The overacting and voice acting feels so cheap xD...
I couldn't help but to think of Shepard and the Reapers because of the dialogue.
Why won't anyone believe him, they're coming
..
Edit: And uh, why the sudden cuts?
There's cuts all over the trailer as if they just created short clips out of context and put them together?
It's really odd the music cuts too.

I avoided Elex for a while as people were pretty down on it (specifically the difficulty at the start). Bought it cheap and it was a great game - the traversal really helped with exploration, the option of which faction to join was difficult as they were all arses, dialogue was cheesy but it didn't detract from my enjoyment. Looking forward to this.

You're setting yourself up for disappointment.
Only way to truly appreciate their games is to embrace the jank.

Piranha Bytes = Lovable jank.

From the team that brought you only mediocre jank and have never bothered once to improve their formula, here's another guaranteed garbage.

It's not available anymore or it's just my tablet not loading?!
What was broken? Combat was way easier than in Gothic or Risen. Just the controls for jet-pack jumps were sometimes a bit laggy.
Btw, I really hope they make at some point Risen 1 compatible to the current gen consoles. Really missing that game in the compatibility list of the xb1.

Just my opinion but I think they would have done better in sales on the first game if they took a good look at their difficulty balancing. The first game had severe difficulty spikes in the early game which created a large amount of negative feedback. I am sure they have sold lots of copies at discount but I think they could have had a massive game on their hands if they hadn’t catered so much to their hardcore fans.

It was uber-clunky, animations were shit and impact on hits was barely there.
I kinda love the game but combat was utter shit.
But i didn't played previous piranha games so i don't know how much worse the past games are, but that's not an excuse.
A lot of AA game or even indie stuff has good to great combat.

They make almost always the same game since Gothic, over and over again
The developer has it's fans (I'm one of those). The world had always been like this. Go to the right and you're potentially dead, go to the right and you're potentially dead. Follow the path and you are save, but you miss so much stuff if you only follow the path.
And it is always a handcrafted world and you can feel that while playing as no spot looks the same as other spots....
I hope I timestamped it correctly.

Yes I appreciate that it's the Piranha Byte way since forever, I just think making things a little more user friendly might help them develop a much larger audience.They make almost always the same game since Gothic, over and over again

The game provides a lot of menu tweaks for difficulty. You can set the whole game to "easy mode" if you want. Although, I toyed around with that and there's still some problems with aiming ranged weapons.
I think I payed $11 a couple of years ago. It was definitely worth that amount.
The biggest problem is just the trial by fire of the first ten hours. It can be very difficult. People that give up after three hours undoubtedly have called the game trash.

The Skyands are coming - and we need to defend Magalan. Stop fighting each other and focus on the real enemy of our world!

The playable factions, each with their own unique weapons and skills, include The Berserkers who are are skilled magicians, the Outlaws, the returning Albs, the Clerics who are famous for their love of engineering and crafting powerful combat robots powered by Elex, and the new faction available in Elex II called the Morkons.
In Elex II, several years after Jax defeated the Hybrid, a new threat arrives from the sky, unleashing the dangerous powers of dark Elex and endangering all life on the planet.
In order to defend the peace on Magalan and the safety of his own family, Jax embarks on a mission to convince the factions to unite against the invaders, as well as a personal quest to find his son, Dex, who got separated from him.

That's why you don't pay attention to mainstream/console sites, normies, ect...when it comes to RPGs especially.

Absolutely. ELEX (or any other PB game) is not a mainstream game and I truly hope they aren't trying to make it one.

The lead character (I didn't play Elex 1) looks like a slightly younger version of Marius from D2 imo.
