    It’s not an exaggeration to claim that video games have a penchant for life in post-apocalyptic America. From the ghastly realism of The Last of Us, to the tongue-in-cheek absurdity of Rage, the industry is filled to the brim with experiences that explore what happens to the land of the free after social order collapses. In addition, games like Frostpunk, Mad Max, and a few others have featured memorable post-apocalyptic scenarios in the Anglosphere. Yet when it comes to the rest of the globe, the pickings are often slim.
    4A Games’ Metro franchise is an exception to this. A survival-oriented first-person shooter series based on Dmitry Glukhovsky’s novels of the same name, the games explore the harshness of life in Moscow after the fires of nuclear war force its inhabitants to take refuge in its metro. And it does so with one of the more hardcore set of mechanics to grace its genre.
    For perhaps this reason, a lack of marketing, and a not-insignificant amount of technical issues that afflicted its first wave of releases, the Metro series never managed to become as beloved as some of its peers. Yet through sheer force of will, it grew into a mainstay in the first person shooter genre, thanks to the tireless work of 4A Games, and the support of its passionate fan base.
    But in order to fully appreciate what the series has to offer, one must first go back to the past. To the mid-2000s, when 4A’s founders had yet to leave their original outfit, and Glukhovsky’s first novel had only just been published in its home country.
    This is the history of Metro 2033.
    The History of Metro Part 1.

    Hey everyone, as there seems to be some confusion as to how we're approaching our coverage of this series, we're happy to share that we'll be following up this episode with videos about Last Light, Redux and, inevitably, Exodus as well. That's all! For now, we hope you'll enjoy our video about Metro 2033. :)

      Sapkowski was openly offered royalties for use of his subject matter, but knew nothing about video games and their popularity outside of Poland, and took an absurdly small, one time payment check instead.
      To be fair, gaming was an underground kind of thing up until just 10-15 years ago. Mostly bootleg copies of PC games were sold at flea markets. Poland was still climbing out of decades of Soviet control.
      Legally, CDPR didn’t have to give him a dime, but rumors are that they settled out of court. Honestly, Sapkowski has sold WAY MORE books because of the video game, so either way it was a good move. Now the Netflix Witcher series is on the way also.

      He is a world reporter for RT. And the book is basically a social commentary. Who better to comment on society than people who literally grew up in the shadow of Chernobyl. Seeing as the book was an experiment released for free, I think he saw 4A as a way to help explore ideas.

      If they keep attacking consumers for voicing displeasure at sudden bussiness decisions at the player base's cost, that video might just come sooner than later. Let's hope it won't involve them shooting themselves on the foot and cutting both feet to stop it happening again, i.e. telling people not to buy their games on PC and then never launching on PC again for players doing just that.

    Metro 2033 is one of my favourite games. Never had the same feeling playing other games, including Last Light. Metro 2033 immersed me in the situation the protagonist lives in, the cramped stations where people have markets, livestock, workshops, homes, its somewhat depressing. I liked a lot that Artyom is like an actual person, different from other protagonists in games where they dont show opinions, feelings, no family, etc., Artyom just wants to save his home, and it makes the game feel like a movie youre playing on instead of watching. And i found the story very interesting, at first youre desperate to help the station, later youre curious to know what are those strange humanoids with psychic powers, and why are they doing what they are doing.
    I never thought that the combat was bad as this video says, what i liked is that you had to manage every resource you had, you couldnt just go buying those shiny weapons vendors had, you needed ammo, first aid kits, filters for the mask, because if you didnt have one of those items you were screwed, and you had to loot everything and everyone, because you were always out of ammo or your mask was damaged in combat or something like that, it truly felt like an underdog scavenger life, everyday just trying to get by with what you had, not like other games where everything is handed to you, when you had to shoot pre war bullets, it felt so bad because you were literally shooting your money and you were gonna need it later on. Amazing game, wish the other games had the same idea, Last Light felt more like a conventional FPS honestly.

      2033 really tricked you into feeling that what you did mattered through atmosphere even if it was as linear as it gets. It was a good linear game, could it have been better if it was less linear? It's possible, but it was an excellent linear game.

      Imo, Last Light is better than 2033. This is coming from someone who played the redux versions in 2019 for the first time. 2033 did not age well so I'm not sure how I would have felt back in 2010. But Last Light definitely plays better and I liked the story more.

      @@DV-ou1yu the original version is a lot different than the Redux and LL. It's also a lot more janky. LL made the mechanics slightly less janky, but also made things like stealth overly simplified. The original didn't have the perfect stealth system, but I liked it for being more tough and not something you can cheese through. At the same time, the throwing knife hitbox was so inconsistent that it made killing armored enemies a strong gamble. The enemies in LL are downright braindead during stealth, and it makes me sad that 4A couldn't find a middle ground

When I played back i noticed a few changes on Metro 2033 like Miller doesn't use an Kalasch anymore but is using the electric bolt rifle now and other stuff. I read all the books and was very happy when Metro Redux was release. I'm very excited for Metro Exodus.

      It is the first series that comes to mind when I think of the viability of linear singleplayer in modern gaming. I know the latest one had some open world elements, but still I believe there is narrative advantage to linear gaming that Metro really makes use of. The story holds tension better. Other games be like "Oh shit Ciri is missing gotta find her! Or, dragons are attacking out of nowhere gotta check it out!" .. and then the plot has to work with the fact that the player may have just wandered off and done side quests till level 30, so the momentum completely resets every time you move between story missions.

      Isn't Metro 2033 a weirdly "politically correct" game?
      The plot & theme is about how "If it's hostile, kill it" is as terrible a philosophy as it is unquestioned, you save the metro only by expanding your understanding, & the only named woman robs your dumb ass.
      That's seems quite SJW to me?

    • @rahilmohan4494
      @rahilmohan4494 Před 5 lety +42

      @@Proctor_Conley I don't see how Metro is 'politically correct' when it has one of the most natural player input based plot progressions. Sure you can run and gun each and every level but doing so will rob you of the experience of overhearing dialogue which builds the world and story. For example, in a particular level near the early portion of the first game, there is a squad leader for the Communist faction who spouts Marxist principles to motivate his team. One of the members then asks what was his philosophy on the mutants and proceeds to state that not even Marx could feed himself with ideas alone.
      A minor spoiler but if you refrain from gunning down humans and discover a set number of 'secrets', you get a more in depth idea of the overall conundrum.

      By USA standards, it's for SJW cucks.
      You do drugs, give charity, respect ghost, & you'll get a ending where everyone lives happily ever after because you were sensitive.
      Hell, on the other side, the Redux version goes so far as to literally change dialogue to actually be Politically Correct to the Russian Government.

      @@Proctor_Conley Throughout the games, we get Artyom's clear distaste for Communism, politics and how innocent people are forced to fight for causes they don't believe in.That's a good message.
      I don't get what you mean by 'respecting ghosts' being SJW fodder when it's clearly set up as a supernatural occurrence to enhance the eerie nature of the metro. Nothing more or nothing less. This also applies to the 'positve' ending of the game which is more of a fantasy than anything else because it's not canon. It was a way to expand upon the narrative of the first game because at that time, no one knew how successful the game series would be. It was a way to develop the dark ones into more ambiguous characters, because on one hand, their very existence leads to madness in the minds of men, and on the other hand, they genuinely wanted to interact with humanity.
      Moreover, how come changing the references to the Russian federation from the Soviet Union make it more politically correct for Russia ?
