    I think Kshatriya and Spider Lair show that Metro's future is moving from its linear story-driven exploration/horror to story-driven sandbox exploration/horror.

    I also enjoyed playing the combat challenges in the Developer Pack Arena; it's what the Tower Pack should have been. Combat isn't too difficult but very tactical at the same time. And I really like being able to try every single weapon with full control of the mods to get a sense of how each one stacks up to the rest and what situations they are best in.

    The arena gets hairy up around level 8! (swamp monster AND armored humans!)

    One thing missing from the Museum is the ability to zoom in and out when inspecting each character. It would have been good to have to see the detail.

    But when I was in the Arena, it was nearly a tear choking moment with the whole atmosphere and music. It got me thinking "If only this was sandbox" I would love to go outside and explore.

    I wish there was a Metro MMO. Would be cool adventuring through the tunnels with friends and get fired at by a group of bandits. Or looting the surface and getting attacked by mutants and escaping only to run into a group of other stalkers who decided to adventure to you because of the gun fire.
     
  7. Maybe a little too late.

    Being very off topic right now


    I see you have Payday 2. We should play sometime. I've got a couple friends/cousins that play. If you have skype we can talk.

    Absolutely, this is exactly what I was thinking too!

    Also, I absolutely loved the new gun in the new gun in the shooting range, it's so hilariously genius! :D

    Anyone know where to find the combat music that plays during the last few AI Arena challenges?
     
  14. I have all tracks but one.

    Thanks Komodo! Appreciate the quick response. Unfortunately, I think the one track you're missing is the one I'm looking for. No worries though, I'm downloading the four you posted :)

    Anyone else theorizing about the absence of the Dark Ones and Artyom in the museum? My first impression is that if the bad ending from Last Light was canon then
    the Dark Ones leave and Artyom is gone too
    and that's why they aren't in the museum. I was just so heartbroken to see that, at least, the Dark Ones aren't there.
     
  17. They aren't in the museum because they never really had any working animations, all you see in the games is scripted.

    They are not actually treated as NPCs.

    So that's why those small flying bird-like things aren't there either?

    Wow, I feel kind of dumb. I just figured out that the AI Arena has four spawn points on each side, meaning we can have as much as four types of enemies for red and blue. Now I'm mixing and matching multiple enemies on each side (though 4 humans vs. 4 humans is the most fun for me).
