Metro 2033 BOOK ending (Spoilers... obviously)
« on: August 01, 2011, 10:30:43 PM »
"At this second, the first missile drew a fiery smoky trail in the sky with lightning speed and struck the very centre of the city. And immediately three more of the very same meteors streaked across the reddening sky. Artyom jerked back, hoping that the salvo could still be stopped. But he suddenly understood that everything was already over. An orange flame swept over the “ant hill”, a pitch-black cloud shot upwards, new explosions circled him from all sides and the city crashed down, emitting a tired, dying moan. It was clouded by the thick smoke of the burning forest. From the sky more missiles fell, and each death reverberated with a melancholy pain in Artyom's soul. He tried desperately to discover in his consciousness at least a trace of that presence which just had filled and warmed him, and which had promised salvation for him and all mankind, which had given meaning to his existence. But nothing was left of it. His consciousness was like a deserted metro tunnel. Artyom keenly felt that the light by which he would be able to illuminate his life and find his way would never appear again.
“We really gave it to them, hey? They'll know not to bother us!” Ulman was rubbing his hands.
“Ah, Artyom? Artyom!”
The whole Botanical Gardens and VDNKh were turning into one fiery mass. Huge puffs of fatty black smoke lazily lifted into the autumn sky, and the crimson glow of the monstrous fire blended with the delicate rays of the rising sun. It had become unbearably stuffy and close. Artyom grabbed his gas mask, tore it off and, greedily, took a full breath of the bitter, cold air. Then he wiped his falling tears and, not paying any attention to the cries, began to descend the staircase. He was returning to the metro. He was going home."




I thought this ending was fucking sad, but weird at the same time.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you�re a mile away and you have their shoes.

Metro 2034 does not come in english, but i can get a translated version on the internet.

IMO though, the book was WAY better than the game.

I think both books, metro 2033 and metro 2034 won gold medals, and best selling book of the year in foreign countries.

Metro 2033 sold 400,000 copies in Russia ALONE, and Metro 2033 sold 300,000 in 6 months in Russia, making it the best sellers in Russia in 2009.
