How is the gameplay though? And should I go for redux and the ranger mode?

Play the original version not redux. You can either play it as your typical fps or a first person version of Splinter Cell by playing with lights and sounds to sneak around. It's still a good game nonetheless.

If you're in the mood of FPS action, better get Crysis.

I don't know that Metro will be FPS-y enough for you, but you should play it regardless.

It's pretty good
don't play the redux version

Got bored and never finished it.


What makes the redux version bad?

They messed up some of the gameplay in the process, especially stealth and the bullet sponginess of some of the mutants

Gameplay isn't worth a damn but tries to appeal outside Russia, which fucks it too. Couldn't be otherwise, the reality would have it defenseless to scum.

Played Last Light on 360, original on PC.

You can tweak it, I had it looking impressive by the end fiddlin around with the FXAA injector, sweetFX and maybe enbseries.

You can change the lighting to global illumination in the .ini

It's to look around in, the most interesting parts being the places without guns.

The gunplay was shit. Too well thought out. Too easy, you had everything you needed. Second was even worse like that. You were never made to conserve ammo, or go all out using it. Actually you were made to do as expected. What fucks up most games. Game tried to take into account what you were going to do instead of makin interesting things to do. Confused too.

Can't really fake anything. May be a lesson for graphics, even if it looks matching but is fake it still feels fake, like seeing landscape you can't visit.

Might be right for an engine to have NO post processing, and just spitting out world as fast as it can.

I liked it but both tried to fill boxes. Do working things. Didn't do things their way. Appealed to people. Some of that was good though, some nostalgic camraderie thing.

Would be better if devs made a freeroaman, no idea how it would be played out. Not a death gauntlet. Less casual about shooting. During firefights should be truing to dk thigs fast as possible not lounging around. Enemies dying were like "ow my head" kind of thing. Some more try for realism…

You go through places too, you don't stay long enough for them to grow on you. Sleeping in a bunk, doing missions, talking with npcs. You do thigs within an area and move on. One time you're asked to stay and that was the time to kill that piece of shit manager.

A kind of thing where everything is unsure, and ready to comply. Not fuck this, we have to get it done. Or fuck it. And their own thing. Plus propaganda. People acting like their dreams were lies, tragedies. The only rule was always to do something wrong. Not fuck all this, doing something right.

Could be a game in going your own way trying to see if there can be another way than being part of what was below, groups etc. and how people can be togeher without them submitting tk anything including a central ethos. Just take care of needs hardcore, do something else when it is a good idea and can be done solo. Or people smitten by the same idea doing it together. Not for you fucking idiots. People onto interesting ways to die see how far they can go before they go back, find they don't need to. Get some entertainment out of eachother.

Go running arround a wasteland, looking for their dream girl or guy or somewhere good looking, a couple settle somewhere and some missions to set them up, windmill or water mill, little farm, figure out just what people need to live. Probably just great experiences. Enough so they can build something better than everything they've encountered, someone else can do better etc.

Very little shooting
Its more of a stealth game than anything else. That combined with the fact that ammo is your currency gives you even less incentive to shoot.

It's pretty good. The stealth is actually really good. Don't play redux. They fucked the game up.
