38 things i hate about this p.o.s. game

[melodicmizery]

1. constant fear of messing up 3 different levels of saving 3 different people. not to mention the slowness of each level if you do mess up.

2. the speed constantly being throttled

3. slow boats that make you want to jump out and drown yourself

4. sluggish weapon controls, you are better off running up to people and punching them in their face

5. getting anxiety from hearing the breathing when you have to wear a mask as if your character is dying.

6. not knowing who you can shoot or punch out for moral points

7. moral points in general, they need to get rid of this already. its ruined 3 games

8. boring long dialogs. you leave the room and make food and come back and they are still yapping.

9. dialogs being longer then levels

10. trying to be stealth on a game you wish had no stealth

11. running out of stamina in a open world every 5 steps

12. feeling like you ran out of stamina, but your really just caught on the environment and arent moving correctly

13. noticing the great graphics and thinking this game aint that bad, but then realizing yes the game does suck and they wasted their time on graphics and you feel sorry for the art department

14. lack of enemies to kill for long periods of time, then all of a sudden you are able to kill a bunch, and then you dont see anymore enemies for what seems like hours.

15. not knowing where to go in a room and having to find a youtube video multiple times to get out of a sawmill or bridge area

16. missing a collectable and having to take a hour to replay back to its location because once again the throttling of EVERYTHING!!!

17. guides that you question if they are even correct guides and then worry your going to mess something up.

18. a compass on your wrist that is useless, and a map thats kind of useless but not as useless as the compass

19. driving a vehicle with a windshield so dirty you cant see whats in front of you

20. constant opening of a map while driving because you cant see where your driving, and then the map glitches your screen and you can pretty much only see the roof.

21. ridiculous load times

22. dying and waiting for the load time

23. not having multiple manual save slots

24. dying from a enemy because your trying to figure out the awful weapon layout

25. googling how to take off night vision or other things that should be easier to figure out

26. walking through a cavern of spider webs yet your lighter doesnt work on 75% of them

27. not knowing what the hell is really going on half the time

28. ranger mode without the disc

29. missing the majority of things you shoot at

30. hating the long animated scenes your forced to listen to and wishing you could play through them, but then the scenes you can play through you wish were animated scenes

31. not knowing you can take your backpack off and craft things until after the game

32. completing the last level and realizing you killed a gorilla and have to painstakingly play it again

33. slow reload times on guns even if they are upgraded.

34. missing a postcard at the end of the level

35. doing a playthrough for fun and ignoring the trophy guide, only to wish you never did that

36. having to replay the entire level just to have tea with the idiot at the end

37. the unrealism that your girlfriend in the game is pretty much the only woman around a bunch of single men during a apocalypse and shes not cheating or they arent flirting. even if her dad is the commander he has metal stub legs. they could just sweep him like karate kid and take over his position if they wanted to. 

38. the nerds who complain about # 37

You sound like a complete moron, who cannot value good games that try to actually tell a story and deliver more than just a 0815 shooter.
Although I have to agree about the technical arguments, the rest of them are ridiculous. I you wanna rush a game then go play Call of Duty!

[Cobby]

Sounds like most of your troubles are with trophy related elements.. Rather than the game itself... 

 

And thinking a game with good graphics makes it good? How old are you? 7?

 

I would like to say I don't like this game either and think it's pretty crap, apart from the final level and the Two Colonels DLC. But if you're gonna hate on a game, come up with actual arguments, not crap, the same point rewritten 3 different ways or include the tediousness of trophies.. The trophies having nothing to do with the game, you choose to go for the trophies, no one makes you.

So...you’d recommend this game?

[steel6burgh]

I agree with the guy the game is tedious and boring, especially so if you're a trophy hunter having too not miss anything.  I've been putting off the dlc because of all the misables and having to do everything just so to complete it.  The developers of games that have errand quests and have to follow a guide to get certain outcomes lack creativity imo. The punishment for not following a guide is replaying missions or worse possibly the whole game only to sit through lengthy restrictive gameplay that can't be skipped so you can be bored to death all over again.  You literally have to follow like 5 different guides to not miss anything in Sam's story.   

[AJ_Radio]

Half of the 38 things listed in the OP are complete bullshit. If you don't like the moral point system and don't like the survival horror aspect (getting anxiety from hearing the breathing when you have to wear a mask as if your character is dying), you are playing the wrong game.

 

This game may be a lot of things plaguing modern AAA games these days but @melodicmizery's post is basically like saying I hate Assassins Creed because the hood outfit looks stupid and I can't assassinate a target because I'd rather not have stealth.

 

I'll likely pick up Exodus... at some point. Enjoyed the two Metro games I finished a couple years back, so I'm hoping this one will deliver at least somewhat.

[Crispy_Oglop]

I personally didn't find it boring and alot of the points mentioned by the OP seem to be either annoyances towards acquiring the trophies or incorrectly expecting it to be a fast paced twitchy shooter with a constant stream of enemies to kill. I agree that the game is built on quite a few complexities which make it trickier than most to get all the trophies, but in all honesty, after 3 games in the series now, all running in the same way, I would have thought that you'd have gone into this knowing what to expect. Not intending to shoot down the OP opinions on show here, I just think that if you already didn't enjoy the previous games, you kinda have to accept that the things that personally frustrated you would have probably moved over into the latest entry.

[tjoe1bkhjtqxm]

you don't like it don't play it lal

[dieselmanchild]

You sold me. Buying it now.

[BadRep24]

1. There is a solution to that: Backup saves within the Volga, Caspian, and Taiga chapter. It's not that hard, brother. I messed up during Damir and re-do the game from scratch, but guess what? I've used backup saves for all 3 chapters.

5. Uh, that's the point of survival horror, right?

6. There is a link to that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5k88YlA_R8c

17. I rely on not just worded guides, but video guides, as well. Problem solved!

18. How is the compass on both your wrist and within your map useless? They, at least, always point at your main objective, no matter what.

23. I agree with that one, however, as Metro Exodus's manual save is non-existent. Quick saves are your only friend (sans Ranger Hardcore).

32. Reader mode in your first playthrough is the solution.

It's been out over a year I'd say go for it.

[Conor]

I don't want to help dogpile on you, but quite a lot of these complaints are really more "you" problems rather than faults with the game. Perhaps just accept that the game isn't for you and move on. It's why I never play sports games but don't whine about them- save for their greed.

Lmfao at people taking this personally and calling you names, stay based sir ?

Sounds like you're playing a game for the trophies, and I'm sorry to tell you the creators of the game didn't make it for that reason. If you want that there's this game called "My name is Mayo", pretty straightforward and you don't have to listen to a story since that's not your thing.

[OnlyCass]

I loved everything about this game, and its my favourite Metro to date.

[BellandDog]

So, what you're saying is you can't sit through a story, you don't play survival games, you based your experience off of trophies and not the game itself like your title would have people believe. I'm all for you complaining about a trophy that's crazy ridiculous or unobtainable even, go ahead but you just called a game trash because you decided to play it for trophies and not for enjoyment or wonder or horror or whatever it was intended for, going for trophies is fun and enjoyable (most of the time) and can feel rewarding in the end but trying to base how good a game is based on its trophies is ridiculous.

I haven't played a lot of these games, only a little bit of an earlier one I think, but how would you compare it to Metro 2033 or an earlier one?

Metro Exodus is a terrible game with so many flaws it's so amazing to me how many reviewers and gamers are unable or unwilling to acknowledge this fact. And wtf is wrong with the people defending the narrative: the story is terrible, completely replaceable and with terrible pacing with unlikable characters and zero development. 

 

Metro Exodus is a bad game – Period. 

[BSKkayfabe]

So, in short, story has too much story for a story driven game. And the choices thing....hmmmmmmm ooookkkk if that's what you didn't like fine, weird to dislike dialog in a story from a story driven game. And seriously? The breathing gives you anxiety? It adds slight realism to the game IMO, it's a nice touch. TBH, if you didn't like M.E. because of the "long boring dialog" you'd hate the Yakuza series and Metal Gear series.......or ANY real engrossing series, which is 98% of all games.....again, sorry the game wasn't INSTANTLY pleasing.

And to clarify OP, I'm taking the piss out of your idea that dialog in a dialog heavy game is a bad thing. It sounds like you're gripe is ultimately trophy related, which is fine but don't condemn a game based off the fact that you can't get trophies as quickly and painlessly as you'd like. Again, Nothing against you, at all. Just trying to show how absurd some of the points you made are, some, i assume, are good points* *reference anybody?
