ELEX ELEX RELEASE THREAD

Feinting literally does not work. Basically half the combat features are pointless. Ignore feinting and combos, and just master strike everyone to death or walk up against them to force them in a clutch, spam M1 and strike them for as many hits your stamina allows. It's literally the only way to force high level enemies out of a defensive position.

Or you could just use bow and kill them from afar. By the end you will be killing the strongest monsters in 2-3 shots,albs for example are one shotted.

Your basic melee attack comprises of comboing and dodging/rolling. It takes a bit of practice, but comboing works very well and does tons of damage.

This is the Elex and not the KCD thread.

The world designers did an absolutely fantastic job on Elex.

 

[unfairlight]

They did. Elex's world was a joy to explore and didn't feel repetitive at all. Ignadon and Xacor were a bit underdeveloped, but the areas surrounding Xacor were great. Whatever workflow the world designers have in Piranha Bytes must be fucking crazy, because I don't know what German magic they are utilizing to make these worlds in 2-3 years.

A lot of experience mate,some part do feel like they are from another of their games. For example Jack the light keeper was in every single of their games....except maybe not in the first gothic.

As far as I know it's mostly one guy doing the world design.

Finally got this game and finished it in a week or so. Elex is very good and 100% Gothic. By far PB's best game since the originals.

 

[Moink]

Started this game a couple of weeks ago and hated it so much I uninstalled it, reinstalled it a few days ago since my friend was nagging me and ended up loving it, played around 30-35 hours in 3 days and just finished it, I hope Jax improves his flirting power in the sequel though.

 

[Yosharian]

I had to stop playing temporarily because my carpal tunnel flared up

 

[Thalion]

The world designers did an absolutely fantastic job on Elex.

Agreed. There were a few areas that were lacking story content but I still found myself exploring them anyway.

 

[abnaxus]

Pity they fixed the sunglasses bug.

 

[fantadomat]

Pity they fixed the sunglasses bug.

What bug are you talking? If it is about the 10 armour then that was "work as intended".

 

[fantadomat]

Yeah i am serious,somewhere i read that devs wanted to give a hidden bonus for being a badass and going for the glasses. Now they change it to give a different visual highlight effect on a few different sunglasses. This one were pretty useful on my replay:

30 hours in and I don't know why you cannot put markers on the map. Without a doubt the most annoying thing about the game for me.

 

[Abu Antar]

I do know that you can have one marker on the map.

how out of touch with reality one should be to cross from one extreme to the other?

wanted to rate 'nice' but missclicked into 'up yours'

that's... strangely appropriate

 

[Raapys]

PB have always been amazing at game worlds, specifically the terrain/landscape/locations. All the Gothics, Risen and now ELEX. Not sure exactly what their trick is, but it's something neither Bethesda nor anyone else have managed to replicate. Maybe other devs just rely more on heightmaps.

 

[oldmanpaco]

Yeah but it would be helpful to mark locations you need to come back to when you will not get raped.

 

[Grotesque]

German porn expands consciousness.
German porn is vital to good world design.

Ignadon (not counting Hort itself, which is cool) has almost no quests whatsoever, and the ones it has are shit like "tag 5 shrines" or "kill 5 bots". It also has the least (none?) of those secluded quest setpieces like the dam overrun by bandits or the farm harassed by clerics (both in Abessa). As I mentioned multiple times before (including in revio) you could axe all of Ignadon, leave only the Hort, the mountain pass leading to it and the cleric forward outpost in the old castle, and you'd lose nothing of value.

Forgetting the THUNDERDOME are we? That's in Ignadon and part of the main quest if I'm not mistaken.
