Yeah is nice to feel edgy. You is right.

Last of Us might not be a great RPG but it's a good game. The world design in that game is definitely one of the things they got right.

Now, retards like you cannot into reason. Stay edgy.

Sure. The game's not ready for release yet. That's not a crime last I checked.

I did not say that it's a crime but they did promise to show a "vertical slice" of the game.

My only complain is that they should have released a proper trailer/footage instead of another "leak" which looks awful. First impression still matters.

But whatever ... maybe they will actually release something before gamescon is done.

Considering Risen went to shit after the first game I have no hope.

It has potential. Make it like Risen 1 and I'll buy it.

But we all know that won't happen. They are still trying to make their games appeal to the mentally impaired Bethestard fanbase. And with each iteration they get a little bit closer.

:negative:

So do I. But every other retard is capable of dishing out beautiful locations, these days. It's the gameplay I'm seriously worried about.

Specifically, will it have even the tiniest shard of "Gothic" feel to it? Or will it just be "risen3 + postapoc-fantasy crossover world"?

Hope, there is none.

The locations and monsters look great, but the robot and the suit not so much. The robot looks animu and the suit Mass Effect'ish.

Based on the other screens/weapon art/etc...it doesn't appear animu at all.

Also, I'll be honest with you men, I love the sight of all those transformer towers, even if they can't possibly be more than just big props. But they just fit so well.

oh for fuck's sake

:hype:

(and yet it will probably suck anyway)

If theres one thing that gives me hope then its the change of the publisher. Its rumored that Deep Silver was pretty restrictive with their specifications and kinda forced the AAA Bullshit like quest compass and finishing moves etc on PB. Maybe Nordic Games gives them more freedom?

Still they have to improve on various segments like writing etc though.

My team has the sexiest and deadliest waifus you can recruit.
I think Deep Silver was responsible for trying to push Risen onto consoles, despite the fact that every iteration of Risen on consoles failed miserably. Even game journo sites make fun of the latest ArcaniA and Risen 3 PS4 ports as the 'least asked-for ports ever'. You just gotta ask PB or Deep Silver why they would even bother, on top of the PC audience being their original (and more profitable) fanbase.
ELEX is seeing a console release too, so I'm not getting my hopes up. If Risen 3 is what PB considers 'going back to the roots', then PB is fucking dead, and no publisher or Kickstarter can save their remains. If ELEX turns out to be shit even if Deep Silver is not involved, it's time to stop bothering.

I think the root look anime and doesn't really fit in the art direction. But it's green no green so it might look different yin broad daylight.

Did we have that already:

There will be 4 factions (albs, clerics, berserkers, bandits).
  • Albs are technologically advanced, plasma weapon wielding ELEX users.
  • Berserkers are technologically in the middle ages.
  • Bandits get their advanced technology by stealing and makeshift improvisations.
  • Clerics don't use ELEX and are more about purity and authenticity(?) of their bodies.
Albs are the ones with the jetpack suit. ELEX will grant the user magic like abilities. The combat system will be all new and not like Gothic or Risen.

Having the albs being both technologically most advanced and also ELEX magic wielding is a bit op. And of course against the traditional magic / science dichotomy.
