Is Metro 2033 the SCARIEST game in the world or am I just a pussy? - General

Wow, this guy is a wuss. That part was easy, you don't even need to fight the librarians, if you stare them down long enough they don't perceive you as a threat and go away on their own accord. EDIT: Apparently none of you have actually played this game.

Should've kept the Volt Driver (?) gun; an overcharged shot to the head insta-kills those dark librarians. I felt like I short of broke the final archives level by simply sniping my way through the sleeping/wandering librarians.

The part with the amoebas are one of the most rage-inducing missions in the history of modern gaming in Ranger Hardcore mode. Miller just herp-derps straight into the little ballsacks and keels over, causing a teeth-grinding keyboard-smashing monitor-snapping bout of fury. I still haven't gotten past that point. On that note, I love Metro. Are there any post-apocalyptic games that are like it? S.T.A.L.K.E.R perhaps?

I just finished watching all of your lets play videos so far for this, I really enjoyed it!

Yea you can destroy the things the spawn from, takes a lot of ammo tough (maybe not as many nades). I didn't realize until the very last area with them.

I just used throwing knives for the entirety of the game up until Amoebae then I just threw nades and spammed bullets like a motherfucker.

Makes me want to play metro 2033 again

I liked this game so much but by the end I was so sick of conserving ammo that I just wanted to empty clips into everything that moved.

[QUOTE=xpod1;35552654]i played ranger hardcore first time because im the best there is [editline]13th April 2012[/editline] ps the tunnels were not fun[/QUOTE] Ranger hardcore is the true way to play Metro. Love it.

Seriously, does no one know that you can destroy the amoeba generators? I don't understand why everyone hates that bit, it's on of the easiest parts of the game.

Yeah, you can destroy them. We all know that. The problem is when you're on [i]Ranger Hardcore difficulty[/i]. When you're down to a handful of rounds, an extremely dumb AI that walks directly into the moving landmines, and your vision is obscured by slime and blood, things get a tad harder.

I beat the game on Ranger Hardcore and the amoeba part was actually really easy. You know how [sp]at that part, you have to walk in a full circle to get to the elevator? Instead of walking the full circle, you can jump down onto a lower ledge/walkway in the chasm in the middle, walk past the barrier on the normal path, and jump back up to the elevator. If you're far enough away from the NPC with you, he won't get damaged by the amoeba and he'll just stroll over to you. [/sp] Spoiler tagged for those not done with the game.

[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;35576228]Guess you weren't paying attention because the darker ones attacked him on sight.[/QUOTE] Did you play the game? I played through that part and didn't have to kill a single one of the librarians there. I was fine until they are scripted to attack you.

Also, just to clarify: there's a chain-link fence to the right of the elevator when you get off at the reactor level. Crouch and keep walking into the gap between the fence and the reactor, and you'll squeeze through. Go down the normal path to the ladder to the control room and Miller will follow along. Just watch out for amoebae and and cover the retard with the Volt Driver, and he'll get along pretty quickly. Also, I have another suicide-causing story to relate: During the trip to the Tower, my gas mask got cracked and Artyom started wheezing like an asthmatic. [I]Then the game autosaves.[/I] Moments later, dead. The game reloads - dead. Over and over again. In the last few moments of each individual Artyom's life, I ran around for a gas mask. Finally find one in a small red box, Artyom puts it on, then he collapses and dies a horrible death. Quite rage-inducing indeed.

is this even a live commentary? or are you just recording your voice over watching the video, if so, how are you getting scared after already playing it?

[QUOTE=LieutenantLeo;35583367]is this even a live commentary? or are you just recording your voice over watching the video, if so, how are you getting scared after already playing it?[/QUOTE] Yeah of course it's live, I try to immerse myself into any games that I play. When I play horror games particularly I make sure my room is dark & there's no distractions.

watching this one video i've already subscribed and am watching the others from start to finish i haven't laughed so hard in years.

[QUOTE=Jocke;35553281]I'm stuck at D6 with 22 magnum bullets, fuck[/QUOTE] When you go down, right before the amoeba, there is a bunch of trams and in the back is tons of weapons and ammo.

this game looks really good is it really good

[QUOTE=Checkers;35591571]this game looks really good[B],[/B] is it really good[B]?[/B][/QUOTE] It's fantastic. I always hoped that fallout could be blended with this game and create one of the best games to ever grace this world, but that's just me

[QUOTE=Checkers;35591571]this game looks really good is it really good[/QUOTE] Excellent.

Last light looks like it is everything metro 2033 was and then some. Also looks like stealth will be much much better judging by the trailers.

I finished it, god damn amazing game.

When you're screaming you sound like a chimp.

I love the way you say "fucked", it's just so tactile and awesome. You could be on the radio.

I just got home from work and decided I'd watch the video in the OP while eating my pasta. It went not quite as smooth as I had hoped. I ate maybe 3 bites before I couldn't eat anymore because I was laughing way too much.
