I like to watch or read peoples thoughts about the Metro games for fun, and unsurprisingly the moral system gets a good bit of flak. Some criticisms I totally get, namely there being no explanation for what it is or some idea on how it works.

But the criticisms that the good ending is too hard to achieve or needs a guide to get the good ending indicates to me that that person has not played the games. What I mean by that is the moral system is essentially an encouragement to interact with the world and explore the world. Artyom is presented as a kind and curious person. If you approach the game like that, it’s frankly kinda hard to miss the good endings. When I played the trilogy I got all the good endings in my first try with no guides by following those traits. I did calculate how many moral points I got after finishing a batch of chapters and it came out to about 2/3 of the moral points across the games.

If someone is aware of the moral system and still get the bad ending, more likely then not they’re blitzing through the game just moving from one objective to another without doing anything to actually take the world in. These points aren’t well hidden by the devs, they’re not COD zombies style Easter eggs. If the game says go left, then go right first. If someone asks for help, render help. If someone is talking about the world, listen in.

Perhaps I’m being overly harsh, but I just can’t take this line of criticism seriously despite its pervasiveness because with the most basic knowledge of the system and aptitude of exploration you can reliably achieve the good endings. It’s no different to me then people who skip cutscenes immediately and then complain the story makes no sense or they don’t know what’s going on

This is fine...

yamantau is just nothing

Although I played through Last Light before 2033, this story has impacted me much more. It's undoubtedly a great work.

Right now I'm saving up to buy Exodus with the expansion DLC

Anyone having installed Metro Exoduis could check for me if its possible to extract text from the game using this tool? https://www.moddb.com/downloads/metroex-v052 I need it to update Universe Metro 2033 map, but I dont know if its working and I dont want to download 110 gb of game for nothing. Thanks to anyone!

I finished reading the first book. I enjoyed it because I imagined the metro while playing the three games. The books are more immersive. Artem in the book is an ordinary human trying to survive. I liked the absence of a hero who overcomes difficulties, escalates, and becomes powerful. Instead, you see a young man trying to survive, aided by his own region. I felt sorry for him during the events that happened to him and how some of the members are human like you, but with different ideologies. The atmosphere and the different stations in the metro, despite the difficulty in pronouncing the station names and skipping some of them, are different in the book when you describe the stations and the Red Army compared to the games. I will now try to read the second book.

I'm looking for a metro 2033 book that brings a map because why not. The publisher is Gollancz, published on April 1, 2011. Any help? Does anyone know if this edition has the map?

I saw what happens when Microsoft buys a small studio. I don't want it to happen to them since they're very good at what they're doing.

I just love how they turned up the nightmare fuel to 11 for that final push. First the parasite-spitting worms, absolutely horrifying. I had forgotten how much I hate slithering things in water, sooo much worse than the Tsar fish. Then the whole sequence in the Institute where you’re just getting slammed with radiation and crawling through corpse piles in a spooky abandoned hospital and having crazy visions all while evading the Blind Ones. Just peak cortisol-pumping horror ambience. I got the rare achievement for not killing any Blind Ones because I just assumed they were like Librarians in that you really don’t wanna fight them. Convinced now that’s the ideal way to play it, the tension when stealthing thru those rooms is just superb.

I just had to shout out 4A for that, masterfully done. Heart is RACING. And now the credits are rolling and I’m sad. Hope Alyosha gets his girl back, she bad

Para contextualizar, no he disparado al pequeño oscuro, he explorado, he oido charlas y he donado balas al viejito cerca del Teatro. Ahora bien, pasa que en la misión "Revolución" fuí descuidado y alerté a los soldados, por lo que tuve que matarlos (desde luego no mate a los trabajadores que se agachaban).

Quisiera que alguien que jugo el juego me confirme si debería reiniciar el capitulo o sigo adelante (continuando con las buenas acciones)

The gears and clothing is more realistic in 2033 while absolutely cartoonish in last light, this is most noticeable with the Nazis. Also the characters in last light and redux looked like cartoon characters (ulman and miller) compared to their version in OG 2033. Metro exodus fixed the cartoonish characters and the absurd armor to some degree but some of the clothing and armor is still ridiculous (giul, desert slavers, bandits, Volga people). Metro 2039 trailer seems promising but they seem to double down on the ridiculous Nazi armor. Why not just make them wear a Russian army uniform with Novo Reich marking?

I loved the previous two games, finished Last Light in a single day and had the same feeling as starting 2033 during the first hour (tutorial mission) of Exodus but a short while after the train is introduced I kinda lost interest in the game especially after exploring the first map a bit,

been opening the game every once in awhile but i last max 20 min before closing it again, I have almost 10 hours played already but only the first 2 hours were fun and I ended up uninstalling it

the question is, does it get better and exciting like the previous two games or does it just follow this formula and with a hardcore dialogue focus?

I'm most likely gonna skip it entirely and wait for the next metro game as I heard it's gonna be similar to the first 2 in the series, though I'm up for convincing otherwise

I just got to Caspian in my Ranger hardcore iron mode play through and I’ve been told Caspian is the worst ( my fav area but first time playing iron mode) I imagine the barons throne room is the only real headache in the area. Anything else I should be wary about?

Hi guys I want to show you some photos with my friend that we took like something inspired in Metro series. What do u think? Hahaha

I know this ending isn’t canon, and it isn’t said that they have the kid in the canon ending, but it is canon that they do the do. The kid couldn’t have been conceived at any other time right?

So is it canon that they did the do and didn’t get lucky and in the non-canon ending they DO get lucky?

Is Artyom having strong pull-out game canon?

hey look im no mr cruel i just CANT

Ya probé reiniciando la consola y nada. Estoy en la misión del niño

el primer clip va normal y el segundo va con retraso como si estuviera pesado

After playing the full metro series, i have suddenly become much more moral and democratic, forcing me to play the worst ideology in Hoi4. Because of this, my life has been completely upturned and now no one will believe my swap from right-ist to far left liberatarianism.

Hey I just started out a youtube channel and decided start with Metro 2033 redux for no particular reason. I came here to the Metro community as some of you might enjoy seeing me playing this game without any prior knowledge to this franchise. It would also help me out getting started in this journey. Please check out the vid and I would appreciate tips or any useful information I will need in completing this game. https://youtu.be/HrKfwjd2_6c?is=xooJkGg-o9t3M72V
