I'm not going to give a pass for a game that cost me 50$ and let me tell you something else, the only time the AI doesn't break it's when you stay in place and not run away from them but even if you try to make some mild backpedaling they glitch out, freeze in place or go about their bussiness like nothing happened while you beat the shit out of their comrade 3 feet away. If they are not capable programmers to create an open world game that doesn't force me to play the exact way they want me to play, then don't do it and make a slightly more linear game ala Risen, Gothic. I'm sorry but I can't tolerate eating shit like some of you are, I guess it's ordinary bussiness for you folks to roll in shit every day so who am I to judge.
Also Elex was another unfortunate pile of shit that should have never seen the light of day but it was clearly a miserable failure, not even the people whole liked it even mention it anymore because it was forgettable pile of shit, it brought nothing new to the table beside taking a few steps back from it's predecessor.
Elex wasn’t perfect, but I still enjoyed the hell out of it. Also, it’s immediate predecessor was Risen 3, which was actually really bad, not good-but-not-perfect like Elex. Suck my eurojank.
As for your one video, it looks like they’re having pathfinding problems, probably because it’s such a large group. Maybe your PC sucks. All I know is that groups of three or four enemies don’t have much trouble coordinating against me, even when I kite them with a bow. I haven’t gone up against any larger groups yet.
Also, kiting is kind of the definition of an exploit. It’s the ur-exploit. Hopefully they’ll make it much more difficult with the next patch.
But if you feel like kiting enemies with a bow = rolling around in shit... maybe don’t dive headfirst into that shitpile. Just a thought.
Amen.
