This is HYPE! You can never go wrong with a piranha byte game, Cant wait!"

Like, I like some of their games and think this looks promising, but......"You can never go wrong with a piranha byte game"......

So there has been some leaks.

-initially your character will start super weak, and combat will be hard, but you will have a companion to help - or rather to kill the monsters while you evade combat ; also you ll be able to exploit the lackluster AI to kill monsters with ranged weapons,
- there will be several factions, one “magic” driven, one range based, one melee based. You can only join one. They will have faction specific armor and weapons,
- One of the faction base will be devastated by game event,
- according to internal email, they are not satisfied by the final boss and it will be a shit fight that leverages nothing of what you learned during the game
- according to leaker art, one low level monster will be a sort of giant ostrich

Yeah clever shit. They're gonna make the same shit they've been making for 20 years and C o d e x e r s w i l l s l u r p i t d o w n

You know the drill. Even the fucking irony on all of this is used, tired and broken

Because it's still better than the great majority of shit in the genre. Changing it drastically would actually be bad, because it would likely all be aimed at a more mainstream audience. We take what we can get when we can get it. Not everything has to be a HUGE INNOVATION to be enjoyable.

(warning: gratuitous heavy metal)

Korn isn't metal, they themselves will also say as such. :rpgcodex:

Amusing to see Piranha Bytes remain loyal to their audience of dudebros. :cool:

Wow, I didn't expect the austistic screeching for the Elex sequel would have an actual result, these cries were getting annoying. As for the trailer, indeed it's as awful as that DA one.

Korn sucks but is now 1% less awful because of loose association with glorious ELEX.

they still suck tho.

Anyway, Jetpack. Fuck yes.

I mean, isn't it pretty much Codex's motto to want all game companies to be doing the same things that were made 20+ years ago? Just give it a coat of paint to make it look new enough and change a few decorations here and there, and done.
