While it's true metro LL looked amazing, have you seen the textures? They are they are pretty low res in some parts compared to the overall quality of other aspects. That's intentional. nvidia payed them them to optimize for nvidia cards, and it would be a pretty poor optimization job if they couldn't max it out with their flag ship card and amd could. 

The textures in Last Light are, arguably, the game's strongest feature. The use of tessellation and other applied sciences on the work is phenomenal. Every game has a few low res textures (in fact, Battlefield 3 is full of them), but no other game has as high of quality texture work as Last Light. Go take a look a GeForce's website, they give a full look at the game. It's the most advanced on the PC.

I've played through the game, and I love the metro series, but the lighting is definitely the best looking part of that game. It's also true that it's one of the best looking games out there. It's probably a debate between that and crysis 3, but they cheaped out on a lot of the textures. And yes I have also played bf3 (I don't see how bf3 having them disproves anything I've said) and seen the beautful 2d sprite trees. 

You missed the point entirely (especially adding BF3, which wasn't really the center of it). Again, every game has flat tetxures, so bringing that up is pointless. Every game doesn't treat their textures like Last Light does, either. Lighting is a strong suit, sure, but doesn't require the extra muscle to run it like its textures do.

In regards to Battlefield 4, you still haven't provided anything that proves your theory. I, on the other hand, gave you solid specs. 


So according to your evidence (the "recommended" settings), a 620 with 1gb ram could max out bf4. And saying that it will use less than 2gb is just stupid when many games last year were getting close (yes, even on beloved nvidia cards). BF3 can use 2 at times, which basically confirms the BF4 will. If you look at any evidence, you'll see that it's going to use more. Especially in a 3 monitor set up.
