Metro Last Light - Thread

[AWPC]

Looks like without any warning the UK retail PC-DVD release got cancelled.

In the last few days its gone missing from all the major pre-order online retailers which probably means a digital only release now (to stop people buying much cheaper then using the key on Steam most likely).

Bit of a chump move by the new publisher when you could have bought it for around 25-30% less than Steams current rip-off price

That don't add up, greenman are selling it too and they will have discount codes.

£34.99 is their price the retail version was just over £25 you won't see this for much less than £30 digitally for at least a month after release is the usual pattern.

Why cancel the retail version this close to release with no warning you have to assume its because it was so much cheaper than the £34.99 being asked for the digital version!

Very excited for this now, only a week to go

Hopefully get my key through greenman in the next few days so i can start the 35 GB preload \:

This is NOT going to be a small game.

I got mine for £24 from GMG ages ago....the game install size is big because it will use high resolution textures.This will be amazing in 3D if it works as good as Metro 2033 did.

Pre-load is now available guys.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

If you are quick, the GMG voucher still works (did for me about 15 mins ago) GMG25-5GT67-87HJ9

Gets you 25% off so Metro Last Light can be had for £26.25 and not £34.99!

Refer a friend! We both get £2 quid credit - http://www.greenmangaming.com/?gmgr=muluvofe

But hurry, according to the steam discussion board, this code ends at 3pm UTC 10th May 2013 which I worked out to have already past I think, but hey the code still works!

PS - Yes, its a Steam key, yes it has the Ranger Mode and the Comic and yes, you can Pre-load now!!!!

PCGAMER gave it 80% haven't read the review yet, but I gather its a lot of talking and videos and not a lot of actual gameplay.

Someone given you dud information or have inside knowledge?
I cant find any reviews of the game on google and according to this page, pcgamer release the review on Monday - http://www.pcgamer.com/2013/05/10/i...isnt-it-included-for-all-players-we-ask-koch/

Making my 2000th post confirming that i too cannot find any PCGAMER review information for this game. Or any review material for that matter.

I would be pretty shocked if after all the media surrounding this game it got 80%

 

[sharpygsxr]

got my subscriber edition of PC GAMER today and can confirm its reviewed from page 70-75. Score is 80% with the note saying " A Brilliantly realised world wrapped around a story-driven shooter that occasionally forgets you want to play it."

Reading the review they could have said the same of Bioshock in that theres too much story and not enough game. Review still makes me want it thats for sure

Interesting, 80% just seems a little harsh. I havent read the review but figured it would score quite high judging by the first game.

After reading the review, 80% seems about right and fair.

P.S Women's breasts have PhysX lol

IGN Australia by any chance? They don't know jack. The review embargo lifts on Monday, so probably worth while waiting.

Just pre-ordered this as I noticed that you don't get ranger mode otherwise :S The game better be good!

Ranger mode to cost £4 after release, i just thought it wouldn't be included post launch, but looks like they are offering it for a small amount. Not sure what to think about it.

Did you play Ranger mode in Metro 2033?
