Decline Elex is SHIT

[Miner 2049er]

You mean: Elex is the shit. However, you have one point: PB has the ugliest waifus of them all.

The combat sucks. The quests are all fetch. They literally exist to burn tiem and distract from the bad mechanics. The story is bad.A lot of talking going on, no one talks like that and shares their lifestory on first encounter. Man, like reading a book the never ends and goes nowhere written by a 3rd rate fantasy author. And this goes on an on an on an on.

You described 99.9% of rpgs here.

ELEX = GOTY + GOAT

I would literally eat a bowl of dog shit and punch myself in the sack for ELEX 2.

I don't get why codex loves Elex so much. The combat sucks. The quests are all fetch. They literally exist to burn tiem and distract from the bad mechanics. The story is bad.A lot of talking going on, no one talks like that and shares their lifestory on first encounter. Man, like reading a book the never ends and goes nowhere written by a 3rd rate fantasy author. And this goes on an on an on an on. The people in this game are all hit by an ugly stick, no cute waifus anywhere to be found. It's buggy. I was playing the game on easy and died at lest 70 times over stupid stuff.

Why do you all love such an obviously shit game?

I agree. There are a lot of casuals on codex these days.

It goes like this. There might be slight variation depending on which aspects of games are more important to you, but generally everyone things this is how is PB's quality of games (even if they'd move a game up or down here and there):

Gold tier: Gothic > Gothic 2 NotR > Gothic 2 vanilla > Mixed tier: Risen > Risen 2 >>>> Risen 3 > ELEX >>>>Shit tier: Gothic 3 >>>> Bring the flamethrower tier: (non PB games, such as ArcaniAs or G3 FS)

ELEX! lol

 

[Lyric Suite]

Old school quest design?



Never played Elex, but the above makes me want to.

Yeah, tell me abou it. Some of them are even Jade Empire fans!

Jade Empire is better than most stuff today

I took a shit on your mother while playing Elex. Rather go play Skyrim you silly little cunt

Jade Empire is a streamlined console rpg (read: pc action game with minimal options for character development and disastrous UI). A definition of decline, basically. Fortunately the game's quite short but still manages to overstay its welcome.

 

[Volrath]

I like how deadly monsters are just standing idly by not even 25 meters away from settlements or places of interest.

It's such a dumb fucking game, jesus christ.

Jetpack is pretty cool though, if you cheat yourself infinite fuel.

You are not wrong but there is a big difference between streamlined console rpgs now and then

Well we've been trying to get rid of you but apparently the Village Idiot tag wasn't enough.

 

[Arthandas]

Liking piranha bytes' games is like liking hairy armpits or unshaven legs - it's a fetish.

 

[Falksi]

I too thought Elex was pretty dull, bland, boring shit.

But now Fearguts Fagheart is saying the same, I'm gonna go back & replay it because there's no way I'm having anything remotely in common with that scrote.

I sincerely hope that's not the case and than you're just being edgy.

 

[Trashos]

Should we summon the biggest resident Elex fan?

yesterday i referenced this thread in the box and said it doesnt even deserve a pity post

not surprised to see two pages of retards catching the bait next day

A lot of talking going on, no one talks like that and shares their lifestory on first encounter.

Imagine not living in the south.

I'm not morbidly obese, they wouldn't let me in.

 

[Silverfish]

Couldn't fit you in. Come on, my guy.

I'd say that you deserve death, but you deserve something far worse:

Just look at that marvelous quest design and gameplay complexity. Someone needs to tell PB to tone it down a little, they are making it harder for the other devs to shine.

Spoiler

Fucking embarrasing when a 20 something yo game has better combat mechanics

 

[Ol' Willy]

And people who like this have the audacity to shit on games with TB combat!
