Hi my name is ColdBeer and let's talk about one exciting thing.
No, not boobs this time, because boobs are two exciting things, no, let's talk about
the upcoming open world RPG named Elex 2.
Developers from Piranha Bytes have published a gameplay video recently, so now we have
plenty of information to analyze.
Hehehe.
Wait there is nothing sexual in the word analyze.
Hehehe Oh come on, stahp it!
Alright, so Elex 2 is being made by the same people who created Gothic games, and if you
are an oldschool gamer that name should spark real interest into your heart.
The novelty, which will distinguish Elex 2 from the first game the most, is an entire
system of aerial combat, with all it’s benefits, including enemies with improved AI.
Although let’s be fair, does that fight look to you like improved AI is somehow involved?
I don’t think so, this pterosaur looks kinda dumb, and you know what, it’s probably realistic,
nobody would ever say, hey you are so smart, just like pterosauri were.
No, they were dumb, that’s why they are extinct.
Well, also because of that asteroid, but that is just a tiny detail.
Not important.
Anyway, I don’t want stupid enemies, I want smart, truly evil adversaries, something like
your mother in law.
So, along with these improved enemies we will get more weapons than in the first Elex: here
you will get everything from bows to rocket launchers, from swords to chainsaws.
We also decide whether the protagonist is to specialize in one combat style or maybe
combine them into a mishmash of, you know, space-fantasy karate ninjutsu kung fu aikido
drunken master vodka style.
Developers are saying that the beginning of the game will be really difficult, but not
Dark Souls difficult.
I remember that the first Elex was difficult enough at the beginning, and I’m ok with
that, please don’t make it harder.
That’s what she said.
Oh shut up.
Anyway, if you can’t take the boss, return later, when you are stronger.
You know, open world RPGs are well known for this kind of gameplay.
You do side quests, so you could be strong enough to progress through the main one.
Although in real life it’s the same - you probably have to work in some lame companies
before you are accepted into a better one.
Except you can’t kill your boss if you don’t like him.
Only way to beat him in real life is for your boss to get a promotion and to become an even
bigger boss, so you could take his place and still... do what he says.
Real life sucks.
Anyway, in Elex 2, just like in the first Elex and in real life, you will be able to
join various groups and factions - you will start as a freelancer and in this way you
will get familiar with all of them.
And later, in the endgame, you know, you will become some archmage warrior king of eternal
power, who will not care about anything, but until then, your words and actions will have
dire consequences and I have to stress out that the game has multiple endings.
You’ll probably not even bother to watch them all on youtube, but it's nice that they
are here anyway.
Well, all in all, developers are saying that Elex 2 will be bigger and better than the
first game, but the actual size of the world will remain the same.
So the Elex 2 will be more concentrated, you know, like Bear Grylls piss instead of casual
piss.
Although with this I’m not saying that the game is bad, first Elex was a great game and
I can recommend it to you quite easily.
And Elex’s 2 graphics are looking quite good, but I don’t know if it is just me
or the world itself lacks life overall.
It looks static and a bit boring.
And all this continuous flying part is taken straight from some anime.
I don’t know if I like that.
Probably not.
In general I’m not impressed, my hype level is about 6 out of 10, and that is quite low,
because I’m a fan of Open world RPGs, but that means nothing, Elex 2 can be an amazing
game, but we will have to wait for it.
Rumors were flying around that we will get the game at the end of this year, but I can
assure you that it won’t happen.
It looks far, really from being finished.
So 2022 is the best I can guess.
Thank you for watching, have a nice day and I’ll see you next time, bye.
