The sense that you're being dragged along is part of the story, in the books artyom realises that fate is literally dragging him through hell to complete some unseen goal of his
That is definitely something lost in translation. The storytelling is far more "Eastern European / Russian" than it is "Western," which is why the main character isn't always the center of the story or the events that are happening.
@@ZodiacEntertainment2 I believe after his meeting with the two people at Polyanka, at least in the English translation, Artyom has some perception that whenever he has set upon his journey with a renewed effort, or belief(?), fate has somehow contrived for him to be carried along: such as simply walking past everyone after cleaning the latrines and the guard not being present, and then him being immediately offered an ability to become cleaned up and left only a station or two away from polis. It also occured to him that it is possible if he should falter, he might loose this thread, and everything would start conspiring against him again (that general theme of distances in the metro not always being as short as they seem on a map comes in to play to cause this to have real weight). If this is the case, he questions whether he has a right to risk losing this thread again due to the threat faced at his home station by lingering for a second longer at Polyanka, and this prompts him onwards.
(This revelation and conversation is all later revealed to possibly maybe be caused by toxic gases released intermittently at the station, which are sometimes blown away by winds from the surface carried down through ventilation)
"Artyom! Kill the dark ones"
"Artyom! Kill the commies"
"Artyom! Deliver this pizza to Polis"
"Artyom! Feel my boobs because apparently im your love interest now"
Neggative 0 I've never believed that last bit in the slightest, it's like a bad written hentai. Funny how Yahtzee didn't mention it.
Anna , shut thu fuck up
He is
"Recker! Give me sea fore charge!"
Neggative 0 That sex scene was cringeworthy
A conversatioin in the tunnel, i think it was in 2034:
-Don't worry. Well catch a fish to eat.
-How do you know we'll catch a fish and not cancer, like mom?
It was in last light
probably in Venice
I can't tell if that's funny or depressing.
both i guess theres alot of dark humor in the books and games
gregnes2000
I don't think it's supposed to be funny
Fun fact!
The reason people survived spesifically in Moscow was because during the cold war was the russians made the metro able too withstand a nuclear war.
I hate my grammar...
Marcus Magnusson Still you gave us a really neat fact so minor grammar errors can be forgiven.
Not just Moscow. There are several books in the same universe and in them it is stated that people have also survived in Sankt Petersburg, and even Rome and Napoli. There are also places on the surface that have remained habitable; places that were relatively safe from the rockets. Some say that even the Russian leaders have escaped across the Urals into Siberia (unlikely, given the Kremlin was targeted with some sort of undetectable bioweapon).
What's clear is that Moscow, Washington and the entire Middle East were the worst affected by WW3, since that's where most of the nukes landed.
@@uuamenator You are aware that a nuclear blast is just like a giant fire wave right? The reason why one of the cities in Japan was literally wiped out was due to the traditional homes being made out of wood and paper whereas in Moscow, those buildings are made from top to bottom in concrete. The nuclear blast itself would pretty much only lightly damage it but 20 years without maintenance is basically what brought it to the state we find it in.
@@uuamenator I'd imagine it depends on when it was built, during the cold war, Russia was really all about making sure stuff would be made to last pretty much against anything that could be thrown at it. But even then, it's amazing what still manages to stand after an earthquake, so it's not an impossibility that a tower like this could stand after all the damages and years of disrepair.
Quick note: All the voice actors are Russian/Ukrainian - so there's no Slavic accent being put on.
Yeah , it's kinda obvious , since the developper is Ukranian and the game is set in Russia .
Well then they suck at speaking English in their accent because it sounds like a shitty imitation.
Yuki Nitta it may suprise you, but a lot of Russians speaking English sounds like a shitty imitiation of a Russian speaking English.
Source: am Russian.
That's the funny part. A real slavic accent sounds like a fake slavic accent.
@@NEETKitten if the real Russians sound like shitty imitations then doesn't that make the shitty imitation a good imitation.
The best option is to have english subtitles and russian language.
+Red Star well then just UNDERSTAND them man. simple solutions are just so difficult to think of at times...
English version is actually better. This was not the case in the previous game, though.
i will be PRESENT ! dude i WILL BE THERE ! (has a tear in his eye of proud and happiness ) i SALUTE YOU PROUD WARRIOR I SALUTE YOU !
Its the same VAs for english and russian.
The VAs speak both.
It helped save on money.
put it to Spanish to laugh your ass off, all its missing is a Spanish guitar every time someone speaks
This is one game series I deliberately change the language on. Playing with the Russian voices but English subtitles genuinely helps with immersion in the environment.
I lost it at the end.
"Don't give this game to a modern warfare player! Five minutes of listening to russian accents they're not allowed to shoot at and they'll chew their own arms off!"
I still seem to have all my fingers. Then again, i dont play COD as much as I used to.
Holy shit they actually fixed the video title. It was Last Night for YEARS
Wait, So neither Metro 2033 and Metro: Last light tells you that the Moscow metro was specially buildt to withstand nuclear strikes directed directly at the city, while the London metro and New York metro ISNT?
Actually there ARE other survivors in other countries. Metro 2033 kicks off with a character returning from visiting a survivor group in the US.
ThatCanadianGamer well, obviously someon will survive, but i was talking about the metros specificly. Does they say he comes from a metro system?
Myrdin90
It's been a while since I played, I can't really remember.
Well lukely the Munich and Berlin Metros both have Nukeliar bunker's built into them
ThatCanadianGamer Neither in the books nor the game do you get radio contact with other countries, but somewhere in either the book or game Artyom thinks that there maybe is survivors in other contries
Did anybody notice that the title says Metro Last Night?
Whoa what the fuck
Mind blown
Shot Up Gaming nope half convinced you changed it before I could scroll up
Shooterman6y What?
Shot Up Gaming No wonder I kept saying Last Night when it was actually Last Light, it wasn't until Google corrected me that I thought the name was that.
THEY FIXED THE TITLE
IT'S BEEN NEARLY 8 YEARS
"this big winged monster keeps trying to get me to play fetch with my entire body as the stick, am I supposed to be killing it or just getting the fuck away?" XD I cant get enough of replaying that line
Russian Metros are actually A LOT deeper than others. Maybe that's why only those people survived.
+Dandvadan While that is true, according to the game's lore, the Moscow Metro was specifically built to double as a bunker in case of a nuclear fallout ;)
+Druggaar Um... just like real world "lore"
+Dandvadan According to the Universe Metro 2033 Project - books in the setting - peope survived also in some cities in Britain, Petersburg and the most interesting one - in Cracov in Poland where there is no metro to hide in it (they hide all in bomb shelters under Nowa Huta).
The funny thing about that book that happens in Poland is that people are killing each other not with shotguns or assault rifles, like AK47 (well there is a faction that occupies Tadeusz Sendzimir Steelworks, which was a strategic place in Cracov so it had some goodies there, so they were well armed in modern weapons), but with fucking spears, bows, crossbows and muskets. Now THAT is a nice setting for a Metro game :D
I've been a bit out of the loop, but which one of the books is the one in that setting? Also, any general recommendations for Metro books to read, there are just so many of them.
Has nothing to do with ingame lore haha Stalin build them to act 1 as a bunker and secondly it was build in such a grand splendor it was to distract people about the fact they were being opressed.
"Oh god, don't give this game to a Moder Warfare player whatever you do. Five minutes surrounded by Russian accents they're not allowed to shoot at and they'll chew their own arms off."
Are we really sure that's a bad thing?
***** Heavy Mess, but the Priiiiize....
Does stop them from telling me that they supposedly engaged in necrophilia with my parents.
ChunkNinja Funny enough, my copy of Metro: LL was a gift from a friend of mine which is an avid fan of CoD: MW3. He said the game didn't work properly on his PS3 but on mine runs alright (albeit the occasional freeze, but his PS3 always froze in a particular scene).
Of course Metro is a little buggy at times, but I like to think that my friend didn't really grow fond of this game for not shooting Russians XD
ChunkNinja XDD
Fernando Langalú But why would you shoot russians , BTW on PC (aaaaaaaaa *angelic voice * ) game's bug free (99.99% ofc)
"Американцы мертвы, и никто не заботится"
"Americans are dead and nobody cares"
Lol
Well, more precisely it would be "Американцы мертвы и всем плевать", because we don't say in Russian "никто не заботится" (well, maybe only if it's about a child with nobody to take care of him)
@@GeorgAnkar probably google translated, what do ya expect kek
That was one of those small things in life that you can't help but enjoy. When Yahtzee critiques one of your favorite games and doesn't think it's absolutely terrible!
Between this and stain's row,I think Yahtzee has disabled autocorrect.
I think he might do that on purpose.
DeathSpark
"When Artyom eats food does he go om yom yom?"

Penningtontj So bad pun .....
SIND Four Much doge
Supermagnificence Yaaarrrrrrrgh
No, he mostly just eats it fast, because Mushroom soup doesn't taste as good as pig sausages.
I know he has a set of stock gun images he uses, but I find it ironic that for this review he gives a Russian protagonist an M-16, ostensibly the most "American" gun out there right now.
Do you play a lot of Battlefield?
Madarch Can't say as I've ever played a Battlefield game.
***** Ah. Seemed like a very Battlefeild thing to say, seeing as the M16 is(or at least was) the standard gun for the American team.
Madarch Eh. It's one of the more recognizable American guns IRL too, especially since American soldiers use it wherever they go.
***** Very true.
When Yahtzee said "Don't give this to a COD player, or they'll chew their own arms off". I got a funny feeling that's exactly what he'd want us to do with the game.
2:10 one of the major plot twists (and plotline for Last Light) was that D6 (the bunker everyone wants to get their hands on) was not built to sustain life, but to contain things that could eradicate it, specifically bioweapons (as seen in the book and Metro : Redux where they/you fight things right out of an HP. Lovecraft book), making the entire war poignant as people are lead to believe their future is at stake when really the higher-ups want to take control of the entire metro using the threat of absolute extermination.
Hence why the new game is called Exodus, as they leave in search of a better place to stay and/or to contact other survivors.
Wait you guys fixed the typo! Surely a sign of a better time to come.
....The gas mask is required transit equipment. Why don't you have yours? It's on the list right next to headphones for survival.
A Metro game set in America would have enemy mutants carrying giant cellphones next to their heads, blasting deadly percussive sound waves.
wladdaimpala88
Absolutely.
Yeah, I don't know how he can stomach breathing the same air that everyone else seems to piss into every five minutes...
Suddenly relevant comment in 2020...
ah the memories it literally took me an hour to figure out you had to shoot the... the tank.. tread.. disc thingies i forgot but still a fun game
PS, for fuck sake Yahtzee. Research! The Moscow underground was 1 of the only metro systems to be built to resist nuclear war. Another example would be Norads entry tunnel. Now note the difference in ideas of who should be protected in a nuclear war:/
+Gen Ohmni
Bullshit. All russians (and also some other ex-soviets's) metro sistems are built too serve nuclear shelters.
+Gen Ohmni
Bullshit. All russians (and also some other ex-soviets's) metro sistems are built too serve nuclear shelters.
+NoName Needed 1 of... ie a very low statiscal number of metro systems built by humanity are mass nuking of the world proof and talk about missing my point.
Is Norad 1 of the few nuke proof installations built by the yanks? Yes. Is it and most of their nuke shelters exclusively military and political access only. Yes.
Now look at how the Russians did it and view my comment through ideological eyes.
+Gen Ohmni
It's really more of a funding issue and difference in government effectiveness. Less civil liberty means more shit can actually get done (when the system isn't seized by corruption, at least).
Nnelg Indeed. Funding and governmental effectiveness differences derived from 2 different ideologies going at it in any way they could short of war.
i played this game with english subtitles, and russian sound, speaking of immersion.
It wasn't until I read this and took a closer look at the box art that I realized that that wasn't the actual name and that Yahtzee had pulled a "Kane and Lunch."
The shit in metro is depressing as fuck
"Look dad I made a house"
"That looks very nice son. I'm sure mommy would love it"
"Yes dad we can all move into it and be happy!
"I'm sure of it."
"Dad when can we see mommy?"
"Soon son. If only she could of seen how much you've grown"
How DARE you make me remember that!
Thanks for the tip on the tank fight! I was stuck in it so long I just went on TH-cam and looked at videos of the game until I got the answer.
the last joke of every video gets me
This is one of the few game series that still terrifies me when I replay it. Those freaking sections with the spider/scorpion things rushing onto you and your flashlight keeps getting dimmer and dimmer as more and more start crawling around. Then there was that section in Metro 2033 called The Library. A sense of dread comes over me every single time I think of that place. Plus, the AI is questionable at times because sometimes they will still attack you when you're standing still and staring them down.
I hated those tunnel bits ;-; I always had to take at least one break in each one cause it would spook me too much
+Shaun Friden Metro 2033 was terrifying, but Last Light made the mistake of shoving literal piles of ammo at you. I played it on Ranger Hardcore / Survival, and spent the entire game being pretty much capped on all ammo types. As Yatzee said in another review: It's very hard to feel threatened by monsters if you got enough weapons and ammo to blow the all to Narnia. Shame, really, I liked the tension in Metro 2033.
+Shaun Friden the Librarians are supposed to stare at you until you look away or attack. One of the other rangers told you this before you go into the basement.
You're not supposed to stand still against the librarians, you've got to back off slowly
Same deal with the tank at the end. :/
Yep, took me forever to figure it out.
Awesome game, though!
Idk how many times i've played through that mission and it still fucks with me remembering what I have to do
The logic being that the tank needs to be on a angle for you to get a shot on the ammo
I too got stuck on the final climatic mission. It was not at all obvious that you had to shoot the tank wheels before it's weak spot. I don't understand how no QA tester got stuck on that.
I've always thought it'd be nice if they made Metro play like S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
EraVulgaris
It's pretty much the same designers.
Spiritual successor and all that.
The shooting in Metro is what S.T.A.L.K.E.R. should of had:
My PRECIOUS bullet GO WHERE I POINT THEM, and there's no random bullshit bullet ballistics sending them swaying in the other direction when I point my gun at someone AT CLOSE RANGE
+Judson Joist
I never understood how the Oblivion lost mods worked. Is OL2010 the first one? Is OL3.0 Just an update, should I download that instead?
Judson Joist STILL doesn't change the fact that the base game is flawed.
Zelousmarineinspace
Flawed in what way?
That the condition on the weapons had a little too much impact on accuracy?
The S.T.A.L.K.E.R games have a very high dependancy upon the upgrade system, which in many ways is what makes the game stand out.
But that means a low grade weapon with no upgrades and in severe need of repair will be really hard to do anything with.
I can completely relate to that last bit about the tank. I had the exact same (infuriating) experience, my first time playing.
What bothers me, even though it doesn't really matter, is that in Metro 2033, my favorite book even above Ender's Game, actually addresses all of the other metro systems like New York and Paris and England.
I'm not sure about London or Paris, but New York's subway would flood slowly after the power went out as the pumps that keep the water out would stop working.
Seth Masy Did it? I thought they didn't know either way, what with ruined communication systems. Although the possibility was certainly there.
I'm not sure but as both London and Paris have rivers close to their underground networks it could easily happen there as well
The Doomed
I think you're right, even if it wouldn't be flooded right away seasonal floods and rain water would collect water in the system.
legion999 Well I think that we can just assume.
The reason other metros aren't mentioned is actually said in the game, the first and second. The Moscow Underground was actually built as a giant fallout shelter, while other undergrounds, including those in other Russian cities, were not built to such a standard.
I honestly prefered when it was called Metro Last Night.
Would’ve been a cooler name for the game tbh
The whole thing with tank wheels actually helped me with a difficult part
Virgin: Playing metro in English
Chad: play metro in Russian with subs on
Genderlord: playing metro in Russian without subs
...the third one could also be a Russian.
That’s just shitty design
In days past i used to fall asleep while listening to some music or a good audiobook in low volume, nowadays i listen to yatzee before sleeping, subsequently i havnt slept in weeks.
4:47 Wait, wouldn't that be an EXCELLENT reason to give it to a CoD player?
Yes.
And the beginning, and the middle, and the snack break, and the outro, and the intro, and the great analogy of public transport, and the everything else I forgot to mention...
Yahtzee is one of those reviewers that really convinces you to buy a game
Watched this for the first time after playing Last light. He hit the nail on the head with the train bit. The game never gives you direction on what to do when you need it.
as a cod fan, i laughed so hard at the joke at the end.
but seriously, they DO live there, you experience the reason why they dont live on the service, and with a bunch of assholes who, when they need eachothers the most to, for once NOT make the human race go *poof gone, they have no where else to go except for the little stations, though i get your point.
StillGotShit4Brains
that i find the COD joke fitting and funny as a fan of the series.
also that there is a clear reason that you see and get to experience as to why everybody decided to live in the metro tunnels/stations.
StillGotShit4Brains
*random
Besides, Russians are hard boiled people, and this gritty setting is spectacular.
Remember, METPO 2⃣0⃣3⃣3⃣ got bad review scores originally, because people played the game like Call of Duty, only to suffocate when their Gas Mask get's blown off.
You can thank IGN for that.
But Metro 2033 will always be one of the greatest things ever created and is a shining example why you shouldn't give up faith in humanity.... Yet
Frankly, I just loved the fact that the pre war ammo was currency; having several hundred rounds of corrosive and berdan primed 7.62x54R and 7.62x39, I can assure that times really are tough in the metro when the 'milsurp' is considered the good stuff.
I would love to see an open world metro game.
Train Simulator 2014
Play the Stalker games
You are in luck. They are creating an open world metro game in the moment.
efineter I prefer Autumn Aurora 2, besides I think it's best to play the game in it's original state first time round and then mod it.
Daniel Hadlow XD
I think he already has, it was a while back though, so you might have to look through the archive a bit to find it.
Jesus. Is that what public transit is like in Australia?
It certainly is in Perth.
Yup, Yahtzee lives in Brisbane as do I (Yahtzee notice me!!). It's rather shitfull.
Steve Yuan Melbourne too
I'm surprised there was no mention of that lovely minigame you play during an espionage objective...you know what I'm talking about.
I played metro last night
nice man same
***** I have metro 2033 and last light but really haven't gotten around to finishing the series, but I loved the atmosphere of the first so much I probably will very soon
That's odd, one of my comments didn't post. I was just saying that it may be that the suggest translations box under advanced settings must be checked (or it might be something else in order to activate the feature) and I added the link to show what I was seeing upon right clicking to translate.
I'm surprised that a game that has enough to recommend isn't on Yahtzee's Best Game of 2013 list. But then again, Arkham City is also one of those cases.
The deepest station in the Moscow Metro is Park Podeby which is 87 metres below the surface. The deepest station in the St Petersburg Metro is Admiralteiskaja which is 102 metres below the surface and Arsenalna station in Kiev is 105.5 metres below the surface.
Train Puns LOL
the Moscow subway tunnels where built during the cold war and where made to work as fallout shelters also I love the book
the delay between being spotted and the alarm is great if you plan on killing little to no one..... especially if you have health packs a good set of legs and prey the e button does its job... or you know a melee only run
"...melee only run."
Mic Mule, that is the most insane thing I think somebody could do in a Metro game.
I can't imagine that it would even be possible come to think of it.
i did it for the first half of metro 2033 nearly done
Try that in the swamp section adn tell me how it went.
The wheels on the tank are glowing... very brightly
Ok its been 2 days since i watched the episode he comes up with spunkgargleweewee and now its stuck in my head
And actually today i went to gamestop and said : hey whats the latest games in spunkgargleweewee genre and after 10mins i realized what i said
Herø brine What did they give you?
an address to a gay bondage club
Herø brine
Did you go?
Hey what's the address
+Herø brine Next time on "Things That Never Happened."
I just did that tank part today and I had to look up what to do.
I play Metro in Russian it give it a more realistic feel iv'e never played it in English and probably never will although he for got to mention the ridiculous jiggle physics they give to the boobs of trippers it looks like someone sewed ballistic geletin onto their chests and told them to jump around
Took me almost an hour to figure out how to destroy the tanks. Ended up shooting one of the wheels by accident, then noticed a slight, very hard to see red glow to them.
The only thing in my opinion that lacks from it being a 10/10 game is open world. And if you think about it, its not really hard to do. You don't have to do an open world outside, you can keep it linear, that is not the focus of the game but the metro itself? The thing is made out of tunnels, all you have to do is recreate the Moscow metro which is not hard, considering they already made a lot of the paths that are actually real. Then just makes different rooms and stuff and put some quests or something and Voila! You got yourself a spritual successor to Stalker and everyone is happy.
I think devs got that planned in their next game, since this recieved pretty good reviews. I think their budget was holding them back, since they are a small team, but those graphics look amazing and the optimization is just lovely. So if they get everything together and release next game with a new charecter, open world Metro, fix the dialogues and voice acting, it would be perfect.
I think, given the size of the team and budget, Metro last lIght was the best game it could be, and even without open world (Which would be AMAZING) It gave you a lot of pathways.
Open world Metro would be terrible.. Stop trying to change good things into ones that don't fit them.
This isn't Stalker.
Even that wasn't really open world.
xSomeRandomGamer
Did you read my comment? I said an open world in the tunnels. Just like the section where you get to ride the train car thing. A bunch of tunnels you can get around and explore new stations without being pushed in and out of them.
Antoha0102 I know what Random meant and i kinda agree it wouldn't fit with the game type. However it would be amazing if they could make a open world.
sam shaw
wat
At 4:50 I just died laughing from the sign in Russian. You can see google translate gone wrong. What you wanted to say was: "Americans are dead, nobody cares". What you got was: "Americans are dead, nobody afflicts for them".
If this game turned in to a open world survival fps rpg, that would be awsome! It's like S.t.a.l.k.e.r but with almost everthing else better.
+Minh Duc Nguyen Or they could just make Stalker 2. Call of Pripyat may have been a turd, but was a step into the right direction - now they just need to do it porperly =)
+Chillermushroom That just a dream but who know. 4A Games is making an open world Metro game.
you mean Fallout 4
+Minh Duc Nguyen you mean Fallout
@@bequanma This is an old comment but STALKER 2 is back on. Apparently they, GSC, have licensed the unreal engine for it so who knows what we will get although it should run better lol.
I only just noticed the title typo. How long has that been there!?
F I V E Y E A R S
2:10 ACTUALLY
Spoiler alert by the way
The secret bunker full of cakes and free money had nothing good in it. You're led to believe that it's full of everything you might need but by who? Yourself? Yeah it's a military bunker, has to be full of stuff, right? What about people talking to you during the game? Everybody who talks about what great stuff is in the D6 bunker isn't a ranger, and doesn't actually know whats in there. Its revealed before the end if you pick up the last Notebook, that the only things in the bunker are biological weapons, not the endless amounts of food, or ammo, that people thought. This is the point that i realized too how deep the story of the game was. It hardly ever forced story down your throat, and when you looked around and learned about the world, you got a sense of how much effort was put into the story and the things that inhabit it.
2:58 "Suck on the flannel for nutrients". Is that a Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy Reference, you amazing person?
Isn't it Metro Last Light?
Yes
Hahaha, I just finished the game and I had exactly the same problem with that tank. Tried it 4 times, then read in a walkthrough what I would have been supposed to do. But after all I liked it. Great review, Yahtzee! (I know I'm late though)
LOL!!!! I died heaps !!! I didn't google it though,,, Just bought Redux for 2033,,, CAN'T FRICKIN' WAIT !!!! I think it was the better of the two. Since playing these games on 'hardcore' I now play all FPS with no aiming reticle & as little hud as the game allows,,,, immersion. Have a go at Stalker SOC with the Oblivion mod,,, Yahtzee liked Clear Sky , Shadow of Chernobyl was heaps better.
Is "last night" a joke or a typo?
Kane and Lunch 2: Dog Days
the latter.
It's a joke from when Last Light was first announced.
For some reason news chanels were announcing the game as "Metro Last Night"
This videos title is a joke but the original announcement was a typo.
I remember playing Metro and really loving it, and I'm a CoD player. The game intrigued me, and I loved the story. One of these days, I'm going to read the book it was based on. After I get through my back log of H.P. Lovecraft and Stephen King..
Why is the title Metro Last Night?
MAYBE, JUST MAYBE because the "Last Light" is a reference the last Dark One: and Night is dark :v
MAYBE, JUST MAYBE because it was a typo.
You got to turn off all the lights
Old post. But it's a reference to another video game reviewer (not sure who, probably IGN) who misspelled the title as "Last Night".
The other cities with subways aren't completely disregarded in Metro. They're mentioned occasionally. In real life, some cities don't have their subways deep enough to survive a nuclear blast but Moscow's subways were built deep enough for that.
And no one ever thinks about the people out in rural areas, which wouldn't be blast targets. Yeah, there would be radioactive fallout but there are meds for that.
its like nobody here read the books.....
there are multiple occasions where people talk about other places surviving the blasts both above ground and underground...
st petersburg being the most obvious....
besides that the writer himself in a interview said that he wouldnt mind the next game taking place in the UK subway/city or an american or french because it would be interesting to see how other cultures survived.....
:)
All the while Fallout players are vehemently adamant that no other country in the world survived the nuclear war. Because no Vault-tec.
Медвед
well you know that kinda makes sense for the fallout universe i guess..
its still fiction right
but i get what your saying zero survivors makes zero sense
fonkyman
Plus it's not at all beyond the realm of possibility that China, Russia, or any other major world power could come up with something similar to the vaults.
You'd think that since the cold war lasted from the 1950s all the way to 2077 everyone would have adequate nuclear protection by then, especially considering the technological advancements that, after all, aren't exclusive to America.
Медвед
true but like i said if the writers say its so then its so....
besides i personally feel that fallout is done...
and as far as metro goes id really like an open world rpg like the witcher and then im done with that to :P
Well that tip about the tank wheels is gonna come in handy when I buy this.
The Moscow Metro is one of the only ones developed to double as a nuclear fallout shelter.
The same can't be said about the New York Metro or the London Metro. Which is why it's assumed that everyone else is almost definitely dead.
It would probably help if people paid more attention in high school history class. If I managed to learn that here in the US, then no one else should have any excuse.
It was by my cat knocking my hand during the tank part that I actually hit the wheels.
И никто не заботится! :D
ypa!!

Cant wait for Metro3! Might replay Metro series for the 3rd time with redux version again - it is the most atmospheric game i have ever played and although the atmosphere is dark, depressing and shoot your brains out sad - game really makes you feel it as opposed to some games that point you to stuff and then tell you how you should be feeling now
Anyone ever notice how Yahtzee isn't very consistent in his reviews? He likes it when games don't show him exactly what to do, until he can complain about the lack of direction. I would go on, but this review was mainly positive so I don't have much to work with.
Except the game doesn't tell you what to do, at least not actively. It's not shoving objective markers in your face, it's leaving you to intuit the way forward.
+Peter Hanson it does actually. If you pull up the notebook the compass on it points towards where u need to be
+Draconisraa That tank battle is still BS. Every LP of Last Light I ever watched featured several deaths, until the player accidentally shot the wheels and went "oooooh, that's what I'm supposed to do - well fuck you very much, game".
Chillermushroom
oh certainly. I knew in advance what to do because of this review but i still took a couple tries because i was on a highish difficulty setting.
Draconisraa
Same here, went straight for the wheels^^ But when you're playing on Ranger Hardcore and roughly 4 out of 5 deaths are not caused by enemies killing you, but happen due to bad signposting or lacking information, then you know there's room for improvement.
Can't wait for Exodus. It may deviate from the original novel's storyline, but it looks SO DAMN GOOD!
непонятные русские слова
ya know at first his methods of reviewing, but now it is my favorite method
Uhh Yahtzee i think you messed up when naming the video
I think it's a pun.
"metro last night" AKA Met you last night
kingemocut When Last Light was announced it was mistakenly called Metro Last Night all over the internet.
DManVI ah. thanks for clarifying :)
Going to be completely pedantic here;
People could well be living in other metros, but the absence of large aerials to use would make long range radio communication near impossible. Additionally unlike most other underground systems the Moscow metro was designed to also function as fallout shelters with blast doors and closed air systems. Other such cities include either St. Petersburg or Kiev (can’t remember which) and Pyongyang.
I'd like to see a game where you actually play as a generic Nazi soldier, stomping out any sign of resistance, slaughtering enemies/civilians etc.
try the game HATRED your not a nazi but it fits what your discribing
Better yet, a WWII shooter where you play a young man in the Nazi army and see the war from their perspective. The vast majority of the Nazi's weren't evil, they were just soldiers doing their jobs under threat of they and their families being killed or thrown in camps for not supporting the Reich. Many of Hitler's generals and top brass thought he was insane as the war progressed, especially with the mass amounts of civilians he killed and his crazed policies. Hell, Rommel, one of the greatest generals ever, grew to hate Hitler in the latter part of the war.
I'm tired of the universal demonization of Germany during WWII. They were/are a proud people, put under the boot heel of Europe after WWI. Hitler brought them from nothing to the greatness they once were, which revitalized the German people. Seeing the war from the eyes of a young man and his experiences through the war, from him joining up out of pride for his country, slowly washing away after the seemingly endless fighting and the horrors he witnessed/was forced to endure due to Hitler's insanity. Be that shooting civilians prior to the involvement of the gas chambers or witnessing the horrors of the concentration camps.
Miccollo seems like something i would play
TheColorblindpony spot on.
Miccollo I would like to see this also. I am not a German but, I have seen and talked with people of the 'other' side of Germany during WW2. If you could have a choice to defect to the partisans forces, French resistance, or any other allied forces, it would make the game more interesting in multitudes of obvious reasons. or working with the Gray Market to save people because of morality conflict or just work up a retirement cushion for post war life. That would be a good learning game perhaps but, most gamer who view games as id put it 'porn' of sorts would overlook it and the media would have a turkey hunt with it.
From what I understand there is a expanded universe of novels and short stories for Metro by fans which are semi canon, the main author focuses on Russia but the EU goes anywhere from London to Rome.
The name if this vide is metro last night...
And......
I think he's making a pun.
MonkeyTardis Never has a game name in a Zero Punctuation review been anything but the exact correct name of the game. The name of this review on the Escapist site reads correctly "Last Light", so this is most definitely a typo.
Thank you Captain Obvious! No seriously thank you, cuz i sure as hell missed it.
The reason it focuses on the Moscow Metro is that the Soviet-Era constructed metro stations were built to act as a fallout shelter should the Cold War heat up, also the author canonised fanfiction so if you want you probably would be able to find stories about other Metros (Including the Clockwork Orange for some reason)
'various russian words'
Well we do know people in london survived. As our patented Underground railroad service is so iconic it might as well be a landmark.
It's last light
Not quite, it was build as a transport system. During WW2 it began to see use as air raid shelters and during the Cold War they built the sealed doors so the stations would function as fallout shelters. The Metro is quite a bit older than nuclear weapons...
Also, the Metro-universe does describe quite a few other metros as well, i.e. St. Petersburg, Kiev and even England as those had similar functions.
“And then there are the Nazis, who are bad because they’re Nazis, and they literally call themselves Nazis, now that’s not trying very hard, is it?”
To be fair, given the state of things NOW
Stuff like the lol off the rails is why I love this show
the book was amazing, but the video game did a TERRIBLE job at capturing the creepy atmosphere of the book
When I first came up against bullet proof crabs I was creeped out
mm i didn't care, read the book and you will be so mad that they ruined the game
LateNightCommsGaming what are you talking about? the game was awesome sure it wasnt like the book but the games atmosphere was displayed in your mind not in front of you at all times, you had to think about what was going on which can be creepy itself its not like out last where theres blood everywhere with people chasing you, metro was about the aftermath of a bombing where everywhere on the surface is torn apart with terrifying mutants everywhere and that already is creepy thought when you think about it.
marky mark im not trying to argue man :/ but the game's atmosphere was the worst part, people had computers for crying out loud, rooms, guitars, vodka! in the book people had to sleep in tents, the ONLY drink there was is this awful tasting "Mushroom Tea" there was no power aside from fires and because of the fires and all the smoke, lung cancer was a common thing, there were also no "Nosalis" or whatever in the tunnels. The book was a perfect description of atmosphere, the game had people singing, strippers, drinking Vodka, handing guns around like they grew on trees.. Oh yeah, and PLENTY of mutants in the tunnels for your Generic FPS monster needs, :/ the game was awful in my opinion. It failed to capture what made the book so amazing
LateNightCommsGaming ok well i wont argue everyone has a oppinion
The only problem I had with the tank was that I didn't realise I had to use the sniper rifle provided instead of the rifle I happened to have on me at the time.
