading screens?
I kinda liked that actually. That he doesn't have a voice during gameplay, i don't really care about. I like silent protagonists

The biggest issue so far seems to be the crashing. What the fuck man, sigh. If it's truly that bad and I get that shit, I'm gonna go back to Fallout 4 and wait until Metro is patched.
Is there not a day one patch?

Is the shooting and stealth elements satisfying as the previous games? I think story/characters will be on the ok level like previous ones right?
I'll have a review up for Slant in a few days but re: voice acting/story, I was a little disappointed that the game doesn't continue to subtitle the dialogue if you, say, stop to use a workbench or something. Makes playing in Russian kind of iffy if you wanna catch everything, so I had to switch over to English to be safe (though in retrospect I think enough of the dialogue is there to just fill silence while they wait for you to take a zipline or something that it's probably safe to miss?).
A teaser:
Tom is on that!
No excuses to say Wolf, lol, but I am happy with its performance for its visuals - that is a simple thing to say.
Yep.
Eh, that is hard to say - I always recommend PC usually unless you have a really bad one.
Shooting is still kinda unsatisfactory.
Stealth works much better, and it also helps that it's a viable option in a lot of situations. Stealth mechanics are still pretty basic, but they work well enough.
Tell me again it doesn't impact the game
I enjoyed the gunplay and stealth. I did notice some LOS issues, like firing from behind a tree or similar items.
Thanks!
To be clear - I don't have a strong opinion on if game reviews should or should not address situations like this one. Was just curious on if any reviews chose to do so.
So do we know if we're still stuck with 2 or 3 weapons? I'm hoping the train means you get to store all the guns you find permanently there so you can build a collection.
I would disagree on them, I really enjoyed shooting and utilising all the guns in the game, they have a mean sound and generally do quite a lot of damage (headshot is always a kill) - you just do not have that much ammo being a metro game.
If it impacts the game itself (as it seems to in this case), sure, point it out.
When I say it has no place in a review, I'm talking about the controversy rather than how a different launcher might actually impact the experience itself.
That's awesome to hear thanks for the feedback, can't wait to see Tom's comments regarding performance on the premium consoles.

For those of us who dont have the eye... Left is RTX and right is non RTX... right?
Those were the type of issues I always had with Metro games, must be engine related because 2033 had it worse than Last Light
The gunplay looks pretty terrible. The world looks amazing though.
Will probably buy it later this year.

It was an improvement over Last Light for sure, but I found it to be serviceable in the best of situations.
That said, toying around with the customization mechanics was something that made me appreciate the gunplay more.
Someone's already said they couldn't access the game's ini files. That prevented them from changing the resolution to their monitor's aspect ratio. I don't know if the launcher somehow locked those files down, but if it did, that's absolutely something that should be mentioned in a review. And if it's like other single-player games on Epic's store, you need to be connected to the internet every time you start the game. That's should also absolutely be mentioned.
