Metro series - Some people call these demons, I call them bitches.

[One Sick Puppy]

Recently there was a massive shitstorm on 4chan, reddit, and on the steam forums, because Deep Silver pulled the game from steam to instead be released on the Epic Games Store. Steam thread discussing it

Game comes out in a few hours, any kiwis excited to play it?

 

[Aquinas]

excited to pirate it, yes

 

[Diplowave]

I'll just wait fora sale on gog or humble

 

[Ponderous Pillock]

Play? Sure. I loved the first two games.

Pay after this bullshit they pulled and did a deal with the Chink Corporate equivalent of the devil?

Hahahahah. No.

 

[The tired cat]

Yeah, I was actually looking forward to buying it. I loved the 1st and 2nd game (specially the Redux versions), but after this stunt? Welp, gimme a pirate hat and bottle of rum.

Metro is a great series, but yeah... I'm not crazy about downloading a new DRM platform to play Exodus. I'll get it cheap later.

Also, Metro has always differentiated itself from Stalker by being a linear, focused FPS. I assume it still will be, but setting it on the surface seems weird to me.

Eh, it's not that weird really. In a few metro books done by different authors, you had characters venture trough the surface and it did lend to very interesting adventures or encounters (specially books like Bellow Hell, Roots of Heaven)

seems better than Last light, which was incredibly on rails. Even 2033 felt better than that.
Dont care about Epic store but Im gonna buy it only when it has a huge price drop, so I'll give it 2 months max.

I will say, I do hope this retains the supernatural stuff like the previous Metro games did. That's something I liked about the franchise for having a mix of your typical post apocalypse with supernatural stuff, hell that's what made a good portion of the Metro spin off books more popular than the typical "Oh here's some dudes surviving/fighting in the post apocalypses world"

Denuvo, Epic the Chinese Communist Party..

All things I trust.

Since this franchise seems to be as close as I'll ever get to a STALKER replacement, (I'll believe STALKER 2 is real once it's actually released,) I'm waiting with baited breath for this to get cracked.

 

[Konover]

Please fuck I wanna play this game so bad. I don’t even care about Epic’s Jewry at this point.

Just wait for a crack dude. You get it for free and Epic loses another customer ^^

Denuvo is never cracked.

 

[GethN7]

Lol no.

Sure, it takes awhile to crack it, but it inevitability comes down.

I heard good things about the Metro series, but I'm not sure I want to touch this game if I have to go the Epic Store AND Denuvo route to play it.

 

[Aquinas]

RE2 got cracked almost immediately iirc

 

[Cardenio]

Yeah I'll wait a year for the game to go back on Steam or GoG. I don't even feel that compelled to hate Epic, it's just that between Steam, GOG, Ubisoft Store, Origin, Rockstar, Battle.Net, I'm tired of having to keep up with digital libraries.

Oh and I almost forgot about Bethesda having their own competing store. Doom Eternal better be a GOTY contender or they better make Prey 2 for me to buy.

 

[Secret Asshole]

I'm skipping exodus. Lots of other games I can play that don't require a launcher. By the time a year rolls around, Cyberpunk will be out. By the time I get to Exodus it'll be 20 bucks for it and all DLC. I've got plenty of choice. I'm not installing another launcher for what amounts to a cult classic.

 

[Wake me up]

There's a thread for this already.
