Are all the quests pointless?

[Baffman]

So far all the quests I completed, even the main story ones, feel absolutely pointless. The quests themselves are not that bad, each part of the story is somewhat interesting. I am talking about the ending. The conclusion of every single quest feels like it has no meaning, it's really shallow and it doesn't take in cosideration all the things you discovered during the investigation. There is no real consequence for your actions. Sometimes I want to say things to the NPCs but there is no dialogue option for the things I want to say. It's like someone cut the budget for the game and they had to rush the quests development leaving them unfinished.
This is the thing that disappointed me the most. I can look past the occasional stuttering, the glitches, the NPCs in the streets getting stuck, the copy and paste interiors, but not shallow quests.
I am not that far in the game, I really hope not all quests are like this.

Um.... why are you writing this on steam and not say, reddit or... say, the PS or Xbox forums? what with the game not being released on steam and all that?
Ya know, just a friendly advice.

Yeah i've played it for a while now and am really starting to get the same vibe. Doesn't seem like you actually get much of anything for completing them. Bit of a letdown.

Gee maybe he wants to use this forum because its where most people who want to talk about the PC version go...

[anaphylactic god]

thats becouse devs were to insecure to release game as it is. Maybe they were afraid people would say its too short and dont worth the money ?
80% of all the quests is a shameless time waster with no plot.
you need to find proffesor ? first help to fin out who poisoned the fish to find source inside a cult, help him get out of town but to do so help old carpenter dude and so on and so on.
you just run around like goody two shoes helping random people

But the game isn't released on this platform, not is it confirmed to be. The Devs mention that they MIGHT after the year of exclusivity decide to possibly release it on steam, maybe.

Kinda like me saying I might decide to pay for a service later, maybe, if I feel like it, after all the publicity and first-year marketing has been used to it's fullest.

It's scummy as hell that the devs for this game are allowed to have a discussions forum open for their exclusive EGS game that is not confirmed for a release here on steam.

That's why there's something like Reddit to go to instead since that is an unaffiliated forum. Or ask the same questions on the PS forums or Xbox forums since the game is released there and thus holds players that have played the game.

Well alot of people prefer the steam forums because they are very user friendly and extremely populated. Sure you could use reddit but why bother when we have a forum right here where we chat with our friends and play games? Also why the hell would you go to a PS or Xbox forum for help with issues in a PC game?
Either way people are going to continue to ask questions and discuss the game here so why are you so determined to get people to move somewhere else? Do you do this on the Metro Exodus steam forum as well?

Then they can use the steam forums when the game is confirmed for release ON STEAM.
What, should I say I prefer Chinese food, and get it delivered to an Italian Restaurant?

Well you'd use the PS or Xbox forums cuz the game is also released on those platforms.

I am so determined because the devs (or more like the publisher) of this game did a scumbag move a few weeks before release and just skipped town to go get a bribe from EGS, and then had the gall to post a News post about why they did it and inside that news statement they specifically mention that the game isn't even officially announced for a Steam Release anymore.
THAT'S why I do this. Because this dev had the gall to write such a scummy-dripping excuse for the sudden 2020-maybe-perhaps-we-don't-know-yet statement.

And no, I have not done this on the Metro Exodus game because this game was what made me wanna keep pointing out that people should take their gametalks about EGS exclusive games to other, much more appropriate forums.
And since the game was a buggy mess on release just made it a much more appealing target to begin from.

All the quests are like this. It's cheap padding. I posted a review earlier of the game, since I finished it.

Since Epic Store has no forums I feel free to write anywhere I want. This game has a steam page and steam forums, so why can't I use them? If they delete them because the game is not releasing on steam anymore, fine. I'm not even complaining about the Epic exclusivity, I wrote here just because I'm used to and I know that a lot of people write here also. I rarely use reddit and I never used PS or Xbox forums .

That's a shame. I was really hoping for a better narrative and meaningful choices...this is something that they can't fix with a patch.
The investigation part is kinda fun though, even if it gets repetitive after a while.
