allowing to begin attack while enemy closing in and stun enemy before their attack.

that sounds familiar, I can do that at lvl 8 even.
wow I wonder what it is

But it's not enough "Poise" damage (two-handers have a +75 modifier)

how do u know dis

This guy supposedly tested this in the cheat engine:

He should test and find out what makes Hand Grenade so good.
It's like the Best Grenade RPG 2017 ever.
I never used grenades like this in RPG ever.

+75 poise, it was in that only guy caring about Elex enough to make combat videos video.

Personally, I don't feel that much and think poise damage is overrated (if it even fucking works). However, playing with 2 hander is indeed more rewarding due to ability to grab more enemies into damage arc sometimes. Sadly terrible controls even when unlocked do not allow to use that very often. It does have a bit more reach though, allowing to begin attack while enemy closing in and stun enemy before their attack.

Well, apart from staggering more easily, when fighting humanoids you will also rapidly burn trough their Stamina with a two-hander. As attack force/enemy Parry stat determine how much Stamina they loose when hit (80/60/40/20). Not that humanoids are the greatest threat most of the time.

I just don't find poise that super useful since there are generally 3 encounters in Elex:
- 1 vs 1 where enemy is a moran (don't need poise)
- 1 vs 1 where enemy is chimera (you better just kill it in 1 combo and take a hit then drink healthpot)
- 1 vs many where you'll get hit regardless of anything you do so you will have to kite and restore stamina multiple times if you are adamant on finishing fight just with melee. hitting multiple enemies helps, but they are usually weaker versions so you rather kill them than poise break them.

That is sadly true.

looks like ELEX gives the player many tools to devise his own playstyle

 

[Zlaja]

It's ok to be an Alb.

:trigglypuff:

in game characters explaining how in game shit functions using non 4-th wall breaking language

Yeah, I miss that immersive stuff too. Like "hold the knife steadily and start cutting below the neck to skin the animal" etc. That was always entertaining.

Outlaws? No, thank you. I hoard consumables, not manufacture or use them.

 

[imweasel]

I hardly ever used grenades. But to each his own.

so a sci fy games where grenades are easy to use and deadly?
where plasma, laser and futuristic flamethrower weapons are more deadly and easier to use than axes and swords?

 

[Shadenuat]

looks like ELEX gives the player many bugs and exploits to devise his own playstyle

 

[Darth Roxor]

any sufficiently exploitable bug is indistinguishable from a feature

Our very own Ludo Lense seems to have made a video.

 

[Xeon]

Spoiler

Wait, so the thing about Ray's brother being transformed and you help him with a magic word is true after all. That's kinda hilarious and weird in an ELEX type of game.

There was a bit about the world lore or something being similar to Fallout 3's or something. I kinda like that, I think even Witcher games does that, lore and generic world building info dump shouldn't be part of a dialogue, not everyone cares about lore. It was information and you could read it if you want or just check it for exp.

Really like the video, he shows differences between PB's games and also shows a lot of information about the game.

 

[RK47]

If you ask me Outlaws should've been military remnants led by a general.

 

[Darth Roxor]

The Ignadon converter "battle" was so hilariously dumb

 

[Xeon]

Yeah, that would have been great since it would given a decent choice for the Cleric quest instead of Nasty.

Fuck you men. It was very emotional to see nameless soldiers die willingly for the free people not unlike the Battle for Kvatch.

Hand grenade or Launcher?
