Metro 2049 and metro last light are going cheap on switch eshop. Which game was first and are they any good?

Metro 2033 is the first one, and they're both great. But don't the Switch versions come in a pack?

So, any opinions on Epic trying to cut out Google and Apple's 30% cut from their sale of in game currrency in Fortnight?

I think Epic's endgame is getting their own storefront on Android and iOS.  I guess they could get a favorable ruling if they make the argument that both parties together have a monopoly on the smartphone market and are abusing that to enforce the 30% cut.  They might also reason that it's unfair to allow physical goods to be sold on third party storefronts, but not digital goods.

If Epic is serious about this, this could take years though.


This is one of those things where I kind of need to know the behind the scenes goings on. How much back and forth negotiation there has been regarding the price, etc. I thought I remembered there has been a back and forth battle with Epic and Apple before, not sure about Google. The one thing I can say with any assurance is that Epic can't expect Apple and Google to play free host for downloading a pretty large game without getting something in return.

It's one of those situations where I don't feel bad for anyone involved. They all have some unfriendly pricing models. 30% is really too much of a fee for operating a digital storefront, and Epic's microtransactions are kind of like crack for kids.

Metro Redux is a post-apocalyptic first person shooter, and a two-part remake of Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. It was developed by 4A Games and published by Deep Sliver. The enhanced versions of both games can be bought together as a bundle or separately. The remake was also Metro 2033's debut on a Sony PlayStation console.

While I am interested in seeing what the outcome of this may be I can’t say that I really care about any of these companies involved enough to care about a ruling in any particular direction. It is quite funny though how Epic had this all planned out with that 1984 Free Fortnite video ready to go.

this game lol. Its very entertaining but not great. Chris has been a lot better than Leon's stuff but it is like COD with monsters. The weapon selection is bothering me the most I have a bad ass grenade launcher but have to remember how many times and in what direction to press the dpad relative to the weapon I'm currently holding. It's a shit show. Ada just died. Not sure if she's hero or villain in this game now unless there's a doppelganger.

Finished Chris campaign. It was decent, quite fun. I'd give it 7/10, whereas Leon's was a 6.

Ah, I see. Each is like 10-15 hours long, and apparently they have gyro controls. Last Light (the second one) is the more accessible of the two, with a bigger focus on pacing and gunplay iirc, but the stories are connected, and 2033 is arguably better due to it being slightly more focused on simply surviving by any means. Ultimately both are great and you can't go wrong with either. I played Last Light before 2033, and it wasn't a problem, for instance. But bear in mind they're both pretty bleak, can be quite difficult (and the best experience is actually to play it on the harder settings for immersion) and have a very unique feel to the gunplay.

I'm interested in playing these games, especially after seeing that Foolz put in a considerable amount of time with them.

There is an easy mode. The difficulty settings are actually pretty in-depth so you can customise things to your liking.

EDIT: That said, easy mode is probably more like normal (or a bit harder) than easy mode in other games, depending on the situation.

Playing Ada campaign on Resident Evil 6. Was this part of the original Game it feels very weird. It seems to want me to play like Splinter Cell and yet it doesn't have the controls to work properly

This is total shit. Janky camera, no ammo. Flies enemy only way to beat it is with uzi but not enough ammo. Horrible controls that don't work half the time. It's like a 3/10 campaign so far. This is also the third underwater escape in the game so far πŸ™„
