      In the beginning when you explore one of the starting areas you can encounter a prostitute who offers herself for cheap. If you agree, she tells you to follow her into some backroom. However, there is a giant dude waiting inside who knocks you unconscious and takes all your money (it’s scripted, you can’t escape this fate once you enter the backroom).

    I like games that give you a little slap upside the head for being stupid. All things considered, losing the paltry amount of early game currency in Metro is getting off pretty light compared to some games.

      In Stray you can put a paper bag on your head. It inverts your controls for a bit. I liked that.

    I never saw that character in the game, but there are dozens of other reasons to hate Metro 2033.

        I quite liked all the people complaining about ‘unrealistic’ Russian accents, and every single character in the game is voiced by a native speaker. Many lols. Bit like people complaining about Yvonne Strahovski’s ‘phoney’ Australian accent playing Miranda in Mass Effect.

          Maybe you’re mixing up the Russian voice actors with the English voice actors. Some of the English voice actors originated from the USSR but most of them were American and they did some weird Russian accent thing. I guess that would be the criticism, but if someone complains about unrealistic Russian accents and you can replace them with actual Russian voice lines just use the Russian voice lines, they’re pretty good.

          With one exception of course. In Metro Exodus the character Sam is American and the Russian VA is supposed to do an American accent speaking Russian. That is the most jarring shit ever because it sounds exactly like it is, a Russian trying to do an American trying to speak Russian. They should’ve just gotten an American VA to read Russian and it would’ve sounded better.

          VAs are asked to exaggerate their accents on a regular basis. Don’t know if it’s the case in the example you mention but native speakers are not necessarily a guarantee of a realistic accents

    That sounds like a dick move on the part of the developers, I’d wonder if I really want to keep playing the game after that.
