ELEX ELEX II - Jax is back

[Nikanuur]

I think people who think the beginning of the game is hard just don't know how to git gud. I found it hard on my first playthrough, but by the end of the game I had mastered the melee system and on a second playthrough the early game melee wasn't hard at all.

I totally agree. On my second playthrough, being a level 5 character, again at that dreaded mansion filled with the horrible number of 2 (in wording - two) mutants, I've managed to dibble-dabble them to death abusing the awsome backstep-hardhit-dodge-backstep wombat in under 9.5 minutes, thus traveling only around 500 meters backwards! All of that under 8 tries! Technically it was 9, but my neighbors started to vacuum during one especially poorly timed backstep, and that infuriated me so much I had to reload, and I don't count that one.

Aaaah these sweet shenanigans are why we love Elex and everything Piranha!

So there IS some marketing going there. I am surprised that with less than 2 weeks until premiere, there was no preview except one (in German though). I know that PB is not AAA studio, but since November there has been nothing new on youtube except poorly done trailers. No previews or early access gameplays.
I am surprised because the latest version shared by PR dept (probably some build from mid 2021) was already looking really good and kind of feature complete. Except faces.

I hope your bodies are ready for the EXPLANATION TRAILER



Not sure why they decided to RP explaining gameplay mechanics to Jax himself though. But it sure feels janky.

 

[Hellion]

The narration is actually mostly VO dialogue that already exists in the game, but it's been intercut with new audio segments (by the same voice actor) that explain the mechanics. Ingenious design.

 

[Salvo]

Just had a genius idea: SoyJax as NFTs
We're going to make bank

 

[HoboForEternity]

Wow they actually fixed the faces. I mean some still looks kinda stiff, but they dong look oblivion derpy level anymore

 

[covr]

God no, faces are not fixed - where did you see that? Faces are still stiff like a lifeless like sex-robots from the '90. Look at the deformed eyes and general lack of expression. And lightning/textures on those faces - it is now worse in a both graphical and facial expression area than in ELEX 1.

It looks much better especially jax's. It wont look as good as bigger games, or even mass effect 2 level, but they looks much better than previous trailer it wont make you laugh to death

Nice to see that ELEX II has a proper paper doll.

 

[ELEXmakesMeHard]

I might be wrong, but I think Jax's head looks disproportionally large now. Not by much, just enough to seem slighly off.

His scarf also has a much tigher fit than before:

If I haven't played this for at least 30 hours in the first week, I will be disappointed in myself.

Fuck are you on about he looks like a cancer survivor

 

[Roguey]

What happened to everyone's shoulders? A world of weak-shouldered men now.

 

[Anthedon]

It's the opposite of Gothic 3.

Every moment of the video, faces look

 

[Cpt. Dallas]

The new plot twist is that Elex is really a mix of Soylent and Truvada.

 

[Alienman]

Unfortunate effect of ELEX. It reduces shoulder size after prolonged use.

 

[ELEXmakesMeHard]

Lads... I think I've discovered my favorite ELEX Fact! It's from the official website, so it must be one of the factiest facts.

 

[Abu Antar]

My PC just crashed. Won't turn back on again.

I have emergency ordered a console version.

I will have to troubleshoot this tomorrow. Can't be arsed to do it at this hour. Shit.

Edit: Screw it. For now, I cleaned it up. Compressed air and all that stuff. It works for now. Temperature is low. Hopefully, that is all it was, but I will still have check up on everything. I couldn't just let it be. Wouldn't have been able to sleep.

 

[Mauman]

Damn. Kallax ending stuff.

Spoiler

There's no real difference between a neutral ending with Kallax alive and a warm ending, I don't think the game expects you to ever do this. He did help me turn Zardom into paste though, so that was nice.

Anyways, I'm officially done with Elex. I've joined all 3 factions, gotten every ending, and explored every nook and cranny. Now I just wait.
