I've been playing 2033 and is boring as it gets, does Last Light gets better ?

>playing 2033

>>713095943
why ?

>>713096049
they aren't the same game. 2033 is far better.

>>713095943
The original was delisted from steam.

>>713095889 (OP)
2033 is good but slow to start
last light refines the formula and ups the budget and you FINALLY get some solo play spaces
exodus is what the series should always have been, much bigger play spaces but the same sort of feel

>>713096365
>last light refines the formula
you mean dumbs it down

>>713095889 (OP)
Last Light was my favourite although the best parts in the series are the last third and first DLC of Exodus.

The games aren't optimised for console, when it comes to aiming and loading times for Exodus.

>>713096365
Exodus killed the series. It's peak trash. I hate it, it's not what Metro should be at all.

>>713096435
>dumbs it down
>adds more enemy types
>adds more weapons
>adds solo play spaces
>adds time of day mechanics
?

>>713096556
if exodus is trash why is the production value so much higher than the first two games?

>>713096078
What's the difference between them besides graphics?

>>713097552
Downgraded enemy Ai

Why didn't they just clone stalker but set underground? That's what everyone wanted from the third game

>>713097652
Probably because they're made after the books

>>713097625
enemies that instantly know where you are, permanently, because one of their guys fell over is not an upgrade

>>713095889 (OP)
Metro is the "I can't believe it's not Stalker!" of video games

>>713097517
idk why but some retards are super anal about the game taking place outside moscow metro for a bit

>>713097652
they wanted to but didn't have the budget,maybe 4th will be just that

>>713097652
>Why didn't they just clone X
this is why you're not a gamedev lmfao

>>713098276
maybe he's Void Wars dev

>>713095889 (OP)
it was really cool years ago. its a now outdated linear shooter. the first quarter and last quarter is just walking and talking

>>713097552
Gameplay changes like being able to freely mod weapons instead of buying weapon with predefined mods, the shambler's melee attack and variant with a bayonet attached for increased damage being removed, grenades and knives needed to be equipped and you could cook them, no takedowns so you had to hit enemies on the head with the knife's punch attack, stealth was much harder because making even a single sound or being seen once would cause all enemies to be alerted after a while, some weapon placements were changed like the automatic shotgun and railgun in Armory Station being removed.

>>713097552
The stealth mechanics in Redux/Last Light are a major downgrade from the original game.
>but stealth is too hard in the original game
I don't care, I like it that way.
>it's too unforgiving!
Just like the game wanted it to be.
If you want the ending that gives you good boy points for not killing people, you should be rewarded for studying the environment and navigating it without engaging with any of the people who'd want you dead.
If you want to go full Predator on their asses and kill every one of them in sneak attacks, because there are no nonlethal options (and that's a good thing), you should have to work for it.

>>713097790
They know where you are because shit echoes in those tunnels. Once they're on edge, they're not getting off edge until you're dead.

>>713098276
Exodus cloned Far Cry so the pros aren't doing much better.

>>713100627
Artyom is canonically a low level psychic that has preternaturally good stealth abilities as a result of his contact with dark ones as a child, having to autistically avoid every single enemy because they will telepathically relay your location to every enemy in 0.1s permanently isn't good design.

It is garbage games. Guys, if you wanna try them, just pirate them.

>>713095889 (OP)
great atmosphere. but thats about it. released at a time when imsims of its like were in very short supply

doesnt hold up imo

>>713100801
>gun=far cry
lmao

chances are that if you disliked 2033, you probably won't care much for last light
they're very much story telling FPS games with action in certain moments, and lots of environmental story telling as well

>METRO FAR CRY IS WHAT IT SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE BEEN

>>713098112
>People dont like that METRO, takes place outside the METRO for most of the game

go figure

>>713095889 (OP)
Shit take
2033 is great, tho my favorite was the Railcar segment in LL.
Spider lairs, Bandit hideouts and that ending...

Having read 2033 and 2034 and the summary of 35.
They should have dropped Gluchowski as writer.
34 was boring and 35 just putin/gov hate.
Even in 33 they start explaining away the magic at the end, which fkn sucks.
