So they gave the finger to Steam and now Metro Exodus is available only at the Epic Games platform. This gonna hurt sales for sure. Man, another gaming platform to install, hooray.

lol, I know the feeling. I use discord for chat purposes already. Now I kinda want to buy a game on there too. Still, I'm waiting until the reviews release. If they're good, I think I'm probably going to buy a copy.

Wonder if they got some kind of exclusivity deal from epic owners.
It does feel like a risky move considering this is a new store/gaming plataform.

I heard they went away from Steam because they gave them an outrageously bad deal. Steam has a history of being greedy so I wouldn't be surprised if this was the truth. Anyway, I'm still totally getting the game, when I am done with it I'll simply de-install the Epic platform.

Ugh, On the one hand: Fuck steam. That platform was extremely shitty when it launched. Nowadays it is mostly usable just fine, at least. But valve (or any publisher) getting greedy just fits. On the other hand: That Epic plattform seems to be riddled with bad security, almost no features, allegedly shady side intentions (gathering and selling user data to chinese investors, from what i read) and no offline mode. No offline mode?!? I'm not going to install another stupid client if it doesn't even allow me to play my games with my crappy connection. Even Origin had a perfectly working offline mode in its initial release! Though something in the last patch(es) seems to have broken the transition between online and offline mode there as well On a more positive note: 4A posted some new videos:

So as somebody whose never played a Metro game in their life, but whose interested in how Exodus looks, would this be a good point to jump into the series? Is there an ongoing narrative from the previous games at all?

Is there an ongoing narrative from the previous games at all? Well its hard to say since nobody here has played Metro Exodus yet. But starting with the previous two games before going straight to Exodus surely would be a good thing, I think that way immersion for Exodus would be much deeper as the story slowly unfolds over the course of the three games. Without giving you any major spoilers, the first two games are about surviving in the terrifying dark and extremely hostile Metro tunnels of nuclear-wasteland-Moscow, Exodus is about leaving that area, hence the title. If you do the two earlier games first you'd appreciate the change of settings much more, as a newcomer with no prior Metro experience I imagine it would feel absolutely meaningless. Also Metro 2033 Redux and Metro 2034 Last Light Redux are EXCELLENT games, and they are really cheap on steam, there is absolutely no reason not to play them first. Just make sure you get the Redux version of the games. I actually almost envy you, being new to all three games you are in for one hell of a ride.

Oчень хорошо! Just go easy on the difficulty settings if this is you first try, the harder settings are very unforgiving.

Such a dumb immature move from such great game developers, have they ran out of Vodka or something? They made what seems a really great product and just before release they decide to piss and shit all over it. What gives?
I'll still buy the game because I'm very resistant to drama but I bet pissing off the community and that cheap cop-out of Steam for some extra bucks will cost them dearly, way more than they hope they'd gain.

They issued a clarification. It was not the devs, but one dev. Still I'll probably buy it on console as Epic Games is a privacy nightmare.

I'm a pragmatic, all this drama does not matter to me, I see a good game - I buy and play it. The Epic platform is just a minor inconvenience and possibly being called an asshole by one of the devs - well I really don't give a shit, I have been called worse things. I just think this was an illogical move mainly because many people simply don't have the Epic platform, don't know about it and don't care and they will be confused about the game not being available on steam. This will inevitably hurt sales a lot, much more than the Internet drama. Anyway:

I may disagree with the move to Epic games store as the only place for sales but review bombing previous games is the type of shit that gives reason to fans being called entitled brats, toxic or whatever.

Was slightly interested in the game. The Epic Store move was not OK the way it went down. Personally, I don't like that store any better than Steam from what I've heard. Fighting a store war on the backs of the consumers does not endear anyone to me.
If I buy the game it will be 2020 on Steam.
Likewise, if Bethesda decides to keep their games on their launchers and keeps shoving Creation Club in everyone's face, breaking my modded games over and over for all eternity, then I won't be buying any new games from them.
Neither of them is doing anything FOR the consumer.

My Steam backlog is too big and I still haven't even played the original Metro 2033.
I'll just pick up this game on Steam a year later when it's like $10 or $20.

For me, personally, I've had my epic account hacked. I've gotten quite a few emails about my 2 factor authentication code being asked for, when I haven't logged onto the account in months.
For me, that is exactly why I'm game to wait until it gets released on another platform. Its clear to me, that they are currently unable to protect their users data. And I'm not willing to risk my credit card getting stolen, for another launcher. I'm going to wait.
That said, I do hope their epic release goes well. I found another game, and I left a comment on their steam hub expressing that sentiment. I just know, the epic launcher isn't for me.
