Guys, you should check out this trailer.
Most of the video isn’t about the game itself, but rather the developers complaining about how hard they’re working during wartime, how tough things are, how evil Russia is, and nonsense like “Cлaвa Укpaїнi!”
I’d bet that this game, which is set in a Moscow metro station, doesn’t have any Russian language.

Synopsis:
>The story is set 25 years after a nuclear war. Shockingly, the various factions that once existed beneath Moscow have now been united under the banner of the “Novoreich,” led by none other than the legendary Spartan warrior, Hunter. Although he promises to lead the people back to the surface, the reality is one of brutal totalitarian rule, overwhelming propaganda, and information blackouts. Players will take on the role of a recluse known as “The Stranger,” who is plagued by violent nightmares yet forced to embark on a harrowing journey back underground. Notably, the protagonist will feature full voice acting for the first time, providing a deeper level of narrative immersion.
Haha, this is definitely just more of that nonsense where they call each other Nazis.

I don't think so; their last game, Metro Exodus, was great.
But in Metro 2039, most of their nonsense revolves around the idea that Russians are Nazis.

By the way, the original author of the Metro series said that the story of *2039* is based on reality.
Because he publicly opposed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, he was forced to flee Russia. He is likely hiding somewhere in Ukraine right now.

In fact, that’s exactly what the original author of the novel did. He was forced to flee Russia for criticizing Putin.
Essentially, *2039* portrays Russia under Putin’s leadership as a Nazi state.

I don’t understand why they chose to portray Hunter as the new leader of this fascist state.
In the original novel, Hunter is a violent man, but he isn’t a madman obsessed with fascism.

Doesn't make much sense that the Reich would be the one emerging victorious from the bloodbowl between fascists, communists and Hanza. They were the weakest faction by far compared to the rest. They didn't have the manpower of the reds, nor the wealth and technology of Hanza either. They only controlled three small metro stations too.

>>533272619
>Reich
I’m guessing this “Novoreich” isn’t the original Reich.
It’s a form of fascism based on opposition to mutated lifeforms.
Basically, it’s all that nonsense about “I’ll oppress my own people in order to defeat the aliens.”
In fact, in the novel’s 2035 ending, members of the “former Russian government” had already decided to end the civil war in the Metro. They stepped directly into the spotlight to lead the people once again.
I’m guessing this new nation is their creation.

They're just salty because they can't afford to fight the war without constant feeding from actual nations.
I enjoyed the metro series but I won't be swayed because every pussy in Ukraine is dusted from the constant bombardment of correction they've been getting. Russia and Ukraine have exhausted several healthy generations over a piece of fucking land that won't change for shit regardless of who wins. If Russia wins, the land might be flatter.
Other than that, I hope Russia does to Ukraine what Israel repeatedly does to anywhere that doesn't integrate with them.
It's just political theater trying to edge until the other side taps out. Zelenski or whoever his name is, lives in a mansion but stays up for 3 days straight and everyone feels sorry for him.
Kill yourselves lol, you're doing it already.

No.
I’ve played every game in the series and read all the original novels.
I love this series, and I love the author’s portrayal of the ugliness of human nature in these stories.
But the world-building in *2039* feels too contrived.
It basically implies that everyone is a Nazi, as if everyone is evil.
When you insist on labeling everyone as a villain, you’ve essentially given up on communication.
This is no different from the Japanese trope where a hero kills an evil villain.
Essentially, it’s just nonsense used to satirize the Russian government as Nazis.
It’s just as absurd as a fool desperately claiming that every German is a Nazi.

The entire “everyone is a Nazi and part of irredeemably bad faction X” seems to be a way of getting around the fact that the games always reward you for taking a non-lethal approach. But killing stuff in video games is fun, so most of the human enemies that the player encounters has to be handwaved away as having no negative moral consequence with “Oh, he was a bandit/cannibal/Nazi so it’s ok”. Except for Sam in the DLC. He’s American so I guess he can kill anyone and it’s automatically ok, or at least the developers seemed to think so.

The earlier titles, as well as Metro 2039 (written in cooperation with the author) are all about how he sees Russia, and it always was a condemnation of the society as well as the government.

>I'm a journalist by education and my primary interest is world news and the Russian political and social situation, which I've been really exploring this entire time under the guise of dystopian fiction.
> think that inevitably, as the years go by, you lose your connection to what's actually going on in your home country when you're in exile. And I think that before I've lost that understanding, I owe my country a couple more stories that I have (about) the things that I have realized and the things that I have understood during these three years of war on Ukraine and Russia's isolation, and people's conformism and acceptance of evil and normalization of evil. So these are, I guess, the next topics I would love to explore.
With the 'SVO' being used to centralize power and rally the population behind it, how else did you expect him to portray it? Making them all nazis is quite heavy-handed, but the author wasn't really subtle about his themes before either.

I'm criticizing books, not the games. Genreslop = reddit garbage obsessed with mechanics and genre over theme or telling a real story. In /v/ lingo it'd be like the distinction between spec ops the line and a flavor of the month mindless online fps.

He would've nuked the commies as well but they lost to the Fourth Reich. Both wanted the Rangers out of commission and the capitalist pigs at Hanza weren't helping.
And all the factions were (unfortunately) being controlled by a super secret illuminati faction controlling the Metro for the highly dubious and retarded reason that they were scared America would nuke Moscow a second time so they jammed all communications even though the rest of Russia wasn't being nuked and were openly communicating with the world so they jammed communications for no fucking reason.

The first two are really atmospheric and have a lot of weird supernatural occurrences. Exodus sort of confirmed what the first 2 games just sort of play with that (most of it) was just radiation poisoning but there are definitely things unexplainable happening. I definitely wouldn't call the first 2 YA shit. They're very very dark and weird and horrifying. Everything sucks and everyone is miserable and it's awesome. Exodus is more like 4 or 5 Hollywood movies sewn together with each zone having its own simpler and less interesting plotline that Artyom just sort of meanders through without any real commitment.

I did like LL, but I think it somewhat lost some of the desolate feeling of 2033. Like it was in more inhabited sections rather than just wandering alone through these completely abandoned areas. That's just my preference though.

You have to use the pressurized ball bearing gun through most of the game I found. Using real guns only makes sense during the part where you’re literally forced to because of the on-rails nature of it.
It never truly made sense that the NPCs were all kitted out with pristine guns and new ammo while Artyom who is the designated point man yet also paradoxically the designated nigger because he has to use manual makeshift guns and make ammo from scrap like a nigger.

>>533291509
It was an existential threat to humanity, just like any other organism that humanity has tried to and sometimes even succeeded in exterminating for that reason. It’s suggested that the Dark Ones were another off-shoot of a hominid species, so they pretty much are going the way of the Neanderthal or Homo erectus. The difference is that in relation to humans it was very much an “it’s either us or them” scenario. The making people go insane wasn’t intentional, it was a byproduct of their existence, so they had to go. Theres almost no evidence to suggest that they could co-exist with the whole of humanity. Artyom’s partial immunity to their effects is just protagonist syndrome.

Not only have I played the game, but I’ve also read the novel.
In *2034*, the Hunter is trapped in a cycle of violence. His entire personality is built upon violence. If he doesn’t keep killing, he’ll suffer a mental breakdown. He constantly feels that in order for the people in the subway to survive, he needs to kill even more people.
In the novel’s ending, he comes to terms with himself. He realizes that he can survive without killing.
Making the Hunter the leader of a fascist state completely undermines the portrayal of him in the original novel.
Now he’s just an evil Nazi villain.

>>533297053
>Fourth Reich
This is no longer the same country. This new nation was established by the “former Russian government”—that group of people known as the “Invisible Observers.”
And for some absurd reason, they oppress their own people, subjecting each and every one to unnecessary political indoctrination.
They portray the Dark Ones from 2033 as evil aliens, using this as an excuse to continue oppressing the people of the Metro.
Even though doing so is neither necessary nor meaningful.
This is no longer the original Metro; it is merely a political allegory venting frustration at the real world.
