ELEX Pre-Release Thread

[PrettyDeadman]

Why do people have to praise this shit when there are great crpgs with minuscule budget compared to Cringelex doing much better. For example Underrail.

Because it's not a shit, but an excellent game?

First review out, boys! :ehue:



So far the game sounds like pure ELEXCELLENCE

Damn dude, Kermit the Frog doesn't like ELEX. It's time to pack it up, boys.

 

[bataille]

His own footage is from the first hour and a half of the game and then it's all from the trailers. Yawn.

Did you hear what he said? How can such amoeba review any game for a professional gaming site? It felt like 12 year old retard trying to analyze Aristotle's "Metaphisics". Aren't there any standards of retardation anymore?

Fuck it I am reinstalling Gothic 3 and drowning myself in spiced rum even though it's a work night.

Whyyyyy? Reinstall Gothic 1 or 2 damn it!

Speaking of which, I haven't played 'em in a while. Hmmm...

ed. I fully approve of the rum, though, do carry on.

I have a soft spot for Gothic 3. I really do see the best in the game. I like the reputation system, the soundtrack (especially the soundtrack), and the overall atmosphere. It invoked Morrowind of being able to go off the path and find something new and interesting. I know Gothic and Gothic 2 had this, but Gothic 3 had it on a grand scale, and it felt like everything you did had some purpose. I can't really say in words how gratifying it is to be able to go somewhere, pick up something (or kill something) and then get rewarded for it without knowing it was a quest in the first place.

This review by our own Vault Dweller sums up the rest of my thoughts on Gothic 3: http://www.rpgcodex.net/content.php?id=137

I can't believe you're posting youtube commenting on ELEX.

If anything, it should be ELEX commenting on youtube.

It's interesting that PB games which are german are more slav than Witcher 3 which was made to appeal to the western crowd.

It's even more obvious from how they re-imagined Geralt.

How I saw him after books:

How he looked in the first game:

And now...

Basically...

CULTURAL APPROPRIATION!!!

This is totally unsurprising for some reason.

Today was the start of the long weekend I took off in anticipation of this release.

Went and took care of errands and groceries, bought beer, and cleaned the house. The next two days will be completely clear for ELEX! This, my good sirs, is one of the finest feelings a man could feel. I couldn't get any more excited for this game if I tried.

 

[Iznaliu]

That is not enough. At least two years would be good.

Holeeee shit.

3/10. ELEX is bad in almost every way. It’s a poor attempt and impossible to enjoy anything outside of its interesting setting and backstory.

ELEX is unnecessarily hard. Even when playing on the easiest difficulty level I was massacred by everything. The first bandit I encountered killed me in about two hits. Twelve hours later that same bandit would kill me in three hits. Everything is so hard to kill and so high level I don’t know how anyone is able to progress in the game.

Upgrading Jax is just as painful as combat. When you level up you can distribute points across various attributes like strength, dexterity, and intelligence. This is all fine and well until you get to the meat of upgrades, your abilities. If you want to learn any sort of abilities you first have to earn the favor of the leader of whatever town you’re in.
...
That's just the first problem, the second problem comes in finding Trainers. These Trainers are the only ones that can teach you specific abilities. The problem is the restrictions placed on these abilities. First, you have to win approval, then you have to have enough points placed into specific categories.
...
The hurdles placed in the game are just insane.

Makes ELEX sound even better than I expected.

 

[Gauldur's Bait]

Quoting doesnt work, but from the above:

"ELEX is unnecessarily hard. Even when playing on the easiest difficulty level I was massacred by everything. The first bandit I encountered killed me in about two hits. Twelve hours later that same bandit would kill me in three hits. Everything is so hard to kill and so high level I don’t know how anyone is able to progress in the game. Buying new gear cost so much money that you may get lucky and be able to afford a weapon that increases your damage by simply one point. You would think that you can run away from most battles, but guess what? Enemies are so relentless they will follow you to the ends of the Earth."

Filthy casuals crumble before PB.

How the fuck is this suppose to be a bad thing? Jesus christ.

Oh yeah, I forgot that these people don't actually want to play their video games. They want to watch them. Disgusting.

 

[Got bored and left]

Sounds like it's trying to be another Dark Souls-ish thing.

That sucks. It looks cool.

It's very sad that "like Dark Souls" is the extent of people's associations whenever a game's not piss easy. I wonder what they'd say to the original Gothics.

 

[fantadomat]

Can't wait for angry pendejo to make a video and whine about how hard the game is. Watching him die to a bird in the first hour will be fun.

Elexactly. I wonder how that reviewer would have reacted to fighting Aric in Risen...

[Grampy_Bone]

Sounds like another Gothic 3. Lots of content, junk combat. Did these guys forget how to make decent fighting mechanics after Risen 1 or something?

Eh, still probably going to get it.

 

[Raghar]

You know, there are people on twitch that are playing ELEX.

It's truly hilarious witnessing the final effects of so many years of dumbing down and the popamoling of "RPGs" over the years:

- It's too hard!

- You have to actually find someone to learn new skills!

- Where are the trainers?!?

- SO DIFFICULT!

Reap what thouest have unwittingly sewn, thou casual heathens. HA!

ELEX!

That review is the single most promising thing I have heard about this game in the last three years
