Decline Elex is SHIT

[Feargus Jewhart]

I don't get why codex loves Elex so much. The combat sucks. The quests are all fetch. They literally exist to burn tiem and distract from the bad mechanics. The story is bad.A lot of talking going on, no one talks like that and shares their lifestory on first encounter. Man, like reading a book the never ends and goes nowhere written by a 3rd rate fantasy author. And this goes on an on an on an on. The people in this game are all hit by an ugly stick, no cute waifus anywhere to be found. It's buggy. I was playing the game on easy and died at lest 70 times over stupid stuff.

Why do you all love such an obviously shit game?

Nobody here likes Elex.

 

[Seigneur Locklear]

It is very mediocre. Though mostly not for the reasons you mention. Looking for a quality story in Piranha Bytes games is on par with seeking a chicken with a pair of boobs. Futile and your dick won't be getting erect anytime soon.

everybody here likes elex

 

[Alpharius]

Cause its an open-world rpg done right, like Gothic (though Gothic 1 and 2 were much better).

Elex is a prime reason on how to botch your initial formula and do the concept of an open world poorly. It was too big for its own good, it lacked actual variety and uniqueness and overall felt very generic. Risen and Gothic 2 are the standards of quality. Hell, you could make a far better case for Gothic 3 as well, because of its atmospheric, sublime qualities but Elex falls short in nearly every single department of open world.

ELEX is probably too old and hard core for you. Sounds like more modern games would cater better to your taste.

Fake news, the game is FULL of barefoot women.

yes, thats consent. i hope someone does it now.

 

[MightyHoax]

I wan't want to love it, but it's just a boring game. Have started multiple times, but it just don't work for me. It's the setting/world.

EDIT: typographical error

Because it's the best RPG and possibly best overall game released in 2017? What a dumb question.

 

[Terenty]

I propose banning all the motherfuckers shitting on Elex in this thread

 

[Trashos]

Should we summon the biggest resident Elex fan?

 

[Multidirectional]

I enjoyed it but it's nowhere near as good as Gothic 1/2 and Risen 1.

ELEX is more of a local meme than anything. The only good thing about it is the traditional free-form world design (go anywhere, when you want), otherwise it's pretty shit.

ELEX feels janky, console UI, outdated graphics, bland factions and mediocre MMO-tier crap loot. A 50€ mediocre console RPG that would have been shat on and torched under normal conditions (if not for the post-Renaissance drought).

 

[Grampy_Bone]

It has a jetpack tho

 

[overly excitable young man]

ELEX is the 3rd best pb game after G1 and 2 and has the second best combat in pb games after Risen.

It's fucking great and op should swallow aids cum.

 

[JarlFrank]

ELEX has top notch exploration and only falls apart at the end, but then every PB game does that.

The weird post-apoc modern world fantasy hybrid setting helps in making it interesting, and exploring crumbled ruins of brutalist concrete buildings is very cool. The jetpack makes exploration even cooler since you get to do a lot more vertical exploration. In many places, the level design makes good use of verticality to encourage the use of the jetpack.

Good game.

There is actually nothing weird about it, Morrowind is weird, this is just sewn together plastically and factions are very bland and straightforward

BEHEAD THOSE WHO INSULT ELEX

This also goes for Gothic though. PB has never made a good game. They came very close with Risen 1.
