Even more incredible, it's (at least) the third time! Gothic 2 to 3, Risen to Risen 2 and now this. Nevermind EA, rockstar, whoever, reeeeeesetera jason "jase" schreier needs to get to the bottom of what's going on with the PB franchise fuckup cycle

The problem is in sequels they sometimes tinker with the stuff people liked and break them, while leaving things people didn't like alone 
Risen 1: Great game, Gothic-like stats, lacking endcontent.
Risen 2: More endgame content, but generally WTF?
Risen 3: Nice again. Humanity/Soul system makes no difference.
Elex 1: Good, but no endgame content. Cold /humanity is again pretty meanigless aside from allowing you to not kill your manlet brother and locks you into endings. But at least you can't easily get more emotional if you've finished with quests and ate too much autism inducing Elex. Camera is fine.
Elex 2:  Spoiler: | Apparently again no endgame content besides Main Quests, and you can pay to get your Destruction levels drop. Camera problems |

God damn they really push that Billy Idol | Spoiler: | "concert" in your face from the start.
" Yes, THE Bily Idol"
One fucking song in a cutscene and that's it. At least In Extremo in Gothic 1 played for a whole chapter. |

I caved in and bought this for 29€ yesterday like I did with every PB since now. I had 1h to play and I've got to say...
... I can't stop collecting trash and picking flowers again.
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

Right now the biggest technical problems are:
a)the uneven performance - almost no difference in fps between low and high
b)the graphical glitches - textures / models randomly dissapear, mostly evident in bigger cities but can happen even in the country.

Yup, the first point definitely affects my potato. Aside from the new camera and mouse smoothing which are just as silly as everyone said, it's bizarre how the game looks about the same as the first one while performing at half the framerate. It must be the new tired faces that require the extra computational power 
I loved ELEX and I couldn't wait to put my hands on this one, but alas, I'll have to temporarily enable once again the patient bear mode. Hopefully, the Piranha men won't abandon Jax despite the rather lukewarm (but expected) reception and sales figures. |

I don't dig Elex setting at all, but all this nostalgia speak made me install Risen 3, hopefully it's better than the first two.

How can a studio, with so much experience, release a shit like this is beyond me... 
2010 graphics, performance is crap, storytelling is for 5 years old...

Now I remembered I didn't play the 3rd game... But doubt it's better than the first Risen but probably above 2.

Wonder if they even patch it. Didn't ELEX 1 receive 0 patches?

They released a patch ... on consoles. They claim they're looking into things on PC. Trying to improve performance. The game ends up in the high 40's on ocassion, in towns.
People are pissed on steam, from their stagnating gamedesign since forever, to not improving in any area after decades and so on. If the team really is only 33 people, as documents from their owner says, why make such a gigantic game where nothing is polished or tweaked ? Risen 1 had a great scope for such a tiny team. More constrained gameworld, that can be handcrafted better.
Elex 2 doesnt even have their usual strenghts. The world is pretty barren and boring to navigate. Towns are pretty empty. Gothic 1 feels more alive and rich.

It had 4 patches, but it was also a bit different then.
PB is no longer an independent studio, they're part of Nordic/Embracer.
Back then they would release a game and immediately start working on a new one, now they might have resources for patching. Looking at other releases by Embracer's studios shows that is definitely possible.

Same here... i agree, graphics and performance aren't great and i had to apply a FOV fix but since i don't really care about graphics i'm okay with it. I pirated the game though, if i bought the game i would be livit.
