Grab Atlas VPN for $1.39/month before the deal expires!: atlasv.pn/WiseFish
The Metros seemed to be humanities last hope of survival after the great war of 2013, but old habits die hard and as life continued on, eventually radical factions would take over their lines and force their beliefs on others.
The Red Line being one of the biggest factions within the war would find themselves at war with multiple other factions as they attempt to take over the whole of the Moscow Metro. So in this video we explore who these factions are, what they want and tell the story of all the Red Line Wars that happen within the Metro games and books.

[@richiek1155]

It’s tiring in modern games that the factions and people are just so extreme. I want two factions that make sense and I could see my self joining and other real people. I don’t want “blow up the world” or “become slaves to save the world” no. More compelling gangs and people. Real people real factions. It’s so annoying yo have to pick stupid sides

[@sovietspy8866]

I couldn't help but think of how fallout 4 just added a bunch of copy paste enemies to their game without considering lore knowing fans would make their own when I found out the Caspian is connected the volga and that's why we see similar creatures in both. It's as if the world really exists. Its never just and also theirs mutants or and also theirs spiders theirs always a good compelling reason for it. I can't wait to see what 4A and all the metro guys work on in the future. Truly some passionate stuff real art works.

[@brucekendall9873]

It's literally all an almost direct, scaled down metaphor for our actual history and how it accumulated to the modern day political situation, if you know your history and the current political landscape. How time and human behavior and history repeats itself and loops like a flat circle, or a spiral. The collapse of the Soviet Union, the west getting the better deal out of this and russia wanting the power it used to have, the rise of nationalism in response to all of this, etc. Being the most obvious vague notions of this. There are far more details, and symbolism in this story. Almost every event, battle, action, deal, important locations is symbolism or metaphor or historic reference getting across this general idea somehow. In a way your observation about these people reacting as if it was a real situation actual human beings are put into coming from an already existing place is pretty spot on.

[@brucekendall9873]

Not to mention this game I feel, gets some inspiration and aesthetics from Russian writers and philosophers such as Dostoevsky. Also couldn't help make the connection with the book title "Notes From The Underground" by Dostoevsky as well.

[@adriansepulveda9452]

Funny thing is in the book series, I was like Artyom, I wanted everyone to find a place on the surface, I idolized Miller and Hunter. Then I read the end and man. Just like Artyom I was broken hearted. They were nothing but puppets. Especially Miller and the order. He was the secret governments bitch. So just like Artyom I basically said fuck them all only Anya and exhibition deserves the surface. I never thought a book series would ever make me feel so many emotions. Truly a masterpiece, I can't wait for more Metro.

I recommend the books or audio books, a damn good trilogy, honestly one of the best series I've read and I've read a few hundred books classic included, metro and it's philosophy and journey of life and growth is up there in the top three beyond any doubt. Don't miss out, they make the games better when you play them again afterwarda

[@1989SupraGuyFIN]

While the games indeed aren't "fully correct", we still need to remember one thing: They're just adaptations of the books. And there has been slight changes to make them work better, as a games. Hence the second and third installments of the game series, that are actually telling somewhat original stories. Per Dev's opinion, that Metro 2034 (which I am reading at the moment) wouldn't work as a game. That's why they made Last Light, which in itself was (and still is) amazing game. And not to forget, that Glukhovsky himself has been taken part of writing the scripts of game adaptations (he has actually stated in Twitter, that he has begun writing the next installment of the game series). While they're not 100% same, they're still canon. For me, they're two different continuations of the same universe. Like parallel timelines, if anything.

[@Edmar_Fecler]

Exactly. And besides Last Light; Exodus mostly takes place after where 2035 ends (if one wants to mesh the 2 mediums together). so beside the first chapter’s alterations, Exodus doesn’t really contradict the book too much.

A quote from Artyom: "Even the apocalypse didn't stop us from killing one another over ideology" This line always gives me a bit of a dark chuckle, aswell as a saddening realization that human beings have and will always been doing this.

If you read into history, you'd find that people are always going to be at war. Hell, look at the middle east as a PRIME example of this. They've been at war with themselves for *thousands* of years, constantly taking and giving, taking and giving, its like an endless waltz. Its why I wonder if the only way we'll ever stop hurting each other (can't use the other word due to stupid youtube censors) is if it aliens invade (and no I'm not kidding, yes I believe in alien life beyond our planet, it would be naïve to think that we are the only species out there.)

I want to play a sort of post-Exodus game where, while the core of the Metro is doing a sort of process of unification, the periferal stations sees new waves of attacks from mutants, also new Dark Ones attacks. I loved the atmosphere of the Spartan outpost in the church in surface, in the middle of the marshes. Maybe new combat units can be raised by some of those stations. VDNKh for example have the need for it. It just lacks the resources. But also the Commonwealth of Europa that had to face the Cult of the Great Worm is a great point from where to start a cool story against mutants and religious fanatics.

Do you think you could do a video on the Spartan ranger order next?

I’ll add it to the list :)

There is not another game series that is as engaging and immersive, I grew up playing the first two on the 360 then when the Xbox one came out and they remastered them I fell in love again with a long lost memory. Then the third one came out I can’t wait to play these on the series x whenever I can get ahold of one. I don’t think there will ever be a series that I love as much as metro I cannot wait for the fourth installment

[@Kabutoes]

Damn never thought of the Moscow metro as one giant Vault Tec experiment that’s the craziest twist ever

Welp, I'm subscribed now.

[@MrMatt3046]

Very good

[@b3ar-_-m0nger15]

I wish metro was more sandbox, and you got to customize your character and have cosmetics. There is so much to offer in this game and I feel like it would be so much more fun (not saying it isnt awesome and fun as it is) if it had so much more freedom with the world and your character

The metro games and books were awesome

[@monolitwoods]

I really hope the Next METRO game takes us back to Moscow, all those unexplored stations and the uncertain future for it. To see how it lived on while Artyom managed to Escape

[@Rudenbehr]

No it should go to Alaska down to California

[@loganbuzas3966]

One mistake, in the games, the Canon ending is that the dark ones help win the battle of d6 and no explosives were detonated by the order

[@WiseFish]

Yes in the games that’s true, but in the books there are no dark ones helping, they just fight the Reds off and win so I went with that to make it more about the factions.

[@loganbuzas3966]

@@WiseFish true this is a factions video. I really appreciate your work, I've been a fan of metro since exodus and it's now my favorite game series. I hope more people start making videos, this series deserves to be more mainstream

[@danielefabbro822]

By the way, someone is making a cool mod for Hoi4 about Metro. It's damn cool. Not yet complete, but the main factions have a focus tree that is awesome and really detailed. Also units are cool and good, you can have simple troops, rangers, chariots and armored cars or even rail tanks and rail panzer. They have improved also technologies and weapons. Amazing. There's no other words to call it. I just hope they add mutants/dark ones as main treat for all factions.

[@freedomstar3930]

Hey WiseFish. Why don’t you do a video on what the state of America could be in the Metro Universe?

[@tinmen5943]

This reminds me of the events that are happening in the world right now

[@ragnarlothbrok3231]

Nice vid bro Could yo make a video where you discuss how the rest of the world would look like.

[@WiseFish]

I can try but it’s very hard as not much is mentioned. I’ll do some research and see what I can do :)
