- It's all about the combat in ELEX! I mean, did you really expect it to be about anything else?

This is a re-upload because a copyright claim made the video unavailable in some particularly awesome countries. Apologies for any inconvenience, this will not happen again. Huge brownie points for anyone who can name the song I replaced for the last chunk of the video ;).
I was not expecting to hear a piece of music from the Outlaws soundtrack! :D
Congratulations, sir, you have won this comment section!
Garbage Man it was perfect
Ah right, Outlaws really was good game with amazing soundtrack.
"if uou learn to love the jank, the jank will love you back"
That's exactly what i thought while playing risen lol
purelelez yeah i hated bound by flame at first, but i gave it a second chance ans i loved it, and boy is it janky.
Great video again. Getting more and more exited for Elex thanks to your work on this series.
I'm so glad!
Risen 1 combat system is my favourite (from PB games)
"i dont even care about animation" - proceeds to care about animation
"It's all about the combat in ELEX! I mean, did you really expect it to be about anything else?"
3 mins in and so far it's about every game but ELEX
I was so hyped for this game, and with your videos, i am even more hyped 🤔
Thank you for reuploading. Now I can enjoy your great video!
And thank you for alerting me!
Actually looks pretty good the more I see of it but I don' t know about the leveling system, I always loved going to my favourite trainers to level up.. felt more immersive that way
They're still there. You can only train base stats via Attribute Points, you'll still need Trainers for uhm.. "traits" (=
Beat me to the punch, Princess!
Awesome :)
That jab at angryjoes embarassing assassination of Risen 3. I love you.
"No other game has as many combat styles as Elex."

Haha! And thanks for the content, there's a huuuge video just on the horizon! Sub if you're interested in seeing it :)
dude this is great. please keep up the great work and i hope you have many many more viewers ahead
Thank you! You are far, far too kind :)
I am probably the only person on the planet that likes gothic 3, but I have just allways loved that game.
Great voice man! Thanks for video. Waiting for this game sooo much! I've played and finished Gothic 1,2 so many times. Great GAMES.
If the game is open to modding, then that'll fix it up real good.
Welp, I'm sold. I had no idea that this game was so ambitious. As for the animations, I think I'll be good considering that I can do so much in a game that pretty much looks like a greatest hits of everything I love about fantasy and sci fi all in one game. I'll take options and replayability over looking like a badass casting spells or shooting laser guns. I am just glad that I can actually do both.
I loved combat in Gothic 1. Once I learned it's principles it was really fun. It was also great to see how the animations and moves became more interesting when you learned new weapon skil levels. If you were succesful in timing, you could do some fluid combos with spins, wide swings, etc. It looked still quite realistic, but had the effectness of game combat. It felt like you really hit your opponents. It was just good.
Once I got to gothic 3, combat was reeealy strange. it didn't have the weight in it. it felt mroe like waving something in front of you, definitelly not a weapon.
Risen 1 was great again. It had the combo potencial, it had the weight of a weapon, a few different weapon types with different feels to them. It was great again.
Then Risen 2 came and... it was awful. those fast enemy attacks taht you didn't have a chance to properly react, thsoe 3 animations over and over again, only one handed ugly swords, soem of them big like a paddle, that free camera. It was just soo big step back. RIsen 3 was quite simmilar, even though felt much better mainly by adding some different weapons, or rather, magic. Those casting moves were quite funny, but felt like you actually do something. It felt logical that you have to give some effort in your spells, not like this air fisting we see in ELEX. Still it wan's great, first Risen is still better, but it was some improvement.
ELEX seems mroe wooden, more simple. Is's not Gothic 3's fiddling in the air, but it's not that great either. Worst is of course that magic animation, but I have some hopes for them to give us more casting animations. The rest is quite ok, but is still missing something, not quite sure what. But I am really interested in what will they come up for the different spells. Risen 3 being quite strange and traditional but still interesting with thsoe crystal like forms of those spells, this could be interesting. So far everything seems like some smoke, poison or fire, which is not exactly what I want. I would like something more like ice block, ice spear, fire ball, etc. like in their old games where we could see the projectiles sort of. I guess this is not all the magic there is, that we will get something like that, but it's strange to see only this sort of smoke type of magic.
I just wanna thank you for this 4 part series regarding Elex and talking about Gothic/Risen series from PB.
I've loved these games since the first Gothic and I can say without any shadow of a doubt that I enjoyed each and every one of them (Gothic II being my favorite of the bunch and it's the game that has helped me cope with keeping my brain busy for 8 times in a row after having an accident).
I've recently replayed (started a few months ago) Gothic 1-3 and Risen 1-3 to get ready for Elex and to my surprise I've grown to love them even more (playing through the Gothic games gave me a nostalgia feeling like no other).
Now when we're talking combat although you can't expect Dark Souls combat I've never minded the combat in any of the games (although Risen 2-3 combat system were pretty basic compared to the other games).
With that said..Elex is by far my most anticipated game this year and I cannot wait to dive into another Piranha Bytes game head on.
Great vids dude. Thought I was the only one excited for this game.
I like that the animation is hand done. Makes it feel somewhat more personal somehow
As a huge fan of PB's games, I can 100% agree with this video & just can't wait for ELEX. :-)))
UPDATE: ELEX is awesome, to me it's easily the GOTY 2017 in RPG genre! :)
The Jank will set you Free.
Great Video dude
Well I hope it’s good. I preordered it, your videos are fantastic try to make more while actually playing ELEX man!
Now what you need to point out is that ELEX has finally in-game inventory,like in previous PB games(Gothic1,2,3,Risen1)!!! Means game will not pause while you browsing items,reading notes and quests.
yes, I agree, but in Gothic 3 the enemies just stopped attacking you
Elex wont pause when youre entering your "adjutor" (everything from inventory to questentries and such)
DUDE. I dunno why but you sound exactly like a younger version of Lester from GTA V. Anyhow, good vid. Keep up the work.
dude
I NEVER DO THIS, but i liked your vid : u spoke my mind and you feel like the first person with a brain - youre no casual
I guess I'm alone in this but the combat in PB games doesn't feel satisfying to me, it feels cheap. You have to learn how to game the game essentially, and it feels like I'm exploiting a broken combat system rather than winming through my own skill.
The reason why combat in dark souls or the witcher 3 feels so satisfying is because if I lose I can tell exactly what went wrong. And by that I mean intuitively. In games like the risen series, or gothic series I feel like I have to go through quite a few deaths before I realise what the problem is (usually It's very poorly telegraphed animations from enemies, or not knowing which frames of animation the enemy is invulnerable for, even though logically they should be either just as vulnerable or invulnerable from one frame to the next when they have their shield down).
And lastly, I got through gothic 1 and 2 and it was charming. I got through Risen 1 and it was unsatisfying to fight. There was no joy, the only reason to look forward to a fight was for whatever loot I got. The fight itself was repetitive and combat had no kick to it. And Elex looks visually more impressive, but animation is still on par with Risen 1 almost. It looks like combat is exploitable, it looks like It's one of the few departments they cheaped out on and honestly I've seen animation done by hand that's a lot better. Mo-cap is not required to get great animation. The weird thing is for Elex there's this major disconnect for me. The better the models and textures are the more jarring the bad animation is. If PB came out with a game that had lower quality art, but the same animations, I'd swallow it much better.
And I swear I am getting so sick of that run animation where the shoulders of the character just bob up and down slightly but barely move front to back with the arm swing, so unnaturally, just like the gothic series and the risen series to follow it.
Sorry for the rant. I really want to enjoy this game, I honestly do. Gothic 1 and 2 are such good memories for me and I want Piranha Bites to do incredibly well, but I honestly doubt they will hit it big with this game...
This is an EXCELLENT, extremely well-thought-through post that I'll respond to later when I have time. And I'm sure you're far from alone in believing the combat in ELEX is... concerning. Even I'm worried but thankfully, there's a lot more to PB games than combat.
I can very much relate to that. Personally I liked the combat in Gothic 1 and especially Gothic 2. To me the fights in this games were satisfying. Risen 1 was ok as well. Now I really dislike the combat in the other games, like recently Risen 3, mainly the melee combat. I mean, I know how it works, I can fight (not like that certain Joe). It just feels cheap and boring, really.
Animations in general are another thing, I also feel like the animations seem just worse and worse the better the models are, but at least here I can say I can live with that. The combat though? It is one of the reasons why I never finished Risen 3.... (although I still plan to at some point)
you literally expressed my thoughts, I've never played through the gothic series, but I did play the Risen series and I really did enjoy them, story wise, but just as you've explained, the animations were quite horrible to say the least, but then again, so were the graphics, and it didn't even remotely bother me just due to how outdated the art design and graphics were, but in ELEX, the game looks really modern, yet with a really cheap animation design, which is quite sad, I personally would've preferred outdated graphics with better animations myself
To be perfectly honest, my perfect game would be an unholy fusion of the Souls games(level design, atmosphere), the Drakengard/Nier(music, story set up, the fact that everything and everyone is screwed up in some way, the existence of a final boss that plays in a completely different style from the normal gameplay. Drakengard players know what I am talking about ) series, and the Gothic/Risen series(open worldness, RPG style).
Lol souls and Witcher games memorize and predict your enemies move sets. yeah much skill my dude.
I agree with what you say here quite a lot (and also played everything I could made by PB).
If the combat system will be good it won't hinder my enjoyment, good animations or not however seeing your character and enemies respond to what you want to do in the way you'd expect is very satisfying. That's to answer your question about animations.
As for myself I'm eager to see the writing in the game. PB proves they can do superb writing as well as crappy. That's the part I'm most curious about. That's not to say I don't want to do everything in my power to cleanse the world of all creatures with HP bar, because I definitely do.
That was a nice vid, hope I'll stumble on more of your content in the future
The animations in Piranha games is what kills it for me. That jog the character makes, breaks the immersion for me, as no one would ever run like that unless they were, well, jogging.
thanks again for your work! :D
The magic is launched from a handheld "fist" weapon I believe you need to equip different fist weapons or magic catalysts of you will so the movement of him slinging it out is because that's exactly what he's doing similar to a knife throw
I loved Gothic 1 and 2 for the story and how often I was able to replay the game without feeling bored. How the same NPC either absolutely loved you or hated you depending what fraction you joined / decision you made in your playthrough. Unlike some AAA games, you were not punished to do something morally wrong. That's really what I look forward to the most in Elex. I probably play a melee/archer guy on my first playthrough because the combat system seems to be the most satisfying for all piranha bite games. Might try mage if they implement actual mage casting animations and not "my arm is a gun wuhahaha"
I guess all I can say is "if the game can captivate me or keep me completely occupied like the risen series or Witcher did than its a good game".
An excellent philosophy to follow! Imho, Witcher 1 and Gothic 2 are the most immersive games I've ever played.
Nice work...
:)
I think you explained this very accurately.
When it comes to your question at the end , i would say this ; a good joke will suffer if the way it is presented is bad. Mechanics will have less impact if the animations and visuals poorly represent what actions you are doing.
Risen 3 was one of the greatest. It was awesome of them to put it on the PS4
Combat in PB games... god I hoped they would finally improve for Elex but it's still the same as it was 16 years ago. The animations need to provide a lot better feedback to the player in my opinion.
Great video hopefully PB see it at least take note but I'm not expecting huge improvements. Will be a great game regardless I will be avoiding any forums and just enjoying the game when it releases.
The major criticism for Elex is the combat system and the voice acting.
Good vid! Very good vid!
Severance! OMG. Das waren noch Zeiten. Leider landete das Spiel viel zu schnell auf dem Index. Der Barbar war einfach einfach göttlich zu spielen!
I recently replayed Severance: Blade of Darkness, and I thought the combat animations were quite good - and not just for those times.
Loved your video, you spoke with such passion about PB titles (I have yet to play any, but I am looking at Elex with reserved enthusiasm). My opinion on animations goes something like this: While I do agree that if the game/combat is otherwise solid, then the animations arent quite as important. However, at the same times I think there are some key reasons why to many they are still a very big deal. RPGs probably more than any other game are meant to be completely immersive, and especially for me, if I cant roleplay my character in the game (feel as though that really is me in that world doing all that cool stuff) it creates a separation for me, and ultimately affects my gameplay and choices (no way in hell I would murder an innocent person for a piece of loot in a game like fallout or skyrim or any game with a custom player character and the ability to roleplay well), but in other games where you may play as a predetermined character, I would definitely murder or steal bc thats not me in the game. Its the same kind of with animations, I cant imagine myself being a bad ass monster/demon/man slaying beast with animations that look like I just awoke from a prolonged vegetative state and my motor skills havent fully recovered yet. It just looks silly. Even in games like Dark Souls 3 (the way you hold a light sword in both hands is just straight up embarrassing, and I literally never twohand short swords or similar weapons solely for that reason. This was incredibly long sorry lol.
Thanks for the reupload :D
The combat is actually is one of the aspect that looks improved alot since alpha footage.
It looked AWFUL in the 2016 or earlier footage.
Now it looks more like risen 1 melee wise, though i shame their decision making dodge roll back instead of sidestep.
I do tolerate the jank and if it id well done like gothic 2 or risen. It actually make a good gameplay.
Your videos actually makes me starting to have faith again after risen 2 and 3.
I just hope thr game has decent combat, but the complex world and faction system from gothic and risen 1. Risen 2 was the worst and risen 3 tried to brought this back to a degree, but the world design just isnt up to the standard.
I hope elex will deliver
REALLY nice video! And good points you make all along!
But concerning the animation quality: It makes it feel COOL. And thats what I'm looking for. After I got 500+ hours in Dark Souls PvP, much of it Dark Souls 3 gank spanks the combat won't be challenging, the fun of the game will be in other things. An RPG like ELEX is for me all about the atmosphere and the style.
NEVER be ashamed of liking Marmite!
I love the concept of the game but I wish it played more like dark souls. Especially with the animation.
and then ppl like you cry "omg another DS Clone" -.-
Ikito Husky not really I like all of those games.
Ikito Husky or if it played more like Zelda or Dragon's Dogma with the shooter gameplay being similar to Fallout 4 or Mass Effect I'd be really into it
Oh god, I still remember G3 combat, it was so fucking broken. Auto-dodging animals/beasts with super rapidfire stunlocking attacks and extremely cheesable humanoid enemies. I cleared out a whole orc fort in shitty armor by just blindly swinging a twohander with no stamina, and the melee orcs couldnt even hit me in the back.
This is my second most anticipated game of the year after Breath of the Wild. Destiny, Horizon Zero Dawn are all been there done that. This game looks unique. The Risen Series isn't perfect but it's different and stands apart from other games.
As a Gothic fan, it's frustrating seeing PB not evolving as a developer. Rather than take their formula to new heights, or do something original, they seem to make the same mistakes over and over. Right now is the perfect time for them to grow too, with Euro devs like Larian and CDPR getting the spotlight.
played this game 8 hours straight....patched the game,lost my saves,played the game for 6 more hours(and this is all in one day) :)) great story,great game(and the game retaines some of that old "gothic 2"feeling when u play)
I did play Risen 3 on Easy, but to be fair, it was the first time I ever played it, and I had no idea what I was doing(and that was after I had decided on what I would focus on. I kept starting new games over and over again till I made a build that made sense to me).
Working with key-framed animations using 3ds for Skyrim mods seems pretty smooth to me. Don't know why they can't but probably it's their engine that makes the animation clunky.
Being a Gothic and Risen fan, I want to like Elex, but... IMHO it looks like PB has stagnated. The game looks like a crazy quilt of a bunch of previously unused assets thrown together without any unifying art direction... and the gameplay looks equally uninspired. Contrary to many, I felt that Risen 3 was PB on the verge of greatness again -- just short of an amazing looking world and wonderful combat system -- but even though Elex looks bigger and packed with more ideas, it sadly "feels" like a step backwards. I hope I'm wrong, but the more I see, the less I want to play the game.
Indeed, they aren't progressing at all, if anything, these animations are a step backwards, as is world design - shotguns, chainsaw swords, grenades, fireballs, dinosaurs... it IS possible to blend these together, but here it's not done well enough, it all seems like a mix of random art assets from different genres. And with only weeks before the final release, there's no hope for any major improvements.
You should do a Let's play of this when the game officially come out.
We have prophet over there :D Judge the combat system 2 months before the game is out... High five dear friend!
I can't stand that the 'on fire' status effect doesn't seem to bother the mobs at all.
Nice video! I have always enjoyed PB games, looking forward to Elex. They might have meh animations but boy do I enjoy exploring the worlds they create and chatting to all of the interesting characters. The combat has never really bothered me much to be honest, far from perfect but it works most the time. Gothic 2 and Risen 1 I would say are my favorite and Risen 2 my least favorite from Pb.
"The magic system in this game looks incredible. Genre-defining, even."
Hol' up. I think this requires a bit more context. Do you mean that the magic system on its own could eventually define action RPGs as a genre? I haven't delved much into how ELEX works from an RPG standpoint, so would anyone mind elaborating?
Nice job
GAMEPLAY IS 80% OF A GAME IF YOU GOT THE BALLS FOR IT
I think if I have to temper my expectations, they should temper their price tag too. This game looks like something I would be interested in....but from 2010. Maybe I'm being a snob, though.
The Jank is life!
The combat animations matter a lot. Weird animations just pull me right out of the experience. I'm supposed to kill an orc, not watch him do bale and start laughing at it.
Honestly, as much as I might love Gothic 1 and 2 as well as the first Risen, PB really dropped the ball with the Risen followups. They need to step up their game. Particularly in the combat area. I'm a little more optimistic about Elex but the combat still looks pretty bad.
i really liked the design of the world in risen 3, call me crazy but i saw some greatness in it somewhere
I'm not too familiar with PB games (or most RPG's) but what I've noticed is in a lot of different games with fluid combat animations (Shadow of Mordor, Assassin's Creed, etc.) You never have ACTUAL control over who you attack, and you can often end up attacking the wrong person (my reason for deleting SoM twice). I would like a balance between control and fluidity
Nice Video(s)! Ever thought about to reach out for Björn Pankratz for an interview? (The bald one in the videos...) Currently he is on promotion tour, so very likely he does have a full schedule atm. but after Elex Release, just ask him! Chances are high that you can add a nice final video with an inteview with the head of development... at least worth a try!
will you be doing a video on the magic and skills system as it would be great to know
Someone hasn't played warframe if you think this game has the most different kinds of fighting styles.
Hello, i just want to let you know that the game version you can see in writing bulls video you showd for a short time is the at the time of the recording current working version of the game so the version with wich the devs work at the moment or the latest actuall state of the game. :)
At least Jenny said that to writing bull during one of the videos.
i wrote so many different versoins of that because my englisch is not so good and i want the message of my post to be as clear as possible. :)
More videos please!!!
I'm waiting for the day where there will be a ultra realistic physics RPG. Would be nice to shoot a monsters leg and watch the reaction, damage, effect after etc. Come across a rock monster and pistols are made redundant it hurts it but it tickles some damage off it in the shot area because it would realistically chip away. Would be nice, maybe another 10 years down the track.
seriously, it's 2017. Holding on to an outdated combat system out of nostalgia or for the sake of 'tradition' is such a backwards mindset. If PB actually made proper work of it, these games would be all the more appealing. Instead, a decade later, we still clumsy 3 to 5 hit combos that end up abusing the wonky animation system to get infinite stun loops ...
I'm so close to the amount of dollars I need to build the pc with the parts that I want. I cant wait to access the treasure trove of real rpgs on PC
Still a classic!
You have to expect combat to be like that in a true rpg. Perfect example I got into the elder scrolls when Oblivion came out. Around the same time I was playing Oblivion, Dark Messiah came out and I got that came because the combat was at the time to me amazing. But really DM was an action game with RPG elements. I never completed the game lost interest and went back to The Elder Scrolls and never looked back. Now games ever evolving so combat is getting better in modern rpgs but there is always going to be that balancing act between rpg and action elements. You can't have it all.
I was looking forward to getting this game. But I have to thank you in some way because this video is a nice middle ground. I played Gothic 1 and I was impress with the scope of the game. But I can't say i enjoyed the gameplay which to me is the core of any game. I was one of those that actually didn't enjoy the witcher 3. While the story telling is Triple A. I find the combat in the game far to fancy. WorthAbuy had the same feeling about the combat in Witcher 3. So seeing the games limited combat and the fact they want me to pay 60 bucks for it. Is something I just don't see happening. Everything else does peak my interest, But combat is just to important to just dismiss when the whole game is about leveling up.
If the story and RPG fun is as good as it was in Gothic II, I don't really care about clanky animations.
Sevarance combat system in PB games would be great!
I know this is a really old vid,but thinking of getting buying Elex its on sale through PSN I love From Software games and Soul- likes Nioh and the Surge and has late got Outward and it took me a while to enjoy it but I love it mostly the control set up was weird to me at first.
Maybe it's just me but I feel like they are trying to add everything into the game without actually trying to refine said additions, saying that maybe it might all blend together into a functional if janky system (being realistic about their Budget of course) shame the Guns have little impact even if the magic looks pretty effective (that animation though).
I wonder if the end product will be as good as dragons dogma or kingdom of amalur
"Without a doubt the most criticized element of every PB game is the combat"
Pretty sure it's a false statement. First of all: the combat in both G1 and G2 were good, and the combat in Risen was very good. Dunno who thinks otherwise, but they're very, very wrong.
I love the combat in G2 and Risen! But, at least in my experience, their combat systems were under a lot of criticism, mostly from idiots... but idiots are also the loudest.
I must say a lot of people I met said that combat in first two Gothic games was awful. I disagree, but I can't do anything with their distaste.
On the contrary, third Gothic has some weird combat. one animation forever. Or the three animation repetetiveness of Risen 2.
You could still enjoy that rubbery combat of Gothic 3, but you must admit, it wasn't that great. It still felt good to decimate entire cities of orcs even with that click click click click combat system.
are you going to do a walk-thru or tutorial
PB uses Motioncapturing duh... :D
They just alter it so it fits to a game - like every game does.
It's a mixture! Some of the animations are clearly keyframed. Pre (I think?) Risen 2, all PB games were completely animated exclusively with keyframes.
I think I once heard Björn Pankratz say something about Motioncapturing even for Gothic 1
Lol, now all i'm picturing is a guy in a mocap suit doing that weird sway the body above the hips while the legs look like concrete thing that Gothic 1 had going on.
Anyone know if there will be 2 handed swords, or only 1 handed swords you chance chose to single wield without a shield?
Yep! There will indeed be two-handed swords, and you can also wield all 1-h weapons without a shield :).
I loved blade of darkness
this headshot to Joe HHHHHHHH
that's not so difficult to find art fencer and make combat system more interesting and better at all. it's 2017, not 2000. dis wood animations... setting is cool, world looks cool, story will be cool, but that's not enough for 2017.
"Everything in this game looks good except for some animation(especially in combat). Its not enough for a game in current year".
So if i understood you correctly, everything a game has to have are flawless anims?
Well jank is life so eh...
So, you need trainers to learn skills/abilities. Is it possible to mix styles from different factions? Let's say I want my character to be traditional mage + technical swords. Since both seem to be in the opposite spectrum (Berserker for magic, Tech stuff for Clerics/Albs), would that be possible? What if besides that, my faction is actually the remaining one (Outlaws)? In other words, I wonder how restricted your skills/equipment become, the moment you join a Faction.
probably not. their games usually have base set of skills from all fields that you can learn at any time and from any faction, but high end skills are faction only. and usually you have beat trough few hours with mele, just to learn magic. (only game where mage has to start as swordman in order to stay alive)
usually you can use any armor or weapon, but you aim and dmg will be lower without right skills and good stat base. also in some titles it's impossible to get high end armor from other faction.
how i see it magic will be berserkers only, drones and force shield for cleric and heavy weapon for outlaws. but there might be consumables like scrolls for magic that anyone can use.
Thanks, I assumed as much. Hope the mod community can do something about it, though (as I'm not much into replaying).
Hey you gonna make a new video anytime man missing you 😘
At 05:47, how come it shows so many attribute points at just level 10?
Scarecrow cheats
The streams of Elex shows many hours in they don't have guns/magic. I'll wait for it to come out and modded to bypass their terrible melee combat before I buy it.
The entire map is unlocked immediately; you can go wherever you please from the very beginning :). I suppose I could do a video about how to get magic/guns/rocket launchers/phasers ASAP, if you'd like.
The magic system is genre defining? It really doesn't look that good man, lol. It's pretty particle effects.
For an action RPG, it is. Dragon's Dogma did it better, but then again, Dragon's Dogma was a combat-centered game, with very, very little of anything else.
wait hold on you really have only 4 videos on your channel ?
this game is awesome as far as everything but the actual game play. it is unplayable and frustrating.
I wanted so badly to tolerate it but I just can't.
Good ol Angry Joe... I just hope he stays away from Elex, since clearly he does not enjoy the PB style of action rpgs. He is just going to shit talk the game because he sucks at combat, and that is going to negatively affect the sales of the game.
Oh, and great video btw. The combat animations are probably going to suck, but it won't be a huge deal for me. If it uses the same engine as Risen 3, I wonder how hard it would be to mod the crystal glove animations in?
It's modified Gothic 3 engine, as i heard performance won't be problem ,as i also heard game runs good on 4K and don't need even high end PC ,but will see
Joe hates everything PB does... maybe because they never gave him money for a review!
AJ doesn't have to do anything. AAA-price tag for that budget cRPG will kill the sales.
he will not review it or mention it unless it's to insult them
Lord Zylok To anyone seeing this in the future; this is what a triggered fanbase looks like.
