What kind of shitty logic is that. I see why he wasn’t successful. NOW GET THE FUCK OFF KURISU!!!

Some time for the viewers to adore Kurisu while they still can

I kinda saw this coming, but I still went “Noooooooo!!!”

A big “told you so” moment for me in this episode. The mind hack happened and I know at least one person who started watching episode 1 again after watching this one. Even the metal upa thing had relevance like I predicted. This episode was really a good one.

Suzuha comes from the future to take Okarin back to the day when Kurisu was stabbed to prevent her death. Okarin is reluctant to stop world war 3 at first, since he doesn’t care about the 5.7 billion people dying as a result (I wouldn’t give a damn either). But as soon as Suzuha said that saving Kurisu is the means to stop the war, Okarin becomes more willing to help her. A lot of strange things in episode 1 are explained in this episode, but not everything. One of the things that are not explained is the reason why Okarin is suddenly completely alone as far as the eye can see when he sends the first D-Mail.

Even if the radio building stopped being interesting, there should be at least some people around. There aren’t even cars on the streets. Also, how did the metal upa get into the possession of Kurisu’s dad? After the first few minutes, I kinda saw it coming that Okarin is the one who stabs Kurisu. Thanks to the limited fuel in Suzuha’s time machine, Okarin has but one more try to save Kurisu after he failed.

YES! Kurisu fanservice! DO WANT!

Aww. ‘Nuff said

JACKPOT!

Cry? CRY?! Kurisu was killed. THIS MEANS WAR!!!

This episode finally makes happen what was meant to happen since the first episode. Okarin made a move on Kurisu. She has hazy memories of all the other world lines, including the one where she was stabbed. Okarin is a huge dick for still undoing his first D-Mail and effectively kill Kurisu even after she let him kiss her multiple times, which is pretty much saying “I love you”. Okarin doesn’t deserve her. Well there is not much else to write about this episode since this is about everything that happened. Oh and Okarin failed even though he removed the database entry in SERN’s database and returned to world line beta. Suzuha gives him a call and begs him to stop world war 3.

Since this episode stirred up my emotions pretty well and made me go “weeee!”, this ep gets 5/5 Kurisus:

Hunter – the man to whom you make the promise of informing the Polis station about what has happened to him.

I got this game for 10 bucks on steam and I have to say, it is worth it. Something I cannot say of many games lately. This one actually has a proper story that is fairly well presented, though more or less linear. The game itself has two possible endings, depending on how you play. I’ll write more about that later on in this post.

You start near the end of the story as Artyom, a guy that was born when the world was on the verge of destruction. Soon after, humankind scorched the face of the earth and nuclear winter followed, forcing thousands of people in Moscow to flee into the metro tunnels under the city.

Ghost-like silhouettes, trapped in the world of the living. It is said mankind destroyed not only earth itself, but also turned heaven and hell to dust.

In this sense, Metro 2033 has a classical, post-apocalyptic setting, though there isn’t much information as to what caused the nuclear war. When you start the game, you get a very short tutorial that is coupled with normal gameplay. Altough it is short, it explains to you the important stuff to know about, like how to use gas masks. Everything else you learn as you play. The only thing I didn’t realize until just recently is that the three lights above your watch indicate your visibility to enemies.

This is an anomaly. You better don’t move when it is nearby, unless you like to get zapped

Each time you are on the loading screen for the next level, Artyom tells a part of the story, which makes the waiting time enjoyable and gives you more insight to Artyom’s feelings and thoughts.

Demons – flying, deadly mutants which always like a snack

The reason for Artyom to start his quest through the metro tunnels is that his home, Exhibition, faces a new and dire threat. It is a new intelligent species they call “The Dark Ones”, since they’re nearly invisible and have mind control capabilities. As you wander around in the tunnels, you will get the feeling they are constantly watching you, causing you to have visions occasionally that can result in death if you take the wrong action.

This is one of the illusions you get that may lead to death if you act wrongly

Artyom makes a promise to a man called Hunter, an acquaintance of his stepfather, to inform Polis (another large station) of what has happened to him should he not return from his quest to save Exhibition from the Dark Ones. He did not, and Artyom fully intends to keep his promise and sets out to Polis.

Depending on how you play the game, there will be another ending available to you. Since the Dark Ones seem to be constantly watching you, you will get some sort of psychic influence whenever you do something that gets the attention of the Dark Ones. Basically, things like caring about other people (by means of listening to to their sorrows for instance), avoiding unnecessary bloodshed and helping people in need gives the Dark Ones positive impressions of you, whereas being cruel gives negative ones. If the Dark Ones have enough sympathy for you, you will have the chance to end the story differently.

Metro 2033 has very nice graphical content showing a somehow beautiful scenery (despite the destruction), a very worthwhile, but somewhat linear story, so it gets 4/5 Kurisus:

Games,
