Best game EVER made? Opinion poll?

[mika]

Well at least in my opinion I think Last-Light has every ingredient to be called the best and most immersive game to date;.... Going back to the original Metro 2033,Last light took what was broken and came-up something truly unique and to me at least this is so far the best game Ive EVER played!.......

I wont count Metro 2033 Redux it was made after last light so this one I would say sits in 2nd place for me and a very close tie with Last-Light as a matter of fact, If there is going to be another chapter in the Metro series all I can say to this is I hope they continue in the same tradition and fashion as they did so far.

I want to hear what you guys think?Would you change anything about last-Light? If so why?

I don't know about best ever, personally lol--but I'm the type of person who can never just nail down ONE favorite thing, I always have to make lists of my favorite games, books, movies, lol.

However, Metro: Last Light is indeed one of my favorite games, and Metro 2033 is one of my favorite books. When I finished Metro 2033 I just closed the book and was like "holy shιt." lol.

I respect and thank Dmitry Glukhovsky for developing the Metro universe. He started writing Metro 2033 when he was 18, and since I loved it, he serves as a sort of inspiration for me as I am a "young" writer (well I'm in college, I'm not "young" per sey but compared to most writers I suppose)

Well iam glad to actually hear input from someone that has some actuall experience with the Metro series ( books and all ) I havent had a chance to finish the Novel that came with Last light but Iam very into it no doubt!....

I was very impressed ever since I played the original Metro 2033-Just something about the game that gripped me to it like no other was ever able too! I still play all 3 Metros on a regular basis lol. It might seem strange to some people but I can NEVER get bored playing these games for some reason. I do wish however that from time to time we would receive some new content or new stages-whatever you wanna call it.

Crap, I accientally deleted my post...

Well long story short, one thing that I appreciate a lot is that Glukhovsky may have taken a bit of inspiration from Plato, regarding the metro universe and Artyom. It's possible not, and either way is fine, but I can at least see some parallels. If you were to read Plato's dialogues Republic and Phaedo, there are a couple of analogies which fit very well. One is about coming out of 'the cave' and trying to see the sun/light (coming out of the metro and shielding your eyes from the sun but then you can look around), and the other is about how a fish for instance would see the surface of the water as the sky, and the sky (when he pokes his head out shortly) as the heavens. The idea is that while we physically are on the surface, the sky's the sky, and the heavens are the heavens, mentally we may actually be a level down, kind of like the fish, unless we try to strive for wisdom, etc. In the cave analogy, there is one man who is able to see what the actual truth is as opposed to the images people see down in the cave--a bit like stalkers or Artyom in a sense.

But the Republic is 9 books/chapters long, and Phaedo is still a Platonic dialogue, so you might not want to bother reading them just to see some similarities to a video game lol!

Ive never heard of Plato to be honest until you just mentioned him or (her) whatever lol. There is some kind of how do I say this without sounding like a Terd...... I can almost relate to the situation they are in Inside the Metro! As Artyom said there was comfort in its routines, In seeing the same people everyday-It was our home!

I can see something like this happening (possibly) one day! A nuclear war breaks out which You have to admit in todays world is Very possible!!!......Minus the Tunnel-trash but we can replace them with HillBillys if ud like? (joke) other then the Monsters I can see a Metro type of situation in the very near future to be honest. Of course I dont want it to happen I have 2 children that I love more then anything in this world, but a part of me still has the Boy mantality and a wild imaganation. Thats why I love the Metro as much as I do lol.


I will do some more research on Plato, thanks for sharing that with me btw.

I sure as hell hope 4A is working another chapter! I have a feeling they are and I read somone claming to be working on the next metro and i cannot wait to be honest! In the mean time I have picked-up Stalker call of pripyat and modded it using the Misery mod.....I must say this game is just beyond Kick ass!!! I just wish it wasnt so damm hard lol- I think its the same guys who made Stalker went on to make the Metro as well, theres alot of similaritys. Have you played any of the Stalker games? Pretty sure you have but figured id ask anyway.

[Lonesome 77]

Actually I haven't played STALKER. I have heard of it though.

Whats a good Benchmark for my Gtx 770 ? I tried Heaven 4.0 and iam scoring close to 1200 points- 43.5 Fps @ 1920x1080 sound about right to you guys>?

Iam curious Back in the day I use to run a program called FurMark to test my Radeon 6970 crossfire set-up, it was really useful for Radeon cards but Nvidia always had some kind of problem running this app for some reason.Some even called it a Power-Virus lol.Thoughts?

Beat the game once, uninstalled and never came back to it. Not that I thought it was a bad game, just that, what more is there to do really after you complete the story? Not that every game out there needs a multiplayer, but for me the lack of one just has me going back to Planetside 2. Even Don't Starve's single player has enough variation for me to come back for multiple playthroughs.

Good game, I'd say so. Best game ever made, definitely not in my opinion. There's enough to get you through the story, but you could only replay the story so many times before it gets dull.

[mika]

Not so much in my case- You have Ranger mode, Ranger hardcore, Survival,Spartan ect......But the a point you are correct it can get boring sometimes so I usually just change things up and what not, stealth kills, Unlock all achivments ( not that I have ) but just saying.....Theres Alot to do in the Metro world you just need some imagination and a little bit of patience-The result what awaits you is a immersive and awsome looking world with lots of possibilitys. At least thats the way I see it anyway.

Its still good to hear feedBack regardless if its negative.Thanks/Nz

Unless this one time you played through you did it on Ranger Hardcore mode, then I'm afraid you're quite narrow about it. If you did it on say normal, then you could try Ranger and Ranger Hardcore, try using the least amount of stealth you can, try going all stealth if you haven't before, and of course no matter what you did the first time around, you could only choose one option in any given choice; so playing through at least once more allows you to do the other. And I'm still finding new things on a 3rd playthrough here (on Ranger Hardcore)...

And then there's the extra missions, including Kshatriya.

I only played the game for the story, since I heard it was good, and I enjoyed it. Replaying the same story in different difficulites I don't much care for, as despite the hard work I'd put into surviving, the results will be the same as if I were playing on any other difficulty. Checking the wiki I don't find you receive any special reward for beating the game on harder difficulties, so there's not really any incentive for me to try.

Well okay then.

How do I answer this without being to negative towards other games?.......Example- Call of duty series Multi-player.I see no point of playing multi-player beacause its always the same thing over and over- You kill someone, then someone kills you! Pete? Repeat!......

To me The Metro has many many wondeful things to see- Cool looking scenery, Awsome landscape, Monsters, a couple hot chicks here and there and so forth. Theres LOTS to see in the Metro we just have a diffrent opinion on whats interesting and whats not lol/.

[Collin]

Exactly XD, that's why you put, "Opinion poll," in the title to begin with right? Unless this is a praise only thread.
