Metro Last Light - Thread

I didnt, was that DLC also ?

Not even sure what ranger mode is, it appears to be just a "hard" mode, if that's the case it should definitely be included in the game, and not sold for £4.

My friend however says its supposed to be game changing and much more immersive, no HUD, 1 hit kills, altered AI, adds more atmosphere etc, whether that's true or not i don't know.

Ranger mode in 2033 is indeed what your friend said. Its easily the best way to play the game and arguably the way its meant to be played, yet its day 1 dlc lol.

Your mate is right, it strips the HUD and is essentially a extremely difficult mode. The history with Ranger is that it wasn't in the base game of 2033. It was offered afterwards as free DLC for the PC and because of certification practises on the XBOX it cost 240MSP.

When Koch Media acquired the rights to buy Metro LL the game was completed. Now Deep Silver (Publishers) for Metro knew about Ranger HC but as they wanted to ship the game with as little delay as possible they inherited THQ's bad marketing pre-order incentive as they couldn't reverse those who already pre-ordered the game on Steam or from the THQ store by including it in the game for everyone else (legalities). They also had administration, Logistical stuff etc to organise.

Instead Deep Silver offered an additional Digital Comic, 10% off for those who already had 2033 and included Metro 2033 digital book for USA only.

The fault is not Deep Silvers and if they wanted to they could delay the game by 8 months and done things their way but patience is never a virtue with gamers.

If you like the look of the game and the reviews are good then I say buy it. You never know Deep Silver may offer those who pre-ordered free DLC for missions 4A have been working on after the game went Gold as a form of recompense.

However, if you think that Deep Silver should have done something more in the short time they had when the transition from THQ was made then wait for a Steam sale.

Here's another interesting fact too:

M2033 steam achievements:

Survivor
Complete the game in Ranger Mode Easy.

1.5% of all players

Last Man Standing
Complete the game in Ranger Mode Hardcore.

1.4% of all players

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!!!!

Yeah I think the 1st one is for the Ranger DLC Mode in Steam (you have to activate it separate to the game but it then combines it if that makes sense, you have to activate the game first), the 2nd short one for the comic and the 3rd is for the main game in Steam. So use the 3rd code first then the 1st one. Confusing.

Just spotted this post from Andy at Neogaf (NVIDIA Guy)

My SLI TITANs have about 90% scaling on the new driver we'll be releasing tomorrow, though of course it varies per scene, per computer, per GPU, per architecture.

So new Drivers hitting tomorrow and the scaling looks good. :D
