not much more to say. it's fun, it's amazing, it's worth it.... yet whoever made the mechanics/balancing for the steeltown dlc deserves a lot of physical and emotional pain
Whoever made this dlc all should get hooked up to a lie detector and forced to paly the dlc. and then get asked if they think how the non lethal and super damage causing silly immunity field system is implemented is fun to play. their punishment is death by saying they have to play it over and over again until they liked it and think they made a good job (remember the lie detector)
first let me say, basically the game is awesome..or could be, but there is so much silly basic sh.. that ruins it. it starts with the lesser flaw of not being able to pick up items around 25% of the time in the city and almost nothing out in the badlands, maybe becasause the dried vegetation blocks the engine. what really ruins it everytime is that apparently the devs wanted to make this game playable on a 1991 game boy and its 2 buttons. here's a perk to immediatly pick up a body after a takedown..PSYCHE! we didn'T lock that key for the situation so when you do it, you also activate your cyberware like berzerk because we only use so few buttons in this game and don't allow you to change them becasue we program like it's 1999. same for c to crouch AND skip dialoge. so sometimes you have the option to get discovered and shot during a dialoge or fast skip and miss it so you can crouch.... next similar annoying sh*t...can'T map a key to holster your gun. double tap alt. just in 90% of the time that just switches your weapon.... this game should get a reward for the highest difference between potential and how much of it is ruined by 20 year old programming
first you NEED to paly the first part before playing last light. 2nd. when i got the first part fro ma friend time ago, i really didn't want to play it. too many boring shooters out there and not even my favorite genre (prefer fallout 3 like games). finally gave it a try..and i was kinda right...levels are very straightforward, not only the udnergroudn level. should you look up now to check if i really gave 5 stars for this.. YES I DID the two metro games were some of the most intense fun i ever had. the storytelling, the story itself and the atmosphere are unparalleled to almost every other game i know. the second game loses a bit of that survival athmosphere but only compared to part one it is still a great and impressive game. But the story goes straight from part one continued in part two, and very greatly so. so my advice, get both games. you won't regret it.
i won't write another detailed review. this game was great in so many way. the tactics,great humor,ressource system, the way the campaign is handled, again great humor. I lost my CDs long ago. As soon as the german version is on a sale, i will buy the game again (the localization was great and I don't want to miss it, made the msitake with dungeon keeper 2)
just wanted to mention, there is also a Linux/Ubuntu version for this game. Don'T know why there is no download in the GOG library, but you can download it when you register at the kingart games homepage
