r/metroexodus

I’ve tried playing this game multiple times, first on my PS4, and later on my PC. Every time, I ended up giving up within the first two hours, mainly because of the sheer number of controls. It felt like I had to study and memorize them all, and during stressful moments I would panic and struggle to find the right buttons or keys to press. This happened to me on both PlayStation and PC. And as I play multiple games, I can't put that much effort into learning key binding of one game. So I wanted to ask if there’s any way I can get around this issue, because I really want to experience this beautiful game.

Having loved the first two Metro games and having played them 10+ times each, it is with great disappointment that I say this, but Metro Exodus is a terrible game.

The plot is hollow. The reasons for them keeping everyone in the dark about being able to communicate with the outside world (for like 20 years) are ridiculous. Why not task Artyom and a small veteran crew to explore parts of the surface. They could have divided Exodus into two or three separate games.

They didn't explore the different locations we came across in great detail. The game lacks that iconic Metro atmosphere and ambience. The surface feels dull with a few monsters scattered here and there.

I didn't like the addition of the zombies that you come across the Urals regions mainly. I wish it was some sort of new creepy mutant creature. Speaking of mutants, why does the flying beast, Demon, look more like a giant bat now??!

Many small things I don't like; such as the day night cycle - I believe that this takes away from the Metro atmosophere that we've all come to know and love. A much better way to do this would have been the design the game to be more linear and as you progress, the day turns to night or vice versa.

There is no reason to add a meta where the gun gets dirty; what is the point of this? Completely pointless. The gun gets dirty waaaay too fast. I don't want to have to worry about these pointless things that take away from the immersion. Where the gas mask meta added to the urgency of the first two Metro games, the gun getting dirty takes away from it.

There's waaay too much dialogue.

The crew lacks a clear plan. The reason for Artyom and his crew to venture all the way to Novasibriski is ridiculous. Also, there are zero people at the station. Only a child survives? The place doesn't even have NPCs scattered all over the place like you find in the Moscow Metro.

I feel like, unlike the first two games, almost everyone you come across is trying to kill you, and their reasons for doing so are really petty/bad. Like at the summer camp place, did no one think, gee, these guys might not be trying to harm us, they're outsiders, not those creepy bandits.

Also, every single place we come across feels empty and hollow, missing NPCs/life unlike the first two Metro games.

I did like Sams Story, it was a good DLC but I didn't like the open world nature of it.

6 Hours

You could say is a long period of time within a day. You could use that time to read a book, listen music, or maybe... Maybe play sam's story.

And you go to prepare dinner and close the game... And maybe, JUST MAYBE, a text says "data corrupted, overwrite data?" And that text usually appears but never does something bad, so why not?

Jajajaja

And then, there you are, instead of fighting the batwing for a third time, you are in Moscu, with Artyom. Your savegame? GONE. Your incredible equipment? GONE...

At least I achieved the achievement of the cinema, pretty funny

I bought the game in a bundle and was excited to play (I play on series x) and the main menu is just black. I can't see anything except for the light past some fans in the top of the screen. But the only thing that's not pitch black is the sky I guess.

I've tried everything google says to fix it but I just wanna know if it's a common problem or not. My tv is pretty old, doesn't have hdr or 4k so I hope that's not the problem but honestly I also don't know if my xbox is the problem?
