Metro Series Megathread - "The Dark Ones will kill us all." - Games

[QUOTE=Zeb Brown;45805434]Hmm, I can run pretty much everything on full in 2033, but if I change the SSAA to 2X from 0.5X it just tanks my computer. thought I'd be able to run this on full with my 770. Do you think Nvid will bring out a patch for the game or something?[/QUOTE] IIRC SSAA basically means you're letting the game run at a higher 3D resolution (Like you can in ARMA and Battlefield 4) So it's pretty normal that it would cause huge slowdowns.

[QUOTE=zeldar;45805336]It's interesting how in the 2033 Redux menu they show (LL spoilers) [sp]an old Artyom at the typewriter with Anna and their child. Maybe that confirms that the good ending for LL is canon?[/sp] Just speculating.[/QUOTE] [sp]i figured the good ending was the best setup for the next game anyway, since they explicitly mention the dark ones just leaving people to their own devices when in the first game they just say that the dark ones fixed everything and everyone was happy[/sp]

I work at target and the game is street dated until thursday. what do.

[QUOTE=Zeb Brown;45805572]but on 0.5 it makes the game look fuzzy? is there no 1x?[/QUOTE] Think of SSAA as a multiplier for your resolution (ex: 1080p). At 0.5x it actually lowers your resolution and gives a poorer quality picture in exchange for performance. At 1x you would have the equivalent of SSAA off.

[QUOTE=Zeb Brown;45805778]but see the problem is that you can't just set it to 1x as it seems.[/QUOTE] Turn SSAA off, and that will be the same thing as having it as 1x. That is why 1x is not actually listed as an option.

[QUOTE=Killzor;45805795]Turn SSAA off, and that will be the same thing as having it as 1x. That is why 1x is not actually listed as an option.[/QUOTE] oh I thought you could only have it on low, not completely off.

Anyone else having problems stealthing the Nazi outpost outside of Blackstation? Troops setting off their own alarm or them firing at Demons causes them to go on alertmode and hunt you down... even if you were in another room just crouching in a corner. [editline]26th August 2014[/editline] I've died several times already because I'm in the middle of a room full of Nazis completely undetected then suddenly the patrol outside that's walking through the graveyard of cars starts shooting the demons and then the whole room at the outpost everyone flicks their headlights on and catches me in the room with them. It's fucking bullshit [editline]26th August 2014[/editline] Fuck it, I shot and killed everyone don't stay above ground in that car graveyard. Three Demons flying around and one picked me up and dropped me into the middle of Nazi Patrol group, right when my character finishes the getting up animation I'm thinking welp about to get shot up but then suddenly another Demon picks me up and drops me AGAIN killing me.. Fuck that level.

I was playing last night, got like an hour or two in and stopped. Came back today and my save is gone and the FOV option in the appdata doesn't work anymore, i'm afraid to play now!

Your save is not gone, let me dig up the post explaining it for you [editline]26th August 2014[/editline] HOLY SHIT I CAN'T FIND IT :suicide:

so, is anyone else not getting the correct discount on the redux bundle? it gave me 50% off for having both games yesterday and today it's only giving me 25%.

[IMG]http://puu.sh/b95h0/b03efc013d.jpg[/IMG] I got nothing on store page when release is it just says like any other game that I own it. It says its already released yet i cant play it in my libary.

[QUOTE=Stephen427sf;45808133]What is with this american bullshit on getting it first when this fucking company is in EU.[/QUOTE] I don't know, and it probably has to do with publishers, legal rights, and steam/valve being US based. Besides this game is crashing for many people including I. This gift my boyfriend bought me does not work. You are not missing anything right now my friend, chances are yours would crash too.

My main complaint with 2033 Redux so far is a lack of polish in some areas. There are some clipping issues, facial animations aren't always up to par, and some locations like that new challenge area in Market feel pretty out of place.

I was playing my 13th run of last light, and i decided to try the hookah in the brothel for fun and artyom actually laughed and said "oh yeah" drugs made artyom fight his mute-ness

It's post-apocalyptic metro russia, chances are the hookah is crammed with mushrooms and that weird purple goo Sergei found in the sewers last thursday.

Is Artyom a lightweight in the book, or was that something that the game just decided to do? It's been way too long since I read the book, and I should probably read it again.

Damn it, my save disappeared.

Starting the game up right now. Here we go! [video=youtube;k900hqBNc14]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k900hqBNc14[/video]

I just beat the game on Survival Rangerhardcore. ahhh good game this is my reason why I hate Librarians [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMuI8JaGvJE&list=UUlZwt6dIdA9O97SHOO74qDw[/media] The 8 shot shotty is bonkers, the laser is too far to the left so the shells actually land more to the right of where the laser is actually pointing and the mask wipe in the vid is off too

Changed my mind about the target gallery at Market. Seems like it would make more sense to be at Polis but it's a nice diversion nonetheless. Maybe some of the craftsmen there made it to pass the time. I also really like how they placed a younger version of LL's main antagonist in the communist station level.

How do you check your ammo on Ranger Hardcore? I thought they added a way to do so in the redux?
