Wow, this game went from being hyped as hell to worried.
Guess I'll hold off on getting it for now.
I'm about 9 hours into the game and so far it has been great for me.
No crashes or anything and it looks stunning on the pro.
Is the PS4 max sensitivity too slow or am I just too good at shooters?
The max sensitivity on PS4 feels like it's 20% of other shooters, it's making everything slow and clunky for me.
Thanks for this. How do you experience the input lag (like, how does it control compared to 2033 and LL?) and sound issues people are complaining about?
The game aiming seems to be locker down to be "slow" either way you modify the sensivity

Well it controls like the older Metro games, so it feels really slow and heavy.
But it fits for this game because it's not a fast action shooter.
And yes there is something wrong with the footsteps that doesn't sound right.
But i'm having a great time so far and the atmosphere is so unbelievable.
If you liked the older Metro games or Stalker you will love Exodus. :)
Is it like 2033/LL? I had the sensitivity on high in those games, and turning around is pretty slow even then.
Seems fine to me so far. Only major complaint I have is the long loading times when loading a save game.Really interested in some base PS4 technical impressions. Now I'm kind of worried about picking this up today after reading some of the comments.
I started playing on wednesday evening and so far there has been no more patches.
So i guess there was only the Day1 patch when i installed the game.
Seeing all these performance issues and thinking is it even worth it to buy games day one these days?
Just seems like an exercise in frustration.
I have already downloaded the game but I now I am thinking I should just wait 1-2 patches before even launching it.
What I mean is that by the time the potential next gen remasters release they will have fixed many of the game's flaws and polished it. They have a track record of releasing big updates to polish their games as seen with the previous Metro games.This is kind of a dumb post. What do bad sound and input lag have to do with hardware limitations? And the AI is exactly the same on PC, so your point exactly?
And Spider-Man is an incredibly polished product. It was on release date and it is now. I don't see why that game needs a remaster. We don't even know how TLoU2 performance is, so you're just guessing here.
Stalker bros, hoes does Exodus hold up against the classic Stalker Trio? :)
Did you recently (within last month) upgrade to 1809 by any chance?
I read a bunch of in depth reviews. Very mixed, divisive. Some people felt it was an evolution of those games and far superior. Others felt it is a wonky lateral step that doesn't add anything.

Wait what? There is no way to turn down shadow or occlusion to gain performance?Is there no way to set advanced graphical options or am I blind? I mean being able to like set texture detail, shadows low/high, that sort of thing? Seems weird that you can't mess with those type of settings in the options, like if you just wanna turn down shadows to get a few more fps but don't want to turn down textures, why can't we do that?
It could be the actual tone/emotion/performance, not the accentI saw there were was a lot of criticism for the English voice acting in reviews, having started playing the game I think it might be Americans not used to eastern European accents because it just sounds like Eastern Europeans speak English.
European here so used to it. Any other Europeans think the same ?
Huh, I did not expect some of these reactions after coming back from playing it for 4-5 hours. If you liked the first two games, you'll probably like this one. It sounds like a simple thing to say but if walking around with a rifle that you have to crank for more damage during poor weather visibility and dealing with FPS style story telling where monsters and bad guys knock you to the ground or get right up in your face isn't your thing then yeah you're gonna have a bad time. My biggest criticisms at this point are that I don't like the little QTE that happens when you get too close to an enemy. You'll be ready to finish it off and whoops! QTE time, jam on the button!
I also think they should have gone full on Fallout New Vegas chat system with the character interactions. Instead of making Artyom a mute character who has to stand around and wait for characters to finish their endless monologues, just let me approach them and choose some text options and then let the character respond to me.
They were 60fps and highly polished. No comparison, really. I suspect Exodus will get there in a few months' time.
Just fired it up!
One question, what difficulty should I choose? I love a challenge but I did NOT love those encounters in the previous two games where they block off the area and they keep throwing hordes of these assholes at you.
How many of these encounters are there? Because I might want to go for hardcore.
That's so fucked up...what the fuck is wrong with AAA western games these days?
The sound mixing and quality seems pretty bad overall so far. Ambient sounds are ridiculously low and the sound effect for footsteps sounds awful.
Man the monsters AI is very clunky, I'm picking normal because there's things in this game that just make no sense at all regarding what I previously said with the monsters.
Humans AI is great and ok, but the above... Just makes me want to stick to normal.
It's getting... To a point where I don't wanna buy games on Day 1.. look at RE2 it just runs beautifully and with great performance
Re2 also has braindead AIMan the monsters AI is very clunky, I'm picking normal because there's things in this game that just make no sense at all regarding what I previously said with the monsters.

You've said all I needed to hear. I'm sticking with normal too then. There's no reason to ruin the experience for myself, possibly, only to have a bigger challenge but with the chance of me putting it down because of rather annoying parts.
Loved 2033 and LL but man some parts were infuriating.
Not true for all western games.That's so fucked up...what the fuck is wrong with western AAA games these days?
I can tolerate it with multiplayer games like Battlefield V but this is a singleplayer only game..
Anyone else not see any icon in the Gamma option at default settings? It tells you that you should barely see the left image. Well I don't even see the right image unless I crank it to max. This is on X with HDR enabled.
Also the audio...
Guns sound nice so far but the max volume is very low, even worse when I enable the Atmos option in the game itself. Guess I'll turn that off for my headphones. Atmos enabled on the X itself should be enough.
Not true for all western games.
Same for japanese game, they are now always perfect at launch...
