Read the whole thing, very nice thoughts. The way you describe the quest design reminds me of New Vegas, which is a good thing.

Eh..

It's hard for me to believe this is the same Vault 'All Games Without Turnbased Combat Are Shit' Dweller.
The shilling and rationalizations are:

> I'm a cool guy with muh <Insert Retro Reference to Articles of Clothing Here>
> This game is SOOOO HUGE
> There's so many quest solutions "Kill or Spare X"
> JETPACKS WOOO


I mean.. Name something this game does better than Fallout 4. Difficulty? Is shit combat considered good difficulty now?

What is with all the shilling? This is the same community that would tear other games apart for less. I'm disappointed.

Worlddesign, questdesign, character progression, loot, factions, nonscaling enemies. So roundabout everything that really matters. Combat is a matter of perspective, but i prefer Elex also to Fallout 4 personally.

this is something i don't like: all trainer teach all the stuff of that category...

why the berserker than complain even when we check the forum on the wirst iphone teach us how to fight with a jetpack?

Cormag doesn't seem to agree with the tech law though, based on what he says and having tasked me with retrieving a motion sensor from the pit. I'm starting to get the sense that the hammer clan in general disagree with the strict laws, considering his warriors are apparently okay with using the motion sensor and that cultivator's been doing illegal experiments.

I had to recover goods from a lost caravan but the animals guarding the wrecks fucked my shit up. After a few levels they still fuck my shit up. But when I came back it was night and upon reloading I noticed the monsters were sleeping. So I could just sneak in and take the goods. Day and night cycle is revolutionary I know, but it still felt cool.

Not sure why they didn't call it EELIX instead of ELEX, since that's what everyone keeps saying.

Pretty much Morrowind mixed with Fallout so far. With sprinklings of Horizon Zero Dawn and Arcanum.

Unfortunately the graphics and walking animations seem to be from Morrowind or even before.

Have I ever said that? I've always praised well-designed RT games like PST, Daggerfall, MotB, Gothic, Bloodlines, Darklands, etc.

It does everything better than Fallout 4 which is utter fucking shit and one of the worst Bethesda games, on par with Oblivion.

yes it's like that since gothic 1: also certain animals have different sleep times.

remember that and you will learn to steal even from monster den.

Have you played Nioh? It's hard to enjoy inferior RT combat systems after playing it. And Elex is not even comparable, it's like utter shit compared to the masterpiece.

Not really.. nobody actually counters anything I said.

It's just a popularity contest.

I can't be bothered to dig it up.
You were talking about how you hated PoE because it's RTwP and I think you said you only enjoy turn based games or something or another.
To be fair I was being hyperbolic and probably mis-remembered the quote.


My real point was - The combat is literally Left Click Spam to the beat of some Dance Dance Revolution.
It works I guess - but I just can't see the difference between this and a button masher like Witcher 3 or Skyrim.. which both got raked over the coals for their derp combat.

The Quest depth is the same old "Spare or Kill Bioware options" nothing interesting from the examples you showed. Then you go into all this depth about the morally grey areas and how realistic the world is.. knowing the writing / voice acting you probably dug pretty deep to pull that out of it.

TL;DR
Everyone is deep throating this game because it's not a complete dumpster fire and I'm not seeing what's so great about it.

Every post for the last 3 years that I made is hyperbolic.. so?
But now I've dared insult your golden cow (AKA the latest trendy thing on the dex) and you sperg out.

Strap Yourselves In
Looks like the codex has been infected by total collective retardation and memes made by acne teenagers not a :obviously: Codex reviewers. I am a lurker whom browses the Codex to get insight about the best RPGS not this meme shitfest. The Codex used to tear down games for way less. what gives?? I tried the game and everything about it is mediocre and has been utilized better in many different games. How is the jetpack here better than the one in prospermeda for example? The game is basically screaming of cut corners. If this diarrhea is considered the new golden standard for the codex then there has been a massive drop of standard that I failed to notice. Now to wait for the retarded responses of HURRRDURRR ELEEEX:ehue:.

I just discovered that you can, for a short while(5sec maybe), use the jetpack to shoot from up high. If you stop pressing jump after you've reached a good height and just use aim(right mouse btn), it will hold your current height at a low jetpack charge cost.

1. It is not made by Bioware.
Praising ELEX is fanboism thing then?
No. It is just a pretty fun computer role playing game. It has pretty good choice and consequence, quests, decent combat once you learn it, a lot of weapon variety for basically any playstyle imaginable, a fucking HUGE, well detailed world with endless amounts of content and is arguably the best Piranha Bytes game since Gothic 2.
