ELEX ELEX RELEASE THREAD

[thesheeep]

You could argue that using plasma rifles is just broken - and you are right - but you have no other chance as an dex/int character on ultra difficulty, you just do zero melee damage with such a build.

Did you ever play a Piranha Bytes game before that?
It is common knowledge that ranged is always broken. It is mandatory.

 

[T. Reich]

Summoning and aoe spells, too.

In ELEX, aoe is also broken AF.
I assume that when someone here talks about plasma weapons being "broken", they mean abusing the "explosive" firing mode, which makes those people cheaters in my eyes.

Former Piranha Bytes and CDProjekt RED figureheads have been developing it privately this entire time.

Under project codename: "Spacetime".

Thanks for the reminder. Had forgotten this one.

Should be interesting and certainly better than whatever Pankratz Bytes will release.

they are a totally different team? ladt interview pankratz say they are 27, i don’t think the red team is part of that 27 people.

so they have same name but a tor

I forgot to add: PB, for the love of God, bring back pointer NPCs. An absolute lack of interaction with 95% of characters in your game is just soul rending. It wouldn't be much to do, considering G1 did it perfectly already. Just give all generic NPCs copy-pasted expository answers ("where am I", "how to get to...?", "who's in charge here?") with a few voice actors/reuse other voice actors. This would also get rid of necessity of using quest markers where they're not needed.

I'm wondering, how many people who worked on Gothic 1/2 are still a part of Piranha Bytes and worked on Elex?

Very few, and most of them used to have unimportant positions back then iirc. I made the comparison once for Risen 3, so not a lot could have changed since then.

[Darth Roxor]

bjorn don’t work at PB since g1?

so the Elex soundtrack required only 20 years of work?

Elex is a terribly constructed video game full of glitches, lag, eye-sores, and confusing mechanics. I would not recommend most people go through the pain of playing this RPG. And yet, despite all of this, I am obsessed with Elex. I can’t stop playing it. In a year of incredible releases, Elex manages to be one of the best and worst.
But when it works, boy, does Elexhook its claws into me. I’m 33 hours in, and I’ve been playing it obsessively while games like Mario Odyssey and The Evil Within 2 lie in wait.

They definitely blow Andromeda out of the water.

I thought Elex was massive incline compared to most of the crap this genre has produced in recent years. At least for open-world RPGs.

Then you thought wrong.

Guys, I don't know if I should play this game or not! So here's a question: what is the level of shittyness of the combat? Is it Risen 1 or Risen 2?

There's a difference?

Have you by any chance heard of these games that Piranha Bytes made before the Risen series called "Gothic"? It's like those.

 

[CreamyBlood]

For you, I'd say not! The combat would be too shitty for you plus you need to read at a few points in the game and you've shown that you haven't learned how to do that yet.

wait a few days for 13 pages of answers

I hope they keep patching the game so I can give them some deserved money. Otherwise, I will wait for community patches.

I'm almost in the verge of installing Gothic 3 because patching should be 'almost' over.

What exactly are you waiting for them to patch? The game has a few balance issues but otherwise It's quite polished.

Well, they seem to know enough to use some animations from Gothic 2 -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BoBmNFTjCk

Is there going to be another patch for this game?
Just wondering if there is going to be another patch for this game?

Yes. Shortly.

Pls. do not ask me for an exact date (not entirely in our hands) or exact content (I don't know yet).

Lol feck. No time for patching eh?

Nordic must be cracking the Elex 2 whip hardcore.

I’m 75% sure that is coming from Gothic 1 like the running animation.
