ELEX ELEX II - Jax is back

[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.

14 mcdonalds until elex 2!!!!!

 

[Ismaul]

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.

ELEXplanation?

ELEXplanation!

Only one full-fledged russian invasion over innocent country until ELEX 2!

Lol, just today I've received my boxed copy of Elex 2 for Xbox Series X. The disc version got automatically updated to some newer version (I guess that there will be another patch on day 1) with over 20 GB update. I've played for 30 seconds then quit, I can wait a couple of days for an updated build.

But I have noticed that game run very poorly - it was locked on 30 FPS and with sudden movements there were major FPS dropdowns noticeable. It also looked worse than ELEX 1 on my 8 years old budget PC. What the actual fuck? It looked and performed worse that Risen on previous generation of consoles.

There was no option to switch between Performance and Quality mode in options.

I fucking hope that with the release day patch they're going to add some performance tweaks and 60 fps mode. If the reviewers received that version to play on Xbox, ELEX will fucking bomb big time on consoles. It was almost unplayable.

 

[Alienman]

Oh boy.

Is it another un-optimized release on the horizon...

It's not just console only, I have a 3070 and it frequently drops down to 45fps even on medium setting 1080p.

Elex 2 is already not doing great on Steam it's currently only 72nd place on Steam's global best selling games 2days before release. Whoever thought releasing this close to Elden Ring 2 should be fired.

That is really bad. I have the same card.

Going to buy it on launch day just to try and help raise its visibility. Really sad and unfortunate release date. Totally agree someone's ass needs a firing

 

[deama]

Hopefully they're not using dx12 so I can still play.

Need to create some controversy around the game to help it gain the spotlight.
For example spread false rumors about multiple romanceable npcs resulting in polyamory.

 

[Kem0sabe]

Elex 2 struggles to keep 30 fps on the series x and doesn't have a performance mode? This is worse than anything I expected.

 

[Ismaul]

Nahhh, performance can be patched, incline design is forever. I'm not worried about this, only D1Pers are.

 

[TheImplodingVoice]

It's almost here!!!!!!!!!!

ELEX was released nearly five years ago. It wouldn't do them any good to release it sooner and they've already spent enough time on it. Elden Ring was originally supposed to come out in January but got delayed, they can't go around making last-minute decisions based on what the competition is doing.

Not nearly enough time if they are self sabotaging the console version with performance issues.

It's an unfixable problem if they've botched the performance of a same-engine sequel released on the same consoles they were on the last time.

 

[covr]

Played for another couple of minutes. There was stuttering while running, like in Gothic 3. Not the fondest experience to be honest.

Also Jax face looks worse than in the latest explanation video, so maybe some big update is expected. Xbox shows ver 2.0.2 but it does not matter.

I'm not positive, but am fairly certain that the ELEX II release date was announced a decent amount of time after Elden Ring's, which was why I found it so baffling. Of course they probably had a rough date figured out before the initial announcement, but if games like Weird West can get pushed back suddenly for bugs and additional polish, so could ELEX II, especially in the time of pandemic push backs. I'm just saying, it may not have been a move they wanted to make, but they absolutely should have done it. Hell, I can't remember which, but I recall another smaller developer just straight up saying they were pushing their release back because they just couldn't compete with something this big.

So in the end, let's hope THQ Nordic has their back on this one, because they were probably the ones to push the decision and it's going to cost the game dearly. Even an extra month would have helped a lot.

Elden Ring's delay was announced in mid-October, ELEX II's date was in early November. Weird West is a digital-only A title (as opposed to ELEX II being AA), and with ELEX they have the logistics of boxed copies to deal with. A delay isn't as simple as just saying they'll hold off on it.

 

[Bah]

Elden Ring and Elex 2 aren't even in the same genre. I can't imagine ever playing Elden Ring -- looks like absolute shit.

 

[Skdursh]

Are there any reviews for this yet or is there an embargo until (arbitrary time)?

They're both ARPGs. Elden Ring is great, that doesn't mean ELEX isn't also, people are allowed to like multiple things. Also, why are you autisticly yelling into the void? If your comment was meant to be a response then you failed miserably at it. Try using the "reply" feature next time.
