Last Light generally seems to have been received less positively, but I don't think it's terrible.
You can no longer get the original version of 2033, the "redux" version made some questionable changes. Last Light Redux changes were minimal but still unnecessary.

Both have some odd things to them e.g: the inclusion of boss battles in LL that fuck over stealth players on higher difficulties but I would still recommend both for being SP games you can without any regret sink a fair amount of time into with a well done post apocalyptic setting.

Vanilla 2033 and LL Redux
2033 Redux is gimped in every way but performance, they "fixed" the stealth by cutting the stealth areas in subsection or giving oyu ultra easymode routes
LL is just LL Redux but slower and more bugs.
>>13709812
>the inclusion of boss battles in LL that fuck over stealth players on higher difficulties
How does it fuck you over exactly?
Even with a complete arsenal of stealth tool you still have more than enough firepower to fuck shit up, and if you really decide to go all the way in firepower (mostly meaning you either don't silence your 5.45 or don't take one at all) you really never need more than knifes and the melee takedown for stealth.

2033's a really interesting game that's one of my favorites. Last Light is a sequel made to attract a wider audience. They've since made a "redux" version of the original that serves to downgrade the graphics and introduce some of the casualised gameplay elements from Last Light into the original, and you're not allowed to buy the original version anymore, so just pirate it.

I AM ANGRY
ANGRY ABOUT LAST LIGHT
Last light is one of the worst games I have ever played. The hours of my NEET existence are worth absolutely nothing to anyone and I paid nothing for the game and I still felt like the game had robbed me and killed my dog for good measure at the end of it. It's a blatantly shekel-grubbing mashup of horrible writing, bad acting, some of the most boring shooter gameplay I've ever encountered, remarkably uninspired design and graphics that somehow manage to be excellent and awful at the same time - and as the worst offense, virtually the entire game is a "cinematic experience" on rails from beginning to end and is packed with dozens of lengthy "woah, so immersive!" in-engine, first-person walking simulator cutscenes a la Battlefield or CoD (all the cool kids are doing it!) or whatever other AAA boilerplate you want to compare it to. You have zero agency throughout the entire goddamn game beyond an incredibly obtuse "morality" mechanic that literally revolves around shit like smoking and eavesdropping and there are also the segments where you decide if you care enough to complete a Designated Sneaking Mission™ or just open up with your Terminator-tier arsenal and save yourself ten minutes of self-inflicted boredom.
Worse than Bioshock Infinite.
9b1a1c No.13710650
I understand the positives to 2033 as it's more difficult than redux and aesthetically is better than the other games but I dont see why people dismiss redux. Stealth is much easier, but your either taking your pick between easy stealth or near broken stealth. Granted it has been a while since I did a ranger hardcore run of 2033, maybe I just remember it being more gruelling than it was.

Stealth in 2033 feels real, in the sense that's it's near impossible to do right. You feel like some guy stumbling around in the dark, desperately trying not to be seen, usually getting seen. Stealth in Last Light feels like a video game. Suddenly you're a ninja and not just some dumb kid out of his element, trying to survive, which I think is what people liked so much about 2033.

All I remember about 2033 was that I found some kind of railgun or something in like the second level, and it made the rest of the game pathetically easy since it kills in one headshot and ammo for it was dirt cheap.

My only complain about LL is that the scenario don't go in the way you expect it to after 2033, it's just bland and unsatisfying all the way through. Gameplay wise it's the exact same thing If I recall correctly.

I read both 2033 and 2034 that came out way before Last Light and it's fucking obvious Last Light is a cope out made for western audience filled with hope and feel good thingy (and a major retcon) because somebody told him the first one was too bleak (canon ending being the same as the book, Artyom fucks up and kill the niggers, while all the niggers were doing is trying to communicate and are a viable solution to unfuncking the outside by cooperation with humanity).

Before doing this actually look up what the difficulty does instead of falling for the meme.
It pretty much makes certain weapons useless and forces you on the path of getting the good ending because ammo is so scarce that you'll end up losing it if you take more than 3 shots to kill anything.

In particular the catacombs come to mind where you first have to wait for a fucking elevator and a couple minutes after that you have a two staged bossfight.
Granted you can damage the boss with the scenery but not the minions which are more than enough on ranger hardcore.
Don't get me wrong you can beat them all and I did but after the sixth attempt at throwing everything not bolted down at the boss and then jump around the boss trying to knife it to death it kinda gets old.

4d6af2 No.13736767
>>13734548
Russian dub's is good for a true cheeki (IE: authentic) experience but it's worth listening to in English since the VA work is absolutely tolerable though not perfect by any measure. The subs for the game aren't much better than the dub if you ask me. But I prefer things to be nearly one to one when it comes to translations so take my opinion with a grain of salt. "Basically" if you're a purist for things, then go Subbed. If not and you just want to play a fun game go dubbed. It's not entirely like Anime where there's a small handful of worth while dubs and you can just tolerate the inaccuracies with subs. There's a level of immersion from subbed work. Mainly because you would likely be the kind of person who wants people who are in a certain country to speak the language of said country. It's preferential really.
Also to answer you're question, (graphically) it looks better on much more basic levels really that surpass aesthetics and go more into realization of the universe. Imagine the stuff you read in a book and visualize in your head. That's basically what makes the original better graphically. Graphical quality might be better in redux in many segments, but artistic style and background is much higher in the original. As an example, nobody who's been living in a sewer system for a good majority of their life is going to have full medical equipment that actually doesn't serve as medical equipment. What fucking surgeon needs a hard helmet with the red cross on it? You're dealing with people who are wounded, not avoiding falling debris. Everything else has a similar but much more subtle issue. I could probably describe much of it in detail but for the most part you get my point. I'm not even debating gameplay changed either. Stealth in 2033 was fucking tough. And for good reason. People are innately perceptive. Which translated well into the first game and often lead you into playing the first half of a level undetected and the second half a scramble to take on a majority of the enemies you were fighting. It was fun though because things unraveled naturally like the game intended because of its survival mechanics. To get a near perfect ghost run where it was applicable in the first game was quite the triumph. Especially on certain levels. If you got them you actually felt like a stealth god.

Another example of this bullshittery would be Left 4 Dead, although arguably you don't need muh immersions for a game like that, the first game was a lot more atmospheric because gutted zombies don't look like their insides are made of balloon animals, blood looks like blood and not glossy red paint, and they don't have magic glowdust in their eyes.
Additionally, you could argue that the 2-gun limit introduction to 2033 Redux is okay, and I'd agree lugging around a full set might be over the top for a game like this, but forcing you to choose between 2 primaries and a primary and a pistol is straight up stupid, especially in a game like LL where you can progress through half the fucking game before finally obtaining that one common weapon you passed up at first because "it will probably appear a lot and I have a lot of x ammo i'd like to spend first"
Put in a sidearm slot or make a weight system instead of making handguns practically useless, this would help with the QTEs when something jumps on you as well, being able to pull out a gun and have you actually adjust the barrel to its head and click to fire would be a LOT more satisfying than mashing a button and receiving free knife kills.

The Last Light engine is crap, you can stand perpendicular to an enemies vision and they won't see you in lighted areas. Grab 2033 in the non-redux version (redux uses the LL engine), it's the
closest thing I've found in "feel" to System Shock 2. Also, don't use the harpoon gun on the final mission it's bugged.

For balance reasons 2 guns is perfectly good, when you can play the game with knife & throwing knife anything above 2 guns is total overkill.
That said I still think they should've tied it to difficulty or something since even I want to goof around after beating the game through on the hardest, that includes testing out all the guns and stuff I missed on the first playthrough.
Too few games have new game+

Yeah I pirated it one time after removing it and then getting an itch again and I got the redux version, I dont recal seeing neither of the armors at the station. Some weapons that appeared later in the games were sold instead I think.

Yeah, I don't see them doing anything that'll really break the linear/cinematic style of the first two games. It'll still be linear as fuck, only differences will be a nice skybox and some vistas. I might be wrong and they actually change something, but I'm skeptic.
Anyway people need to stop associating this generic fps with stalker.

Games: So far all are good, still id recommend getting the original version of 2033 over remastered version, mainly due to some changes they did and some broken parts.
Still they also added some nice stuff in the remaster, so it's not that horrible.
Books: 2033 is great.
2034 was breddybad imo.
Currently in process ofreading 2035, so far what i have read is that Artyom is still kicking, though he goes up to the surface daily to soakup ungodly amounts of radiation while hoping to hear a signal from somewhere outside Moscow, lugging a radio transmitter on top of a tall building and then crying to the aether asking for if anyones out there.

Tbh the games are very babby tier shit. It doesn't even come close to stalker on novice difficulty for fuck's sake.

Probably. Does it matter? Basically the universe has politics pushed into it. The bad kind. And it makes a completely retarded "it was all just a giant conspiracy" thing at the end. I'm sure somebody will correct me and go into detail soon. All I know is that from what I remember, you should never bother reading past the first book.

tl;dr of it is every faction was controlled by the remnants of the russian government and all the wars they fought was just population control.

Yea pretty much that. Imagine getting really invested in a universe only to find it's all been a giant conspiracy. Pretty much deflates everything you were invested in from the start. I also remember there being a lot of communist shit to it as well but I never saved that anons post who went in detail as to what it fucked up more specifically.

If you roll with an AK or shotgun, sure, but don't expect to actually use other fun weapons even if you're rich as shit and could buy several times more than the pocket worth of bullets you're limited to.
What's the point in ending the game with 1000+ mil-grade bullets because you couldn't ever carry enough of the stuff you actually thought was fun using?
