My plan for 2018 is to use the word xenial more often in conversation.

Definition of xenial: relating to, or constituting hospitality or relations between host and guest and especially among the ancient Greeks between persons of different cities (xenial relationship, xenial customs)

Origin and Etymology of xenial: Greek xenios xenial (from xenos guest)

In other words: neighbourly relations.

Why do the energy weapon bolts in this game travel at about half the speed of a softball pitched by a 13-year-old girl?

Elex is like Mad Max Fury Road but instead of an icky woman, the protagonist is a manly hero

Finaly a proper Arpg to shut up all the Twitcher fanboys.

 

[Helly]

It's the rpg we want, need and deserve. It's ELEX™.

 

[WhiteGuts]

I want to make love to E L E X and have a bunch of E L E X babies

Man, whenever I see Elex as a title of the game I see this.

A potato company selling cash registers, weighting systems and other stuff like Wi-fi internet.

ELEX is close my brothers. Are you ready to transcend?

 

[unfairlight]

ELEX isn't even out yet and I know it is better than Divinity: Original Sin 2. Divinity: Original Sin 2 sucked

That is not much of a improvement to be honest.

Shillboys Jinn and Jimmious negative rate whoever talks back against SJW Larian. Sad!

 

[Ramnozack]

How do you pronounce glorious ELEX? Do you say L X? Or perhaps E Lecks?

 

[unfairlight]

Ee-lex

Like that:



Best thing would be hearing that, when the main menu appears.

Saw this game was almost out so i thought i would give this thread a look.

So my question is what the fuck are you people going on about?

Clearly you just need more Elex in your system to solve this problem.

I THINK it's the Codex attempting to meme, but I'm not sure. Most Codex memes are adopted only after they become popular on Reddit for some mysterious reason I've never quite been able to figure out, so this is unfamiliar territory.

To celebrate the edginess, here's an animation depicting a bismuth crystal:

Look, people here are getting desperate. I've been an avid PC gamer since the late 90s, and the truth is, despite all the "decline is over" optimism that began a few years ago with Kickstarter and old game re-makes, most of the hyped Kickstarter games turned out to be decent at best, crappy at worst. And even the decent ones, they have barely moved the genre forward. I have a new PC and there is barely anything to play. Whole genres lie dead, when was the last time there was a decent RTS or MMORPG? I was on mmorpg.com the other day, they have a list of MMOs in the hundreds or thousands, and they are all absolute shit. Some were good once, and became shit, others were shit from the start.

And the worst thing is, mainstream gamers (and probably some people here) keep buying this crap, giving companies further incentive to churn out the same mindless turds. What the industry really needs is some kind of a financial jolt, sort of like that game crash in the 80s, where there was so much crap out there, people just stopped buying it. This might actually result in these companies innovating again and using the massively more powerful current hardware for something other than graphics.

I think this is what's pushing desperate codexers into this ELEX craze.

The game is the closest we'll get to Gothic in this day and age, and the closest PB has gotten to Gothic since Risen 1. This is reason enough to celebrate. All you have to do to see this is the case is watch some of the 3 hour preview that was posted a few months ago.

Even jinn like elex, how can humans deny it's glory

 

[Matador]

Dark souls is the ELEX of Action RPGs.

Yup. Risen is one of my fav games, and it looks like ELEX is going to be like it, so I'm genuinely excited. The only thing I have noticed that I really don't like is that they kept the sliding into combat thing that was introduced with Risen 2 but I think I can live with that.
