Just want to remind that originally Metro 2033 was a nice little sci-fi novel, by Dmitry Glukhovsky. You can get it very cheap on Amazon, the digital edition too

Actually, if you havent tried it yet, you can get METRO 2033 for FREE, you just have to "like" the game in its Facebook page:

A promotion that will last until December 16th..., I think it's a good PR move prior to the release of "METRO: LAST LIGHT", next year./>

Same here, also day-oneing Company of Heroes 2. THQ is a good company who at least try to make good games, I'd be ver sad to see them sinking like that.

Well, that was some freaking great reading.. great article.. i just hope that THQ are going to stay with us in the future even when right now they have big problems.. and i don't think that the release date is gonna stay unchanged, because you know that March 2013 is the release date for BioShock Infinite.. two big unique FPS games in one month? hmmm, not a good idea - mostly for THQ
Let's not forget THQ is the game's publisher while the developer is 4A Games, from Ukraine. It's not like THQ came up with the concept and the story, they're just supervising the work of the ukrainians, former employees of GSC Game World who had previously worked on the STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl game and created it's game engine. Btw, many STALKER fans think THQ has ruined STALKER by forcing the developers to dumb it down, originally the game was concieved as an ambitious open world rpg/shooter crossbreed.
This is happening with basically all of THQ's games which is why I'm not buying any of them. The whole company is dying and rather than trying to lower prices to see if that would help sales at all or trying to lower the costs of development they are throwing even more money at games and taking bits and pieces of the game out to resell back to the consumer for more money. If they go under their last acts will be desperately trying to grab the consumer's wallet to take just a few more dollars out of it for scraps. It's why I didn't buy Darksiders 2, why I won't be buying the South Park game and why I won't be buying this. Pity since I actually like the games they publish but I refuse to buy games that do this.Sirnaq said:...
Im not even mad, just disappointed. Looks like im not buying this after all. This shit is low blow.

A very dumb move.
You have to pre-order (or, I guess, pay extra) to get hardcore mode?
Dumb. Very, very dumb.
Dumb. Very, very dumb.

It's not even "hardcore mode", i mean it's easy enough to say "meant to be played" mode. It's mode from metro 2033 that makes it more realistic, everything dies with 1-2 bullets, no hud etc. It adds to immersion. Other modes are too easy because it's overall pretty easy game, for me it's part of it adds tons to metro experience and im not gonna buy half of the game for full price. Ill wait untill THQ dies, maybe then they decide to sell full game.
This coupled with the SR3 DLC milk-fest makes me regret gifting them 15 usd. Maybe they should die if they don't know how to pull their heads out of their asses.
Guys, I'm in touch with THQ PR (since I'm admin on the Metro Last light forums), and I can tell you that that is not the limited edition. They haven't confirmed anything, and everything is still open to change. What I will do is email this thread to them though, so they don't make that mistake. />/>
I love Metro 2033 (book and game), can't wait to play this when it's released.
*EDIT* Oh crap.. this is the Limited Edition.. Here's what THQ sent me: 'This is the limited edition offer. All initial shipments of the game both pre-order and in store will be the limited edition version at no extra cost.'
So basically, there is no limited edition.

Apparently so. Of course, this mode should be included on the disc anyway, since it's the only way to really play Metro. I'll still preorder.. but I'm quite disappointed at the lack of a proper Limited Edition.

I totally agree, as do all the fans. We're talking to THQ public relations about it over on the forums, hopefully they reconsider.
