4A: Metro 2033 Is Not Too Difficult

4A Games has said that recent previews of Metro 2033 do not accurately reflect the difficulty of the game.

In a recent tweet, the developer stated that the game has undergone changes since the previews and that the difficulty and ammo levels are less of issue.

I don't know if I'm happy about this or not. Annoying as scavenging is, I do love the sense of tension you get when you have to do it.

AndyA5198d ago

Same guys that did the first STALKER, right? That was a pretty punishing game at times too, as was Clear Sky. Remember being robbed of all of my armour/weapons at one point without being able to do anything about it.

Fyzzu5198d ago

Different developer, but yeah, think it's made up of some of the same guys. And good point - making sure it's not frustrating or unfairly hard is important, I suppose.

Leord5198d ago

Sometimes nerfs are good, sometimes bad.

Maticus5198d ago

The ammo issue is massive, I really hope that's been sorted.

AndyA5198d ago

It's supposed to be a game about survival, though. Isn't ammo scavenging part of that?

Chubear5197d ago

I'm hoping the modes above normal difficulty will be allowed to be as the game was meant to be. Sure give casuals what they want to make sure your game sells but give the gamers that like challenge in their games good attention too.

Johandevries5198d ago

game has got mainstreamed, thanks to the 360.

belowradar5198d ago

I agree about having a limited amount of ammo makes you pay attention to what you're doing and your surroundings but from what I read of an event that was held for Metro that the reviewers were getting stuck at the same spots because there just wasn't enough ammo and enemies kept respawning.
There shouldn't be infinite ammo either. But somewhere in between. I was looking forward to this game but until I see some definitive reviews across the board I'm skeptical on what they've actually fixed.

Metro Video Game Series: A Comprehensive History

The Metro video game series started with a humble b-list title, before building a strong fanbase and becoming a pioneer in the industry.

Never got into Exodus, but 2033 was excellent.

kevco3388d ago

Yeah, Exodus just didn't grab me either, sadly.

I absolutely loved 2033 and Last Light, however. Played them both on 360 and then again with the remasters!

anast88d ago

I just started it and it is already miles better than the first 2 which are dated.

Has anyone here played it? It looks interesting but I'm not sold on it yet.

jjb19811000d ago

It has an actual story tied to your actions. The environments are immersive and I believe they just added DLSS. The devs are VERY active in the Steam community. The game has been released past the 1.0 version. There are some crafting mechanics and base building similar to Fallout 4. I like the voice acting and world building. You run missions for supplies, recruiting characters and progressing the story.. I've been playing since early access and the game has come a LONG way. I can't make any recommendations for any console versions because I don't know how those run.

camel_toad999d ago

Ok thanks all for the info and sales pitch. I'm going to get it after hearing this. And it's also nice to hear it has DLSS. One of the best advancements to come along in quite a while.

MadLad1000d ago (Edited 1000d ago )

I supported it via Early Access, but just played a bit before to get a feel for it.
Just officially started it last night, and I'm having a great time with it.

JsonHenry999d ago

Its a fantastic game. The reviewer is right. If it you like those other two games you'll probably like this one too.

GhostScholar1000d ago

I'm sold on it big time. I love the metro games and to me this is very much in that wheelhouse. It was very impressive technically as well.

EvertonFC1000d ago

Looking fwd to it, I thinks it's November for ps5 release so gonna wait 😊

THEzRude1000d ago

Can whole heartedly recommend.
