I chose to get Sam home in the end. The man has been through hell for 20 years and I feel like he deserved it. It would be nice to get a spin off game that follows Sam's journey through a post WW3 America.
And every S.T.A.L.K.E.R Game takes place in Chernobyl, it’s all about series identity, which is why I always had a hard time loving Metro Exodus, because it abandoned one of its most identifying features. Not even the Book dared to venture too far from Moscow, and when it did, it ended.
@@quarkedbutt3957 nah, fallout is nothing like metro, but I cant wait to play stalker 2, I've never played the first one though I'm aware of its renown
Sam was my second favorite spartan falling short only to the wisecracking hilarious ulman who tragically died in both endings of metro last light!! Oh i wish he couldve been in metro exodus
Who doesn't love Ulman... He was amazing... *shows up at Polis with Artyom in a raggity ass railcart* (Surrounded by about 8 to 12 fully geared rangers with NVGs pointing guns at them) Guard: "Halt, who goes there! Identify yourselves or we will shoot!" Ulman: "oooh we are nazi's come to take over your station!" 🤣🤣🤣
I think that if Sam makes it to California it will be a similar set up as the Shi. Build a settlement around the submarines ability to produce power but not overextend themselves so far
@@colemanwalsh7477 yeah if you choose the bad ending, the good ending hinted at the book in 2035 that there was a plane and thats it. Sam could maybe use that plane to reach America.
@@minefromblackmonday I wouldn't really call trusting tom the bad ending as in my opinion he honestly doesn't strike me as the type too use the nukes. Maybe more like traditional pirates smoke and mirrors show of force but no guns actually fired
This DLC needs a sequel. Not only it was a great piece of content, but Sam's character is also interesting enough for a sequel. It's not common for a side-character to be as good when you have such a defined protagonist on a franchise like Artyom...
I hope and pray Sam'sstory is not over. If he sank the sub I hope he can make it to the Bearing Straits which or which are only about 60 miles wide with islands to reach my small sailboat. I doubt I am alone in supporting a continuation of the world of the Metro Saga.
Sam is my favorite Spartan! Thank you so much for uploading this, as I want to know so much more about him as I think he'll take over as our main protagonist in the next entry (Hopefully) keep up the fantastic work!
Sam was my second favorite spartan falling short only to the wisecracking hilarious ulman who tragically died in both endings of metro last light!! Oh i wish he couldve been in metro exodus
For true Sam experience you should play with Russian audio, you can hear how Sam's Russian is so bad, while in English version his English is perfect but other have accent
@@acekoala457 Yup i went full metro experience Russian audio and almost no interface, there is one problem tho, if you are far away from bandits you can hear them but English subs won't show, so if you don't know Russian you won't know what thy speak, it's little annoying i must admit
@@drteska97 kind of immersive though. If you’re an American playing an American in a Russian game, hearing slivers of faded Russian voices would be hard to understand
Waaaaait this is about sams actual life!? I don’t think anyone made a video about him! Sweet he was one of my favorite characters in Exodus plus he’s voiced by the same actor as Dempsey from Nazi zombies what could be better!
….it’s Steve Blum, guys. Very talented voice actor….Tom from Toonami, Cowboy BeBop, Samurai Champloo, Regular Show ffs!! Sorry not trying to be a jerk, it would bug the hell out of me if someone only knew me from CoD…I mean, he probably doesn’t care, but still lol
As much as I wanted Sam to get home, I can't help but to think that Sam would blow up the sub. After seeing how much Artyom and Miller sacrifice for the greater good; I like to think Sam would honor their example. There was no choice in the end, the world doesn't need another apocalypse.
Could you do a video on Bourbon? I know there isn't a whole lot of info about him since his role is so small, but a short video about him would be cool :)
I like to imagine in a future sam spin-off metro game his story would be similar to one of dmitry glukhovsky books the outpost (takes place in the metro world but in new York)
i really wana know what happened. Is destroying the Sub canon or does Sam get a ride home. I doubt they’d take us to America but if Sam did make it, 4A games could have a secret radio signal from Sam telling the Group of the Aurora how America is and if he found is father. That would be nice
So the thing about Americans still existing. I think during the Caspian part of the main game o think there's a post war log where it's mentioned that satellite images show that cities in America still have running power because they are lit up at night
I mean honestly 20 years after the bombs went off it’s more then likely the rocket fuel for the nukes in the submarine has gone bad. Besides we know that there are other locations like D6 that still have nukes. Tom having a few nukes really wouldn’t make a difference in the grand scheme of things. He might threaten people but realistically he’d also put himself at risk. Ssssooooo……
I love this DLC so much, I have already beaten it twice and would love to play it again. That badass background music you hear during Batwing boss fights👌
Love the video man! i need more metro content. Can you do a series on metro characters please? like i'm curious as to where khan is after the metro 2034 game.
i already commented something like this before this post but i think you should cover a video on khan and what we know about him and how or even what he is, i think it would be interesting
Awesome vid! Having only seen gameplay and not playing the games myself I was thoroughly confused why one of the Spartans had an American accent. XD Great explanation and backstory for this awesome character. Well played.
Dude I wish we could get a spin-off series of Metro Exodus and have a full on American Metro, it be cool and interesting to see how that would be like.
I still dont understand why they tried to show the golden gate when Sam was from San Diego. San Fran and San Diego are several hundred miles away from each other.
Though it broke my heart, I let Sam go home. Besides being in good graces with the arms dealer means he could probably get a trip back to return to the spartans if he finds post America no longer feels like home anymore. After all, home is where the people that care for you are isn't it? I'd like to think if Sam doesn't find his father, he returns to Artyom and rebuild the Ranger order to free the Metro from the control of the shadow government.
through my playthrough of Metro Exodus Artyom died n so did Miller but Sam made it back home and hopefully lived on in san francisco or what's left of it
In honest, I guess Sam would blow the sub, why so? Well, he cared for the Metro people enough to wanting to get them out of there, also, bring nukes to his home isn't a good idea. Either way, I guess he would eventually come back home, the snowy bridge shows he still around after blowing the sub for quite some time.
One thing i'm curious about could sam in the blown up sub ending go north and use the diomede landbridge in the winter in the lore? Or is that point to dangerous to reach or something?
You know what I think, I think America did the same as Metro Central command. The US is jamming communication, I find it hard to believe there’s only 1 settlement in the US remaining. If I had to guess, that’s the settlement with possible pre war American government jamming all communications to the rest of the world.
Is there any spoilers in this video? Because I just started playing this game and I wanna know if I should wait until I finish the game to watch this video.
A certain percentage of the government, yes. They're scattered all around Russia. After 20+ years though, not much would be left. Some would probably stick it out like Hanza, continuing to operate the jammers and keeping radio silent with the outside, but most would fall apart like the cannibals or splinter off into new factions and government.
Okay guys I get it, he’s not a soldier he’s a marine! Bit of a mix up in my wording. But regardless I hope you all enjoyed :)
We refer to them as the same thing most of the time in America, I wouldn’t sweat it
@@smoek2285 Marines correct you every time lol, Semper Fi
Lol
He’s a Marine
First to fight, he’s loyal 👏
Honor, courage, commitment💪
Corps Values, Semper Fi😤
Oorah,
He’s a Marine🇺🇸
Army buffs going to hate me for this
Soldier makes it a more dramatic while it’s understandable Marines can do this
I chose to get Sam home in the end. The man has been through hell for 20 years and I feel like he deserved it. It would be nice to get a spin off game that follows Sam's journey through a post WW3 America.
I doubt if the creators will change the country of events because then there would be many comparisons with fallout
@@Mimi-vw6yi Solid point,as I doubt a Fallout game will ever take place anyplace but America. Like an unwritten rule for both series,I guess.
And every S.T.A.L.K.E.R Game takes place in Chernobyl, it’s all about series identity, which is why I always had a hard time loving Metro Exodus, because it abandoned one of its most identifying features. Not even the Book dared to venture too far from Moscow, and when it did, it ended.
I also want prewar weapons and bullets to make a return along with a conclusion to how the sub will operate considering Tom is somewhat rocky.
Basically play Fallout New Vegas
My favorite part was when he got drunk with captain, I was laughing so hard haha, Sam is amazing Spartan, loved his accent, amazing dlc.
SAM why won’t you drink???
“Haha Ed I’m over here!”
Whaaaaat there are two of you???
@@willhall796 “ED, I’M BLIND”
“Your not blind, your sleeping face down”
I was chugging beer with them during that whole scene. Fuck that was a great time.
Did anyone else have problems with some voice lines playing wayyy too early?
"and there are 50 foot robots with nuclear reactors shoved up there asses" - sam
my favorite voice line from sam
Is that a Fallout reference?
@@quakethedoombringer yes it is a reference to liberty prime
feels more like a Call of Duty black ops 2 reference due to those wwi german 50-100 ft robots xD
I really loved his dlc honestly. Almost makes me wish for an American metro game.
Fallout lol, i prefer stalker over both of them tho
There's a canonical comics in the Metro universe in America called Outpost
Play fallout 4 with a bunch of mods lmao
@@codeinecowboy8607 already am
@@quarkedbutt3957 nah, fallout is nothing like metro, but I cant wait to play stalker 2, I've never played the first one though I'm aware of its renown
The endings of Sam's Story are so strong and impacting, leaving some emotional aftertaste
I like how there isn't necessarily a "good" or "bad" ending, it's what you think is the best option
Sam was my second favorite spartan falling short only to the wisecracking hilarious ulman who tragically died in both endings of metro last light!!
Oh i wish he couldve been in metro exodus
ulman is my favorite character he was amazing he was a spartan too so it would of made sense for him to of come along the journey on the aurora
@@DemilitionKiwi and his constant joking adding commentary driving miller nuts
Who doesn't love Ulman...
He was amazing...
*shows up at Polis with Artyom in a raggity ass railcart*
(Surrounded by about 8 to 12 fully geared rangers with NVGs pointing guns at them)
Guard: "Halt, who goes there!
Identify yourselves or we will shoot!"
Ulman: "oooh we are nazi's come to take over your station!" 🤣🤣🤣
Millers gonna tear me a new one for this for sure ! A redhot poker right into my soul, if I still have one that is.
I think that if Sam makes it to California it will be a similar set up as the Shi. Build a settlement around the submarines ability to produce power but not overextend themselves so far
Fallout reference
Sam did make it to cali if you played the dlc
@@colemanwalsh7477 yeah if you choose the bad ending, the good ending hinted at the book in 2035 that there was a plane and thats it. Sam could maybe use that plane to reach America.
Metro games outside of Russia would be interesting. Western europe, China, japan. Alot of potential.

Sam's story proves metro can work without a silent protagonist
The Two Colonels did it pretty well too
We all love metro. Maybe you could make a video analysing the metro map in great detail, i would so watch that.
I hope and pray Sam'sstory is not over. If he sank the sub I hope he can make it to the Bearing Straits which or which are only about 60 miles wide with islands to reach my small sailboat. I doubt I am alone in supporting a continuation of the world of the Metro Saga.

@@aaronwhipple512 perhaps but where would they go with him? He’s basically had his good ending now, and there’s still a lot going on with Sam.
For true Sam experience you should play with Russian audio, you can hear how Sam's Russian is so bad, while in English version his English is perfect but other have accent

This was very interesting to me as a former submariner. Judging by the profile of that submarine, its a Typhoon class. Very cool!
Yeah, it is Typhoon (Akula) class, and considering the current state of these rustbuckets, the chance for them to be still operational is exactly 0%.
Waaaaait this is about sams actual life!? I don’t think anyone made a video about him! Sweet he was one of my favorite characters in Exodus plus he’s voiced by the same actor as Dempsey from Nazi zombies what could be better!
That explains why he sounded so familiar 😅

Sorry not trying to be a jerk, it would bug the hell out of me if someone only knew me from CoD…I mean, he probably doesn’t care, but still lol
What if Sam enters California but then realized it’s run by a Government called the NCR.
We’d gladly welcome a former US Marine into our ranks.
And that there is a madman who loves julius caesar a lil' too much
Sam gets back to California and "greeted" by people in brown uniform, bearing 2 headed bear coat of arms.
AH! Nice slip-in of the iconic FNV reference! LOL! Excellent video!
Glad you noticed haha
Patrolling the Mojave Almost Makes You Wish For a Nuclear Winter
glad you talked about this Marine and Spartan hero. his DLC is really great

Hopefully we see more of sam in the sequel for exodus
Not a soldier .... he’s a damn United States Marine he is the legendary “terminal lance corporal”
Lol good vid bro
He puts a new meaning to the term "Lance Corporal Underground"
Can you do a video on the electric anomaly balls?? There’s not a lot of videos explaining in detail wht they are
Mainly cause I can’t find any info on them haha I’ll try my best

Your next metro video should be on the volga cultists/faction. And the oil barons faction of caspian.
Can you also do a story about Khan? A really mysterious person that guy is
Thank you for the amazing joke at the end there. Turned my mood in the right direction👏😁❤
Amazing thanks for doing these lore videos on metro love em
I hope you do more lore videos on the metro universe. These have all been very good
I want to do more but I’m running out of topics that actually have background lore lol
sam story will be countine in fallout .
I hope they continue with Sam for the next metro game.
Legendary video as always :D
My new favorite lore commentator releases a new video! Thank you good sir
This RUclips channel is brilliant, it covers all of my favorite games and more. Wonderful production value and humor lol. Cheers

Ahhh thank you for making this video, waited for this video
@21:40 I was waiting for it thank you :)
I loved Sam's story. Full of one liners and an amazing adventure.
Can you make a video on what happened to the people who stayed in the metro
I wonder if we'll ever get a alyosha dlc. Great video by the way.
The scene where they're drinking and smoking in the red curtain room looks straight out of FO4 it was eerie
Yeah Sam's a marine, 'OORAH!' Good video OP, interesting.
So happy i found your channel keep it up!!!
Great story, keep doing this format of videos

Sam could always get to the US then blow the charge once he's off.
Mean while in USA：using cap for trading and drinking nuka cola。
Patrolling Siberia almost makes you wish for a Nuclear Summer
Fun Fact: Sam is a badass CQC expert.

@@AxisChurchDevotee a soldier is from a army, a marine is from a marine corps, duh

As a Russian-American I'm all about Sam. He is stuck inbetween two worlds in conflict with eachother...just like me.
Can’t believe he didn’t even mention the two brothers and their feud.
Hahaha the insane fishermen? I wanted to but didn’t really fit the story. They are great tho
@@WiseFish How didn’t they fit if it was a part of what happens during Sam’s travel? Besides it was nice how it ends given Sam’s goal of his family.
@@ulyssespulido9556 fair point. My bad
@@WiseFish Still the video is good regardless. I had to do a double take when you mentioned New Vegas. Thought the two were connected for a second.
I love the fallout new Vegas reference
And then sam goes to new vegas and blows up new vegas with a big iron on his hip.
Were the cannibals in the yamantau bunker also Russian government?
A certain percentage of the government, yes. They're scattered all around Russia. After 20+ years though, not much would be left. Some would probably stick it out like Hanza, continuing to operate the jammers and keeping radio silent with the outside, but most would fall apart like the cannibals or splinter off into new factions and government.
