If you liked Gothic/ Gothic2 or the original Risen, you know what to expect. If you haven't played them, they're all technically and mechanically janky games of relatively low budgets that hide great RPGs in there that are unique and very different from the usual open worlds filled with icons that most RPGs today are. Some people can't get past the jankiness while others swear by them (me included), you have been warned.Anyone play Elex?

I can look past jank if the story is worth it, as long as the combat is at least serviceable.If you liked Gothic/ Gothic2 or the original Risen, you know what to expect.

The combat in Elex is....unique. You can get used to it and it can become more or less serviceable, but it's never exactly an amazing or even satisfying experience. People like to diss the Witcher 3's combat, but that's devil may cry in comparison.I can look past jank if the story is worth it, as long as the combat is at least serviceable.
I‘ll have to go check out some combat gameplay videos and see.
So all sequels?........this industry is in a world of hurt
Destroy all humans 2What's the six new games is there a list?
I played it and lost interest 10 hours in. It was a let down. If you haven't yet check out Risen, or even the older Gothics. They are a better experience all around.Anyone play Elex?

I hope. I love the seriesDarksiders please. A conclusion to the series would be nice since they've already debuted all the Horsemen.
waaaaa? a pirate game? i dont know, please educate me"We hope you are ready kids"
Well we know at least one of the 6!
No, I get it. THQ Nordic bought a huge library. I did buy Biomutant and it's good. But DAMN, the industry is nothing but sequels, ports, remasters and spin-offs. It's old. It's going to implode soon.Again, this is what THQ Nordic does...
THQ is not a 'good' publisher, per se. THQ is an 'active' publisher, mining a whole ton of franchises they have acquired from various firesales of dead IP as well as desperate developers looking for somebody to fund their undervalued brands. THQ's playbook is to remaster the hits, then if those sell and the studio that did the remasters is ready, they have them work on a new game in the brand, and there's innovation or unique ideas explored in the new stuff (to varying degrees of success, depending on your opinions of things like Sacred 3 / Citadel & Darksiders 3 & Commanche 2021); there's also some new IP like Biomutant, but THQ has a ton of freaking brands and they're going to exploit them.
If you liked these games back in the day (also including Timesplitters and Gothic and Kingdoms of Amalur,) then you like THQ Nordic for what it is, because otherwise these brands (and in a lot of cases their old-school-3D style of gameplay) would be gone.
(BTW, I can't believe the day has come where I have nostalgia for the "glory days" of THQ, they were always a shitty publisher but they got a lot out there, and THQ Nordic has picked up the better stuff to continue on.)
It was the best of that studio's RPGs, so if you liked any of those you will probably like it. It's got some jank, but not bad. It's a pretty old fashioned RPG. Some games it reminds me of, Gothic 3, Risen, Two Worlds.Anyone play Elex?

I regret this post. I didn't end up watching it, but I look back at that post and feel like a fool.Nox is great too. Y'all are making me too hyped for this thing. I gotta watch it now.

It's not new game, it was shown at least in April.And "Expeditions: Rome"

It's a great pure rpg (in the sense that every decision count and you have various ways to solve almost any quest) but you need to take 2 things in account:Anyone play Elex?

Good list but you cannot deny that publishers are milking the old franchises.....I mean there are tons of games with a number 3+ after the title. I hope we get more new IP's so we can get sequels of the new IP's. But it has been getting stale (minus some good new games over the last few years)...but the indies are our only hope it seems.EH???
