ELEX ELEX RELEASE THREAD

[Haplo]

If you want to destroy your game by all means go Cleric and get black hole asap.

Cleric is fun even without Black Hole though. Never used it. When I tried it, it felt kinda meh, lacked the impact of melee arms.

Melee Cleric with a Warhammer all the way! The Cleric decoy and fake death powers make you essentially immortal and capable of trading blows with enemies. Plus you can spam a nice point-blank shockwave.

when i play as cleric i usually soften up mobs with plasma/energy rifle and then engage in melee.

Trailer for Elex is good and it does work.
What he actually doing? - creating emotional impression.
Same like primer in the cartridge works - igniting a powder.
It makes impression, an image - and that work and quite good in my opinion.
Maybe it doesn't work - for people without imagination I guess, oh well...

 

[Mustawd]

I think they just expect anyone playing to be familiar with how things work by now.
They shouldn't try to dissuade players by just making things hard, people are just going to try and cheese the fight because in most games challenging = big reward.

A level recommendation or something for those "go here kill X" quest wouldn't hurt though.

[Sarcasm] Been re-playing Gothic 1, and what it really needs is MMO-like level numbers above enemy heads....Jesus

No, it doesn't. The danger and power of the enemy it telegraphed to the player through size, appearance, location. This is a much better way to inform the player of the threat at hand through in-game cues, rather than some number floating above the enemy's head.

I was being sarcastic.

I really enjoyed Elex a lot. I think the issue with mainstream "RPG Lovers" only know Skyrim and Witcher 3. So they expect the game to hold your hand the whole time. And the moment they realise they aren't super OP from the start and actually need to learn by playing they say it's shit. Once Elex clicks it becomes really good. Most game reviewers also faggots and they scored it very low. Same with The Technomancer, it scored low and I loved it. When I saw the low review scores from autistic reviewers I knew Elex was going to be great

No, it's common knowledge that game reviewers only play a game for a couple of hours, hence games investing all time and effort on the first half of a game. Also there bigger events and more dramatic shit in the beginning. I think in Skyrim you save the world as a mage in like the first mage guild quest. This is called the unfortunate reality of the games industry.

PB created a game with a video showing the game as you can play as skyrim, play as fallout, or play as some third option. PB didn't tell anyone the first 10 hours are dialog quests, and if you don't get it, you are approaching it wrong. The problem is not with the gamer. They sold this as an action game in the videos. I personally like the game, but they can't blame anyone but themselves for the bad reviews.

Now where would anyone get the impression this is a mad max/fallout/skyrim hybrid game. Oh yeah...

But he isn't fighting in the whole trailer. He's just walking by and hasn't even a weapon.

 

[Fenix]

That mean he is THAT powerful.

Looking at the trailer now again. I have to admit that you do have a point. Trailer does give the wrong impression of what Elex is

Do you mean this?

if you look at my comment you will see I was referring to the specific trailer I commented on and not this one.

I finally picked this up yesterday and finished downloading this morning. Playing on max difficulty. Mouse and keyboard controls seem fine aside from the auto-dodge when you double tap a directional key. Jetpack is fun and good for avoiding those annoying falls when exploring/climbing. I'm planning to go full ranged/mobility build with long range guns. (if it's viable) Faction wise I'm leaning towards the Outcasts (?) for their post-apoc vibe.

I am 18.5 hours in and i am STILL having trouble fighting anything, especially with more than one enemy at a time. WTF how much longer until i can fight and where do i get better armour. I have a firesword thing that does like 100 damage but i still need to level more to get enough dex. I'm getting kind of sick of running from everything.

Watch this video, as the game does a bad job of explaining this. Once you get in this mode, combat gets tollerable, but even with lock turned off, combat is still needlessly annoying when fighting multiple enemies.

You're not supposed to fight much until about 30 hours in and you have a companion, too. That's how it's designed. Stick to small critters until you're leveled up enough and have good equipment.

I think you are making this up.

 

[Deleted Member 16721]

Not really. I played on Ultra for over 200 hours. It takes a long time before you start fighting anything "serious". You can still fight Young rats, young critters, whatever, but dealing with tougher enemies (the raptor things, etc.) it's going to take awhile. Then again I play slow so it took me a bit longer. You can kill normal critters and what not earlier. A companion is important, though.

I agree but it isn't 30 hours.

More like 1-2 hours. You fight little guys and run while gaining XP from conversations and easy quests. Lure harder enemies towards NPC's, especially during quests. Trigger as many quests and loot whatever you can (even if you're not trying to level up your thieving skills, I wasn't) and sell it.

Combat is not hard at all. Got used to it in the first hour fighting the little guys. Then again, I never understood the bitching about combat in PB games. Always was easy thing to learn, but apparently players who "get it" are a minority.
