please just put it in a metro again

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:29 PM games

the open world was cool

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:29 PM games

but please no more

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:29 PM games

the only open world i want from them

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:29 PM games

is one with a massive city

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:29 PM games

with interconnecting subway tunnels

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 13, 2026 5:29 PM games

Best I can offer is HSR Max

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:29 PM games

that you can actually map out

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 13, 2026 5:29 PM games

Space trains

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:29 PM games

Replying to taxes #tzfi

with interconnecting subway tunnels

this would be an incredible game

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:29 PM games

if done right

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:30 PM games

actually taking the idea of some tunnels are damaged, some places need you to use the surface to get around

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:30 PM games

but i feel like no matter what it wouldnt be done right

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:30 PM games

i dont think open the world is the right word for that anyways

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:30 PM games

i think what i dont want is an open world but a world that is open, but youre heavily handheld/pushed through it

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:30 PM games

a lot of older games used to be like that

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:30 PM games

and that kind of genre is completely dead

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 13, 2026 5:30 PM games

I say this not to trivialize it, but it should be easy to do

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:31 PM games

i mean

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 13, 2026 5:31 PM games

the metro formula

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 13, 2026 5:31 PM games

the REAL metro formula

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 13, 2026 5:31 PM games

is kinda perfect

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 13, 2026 5:31 PM games

Sandbox with constricted maps

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:31 PM games

it doesnt even need to be super sandboxy

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:32 PM games

handhold me like the actual games, but give me a small tight knit sections at a time

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:32 PM games

maybe with a lot of backtracking

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:32 PM games

with the zone changing

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:32 PM games

the first two metro games had some back tracking with the areas changing

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:32 PM games

and it worked really well

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:33 PM games

a large city with a bunch of major tunnels, and then like 3 factions warring and the state of the area progresses over your playthrough, with routes being destroyed and more dangerous options being forced

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:33 PM games

would be really really really good

Rusp Apr 13, 2026 5:33 PM games

Metro is a series I have been mildly interested in for a long time because it is probably the game series I have been recommended the most in my life

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:33 PM games

idk if you would like it, maybe

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:33 PM games

its FPS story games

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:33 PM games

with extremely good atmosphere

Rusp Apr 13, 2026 5:34 PM games

I traditionally love those games but haven't played one in a long time

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:34 PM games

theyre also for people who think thing but russian is cool

Rusp Apr 13, 2026 5:34 PM games

Oh so spooky

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:34 PM games

i mean the asthetic is very good

Rusp Apr 13, 2026 5:35 PM games

I think out of any series I would play it's probably at the top of my list... do I start with the first game or whatever or is it a skip the first game scenario

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:36 PM games

Theres something very satisfying about wandering around a russian tunnel, hearig the ticking going off, random screams in the distance- or complete silence. wiping blood off of your gasmask, it slowly cracking from combat, stabbing yourself with meds over and over and watching in real time your kit run out

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:36 PM games

theres 3 games 2033, last light and exodus

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:37 PM games

original 2033 has its quirks but its still good, but they later updated it in the last light engine

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:37 PM games

its called like 2033 redux

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 13, 2026 5:37 PM games

Rusp, you would like the non-story parts of the game

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:37 PM games

it should be in the library

Gent Apr 13, 2026 5:37 PM games

That's not satisfying I do that irl

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 13, 2026 5:37 PM games

I just don't know if you'd like the narrative sections

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:37 PM games

Rusp Apr 13, 2026 5:38 PM games

I mean I'm not sure how analogous this is but the original black ops campaign is one of my favorite gaming experiences ever

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:38 PM games

theres a lot less direct story

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:38 PM games

you just kind of have a goal

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:38 PM games

and the game is your story traveling to that goal

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:38 PM games

and the hell you go through to reach it

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 13, 2026 5:38 PM games

Rusp, since you like Fallout, I also think you'd like Exodus (maps 1 and 3 especially)

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:39 PM games

bros skipping him to the openworld game

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:39 PM games

😭

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:39 PM games

i mean if he does not like 2033

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:39 PM games

theres a chance hed liek exodus

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:39 PM games

yea

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 13, 2026 5:39 PM games

they're different games sadly

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:39 PM games

yea

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:39 PM games

still a good game

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:39 PM games

just different'

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 13, 2026 5:39 PM games

also, Redux is the version to play

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 13, 2026 5:39 PM games

for 2033 and LL

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:39 PM games

2033 especially

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:39 PM games

LL its mostly just bug fixes iirc

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 13, 2026 5:39 PM games

they got actual compatability patches

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:40 PM games

but 2033 is putting it in the LL engine

Rusp Apr 13, 2026 5:40 PM games

I don't know when I'd actually try it

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:40 PM games

which makes it a lot better to handle

Rusp Apr 13, 2026 5:40 PM games

I've always just been passively interested in it so I figured I'd ask

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:40 PM games

its in the library

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 13, 2026 5:40 PM games

next time you're in VC

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 13, 2026 5:40 PM games

and say Kleitka?

taxes Apr 13, 2026 5:40 PM games

id do 2033 redux first

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 13, 2026 5:40 PM games

Rusp Apr 13, 2026 5:40 PM games

I WANT TO TRY KLETKA

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 13, 2026 5:40 PM games
