To me? Better, frankly. Still a bit rough around the edges, can't really do anything until you're level 30 something, and then you can do everything with ease, but fun nonetheless.It's got the usual unpolished eurojank flavor. Don't use elex, the substance, ever. Breaks the game completely. Chems also break the game, but less. There was supposed to be a XP penalty associated with its use, except for a faction, but it was bugged, so there was no point joining that faction, really.Better interface, better control scheme, about the same level of freedom as other Piranha titles. Stupid storyline, and obviously unfocused, but fun stupid, not gothic 2 stupid. Also, sci-fi, and there's a dearth of scifi rpg's out there, so, you know, nice in and of itself.

Not sure how I feel about that. How was ELEX in comparison to older titles? If there was a Gamebanshee review I have forgotten about it.

Yeah, I'm shelving this one definitely. But really, the suspicion of abusive corporate practices against workers to produce a piece of a genre tipically associated with critique of the power structures that permit and encourage that? Would be funny if it wasn't such a fucking tragedyPS: To be clear, I don't have concrete proof that there have been such practices in the development of this particular piece of software, other than it being widespread practice in game development (in which the workforce, I'm given to understand, is heavily underunionized), but this interview, and the claim that crunch is "non mandatory" is anything but reassuring.

But you will only get promoted if you work them? Non mandatory lol that doesn't mean anything, especially with a poor general economic picture (I am not saying Poland has that at the moment).

I am really enjoying it, playing a few builds that were not competitive before due to sets, this season is the most like Diablo 2 in terms of variety of builds. I hope they see the feedback and make this bonus permanent. It does speed up your character's quest to get to higher Torments, but so does the season Journey reward (which I haven't claimed yet).If a couple of LoN builds are competitive at the top tier, that's even better. So, Blizzard, please make this buff permanent.

Very competent critique of the combat system. You nailed why the exact same events happening again each time make the replays a diminishing experience instead of revelling in mastering a mission.We should stop calling games a RPG just because you have a choice how you build your combat skills.

Wow.As to the article, it should be fun, as I've discussed over time this game is quite robust, but if you f up your character it can be a slog, so you know, don't do that. You can't go wrong making a pure anything, so before you start multiclassing, make sure you know what you are doing and have a definite plan in place. Feats are locked to BAB level or pre reqs, and planning out your journey one one of the character planners, I used Builder Lite now as Ron's planner hasn't been updated in a long time, is a good idea.

Could use a little more time/pauses between each sentence Ms. Narrator.

This may be the game I have to play since Bloodlines 2 is out (First Person). Thanks for the news.

May be it's time for a replay, especially as there's nothing much else to play right now.
