ELEX ELEX II - Jax is back

[rusty_shackleford]

must not have been very important because I don't remember that at all

It was MAJOR curve throw against you by the plot. Also reason why main character didn't have kill switch.

Was it handled differently in the English localization or something?

 

[Raghar]

Differently? Was German original released with different story?

 

[Grampy_Bone]

I had an issue where the game started tripping out and shaders would bleed everywhere like I was on acid. Kinda cool but not helpful.

My grafix card also likes to sit at 99% for these ps3-tier visuals so I turned down the refresh and forced vsync on to try to cap it off.

I've seen examples of the German dialogue being much different than the English one.

I actually had character with neutral ELEX level, and doing berserker faction. Perhaps with high ELEX level or different faction the main character wouldn't care.

well after some consideration, i decided to put this one off and wait for patch. like I am enjoying this very much so far but I figured I would enjoy this game more once the FoV is fixed, so I just bought elden ring and play that one first.


i am not expecting the performance to be significantly fixed (at most a downgrade) but I am fine with current performance as I play it on TV plugged to my PC. but with FOV fix I would enjoy the game significantly more

This is the actually traversable terrain in the game, spoilered because it's a map of teleporters as I couldn't find an unmarked map

forgot to add, this is how many healing potions I have now:

Again, I haven't purchased a single one.
From left to right then bottom:
+100% HP, +200 HP(which is 91% of my total HP), +100 HP, +60 HP

faction quests are probably the best game has to offer
and like always, main quest is alright tlll chapter 3 then it's a steep decline, jesus fucking christ it gets boring they couldnt help themselves

I'm enjoying this more now that I've gotten around. The village tours and cross country treks are a sneaky way to handhold the character into exploration. Also, the companion quests will often airdrop you someplace distant and give you a chance to find a teleporter without walking. Hoarding has turned up to 'eleven' now that I've found the shades. At least two of the faction joining quests overlap, so you're asked to infiltrate one to join the other.
Performance in my rig is fine. Ryzen 5 and 1660Ti, HD, high. No issues at all.

Edit: they changed the Elex potion formulas too, no combining , unless I've missed a 2nd formula somewhere.

Making jokes about how pathetic you are as a studio isn't endearing.

What's you guys opinion on Melee vs. Dakka?

I usually find Melee more rewarding, but I'm not at the point yet where floating-melee becomes possible (or even necessary?).

Having second thoughts on whether I'd enjoy that.

As much as I love ELEX!!!!! , I couldn't possibly imagine a Piranha Bytes that manages to implement a mid-air melee combat well.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

mid-air ranged doesn't even work well
90% of the time the enemies just run directly below where you're floating in the air and you can't shoot them because the game doesn't let you aim directly down

I am playing elden ring and call me crazy the foliage and terrain of this game looks better than elden ring.

The real derp is the character models really

terrain actually looks pretty good, foliage looks derp to me though so I turned it off
there's a bug with shadows on buildings, you can see it in roxor's screenshot here:

or else they'd look decent too
also, on any of the antialiasing settings I still have tons of jaggies

Elden Ring takes inspiration from Breath of the Wild and Shadow of Colossus. It was bound to happen but it is still quite a pretty game.

And water effects are great as well. The way it moves around obsacles or speeds up and slows down.

i am now resolving each fight by the following winning formula:

roll back -> speshul attack forward -> repeat previous two steps until nigga runs out of stamina -> coup de grace -> repeat process until desired effect is achieved

of course two problems with this winning formula are that the hitbox on the speshul attack is rather floaty (lags don't help either) and that jakusu loves to get stuck on every single fucking prop he rolls into

i cant even with this dumbass combat

 

[lukaszek]

when you do special air attacks enemies go nuts and start equipping bows even in melee range with you on the ground. Even when you keep slashing them. It doesnt interrupt draw bow animation or anything like it. Normally enemies switch to melee when you get in range


Any one noticed quest density for various factions? In zerkers territory almost every npc is named and got quest for you. Meanwhile you can run around outlaws and there would be close to nothing.

sounds like brilliant tactical positioning on the AI’s part

So what's magic like in this one?
