metro 2033 review

they say its badly optimized, and it seems just like a lesser version of stalker. LINK

Oh, that review praises the combat of Half-Life 2 and bashes the combat of Stalker?

It aknowledges it's based on a book and then says it copies the game worlds of Fallout 3 and BioShock?

At least it got a good score and it praised it a lot, but still. It's a bad article.

I just noticed that they took off points for "No Multiplayer". Are you kidding me? Those kinds of reviewers that take off points for no multiplayer I find uncredible.

I knew it wouldn't be GREAT. As soon as I saw that it was selling for $10 less than normal prices, I could already tell.orb_03_2006

Im glad this game doesnt have MP, basically all FPS games have an online mp and 9/10 its not worth playing

I still have it pre-ordered Im looking forward to it but the more I read about it the more I feel regret, from everything I have read this is what I have:

Pros:

- Very atmospheric

- Lengthy game with great twists in story

- In depth back story

Cons:

- Poorly optimized

- Buggy and needs a patch

- Poor gun play

hopefully it gets patched and is playable by release, fingers crossed.

"I can't stand it when critics dock points because doesn't have multiplayer, co-op, whatever the hell it is that they think every game under the sun needs to have. Just rate it based on what it is, not docking points because it isn't something else."

the first comment of that review was perfect and summed up what i thought. also the reviewer is an idiot, just because he doesnt like STALKER's gameplay doesnt mean its bad, he just has no patience for it

The reviewer is saying that the PC version is extremely un-optimized. How is that not helpful? Look at what they say about the 360 version - that it's extremely polished. That tells me a lot, so I'm not quite certain how that's 'not useful'. It is extremely useful - no way would I put a pre-order on this. It's got turkey written all over it.

The reviewer attacked Stalker's gunplay while praising HL2's. Therefore he's an idiot.

And you must be blind - either that, or you didn't play the same Stalker I did.

It was not uncommon for me in Stalker to unload an entire clip while standing virtually at point blank range, only to watch the guy I was shooting at stumble backwards, and then shoot me dead almost right away.

It amazes me that people would defend that crap. Or people will say: huh, that never happened to me? That's just absurd. The weapon mechanics in Stalker were some of the worst I've ever seen in any game, ever.

I know I hate this as well. Then it seems like devs start adding features in that are not needed just to get high review scores, but it ends up ruining the game. RE5 should not have had co-op for example.

I want to check out the GS or IGN review first before I form an opinion. chandu83

lmao, you want another guy's opinion so that you can form yours?

both are pretty crap tbf but id say hl2's was better. i loved stalker but felt the gunplay was its weak point

That particular incident never happened. What did happen to me a few times in the end was when I reload a game, an enemy would stand right in front of me and kill me in an instant. chandu83

$10 less? Am I crazy or is it more like $30 more? Is it priced differently in different countries.... even the digital copy? I'm in New Zealand.

Have you seen the rediculous system requirements?

Optimum Requirements:

• Processor: Core i7 CPU
• Memory: 8GB RAM or higher
• Graphics: NVIDIA DirectX 11 compliant graphics card (GeForce GTX 480 and 470)
• DirectX®: DirectX 11

LOL.

This game is dead in the water.

Crysis was the new benchmark for graphics. Metro 2033 looks like a STALKER clone with visuals that hardly seem top-of-the-line.

It makes perfect sense to me why some would be angry at the system requirements if they want the best experience possible.

[QUOTE="-Unreal-"] Sorry, I guess I overreacted. 8GB of RAM and a core i7 CPU is perfectly reasonable for maxing out an utterly garbage engine.millerlight89

Like your comment, mines is also sarcastic since I already know you've made up your mind anyway.
