[QUOTE=Dub!;45810031]How do you check your ammo on Ranger Hardcore? I thought they added a way to do so in the redux?[/QUOTE] journal

How is Ranger mode in Redux. Did they fix all the missing crucial UI elements like QTE prompts and grenade selectors.

[QUOTE=Holt!;45810173]How is Ranger mode in Redux. Did they fix all the missing crucial UI elements like QTE prompts and grenade selectors.[/QUOTE] Nope. =| [editline]26th August 2014[/editline] Wait! the_killer was right! You simply open up your journal and you can see the grenade selectors and ammo. That's cool. Although QTE indicators are still missing.

You still have to listen to the sounds it makes when switching which thrown wep you want to use and there is no qte prompt, just spam E whenever your char gets into some cinematic view just to be safe [editline]26th August 2014[/editline] holy shit they weren't kidding when they said they made huge performance improvements in LL redux, in areas where I usually tank down to like 30-40 FPS I now have a steady 60 frames jesus

I still can't launch 2033 redux. :(

[QUOTE=Devil Traitor;45810690]I still can't launch 2033 redux. :([/QUOTE] You and me, its sad banjo sing along time.

[QUOTE=Texas_Ranger;45809020]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.[/QUOTE] you mean the hookah or the bar? because i still have nightmares about that bar scene in last light.

Which scene?

I was hoping that the smoke/muzzle flash/particle bug would be fixed but it isn't. For anybody who doesn't know it looks like this [t]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/564395174747993195/70F0F887C1E01563BDBC591CF6149D7EBA964B61/[/t] Its not too visible in this picture, but the fire's smoke is a big annoying circle and so are muzzle flashes but those aren't in the picture. The only way to fix it is to turn the graphics on very high but that makes my game lag too much [editline]26th August 2014[/editline] Hang on let me get a better picture, its way more visible with the barrel fires

Steam acts weird when you've decrypted a game on VPN but then play it off VPN.

I did the VPN crap with Dishonored, played the game for a few hours off Steam, said I had played it for 1 minute on Steam.

Alright, Metro 2033 Redux is wonderful, although: Who else feels that the journal entries feel tacked on? Like they don't actually sound as if Artyom is writing them. They just feel so much more different than Last Light's.

Are the keys new? what do they do?

[QUOTE=Zeb Brown;45811811]Are the keys new? what do they do?[/QUOTE] They are new. They open up locks with a lot of loot in 'em.

[QUOTE=Dub!;45811820]They are new. They open up locks with a lot of loot in 'em.[/QUOTE] I've found like 3 keys but no locks yet.

[QUOTE=Zeb Brown;45811826]I've found like 3 keys but no locks yet.[/QUOTE] You know when you first come up to the Dead City with Bourbon? [sp]Turn around near that dead body and there should be stairs leading up. Watch out for the tripwire. After you go up there you will be greeted by a nosalise. After that keep heading forward and watch out for one more tripwire. You'll find a door. Open it. Use the red key you found on the telephone to open the lock.[/sp]

Been playing redux on the Xbone. It looks pretty damn good even though it's running at 912p :v: My only issue that some of the achievements are broken.

So anyone get a chance to try that crazy 8 shot shotgun or the little grenade lobber yet? Are they as sexy as they were in the developer DLC?

[QUOTE=Makol;45812160]Been playing redux on the Xbone. It looks pretty damn good even though it's running at 912p :v: My only issue that some of the achievements are broken.[/QUOTE] I'm playing it on my One also. Cheevos work fine for me.

[QUOTE=Dub!;45812165]I'm playing it on my One also. Cheevos work fine for me.[/QUOTE] Have you gotten either of the achievements from the Frontline missin in 2033? They're still broken from the 360 version. Neither the "kill everyone" or "kill no one" seem to pop up when completed.

[QUOTE=The_J_Hat;45811468]Which scene?[/QUOTE] when artyom sits at the bar and has one too many drinks and wakes up and everyone laughs at him and there's some implication with an old woman or something..

Well my game decided to not want to work even though it was working earlier

Hopefully they'll have a patch out soon for the weird issues the Redux games have had.

Is Redux out yet in Australia? The Steam store home page says pre-purchase but the game's page seems to suggest that it's been released.

Can someone make a compare picture of Metro 2033 and Metro 2033 Redux?

[QUOTE=coverop;45813816]Can someone make a compare picture of Metro 2033 and Metro 2033 Redux?[/QUOTE] Just check the trailer on the store page, it compares shots in it

Well 2033 is so much better now, running it full only with SSA off.

Anyone else feel like the aim is a bit off? I feel like there's a small amount of acceleration, and the vertical sensitivity seems lower than the horizontal.

Please tell me that brushing up against a knocked out guy on the rail with your railcar doesn't count as a kill. Trying to do a no human kill run.. well maybe not the guys on the train and the square.
