Combat doesn't seem as bad as I remember, thankfully. Elex 2 is still better on that front, but I hope I can have a good time with it.
>>735083507Think I saw this post yesterday
>>735083507ELEX had glimmers of old Piranha Bytes and the vertical dimension alone elevated (no pun intended) above most contemporary indie RPGs. No doubt it was eurojank but a rather quality one.Too bad they lost so many players by not explaining the basics of the combat properly. At least that's how I felt. Just something like this would've gone a long way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rS2xD9F98Kw
genuinely forgot I started playing this
Elex 2 was dogshit though
>>735088274The world is still packed and stacked with quests and stuff to find.
Elex is fucking dogshitIt made me appreciate Risen 3 and that was an awful game
>>735088634That's because for as shit Risen 3, they got some competent people still in there in charge of things like animations. It felt a lot more polished even if the combat was absolutely awful as well, and the game was boring as shit.
>>735088634>>735088720Why do these PB n-words never make a protagonist you can customize/make or a silent protagonist in general? I didn't mind Jax at first in Elex 2, but by the end when it turns into a movie and removes all roleplaying, my patience was worn thin by his yapping.
>>735086439>Too bad they lost so many players by not explaining the basics of the combat properly.Hell, it flat out lies to you regarding your attributes and them influencing your stats and that's somehow not even the most incompetent thing regarding the game mechanics and UI: At no point do you even know how many hit points,stamina experience points, etc. you actually have since all of them are only displayed as vague bars and not as hard numbers while potions, defeated enemies and the like DO display actual numbers. It's like playing a game by someone who has nevere played or even heard of RPGs before.Still weirdly enjoyed it and ended up playing through it twice.
>>735088634>It made me appreciate Risen 3I remember appreciating it a lot.
>>735089028I don't think it really needed this level of customization, just the character should be more like the older protagonists.By the latter parts of 2 (with a different voice actor than 1, btw, that's another thing) they tried too hard on making him expressive and emotional. I seem to recall a stupid cutscene where he was yelling at a fucking hologram. Oh god. I just remembered the stupid fucking cutscene where he's just roleplaying as a dragon ball character against this Dawkins guy. What the fuck was this mess all about>>735089237This was pretty funny. They gave her massive tits, but you're no longer the old protagonist, she's your sister.
>>735083507Just play Archolos. It’s the best Gothic game after Gothic 1 and Gothic 2.
>>735089802>Oh god. I just remembered the stupid fucking cutscene where he's just roleplaying as a dragon ball character against this Dawkins guy.It's made even worse when you're playing a non-magic character like I was. That cutscene kinda makes sense if you're a magicked up Berzerker though.
>>735089028>PB n-words never make a protagonist you can customize/make or a silent protagonist in general?The studio closed, anon. It's over.
>>735090601Then the pain is ogre even if I liked most of Elex 2 (chapter 3 and 4 are awful)
>>735089802>What the fuck was this mess all aboutThat came right after the "you are my genetic clone except not really and your son is my son except I'm his grandfather" talk so by then I already gave up and just rolled with it.
>>735091442Remember Caja's reaction after her son was gone?Yeah me neither
>>735091689Remember that Jax's first line of dialog after he came out of the final dungeon was him once again rambling about how confusing his dead son's genetic lineage is, completely ignoring the fact that he is fucking dead? Yeah.
>the Pankratzes formed a new company>their first game gets a demo>people already found out the big twist from it alone
>>735093441New company? The what now?
>>735093587https://store.steampowered.com/app/3440060/Cralon/And of course it's UE5 shit.
>>735093805>Shithead studio>Cralon my nuts>Janky ass generic dungeon crawler with what looks like unity assets>Cralon is at the Women’s Day Sale!I see who's still in charge over thereAt least the other game by PB devs (Rootbound) looks more like a fucking game
