How good is Metro: Last Light?

[MPX309]

I love it, it's one of my fav games, on my 4th play through now, just love looking at it. . . granted gameplay wise it's not the best, but that's what I use BF4 for. . . in terms of story, visual fidelity and just being something abit different I think it's great, the concept the ideas and all that stuff.

Metro Last Light is an amazing game. I give it a solid 9/10. You can actually, no BS, choose if you want to go stealth of guns blazing. This game does both styles right.

I think its popularity was exaggerated by numerous tech reviewers who used it as a benchmark of graphical performance. They used BF4 because it was popular, they used Metro because it was demanding.

The Battlefield games get used in benchmarks because they provide a very good "average" baseline for performance. The CoD games are way more popular than the Battlefield series. Ghosts has sold over 12 million copies, more than double BF4's 5 million, and Ghosts is not even close to being the best selling CoD game. But since they've been using the same exact engine for the CoD games since 2005, the CoD games don't offer a relevant test of performance.

I don't doubt the popularity of CoD, but are these statistics consistent? As in do they cover all platforms?

I'd add that an average is useless when we all have our gaming preferences and hence there isn't a "one size fits all" GPU solution

If you bothered to click the links you would see it covers all platforms. I did accidently quote NA numbers instead of global, but Ghosts still sold twice as many copies. 22.12 million world wide for Ghosts and 10.12 million world wide for BF4. Just follow the links are read for yourself. VGChartz is an excellent site with its main purpose being to track game and hardware sales numbers.

An average baseline is the most important benchmark to go by. Of course there is no "one size fits all" GPU solution, but the BF series is consistently optimize equally for both Nvidia and AMD, with graphics power demands that are perfectly in the "average" category. That's exactly why so many review sites use the BF games as a benchmark. If was based on popularity, like you "think" it is, CoD games would be used instead.

I enjoyed the story/setting, but I got bored with it near the end. I still thought it was a good game though, 7.5/10, and good graphics to boot.

I do apologise, but I was on my phone and drunk at the time so it's not so simple

metro is really a great game, but it scared the shit out of me sometimes i do recommend to buy the redux versions of the games, since it is a shit job to make a run smoothly & the redux should fix that problem.

& goat simulator? just pirate that shit ass game... haven't heard one good word of it
