Loving this game. Finding it quite a short game though looking at my progress. Will be sad when it ends.

depends which ending you get...

I loved the first 2, I enjoy the human vs human element but the mutants are boring as ****.

Something however didn't sit right with this one at all, can't say I enjoyed it the same as the others so quite a disappointment, glad it only cost me a £1 to play it

I'm glad it's not just me that is finding the beginning tedious. I was so looking forward to this game, but so far it's the most generic, boring game I have played in a long time. I ended up turning it off after an hour or so. I really hope it gets better when it opens up as this 'on rails action movie' gameplay really isn't my cup of tea.

Got a £1 Microsoft subscription mainly to give this a go. However I know it goes open world later but the opening got on my nerves so much I uninstalled. Having to hold "E" and then be animated through opening doors, squeezings gaps and crouching under things every 5 seconds just completely did my head in. Was I too hasty, the fingerprints of console gaming are just all over this thing and I wasn't feeling it.

I went back to playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly instead and loving it.

You were too hasty. Intro is in Moscow and is linear, yes. Once you leave Moscow you get two large open maps, STALKER like that are immersive and fun to explore. Couple sidequests as well. I loved thid METRO the most of the three because it is most STALKER-like, even if it has some linear sections. But then again STALKER also had those.

Yeah, they couldn't even afford someone to voice the main character :p. Kinda stops dead any sort of meaningful character interaction when the main character is a mute.

Artyom being mute is super bad design decision, yeah. Not nearly enough to destroy the game, but I do wish they gave him a voice in game and not just in the diary.

I finally finished it, it was decent but easily the worst in the series imo.

Their voice acting budget must be about a fiver, pretty ridiculous how terrible it is given it's meant to be story based.

The english VO is horrible, but the russian one is great. I am glad I played in russian with subtitles.
 
This game doesnt work at all on windows store for me.

Installed and runs the cut scene thing at the start and then is unable to login even although im logged in the app they made me download and pay for a months subscription. Refunded.

Same for me. Downloaded it via PC Game Pass and just crashes back to the desktop after the intro video.
 
Enjoyed this for the most part.

It wasn't quite what I expected. I though it was going to be a large free roaming game, when in reality it's mostly linear (even the open sections felt very limited) like the previous versions.

My main complaint would be the companions, often in the way, and so damn tedious!
 
Played for a few hours now and it's not bad. Much better than the beginning hour, but I'm just not getting the same level of enjoyment I got from the first two games. I feel like it needed a stronger story and characters to really pull it together, which is near impossible with a mute protagonist.

The world looks decent though, although it doesn't quite have that gritty realistic look to it that Stalker has. The guns sound awesome, which makes for some fun battles and the weapon modding is also cool. I have enjoyed finding new mods and switching up my weapons. Saying that, I have found myself using the totally realistic pump up airgun for the most part so far. Being able to headshot an entire bandit camp without anyone hearing a shot makes every other gun useless. The ammo is super cheap to craft as well. Just use the other guns when I'm discovered or for mutants.

I'm not surprised you're finding the story and character development poorer than something like Stalker. While Stalker was released 12 years ago, Quake 2 was released in 1997 and is now 22 years old. I think it's a great choice to showcase early RTX for several reasons. It's so old now that it's relatively lightweight for a graphics engine. It was always meant to be a mindless run and blast. It was one of the first OpenGL (and Glide and PowerVR) games so was a technical showcase back in its day. Also many people who played it back then are now a little older and financially secure. So the people getting a huge amount of nostalgia from the looks and sounds are just the target audience who may be able to afford an RTX card.

Like I said before, if there were a resurgence of raytraced Quake 2 multiplayer then I'd be buying an RTX card immediately.
 
Stalker doesn't have any character development or much of a story either, but Stalker doesn't need it as the world is just so detailed and atmospheric and makes you want to go out an explore it. I could spend hours in Stalker just walking around, looking at the architecture and soaking in the atmosphere, but in polished AAA games like Metro, it just feels like a game world to me and as good as it looks, it doesn't have that same immersive atmosphere.

It's not a bad game though, I am having fun with it. I am glad I didn't grab it from Steam for £50 in a panic when Epic did their shady deal though.
 
Guys, could you recommend me some game setting for 1080ti 1440p 144hz, please?
Does anyone notice any improvements in game performance with 431.36 drivers?
D12 or D11?

Pretty sure I played with everything on max with the 1080 Ti and DX12. It will struggle when you get to Caspian, FPS slumped to below 50 at times.
 
I enjoyed the game, but have to say overall it wasn't as good as I was hoping. Very long game too tho. Starts OK, gets a bit lost in the middle but finishes strong.

Performance at 1440p. I had ultra on but turned off hairworks and physx.
