[QUOTE=Flapjacks;45747554]^^Whereabouts are you in Canada? I saw it at a local [URL="http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/home/?langtype=4105"]Coles[/URL] here in Ontario.[/QUOTE]

Quebec...

And well, I guess I didn't see that the prices were in US$ instead of CAN$, so I guess the prices are pretty much the same.

[QUOTE=huntingrifle;45742990]Metro 2034 follows Hunter's POV some time before or during Last Light, is what I last heard.[/QUOTE]

it really follows an old man named Homer that tags along with Hunter for certain reasons

while it was an interesting read it has quite a different tone than the first book and can be really slow at times

what else did you expect? pc master race.

[Mio Akiyama]

I'm holding out that 4A will announce a new game in the metro universe soon, they said they were working on one along with the remakes of 2033 & Last Light

[Pops]

just a fyi

the redux games can be pre-loaded now.

[Killzor]

The pre-loads show up as only being 150mb for me. I read somewhere the actual preload would start tomorrow.

[69105]

you know developers are running out of ideas when they just reboot games

4A is going to start giving AAA producers ideas. i'm going to start expecting call of duty reduxes in the coming years. at least they're not full price. i'd gladly pay for metro again

I actually don't see CoD getting any redux's. Crazy right? I think they'll just keep making shittier ones instead.

[StrawberryClock]

When the game unlocks, can someone play on Normal Survival Ranger and tell me how it is? That's how I was thinking to play.

If you remind me on the 26th, I'll surely check it out.

[Coverop]

Just 5 more days and Redux will be availilble. I can't wait for it!

[Pops]

[QUOTE=Dub!;45785116]If you remind me on the 26th, I'll surely check it out.[/QUOTE]

steam will surely notify you of the game being available

as will the amount of posts flooding the thread.

Us Europeans have to wait untill the 29th :(

[GHOST!!!!]

Well we have to wait till the 29th if we don't a VPN.

[Pops]

that's kind of sad considering 4a is based in eastern europe

then again i'm amazed 4a's studio hasn't been bombed

[Waffuru]

okay I think the actual preload is up, I see it's about 8gb.

Game unlocks in 28 more hours, hype as fuck

Didn't they move their studio to Malta though?

you realise that only south-east ukraine is involved in the ongoing issues?

[Pops]

[QUOTE=Beacon;45794984]you realise that only south-east ukraine is involved in the ongoing issues?[/QUOTE]

i know nothing of ukrainian geography, except where it is on a map of europe.

[Ghost101]

Did the Redux releases get pushed back? I could've sworn the ETA was today. I hope they don't put Last Light's kill/non-lethal morality system in 2033, that always bugged me. I understand not killing guards or people doing their jobs, but it was annoying to miss out on a morality point for killing bandits or nazis or other obviously bad people.

But that's the entire point of the morality system.

You're just as bad, you're just as horrible, you're just as much of a monster. (Artyom, not literally *you*)

Metro as a series is a commentary of humanity, human nature, and our psychology. We will never go anywhere as a species if we focus on anger, hatred, and revenge.

[GHOST!!!!]

The thing I didn't like about it was how I would have to go out of my way to find places that give me good morality points in order to get the better ending.

[Pops]

[QUOTE=GHOST!!!!;45796870]The thing I didn't like about it was how I would have to go out of my way to find places that give me good morality points in order to get the better ending.[/QUOTE]

easiest way to get the good ending for 2033

give the man some bullets, listen to the person's story, don't kill anyone, only kill monsters.

[Crest]

It bugged me how you got good morality points for discovering hidden areas. Makes no sense to me.

[Ganerumo]

[QUOTE=Excalibuurr;45796944]Only issue I have with the moral system is killing bandits, like seriously?[/QUOTE]
Well it makes sense in Last Light where you have the ability to not kill anyone and just knock them out cold.

[QUOTE=Brt5470;45797601]It bugged me how you got good morality points for discovering hidden areas. Makes no sense to me.[/QUOTE]
I think it isn't really about being a moral guy alone and more about how the dark ones are watching your every move and paying close attention to whether or not you're actually worth it. Which is why exploration is rewarded and why killing nazis, bandits or guards accounts for the same drop of points, the dark ones don't give a shit if the people are worse than you, murder is still murder.

[Waffuru]

I guess you uncover little areas with untold stories to be told? I may be over thinking things but when I look at the environments I kinda try and figure out what happened there and piece together my own conclusions of what went down. I dunno I thought the dead city in and the airplane in LL was really amazing, perhaps it gave a wider perspective of the world to Artyom...? I would like to think of it that atleast..

Honestly when I see a random corpse laying around I just kinda think to myself how that person got there and what his last seconds of life were.

[Crest]

If I want loot, I want loot. I don't see why gameplay-wise I could get good karma for it.
