yea. Bought and payed for. Gonna stop playing elden ring, and play this first. For several reasons.

First thing I noticed was the lack of camera zoom controls. Immediately found a mod that removed the smooth camera and centered it further back.

PB is a company with cult status in the RPG community. I don't think many people who would buy Elex 2 reconsidered because of elden ring. I still havent bought either because i went through elex 1 one more time.

Old gamers UNITE!

Your comment convinced me to watch the review and also get the game lol. Ty from a 40 year old gamer

I can't off-hand recall they have scaling in any of their past games.

There supposedly was information on level scaling in some sort of official plan document release and I guess it was scrapped. For the better I would say because level scaling would suck for a game like this. You should be encouraged to explore and push your limits on gear as well as skill as a player.

Do you remember Gothic? Diego told us they way, and all of us decided to leave the path...and die.

Thank god, never understood why games have it, specifically games where you level up and get loot, like whats the point, may aswell just never level and there will be no difference

There definitely IS level-scaling in Elex 2. PB actually confirmed in an interview with WCCFTech that they were going to be scaling certain quests to level ranges so that the player can do them early game, mid-game, or late-game. It's not for every enemy in the game, but certain quest enemies and many (most?) humanoid enemies, including the Skyand invaders, have at least their health (and presumably damage) scaled upwards the higher level you are. I've tested this by going to an undiscovered bandit camp at level 50, and then reloading to an earlier save at a much lower level and going to the same previously undiscovered place -- with the same bandit enemies -- and found they had WAY less health when I was level 20, versus when I was level 50. There's a reddit discussion showing how simple reavers can have their health scaled up to such a ridiculous level that they're actually tougher to kill than trolls (which is pretty ridiculous), and someone's also created a mod to disable level-scaling in the game, with a spreadsheet of all the enemies in the game that are affected by scaling.

Hit boxes and animations are horrible...combat holds this game back

you forgot a big T there :)

Oh please stop smoking crack,it will kill you in the end.

@@EyefyourGf This shits all over Elden worlds!

@@endoffate5475 no, it really doesn't. They are 2 very different games anyway.

Time out, all of you

Unfortunately this game will fly way under the radar for most people because it wasn't hyped up at all and it was released close to Elden Ring

Me too. Like all the Reviews in General

i would recommend not playing any open world games after elden ring wait a bit

@@aligmal5031 well, Elden Ring is my pallet cleanser after Archolos, before delving into Elex 2.

Yeah Jax got a weird handsome Squidward makeover.

Oh yes, I'm lvl 22 and still feel weak af especially against groups of enemies like skyand curators

I play elex 2 on hard and I immediately fought against the young trackers and raptors. Dodge into punch drains half their stamina so you kill them very fast. Combat is easy so far

@@johannesschmitz6370 Yes I would say if you know how to strategize it properly it definatley is easier and more accessible. Granted you still could go up against high level stuff and try you're luck there.

Yes for some quest's you have to wait (or sleep) a few days or even a week.

Same. I read a comment saying noon it will be there

I'll get to it eventually. I really want to do a full playthrough.

Kai is a bloody genius. And he was so young when he composed those amazing Gothic soundtracks. He was in his early 20's.

Yes it was janky but you could time your button hits to get damage multipliers as I found out looking for hints and tips on KZfaq, also until the very late game when you'd leveled up a bunch lasers and other guns were next to worthless, the game is in bad need of rebalancing in this regard. If they bring out Elex 3 or 4 to rave reviews I'll think about buying them but this is just an incremental improvement on the first one by the looks of it.

Ha I did this as well
