Yup. This is why we were trying to get it increased to 15 back in fucking 2011.
Today we need it to be nearly double that.
- Comment on Dragon’s Dogma 2 DLC devs faced “diametrically opposed” feedback from players in the West and Japan 5 days ago:
The friction in DD2 is exactly why I loved the game. It didn’t hold the hand. You had to pay attention to the world and actually immerse yourself in it.
It made it feel as if you weren’t just playing a game but were roleplaying a character.

This is some dogshit bootlicking mentality.
Sort your priorities, mate, and quit carrying water for your oppressors.
- Comment on 5 days ago:
Not worth buying with how they have treated the dev team with these lay offs but it’s a perfectly reasonable game to pirate if one wants to play it.

Also, it isn’t that big of a deal in a turn based tactics game to have all the animations be silky smooth or responsive like it is in games with real-time combat. The quality doesn’t directly affect the game play experience for the most part.
A turn based game at 30 frames plays the same as it does at 60 or 120. Can’t say the same for other genres.

This is why I pirate most games unless it’s from indie devs. Fuck any and every corpo entity.

Agreed on all points.
As I said in my other comment, Exodus isn’t a bad game. It’s actually very enjoyable. It just didn’t feel like a METRO game.
The 2nd game did suffer from sequelitus. It was fun but the writing was not nearly as up to par with the first, and that lack of hook in the writing made the last half of the game drag cause you weren’t nearly as invested in what was going on half the time.

Had to explain this to a friend when I called the original Deus Ex titles were “open world” games. (It’s technically semi-open world but, meh, nuances)

Just gonna copy my comment from the last time this was discussed on this sub ——— Exodus wasn’t necessarily a bad game. It just didn’t feel like a Metro game.
The first two games in the Metro series exemplified a rich, linear story experience with intricate and interwoven characters, condensed level design, and strict resource management. They had a very specific and distinct atmosphere and experience. There was very little extra fluff outside of hidden secrets and logs. Everything was centered around telling the story it wanted to tell, even down to the gameplay mechanics themselves like using bullets for currency.
Exodus broke away from a lot of it to have a more open experience which unfortunately required a lot of fluff to fill the empty space of an open world design. The events in each region didn’t really have anything to make me care about it. Even if it does provide a much larger view of how society outside of the Metro had adapted, a lot of the content just didn’t feel any connection to Artyom and crew like it was in the older games.
The open world aspect also completely invalidated the resource management aspect of the Metro games. They were not able to pull it off in the way that Stalker’s very intricate economy systems do for making an open world with the feeling of limited resources. It was way too easy to farm stuff. I never worried about bullets after the first hours, in a series where bullets are supposed to be scarce enough for use as currency.As a long time fan of Metro, Exodus kinda felt like something “other” wearing the skin of the series rather than an actual Metro game. I feel they wanted to have a good, traditional Metro experience but it is everything else that feels added on to try and bring in a wider audience that resulted in a lot of older Metro fans, like me, feeling like the game was half-baked.

Jacksepticeye just uploaded a video as well doing the first ~2 hours of the game.
- Comment on METRO 2039 | Gameplay Trailer - Renegade 1 week ago:
Exodus is exactly how NOT to make a Metro game. It’s the furthest removed from the core gameplay of the Metro series to the point it is only a Metro game in name alone.

Yea, I was too. I grew up autistic in the rural US South. I know all about getting made fun of for being yourself.
The thing is though, holding onto that trauma and letting it dictate your life instead of learning to cope with it and move on is incredibly unhealthy.

That’s cool and all but I’m still gonna express my opinion from my side of the fence on the subject.

This is cringe levels of pedantic.

That’s an incredibly dumb reason to not go to a nice bakery. People take themselves way too seriously. Embrace the cringe. Be whimsical and silly. Life’s too short to go through it with a stick up the ass.

I literally never unlocked a weapon tech because all of the schematics you get will quickly outclass any default weapon. The tech tree does seem paced incredibly weird.
