THQ week on Steam

Played through the Metro 2033 demo, it is almost completely non-interactive the whole way through, very boring indeed TBH. It felt very clunky and I wasn't taken in by the story or characters at all.
 
I'm surprised you've had to take it down to normal, I'm not sure what the GTS 250 is like but my 4870 1Gb is happily running it on very high at 1920x1080 in Dx10. i5 at 4Ghz and 4Gb DDR3, can't see your processor or ram being the culprit.

It runs very smooth as long as those massive beams of lights don't make an appearance, fortunately they've only shown up at the start of two levels briefly, then it's back to smooth performance.

I didn't play the demo but the story/characters of the game are alright so far, Bourbon is a pretty funny character. A fair bit to interact with in the game too.

Dx11 plays a very minor role in Metro too, not worth the performance drop as the tessellation isn't very good, not really that noticeable unless you stand still and zoom in on object edges.
 
Apparently the game is basically entirely GPU dependent, one site did a test and it made no difference whether you ran it on a C2D 2.0GHz or a 4GHz quad.

GTS 250 is a renamed 9800GTX+. I took these screenshots earlier...

Hmm... I thought Metro was DOG, running crossfire I was getting constant stuttering etc... anyone confirm if this has been fixed in some sort of patch?
 
Yea never heard of it. Just bought it. Trailers and pics look good... Can't go wrong with the price.
 
Well it's made up of guys behind the Desert Combat mod for original BF, I'm just concerned whether there's enough people and servers up still?
 
I'm interested in the game but only if the single player is worthwhile - and looking on metacritic apparently the SP is very lacking?
