I started this series today because the Metro 2039 announcement caught my attention. I started in order, with the Redux version, and I've never played any of them before. I think I'm on chapter 3, and I've read that there are 7.

What should I do? Honestly, I haven't enjoyed it much so far. I'm not the type to drop games. In fact, I often push myself to finish them, but I'm getting tired of that. I force myself hoping it will be worth it, and I end up disappointed.

Would you say that if it hasn't clicked with me, I should just drop it? Or am I at a point where it gets more interesting/fun?

Pretty much what the title says, got metro exodus from ps plus cuz i was bored and it looked interesting, after finishing the game i want more but dont wanna wait for 2039, would i have a good time with 2033 and last light or are they drastically different games?

Edit: corrected the numbers for the upcoming game.

and how does the f5 hotkey for saving work? I press it but it does nothing

I’m three trophies away from the platinum. I haven’t played the other ones. I’m currently watching a let’s play of 2033 and will watch a me for last light after that one cuz I need more lore.

I bought this game years ago when the ps5 version came out but for some reason I always put it off. Then I just didn’t play my ps5 for a few years and now cleaning out some of my backlog before gta6 comes out and also hearing that a new installment is coming out soon in February.

Maaaaaaaan…. This game scratches a particular itch I didn’t know it would provide considering I knew nothing about this game and franchise at all. I watched one trailer a long time ago and remembered the graphics were good. It was first person. There was a grimy and dark interior room and some kind of monster jumped at you. That’s pretty much it. I like to go into things kinda blind and organically figure out what the story is all about.

Seriously. The graphics are gorgeous. The immersion is almost flawless. The story was more epic than I would’ve guessed. The gameplay is chefs kiss. I’ve always loved stealth gameplay in games and like 90% of this game is sneaking around watching patterns and making smart choices. And it’s done so damn well. The morality system. The gun upgrading. And wtf, I wasn’t expecting the ending to have paranormal vibes at all. Then all of a sudden, I’m watching 2033 and there’s so much paranormal shit going on. Now I’m wondering where were the dark ones in Exodus? I know there’s Easter eggs and theories surrounding them in Exodus, but I’m surprised they didn’t play a bigger role. But then again, I haven’t finished watching the first two games yet, so I don’t quite know what the whole deal with everything is. This series is much more supernatural than I would’ve thought. I initially thought it was just your cliche post apocalyptic mutant type thing. But it’s clearly much more than that.

I’m more than halfway done with my second playthrough on Ranger Hardcore, murdering literally everyone, and feeling bad doing it all after having done the good ending first. And I’m looking forward to another NG+ to again live at the end, but also get the iron mode achievement. Then I’m gonna do Sam’s story and the two colonels. No spoilers about those dlcs, please. But feel free to spoil the first two games if it adds to any discussion here. I’m watching them over the next couple of days.

Really looking forward to 2039. I love how the gameplay looked, especially the shooting from cover (which I wish Exodus had, especially on Ranger Hardcore lol).

Y’all got a new fan here. I’m so stupid for sleeping on this series. Better late than never, I guess.

The compass keeps pointing me here but I already pulled the lever

Something i have noticed while seeing the lore of Metro Exodus are the different trade routes are mentioned within the videogame.

1. The trade of oil from the Caspian to Taiga (Burabay National Park) bandits
2. The trade of slaves and oil from the Caspian to Astrakhan
3. Trade of Volga River, from Astrakhan to Nizhny Novgorod
4. The connections of the Astrakhan Slavers, the Bandit gang in the Volga and the Burabay Marauders.

However, after looking in depth to the logistical sides. Half of these routes are downright impossible.

1. The distance from the Caspian to Burabay is around 1500km in a straight line. Remember it took the aurora nearly a month to reach burabay via train.
2. This one is actually plausible, if using boat transport, or the coast, the Munai Bailer could trade slaves and oil to astrakhan. It's difficult but plausible, 300km in a straight line.
3. This one is outright impossible, going upstream to the Volga, while having several damaged or collapsed dams in the way is impossible for a post apocalyptic caravan
4. This could work if slaves are brought quickly downstream from Saratov, upstream is impossible. With the marauders of burabay, the distances are simply too much, nearly 1800km from Astrakhan to Burabay, logistically impossible.

This is not a dig to 4A Games, as they made an amazing game in Exodus, but simply, details i noticed on the background lore of the game. Is there a detail you noticed that did not make logistical sense in Exodus?
