the quick save system is fucking bullshit. game automatically saves over your last quick save based on progression

Yeah. Whether or not it's worth full price is up for debate and depends on your amount of disposable income though.

>enemies respawn
>resources don't

tried to playthru on ranger hardcore but had to bump down the difficultly because i was getting fucked too hard. i'd clear an area of enemies, walk 50 feet, then walk back and they fucking respawned

Damn, this is soul overload.

I think theirs a system with auto save at least, where it wont save if youre currently running out of oxygen.
There were a few times that I was fucked because I had no oxygen, but the auto saves saved my ass each time.
That being said - youre right. This game severely needed more that two save slots. That was a really poor design choice.

Never noticed this, and I quicksaved alot. What I did notice however was that there was one load latest savepoint and one load latest quicksave. There were times I would want to quicksave but couldnt due to the game doing a autosave. To work around that I just had to stand still for a few sec so I could make a quicksave after it was done.
There were also one time where I couldn't load my quicksave, and I think that was because I had switched map.

My problem was mostly that I choose to load the wrong save.
>Load latest quicksave
>Load latest savepoint
had me confused at times.

You don't get anything from killing them, you can always avoid enemies almost completely (by running away like a bitch, scaring them with your oneshoting shotgun or just turning off your light) if you're talking about monsters in openworld

The ending itself was eeh, not that emotional or well put together. But that fucking scene when you drive back in the car with Melnik and the kid from Novosibirsk is pure fucking kino holy shit. The best moment of the game hands down.

I still don't get why would they go with silent protag in a game without a lot of dialogues

I didn't feel anything throughout the entire game.
Shit felt like it was either trying too hard, or sometimes not trying hard enough, there was legit no fucking reason for me to get attached to any of the characters, especially since Miller doesn't even look the same as he did in the previous games. I wouldn't even have known it was him if not for some user who pointed it out in one of the threads. Maybe I'm just jaded to this shit, maybe it's my fault but fuck if I know. Everyone on YouTube comments about how sad the ending made them and I'm just sitting there wondering if they're too quickly to get impressed or if I'm the one that's burnt out on this shit.

C'mon bruh, the game is easy as fuck. It's a bit tedious if you want the good ending, but there isn't a single even remotely difficult moment when almost everybody die from a single headshot.

i quick saved before hitting a bandit camp in the volga. fucking up and accidentally killed a captured religious villager and got that karma flash. went to reload and my save and the last checkpoint was overridden to right after i killed the fanatic. fucking bogus

quick saves aren't overwritten your an idoit and loaded the wrong thing.

The game gets checkpoints and quick saves confused just load the oppside and you'll find your quick save assuming you haven't overwritten it.

Yeah I had this issue aswell. Are you sure you loaded your last quicksave and not the games auto last checkpoint?
I know I did. Too many times.

there were times when the quicksave would be overridden to the same time as the last checkpoint

This. The game is literally about shooting guys and if you're immortal terminator with infinite quicksaves, it's just fucking boring.
Also resource management is absolutely fucked in Exodus. On ranger hardcore if you're exploring even a third of the locations you're already fucking swimming in ammo, medpacks and gas filters simply because one mag of AK can kill 20+ enemies and AI is braindead retarded

You don't even need ammo. Throw a can, sneak knock out/kill and move on. Or just use a throwing knife.

how come the dead city in the ass end of siberia got far more radiation and everyone in their metro died while moscow (nuclear target #1) had radiation levels not so bad to be outside and their metro population survived okay?

Apperantly they got hit with a cobalt bomb, probably some important military infrastructure in Novosibirsk.
I kinda wish there was more diaries and lore

It's one of those arguments where I'd first have to explain to you that crayons are not for eat and only then continue with why you're wrong. Just kill yourself, it'll save us both time and frustration

>some important military infrastructure

wouldn't it make more sense to use conventional nukes to destroy said infrastructure instead of a radiation bomb that leaves the structure intact?

Yeah, makes sense, it is like the 3rd largest city in Russia.

Why waste valuable resources when you can occupy the territory later and claim it for yourself?

it's a full nuclear exchange. no surviving NATO forces are going to bother to capture an irradiated city in siberia

No it doesn't. I got through fine on RHC shooting or knifing every dirty fucker who dared aim a weapon at me.

And you got the good ending?

Yessir.

Fuck. I was trying to subdue bitches and sneak through the game. Now I feel like I made the game unnecessarily tedious for myself.
Though I did kill almost every bandit in the swamps and in the desert, so I guess that works too?

You can basically kill bandits/thugs and cannibals at will though. The only time you're penalized for killing them is if they're surrendering or a special circumstance (tied up, burning to death, Saul). I'm 2 for 2 on good chapter endings so far, and I've killed every single bandit fuck I've seen except in the cases that I stated.

Same here.
I killed a bunch of dude. Forest dudes aswell as desert dudes. Freed the slaves, didn't kill saul, didn't kill unarmed or surrendering dudes. Knock out is fine aswell. Good ending.

Actually, I remembered the one place I snuck through without killing was in the church to get the boat. Everything else was fair game as long as you don't shoot slaves.

I think you need 2/3 of the crew being present to get the ending.

That's reassuring. I was really worried that the game would penalize me for killing evildoers in self defense.
I guess I missed the tone cue where Ana slits the mad doctor's throat mid-sentence.

He's not silent, he speaks during loading times, reading his diary

Usually, your companions will warn you about killing people, like in the church and the bridge assault in Volga, or when you're near slaves in Caspian. Though when you get to Taiga, pretty much all the humans are pioneers/pirates, and you don't want to kill anyone from those groups.

Oh also having subtitles on helps a lot with identifying who's who. In Volga, there are a couple small areas with 2 or 3 random fanatics/villagers who you don't want to kill.

>playing ranger on 1st playthough
How's your E key doing?

wut? i got the bad ending because duke got killed and alyosha got crippled because i killed the locals despite them shooting at me first.

He said bandits and thugs user, not innocent forest dwellers who want to defend their home.

Right, QTEs fucking suck and there are way too many of them. But I have a durable keyboard, so no harm done.
Still I stand behind playing Metro on hardest difficulty every time, it's just no fun otherwise

I killed the pirates and got good ending. Didn't harm any pioneers, though. Requirements seem weird.

>come in peace with my weapon holstered
>scream that they're going to torture me and hang me up by my guts and start shooting at me
>hurr durr how dare you shoot back

retard

I killed pioneers/pirates up to the point where they reveal their ture identity. I think it was after the first point where I was "huh, maybe they're friendly". But I had already killed them, thinking I was screwed anyway so I carried on, only killing pirates since they were acting like bandits according to the pioneers. Then Olga told me not to kill them either. But I did anyway.
I didn't kill the pioneer crazy dude in the forest with the small waterwheel.
At the end of the chapter Olga and Alyosha left eachother on good terms. No one else died.

Got the good ending.

what the fuck was miller thinking?

Probably unrelated but what's the best way to play Shadow of Chernobyl? It looks pretty appealing but I've heard it's garbage if you don't mod some aspects of it

To all people arguing about requirements for good and bad endings, here's a cue
>screen flashes RED when you gain bad karma
>screen flashes BLUE\GREEN when you gain good karma
Nothing else matters, the survival of your crew members depends purely on your good or bad karma actions. You can shoot everyone and fuck geese in the open, but if you do the right thing in the key moments, the good ending will come.

If Duke was killed it's because you weren't just killing bandits. Bandits =/= the cultists and random villagers. The cultists themselves are just afraid and defending themselves. It's only their leader who's a shitbag, but even he isn't wholly bad, even if he is a fucking nutter. I killed every single bandit in that mission and none of the cultists or villagers, and Duke lived.

With Taiga, you weren't supposed to hurt pioneers OR pirates. They aren't evil either. If you paid more attention to the dialogue, you'd know why the pirates act the way they do. The children of the forest had their camp raided by bandits some time back. A lot of people went on a revenge murderspree on the bandits, and those people became the pirates who are now a bit trigger happy because of what happened in the past.

He's not the one who made the game that way. Why are you blaming him, you fucking child?

Ah. I'm not done with Taiga yet, but from the beginning, Olga is asking you not to hurt anyone. I'm sure there's a certain amount of leeway there since there's usually a bit.

the taiga map was supposed to be the biggest open world map in the game but it got cut drastically (they didn't say why). shame because it was the best looking area

Don't mod it on your first run. Just fucking don't, trust me. And even after you've played it, stay the FUCK away from "complete" mods as they fuck up the core gameplay mechanics that make stalkan good in the first place.
Just play patched vanilla on Master difficulty, it's the best first-time experience, any stalkanfag will swear on that

No weapon targeting reticle is my favorite thing. No HUD and having to rely on a laser dot is much more immersive.
I just think that guns are degrading a bit too much/fast. Especially in water section. If you miss step and fall in, your weapon goes from 0 - 100 really fast.

Remove crosshair. Set difficulty to master. Everything else is optional. /sg/ probably has an image for your exact question in one of the first few posts.

try it vanilla first. there's console commands for cheats if you're getting flustered.

I don't swear on it. People just say that to avoid people complaining on /vg/ about some problem on their first playthrough that's introduced by the mod.

Oh, also there are side missions to do like getting the teddy bear for the girl and freeing slaves. Do all of those; they're free karma boosts.

I really hope they will end up adding a New Game+ mode or something similar with more replayability

after doing a while, are the slavers supposed to have tons of ambushes set up along the road? i'm playing on ranger hardcore and i can't get from the aurora to the steal the water tanker truck mission because any road i take has multiple slaver ambushes blocking the fucking roads both day and night

I didn't run into any, but I took the shortest route, which didn't involve a whole lot of road. Can't you just kill them? It's open season on the slavers.

This ending was horrible compared to what we got with the past two games. "Morality" is totally fucked, you could shoot bandits and thugs in thugs before but thats not ok now for some reason. Cheesy, cliche action movie ending. The endings of the other two games were riddled with uncertainty about the future and even in the best possible scenarios shit was still dark, you might've prevented a slaughter but the future was still mostly unknown. Here you either get a "heroic sacrifice" or you get to be king of the Rangers, you fixed everything great job Artyom now lets bring out the cake and streamers. I haven't been this disappointed with a game for a very long time. The "bad" ending at least had some nice call backs and is far superior, the "good" ending was almost insulting.

No

Actually read the thread.

>you could shoot bandits and thugs in thugs before but thats not ok now for some reason
It's still fine. I'm pretty sure you actually got punished for killing bandits in 2033, though they may have changed that for the redux that I never played. You just didn't pay attention and assumed everyone who didn't suck your dick on first contact in Exodus was a bandit.

I didn't like that to get the good ending you had to constantly sneak and knock people unconscious. Also where's my fucking vintorez, previous games had it and I loved using it.

I'd say generally you should first play any game unmodded and only then change it as you see fit. It both lets you experience the game as it was intended by the devs, and then appreciate mods for how they change the original experience. It just makes sense

Right, that came out wrong. I didn't mean shooting hobos, but you literally just fish the trashcans and shoot people the whole game. The shooting hobo simulator? I'm a slav, how do I English it properly?

Do you consider fan patches mods, then?

If they just fix bugs that devs missed and improve stability, then no, because devs didn't intend their game to be a bugged out mess that crashes and just doesn't work properly.

and go where? they don't even know the state of that side of the world other than there are survivors, and from the looks of it there are even less.
For all they know they could all be dealing with moscow levels of radiation

You're either retarded or trolling, and I can't tell which.

Why? The dev's vision depends on guns looking weird?

i liked exodus but i think they missed an opportunity to branch out while still keeping its metro routes

instead of going on an asspull trans siberian journey, they should have gone to st. petersburg. it has the second largest metro in russia with 67 stations and was also designed as a nuclear shelter. they could have had some open world sections traveling from moscow to st. petersburg then you go back to metro exploring in the st. petersburg metro

that doesn't disprove my point. They know they are survivors but that's all, getting satellite maps was the best call.

it would have been a priority target because of how close it was to america

why did hansa/the invisible watchers kill all the survivors that went to moscow and why did they pretend the war/enemy occupation was going on?

i mean, the area outside of moscow isn't irradiated and there are settlements there. they can use the rail line to travel to the settlements outside of moscow and back. they can set up a trade route and bring in food and supplies and laborers from outside of moscow in and if the metros are getting overcrowded, they can ship people out to settle and farm the land outside of moscow

But they don't? I never understood the gun retexture mods for stalkan. But even if you assume they do, how can you appreciate the improvement if you have no base point of reference?

>Enemies ignore you to fight a miniboss and you fight alongside them

control you nigger, imagine if people knew of the outside, the structure and stability of the metro would get fucked, people would open doors, and mutants would enter.

Because you don't need to have that point of reference to know if you think the modded ones are good? You could check beforehand anyway? You're making this more complex than it needs to be.

I thought either they were misled (just like Melnik) or they are trying to just get more money and power in Metro, control and money.

Not only does that have no bearing on the previous discussion, but why the fuck would they even want to settle down on a fucking oil rig? Sure, you get the security of isolation. In trade, you lose out on access to food other than fish, readily available fresh water, wood for fires, and your one means of getting to and from the land is probably a single ship. It's also a depressing as fuck place to spend the rest of your lives compared to some sparsely populated area in the middle of bumfuck nowhere Russian countryside. It's not like all of Russia has a high population density.

There are plenty of games where this is the case and they aren't bad. Catherine, for example, has plenty of fun gameplay but story is still the center of the game.

Watching twitch is fucking stupid though. The whole twitch experience works in complete opposite. The game's story is trying to immerse you into the world and if you're some faggot typing Kappa in chat you're doing yourself a disservice and you have no right to ever complain about anything relating to that game.
