Bi50N if you're still listening. Would it be possible to get FOV slider added to the game for the PC version? It's a feature that's quite sought after in first person PC games.

You can just edit the config file. I want the original smoke back.

Sweet!
That's an impressive framerate on High.

To be fair, he has one of the best GPU and CPU's on the market.
I have a 4770k@4ghz and a GTX 780 and I expect similar performance. Though I won't be playing at that resolution. Seems silly to sacrifice framerate for image quality to me.
Holy shit I totally forgot about that. That is gonna be a good one.
It already happened over a week ago.

They're doing another one for the PC version. Has a lot more going on!
Ranger Hardcore didn't use to show your ammo when you brought up your journal did it?
Look at page 20.
That happened a lot in what I played of the PS3 version of Last Light.
This reminds me. I was watching a video of this (not sure if it was 2033 or Last Light) but I could not believe my ears when I heard those crappy reload sound effects. The shotgun too. It was like those sound FX I used to download when making Flash animations back in the day. Is that really how it sounds?
In 2033, when (spoilers for chapter 3-4ish)
Khan says that Heaven, Hell and Purgatory were atomized and that's why there are ghosts, does he mean that literally? Like, in this universe, is that why there are those ghosts or is he just using that as an abstract explanation for something he doesn't fully understand?

It'll bring most rigs to their knees as SSAA essentially renders the game at a way higher resolution and downsamples it back to the selected resolution. 4x is rendering the game at a very high resolution.

yeah, I've just never came across this setting before in any other game. I selected 4x thinking the rig could handle it, I'm barely getting 30 FPS.
Yeah had to keep mine at 0.5x to get a constant 60fps. When i turned it to 4x just to test it, my game almost became a slideshow :/

Yeah but I have a USA account (because the chilean PSN store sucks) so I have to buy a pre paid card which is a pain (you can either buy a $50 card for $60 in retail or buy it on amazon but then I have to go buy USD's in another place as the exchange rate of the bank is a ripoff).
Plus I preffer to buy games in physical format if I have the option

I'd leave it off. And don't set it to 0.5 because that renders the game at half of the display resolution and makes it look like crap. I just turn it off, but I play at 1440p so aliasing isn't a huge issue.
In terms of graphics, Metro blows Wolf out of the water. Wolf looks decent and has great art, but Metro is miles ahead. But I think Wolf is better in terms of gameplay, Metro is a little clunky on a controller.

How does this hold up against Wolfenstein TNO in terms of graphics, gameplay (PS4)?
Isn't 0.5x essentially 1/2 of 1080p then? I've seen one person that posted gameplay with a GTX 760, but he was using 0.5x SSAA, and people were commenting on how great the game runs :/

pip pip cheerio you slags!
Um actually running at the .5x means you are running less than whatever your set resolution is, meaning it looks worse

I've never played 2033. Which is the better game of the two?
Using 4 X SSAA is total overkill.
Using 2x is more then enough.

I think 2033 has better pacing and much more emphasis on the survival elements that I enjoy. Also has a lot of indoor stealth scenarios which Last Light does as well, but I really enjoyed the ones there. It had some minor jankiness but it's really something special. Last Light is good but it's much more action packed, you have a pretty decent amount of ammo even on Ranger Hardcore, and there are boss fights which are somewhat silly and out of place. Still, both games do FPS stealth and exploration in a way that makes them wholy unique. And for when the shit gets rough, the shooting feels great with weighty weapons. Last Light made it a bit less weighty, but it still has punch.

2033, the original anyway, was much slower paced and really felt it like it revolved around it's dark and danky themes of the metro. Similar sort of feeling to Stalker. Last Light is much more akin to a modern action shooter, it's not by any means bad, but it gives off more of an adventure vibe.

Ah, ok. I remember seeing reviews of Metro 2033 and how bullets were something you didn't want to waste.
When I finally played LL I was prepared to conserve my ammo, but it seemed quite plentiful.
So two experiences that are pretty different. I was considering buying one off PSN, but maybe I'll just hold off and get the package down the road.

wait...so PC got a patch that improved the lighting by a lot? are console versions getting this too?!
Chance Hale

No reason to think so. They're lacking any kind of tessellation so to think they're going to get the even more intensive lighting effects while maintaining the 60 FPS target is unreasonable. They haven't even added all of them back to the PC version.

Personally I enjoyed LL more but that's just because it played better. Story wise they both feel about the same to me with LL having more enemies and heavier firefights. It's funny going back and forth between 2033 and LL with Redux as I never noticed that both games start in pretty much the exact same way. I do wish the aiming down sights was a little quicker in both as the 60 fps makes it feel even more sluggish than it already did on 360.

Probably not. It already runs at PC equivalent Medium/High.

Everyone is going to feel a bit differently about the look of the 2033 redux, but I much prefer the look of the redux's outdoor sections over 2033's. I am easy swayed by brightness and color and 2033's original outdoor look was super grey and gloomy. Just got to the Dead City level and love how Redux looks.

Ranger Hardcore, it's been adjusted to be like Last Light where you're swimming in ammo. Can't imagine how Sparten or easier difficulties play. Game plays a lot better without a hud to me.

Love it too. Looks more realistic to me. Like stunning photography of a blizzard ghost town.

Mine at 1080p runs anywhere from 65+ down to around 30 fps. Everything maxed out except SSAA which I have off. Seems to stay around 50 fps average.
I was about to ask if they had it. Tesselation hits my performance by about 10fps regardless of if it's set to Normal or Very High in big spaces, so I'll turn it off for now. I get 60fps with occasional dips at Very High, and a solid 60 at High otherwise.
