Hey guys, anyone of you bought Elex ?

I preordered some time ago, sadly I only had like 2 Hours that I could play since release as there are some familiar Problems ...

It's made by Piranha Bytes who made Gothic and Risen (Gothic 1 and 2 were awesome, 3 which was made for international players was the worst ever sadly)
Now after many people were angry about many bad descisions made by publisher who told them to hurry up and change stuff they decided to do this one themselves and not get any big publisher for this Project.

Currently many German people seem to be very happy with this game (at least the old Gothic fans) which grants the game 4 of 5 stars on Steam, still many angry people (mostly english) that don't like the Game because the grafic is kind of outdated (some parts of the Game really hardly look better than Gothic 2 which was released 2002 XD still it's good enough for what this game wants to be) and some don't like that it is really hard, as the Game is Open World it is highly possible to encounter Opponents who insta kill you or take no damage at all if you have bad luck ...

If you know Gothic or Risen you know that this is one of the Games you can play more or less endless, similiar to the Elder Scrolls.

Maybe not worth 50$ for most people, especially as it feels outdated BUT if you like these story driven games you should really buy it !

Here the Description from Steam !
You can get this game from GoG as well.

In ELEX, you join the war over a powerful resource that gives people great magic-like powers, but turns them into indifferent cold creatures. You decide if emotions and humaneness or cold synthetic logic will rule the world of Magalan.

Some key sites do probably have keys as well and as it has a GoG release you should be able to find this game "free to test"



Just noticed, there is actually a review here already even though it is very bad graded oO

I absolutely loved Gothic III despite all its flaws so thank you for making this topic I will need to check it out. As for the graphics being outdated - I didn't care about that level of graphics back when the older games were new so I don't see why I'd care now either.

omg than you should try 1 and 2 ... not sure if there is an English version though ....

I completed G1 and 2+Addon as well as Arcania, and Risen 1-3 + addon but never got really far in 3 as much as I wanted to play it and "complete" the story I just couldn't ...
Tried a few weeks back than (even didn't go to school to be one of the first to buy it :/ ) but getting "killed" by pigs all the time was so ridiculous, even with God mode Cheat it was impossible to get away from them if they hit you once you were done and even withouth the pigs, the fighting system was so bad and all of it looked so ugly (much worse than in G2) and the Addon that was made later on was made by some Chinese? programmer who were payd a few cents by the publisher to make this thing :/


At least these 2 hours I am into Elex seem really nice to me and make me feel like in the good old times, than again I am running around the Berserk town since like 90% of the time XD didn't do that much yet

    @lapot2, You can't change someone's mind on what OS they should or shouldn't use. I don't understand Windows fanboys at times, they like to make stereotypes describing how non-Windows users suck.
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    and not only here, but also on another English-language forum
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At the end of the day, they're constantly nitpicking on one thing over the other.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    @SylverReZ Instead of defending somethings so much just use what you like don't always have to convince others

    @K3Nv3, True. My point exactly.
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    @SylverReZ , it all depends on the tasks set.which OS performs the tasks of a specific person better - that is what this person praises

    I don't know how to attach a video here in a window, and not a simple link
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    but the playlist is not limited to this, on the contrary, there are few domestic performers, but we also appreciate rock in any other languages. it doesn't matter what language, music says a lot without words. and the translation of the lyrics can be googled if desired
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    so we are not as backward as the stereotypes say:)
