ELEX

*chuckles*

THEY.... THEY.....

*starts laughing uncontrollably*

THEY ACTUALLY THOUGHT....

*almost dies from laughing*

THEY ACTUALLY THOUGHT THIS WAS THE NEXT GOTHIC!

*dies*

Press f to pay respects

What was so bad about it?

PB thinks all of their next games are Gothic.
I wish this fucking company would finally die.

Germans and other autists will keep buying their games so wont die in the foreseeable future.

ELEX was actually decent though? what the fuck are you on about?

My gripe is a poise system which punishes aggressive play combined with a stamina system resulting in boring combat where you have to jetpack up to regain stamina during fights. Add in mobs with infinite stamina and you get an otherwise good combat system ruined by odd design choices.

Is it difficult though? Is it the Dark Souls of ARPG?

>was
did you already beat it?

You have to use aggressive play unless you're playing on a babby difficulty, as you need th bonus damage from long combos and special attacks
>Jetpack up
Jetpacking to recovery stamina is often a dumb idea as the landing recover from jetpacking is often all it takes for an enemy to land a ranged attack for free

Why are they making a game where you hate the gameplay? I was pretty hyped to go to the first big city, but everything in this game tries to say "STOP PLAYING YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME"

Sup Forums beat it ages ago, it's 5/10 and blunder of the year

you sound weak willed

That's true, but it's hard to get a hit in when a scavenger doesn't even flinch from an axe. Granted, the pc can also truck through some attacks but it just makes for unavoidable damage and messy combat. Risen 3 was much better in this regard. The only problem there was that the ai was downright stupid. And why did they butcher the old lock on from Risen 3? I now have to press x and cycle through targets with z and c.

memes aside is this game any good

>kiddie shit
>GOTY

Hurtful Hernandez review when?

it's medicore

Jesus he got fat if that's what he used to look like
Dude needs to cut some carbs or something jesus
>Jacket zipped up
Yeah that's not happening anymore

I'm enjoying it quite a bit. I knew exactly what I was getting into when I saw it was a Piranha Bytes game. I was expecting goofy science fantasy Gothic and that's pretty much exactly what I got. My only real complaint is that the lockon system is kind of fully retarded.

...

evade is a simple roll in elex, just like in any dark souls game
guess dark souls are shit games too, huh?

>googles a hat in time
>pukes

goty my ass goty
shrek 2 the video game looked better than that shit

Not him, but Dark Souls is in the exact same category as PB games as far as nieche cult games go. There are a ton of technical problems with them and there are a lot of quality of life things that the devs refused to include, like a simple pause function, because they thought it would be "le funneh xD". I dropped DaS1 when it came out because of that and only picked them back up two years ago.
It just happened to be more appealing thanks to being multiplat and the difficulty meme.
The Gothic games were very repulsive to casuals due to the ton of dialogues you needed to do.

How many gigs is the game might give it a pirate.

>shrek 2 the video game looked better than that shit
Hey, Shrek 2 was a great game, I never got to the top of the magic bean, though.

Getting it from gog now, download size is 27gb.

Good thing I can still replay gothic 1-3. Arcania is also acceptable. For bonus points you can play two world 1 and 2 or Risen. It's hard to find games that really scratch that "get lost in a relatively generic fantasy world" itch. DDDA and TES are good but I'm running low on worlds to explore.

Arcania is the worst trash in the history of videogames.

*blocks your path*

You have a jetpack, don't you?

cant wait

Gothic is fucking trash though, it was when it came out and it is now

Nah, there are definitely worse games. Shameful successor to Gothic but acceptable by itself. Favorite game? Nah. 100+ hours? Yeah

Todd, how many times do I have to tell you...

>jetpack up to regain stamina during fights

What?? But you regain stamina so quickly you don't even need to jetpack during a fight. Just circle the enemy if you have to recover, and monsters will always charge when you move away from them leaving you time to land a heavy attack.

The combat in this game is leaps and bounds better than the fucking shite we got in Risen 1 where it's basically "land first hit in or else the enemy will completely ignore all your spam swings" or go magic.

>can't kill any mobs
>guns/good weapons still require a few levels to wield
>forced to run past tons of immortal monsters to scrape up that 100xp-500xp from various mmo-tier quests

how did they fuck up this badly? why not have the first few levels be sorta linear, giving you a taste of combat and general progress? why even have swords and bows in the game when they'll be completely useless halfway through the game?

no no no no nooo abahahaha haaaaaa

You can thankfully disable the lock-on in the difficulty settings.

Because that's not the game they wanted to make. You're in a post apocalyptic world where people die by stepping 30 feet outside of town.
>why even have swords and bows in the game Why would you think that? The Berserker skill tree is centered around melee and bows and they give them as faction rewards.

OH NO NO NO

Fuck I can hear the voice

Did you not see the trailers? Dude will be cutting down mechas with three sword swings late game. swords are balanced here.

Risen 2 was completely clunky unfun shit and I assume 3 was as well. This better?

not even worth pirating unless you're suffering from crippling depression and need something to take your mind off it.

>be PB
>make Gothic and nothing but it in the following years
>the last truly good Gothic was 2 with expansion pack, 3 if you feel generous
You can't bring the past back

Anyone discover any way to see your stats? How the fuck am I supposed to know how much radiation resistance I have for example?

Do you even autism?

This is the main reason I play games
