Oi Vey....I gotta remember to NOT go into the Steam forums. It's already turning into the shitshow it was back when the first Elex came out.

And so on and so on. And the damn game ain't even out yet :/

Bunch of fucktards they are.

I mean, other than the "No wombyn PC", everything you listed there is valid criticism.

ELEX is liked despite, not because of, its user interface, visual presentation, combat system etc.

A few typos and some translation mistakes arent really a big deal for me, the overall gameplay and fun factor is what counts

the english translation butchered the story, it's more of a rewrite in a lot of areas

PB has a whole video about translating their games from German to English. As you can tell from the title, it isn't easy and they often run into problems.

Even the German original text is full of typos.

 

[Anthedon]

There's lots of typos all the way back in Gothic I/II (in German).

I have no problem with someone not liking a game, or even criticizing it. But the shit on Steam goes to the next level. It's like there's a group of people there who are VIRTUE SIGNALING how they absolutely hate it and that if you like it, you're empirically wrong and must be a PB fanboy.

It was that way when Elex one came out. Looks like it's shaping up to be that way now.

edit - honestly, I had no problem with stuff like combat, U.I, graphics, etc. I found the issues to be massively overblown.

Evidently, I'm a PB fanboy or something

 

[ADULF HITLOR FAN KLUB]

The criticism on Steam is pretty harmless compared to some other games.

Anyway, just ignore the troll threads Mauman and you'll be fine.

 

[Fargus]

So they uglified the ladies in this game too?

Caja in Elexjank 1

Caja in Elexjank 2

Not much of an improvement but still better than square jawed tranny she was in the first game.

 

[Ryzer]

Those dialogue options .

 

[lukaszek]

Those dialogue options .

thats how you talk with grillz

 

[Modron]

Those dialogue options .

Seems pretty standard end state npc party dialog options, 1 to engage in dialog, 2 for business time (i assume late game stage screenshot), 3 directions, 4 exit dialog.

Here is my prediction for Elex 3 dialogues options:
1 - Me talk.
2 - We sex?
3 - Me go.

 

[Fargus]

Leaked Elex 3 dialogue

 

[Justicar]

Dead game

Most attractive german woman

 

[Ryzer]

You know people got dumber when the average dialogue options in RPGs are on the same quality as 1 INT dialogue options in Fallout 1.

I know this isn't your first PB game. They're all like this.

Makes you wonder if they hate on games with female protagonists and no relevant male characters. I bet they don't.

 

[HoboForEternity]

using 1 screenshot as a staple for the entire conversation system of the whole game. but piranha bytes never really have that complex dialogue, but they still contain tons of choices.

I've actually had that "discussion" once with someone.

Long story short, you're right.

 

[Cyberarmy]

Playing Piranha Bytes games for the branching dialogues

 

[Kem0sabe]

Yeah, all those skill checks in Elex 1 basicly amounted to +25 exp bonuses, which is ridiculously low reward for the investment in stats/skills.
