Wish list for 2039
Just wanted to make a post to ask you guys what you want in the newest game. I know that it isn’t likely much will change in development at this point but what are you hoping for? What direction do you hope they went in?
I’ll share my wish list.
I hope they go back to a MGR trading system rather than the backpack, sure the backpack was nice and convenient but it’s the metro, nothing should be convenient. It’s much more exciting getting a good weapon early because you explored/took out a strong opponent.
I hope the bastard is chambered in rifle ammo again and acts as an early game AK substitute.
I hope that the weapon jamming and overheating mechanic stays but is seriously reworked. Who thought making my gun shoot slower than I can swing a hammer after firing 20 rounds was a good idea? Who thought making my gun jam after 2 shots after walking through a puddle was a good idea?
I hope that game is set primarily in the Moscow metro or atleast (A) metro. Exodus was fun and all but I really felt more like I was playing a generic open world zombie shooter than a metro game. I want linear levels in a tight claustrophobic metro, and I think they can do this well because the few dark indoor missions from exodus were by far my favourite.
I want wayyyy more spooky ghostly encounters because exodus essentially had none.
I don’t want to see a single humanimal, they were boring enemies and lazy design if you ask me, give me the og cast of mutants and maybe one or two more.
I don’t want this to be artyom. Artyom is living happily on a beach with Anna, let’s get a new protagonist.
I would like some new weapons, both old world relics and new metro specials.
If it isn’t Artyom, can we get a speaking protagonist? I don’t even want speech options just have him fill the awkward silences with something.
I know it’s a lot to ask for, and I know I won’t get it all. So what do you guys want?
