One of the best games I ever played...

[Deaf Mad Hatter]

Seriously, the title says it all. Metro 2033 is one of the best game I ever played, especially in the post apyacopse section game, far better than Fallout series, and better than these zombies games including dead island, dead raising and loads of games.

This game includes emotion, desperation, powerful characters and the methods of survival within the game is brilliant. Some points in the game i shat my pants and fought so difficult enemies.

But what is better than these? The storyline. It just pulls you in. It makes you to want to know what happened after, one thing after other, you'd shout no! or grunts and shouts as you fight agianst strong enemies (Libarians or demons anyone?) and sort of celebrates when you solved a mistery or a difficult objection.

The ending in metro 2033 was so exciting!, depsite that it could be better but no spoilers, you have to finish it first before Metro Last Light! Can't wait for the mistery to come with it.

Man, finished the game yesterday, and what a really good game it is. It's a hard game, never seen a bug in the game, stealth kinda of works if you manage to go full stealth, and man, the parts when your friends says to you find a way around or they are dead leaving you alone with the mutants or bad people, never ♥♥♥♥♥♥ myself so much. This game is 10/10.

Gonna have to agree with you. In the Linear Shooter genre, I'm going to have to say I enjoyed this game more than Half Life 2.

It's not that it's an objectively better game than HL2; it's just that while I love a good resistance story, post-apocalyptic stories speak to the deepest part of me. I love the desperation, the bleak atmosphere, the hopeless characters. I love it when a post-apocalyptic world is properly realized in the dialog, the humor, and the environment.

I loved Metro 2033 from beginning to end.

Now that the Mass Effect franchise has been removed from the list, STALKER: Call of Pripyat is my favorite game of all time followed by Metro 2033 and then STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl.

Personally I didn't like Fallout 3. It was a pretender to the genre, never once achieving what makes the genre so appealing to me.

The first game is called Metro 2033, and the second game is called Metro Last Light. It's story has been co-written by the author of Metro 2033 and is a sequel to 2033.

If you like that then you should play STALKER series since the game makes a reference to the stalker series with the "Roadside picnic" in the library. Plus the next game Metro Last Light is comming out next month on the 13th. But seriously consider getting STALKER

Agreed. I haven't seen a bug whilst ran it on ultra settings. The environment is just perfect. It's not the air that is dangerous when you're outside. It's how much filter you have when forced to go on the surface.

I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ myself just before going in the library. I jumped into a sewer pipe but when i looked up before completely inside the pipe, I saw a movement of a demon on a roof spreading its wings. So because of that. I quickly looked up out of the hole wondering if i saw was what i thought i saw but instead of looking at the sky out of the hole, the head of the demon flow in and was inches from my face i shouted before shooting with my shotgun at its face.

Cos of that shouting moment, my girlfriend ran in holding my batball bat, thinking I was attacked lol

However paranoia can take over you in this game. You'd think, oh would i have enough bullets for what possiblity stand ahead? Will I have enough filter?

Characters in this game are entertaining and apparently there are about three different endings for this game. Time for round two i reckon.

Agreed with Fallout. It feels like some sort of a mockery out of the all games such as Metro, STALKER, etc. It's a cartoon verison for those genre as best as it could be accutely described.

I loved Mass Effect 1 and 2, but admittly, I haven't got round to play mass effect 3 despite having it on the shelf. I played Half Life 1 and it is a really good game but I don't understand why but I just can't get clicked into it. I get bored with it after a while.

Although in the entire game, I can't help but wonder what happened to the Hunter. Did he die? Did he just happen to be unable to turn back? I hope that he will be still alive in Metro Last Light, forthcoming with praise for his bravery and duty to save the humanity from the end of the days.

In support to the evidence to what i mentioned on the pervious comment on the different endings. There are two endings are possible, depending on choices the player makes throughout the game. In the normal/bad ending, Artyom allows the missiles to fire, destroying the Dark Ones. The alternate/good ending gives Artyom the choice to destroy the laser guidance device, citing a last-minute realization that the Dark Ones were actually attempting to make peaceful contact through the hallucinations.

I never thought that the dark ones tried to make peaceful contact... When they tried to kill the whole metro of humans! lol I'll give it another shot for certain.

You might wanna try getting both of the endings :D. And please, don't ♥♥♥♥ with Fallout series, finish the game then rate it... or add some mods. Still, Metro-Stalker-Fallout greatest trio ever, it's so hard choosing a better one. I have faith in Deep Silver's Last light or Vostok Games's Survivarium after all that happened. Hell, even Stalker Online is not that bad.

Do you realise that there is three different endings?

Although true, there is a small element of free-roam but do not forget that this story came from a book that was written about 10 years ago. It was not written for the game thus making it to look like a linear game but it was meant to be as it was entirely copied from the book.

Do your research before making judgements of it.

I felt there was plenty of things to do in the game, you can make choices to save or leave people behind to die or be selfish and watch your own ass. Personally, I would replay it all over and over if I had the time.

#Edit# Also you said that it was too freaking short? I think you'll find that something like COD is twice shorter than Metro. It was meant to play with passion, to embrace it. Not finish it as soon as you can to see how long you can finish it.

Just finished it on easy. I know I didn't get the true Metro combat expireanse at that setting. I don't like games giving me stress. That said, everything the OP said is dead on.
