Schlaumayr: Yeah, this game is not my cup of tea. Everything that annoyed me in part 1 is still there, so thanks but no thanks.
Do you feel better, now?

Edgy.

Ancient-Red-Dragon: I'd be a lot more inclined to buy this if I had played the first one, which I didn't, because THQ treated GOG like second-class citizens by not giving GOG customers Achievements for the first one.

Hopefully THQ will make that right one day by adding them, but I doubt they will.

Syphon72: I had no idea people cared this much about Achievements now day's. To me, they really add nothing of value but maybe I grew up in a different time of gaming.
This. It is sad that these youngsters require inane dopamine rewards such as "achievements." They are the participation trophy / you can be anything you want to be generation. Humanity is SCREWED.

The complaint about achievements on GOG is a pretty weird one- you get them, they're just in game achievements (accessible from the menu) rather than linked to Galaxy.

The difference only really matters if you want other people to see how cool you are for dedicating 200 hours to getting a romance achievement rather than care about what you've done.

Can't wait to be disappointed by this one! But I'm going to be lost in Elden Ring for the foreseeable future. I'll pick this one up next month.

Screwed is an understatement. I never thought I'd be spending the latter half of my thirties enjoying the decline of the species.

Version 1.00b has now been released for me.

You are playing on PC or consoles?

PC.

After 8 hours I have to say I'm enjoying the game the same if not more than Elex 1.

The new look of the characters and voice acting was very jarring after recently playing the first game, but it's not so bad.

However we definitely need some camera settings/fixes and performance improvements. There's some pretty heavy performance issues in some locations and the fact lowering the graphic settings does nothing to improve performance (sometimes actually making it worse) is a bit mind boggling.

Indeed.

Also, I just read the CDPR is punishing innocent citizens of Russia and Belarus now. Couple that with well known game breaking bugs in CP2077 despite the big 1.5 patch, not only am I done with leftists, I am done with CDPR. They are part of why humanity is screwed.

I blame THQ Nordic for the various changes in the game (some changes I cannot discuss because leftists will get me banned.) I hate publishers like you can't even imagine. I fully expect their stupid decision to have a separate studio remake Gothic to be a major mistake.

Zergoss: I don't get it either, it makes people do things they wouldn't do just to get something that says they did that thing, if I'm doing something, it's because I want to do it, not for some pixel stickers that have no value

edit: Same with playtime, I have both turned off in Galaxy, I don't care about either of those things "oh I played this game for 1700 hours, I'm so cool"
Sometimes when I look at the number of hours I have supposedly put in, I know that they are rounding them up quite a bit, but I still feel like I should spend more time outside.

Anyone else having super slow download speeds? 0,5-1 MB/s

Edited : Might be on my side !!

When are the offline installers coming? Does Elex 2 on GOG have DRM? With me still v1.00b.

Hinter den, unter Sprache -> Englisch gelisteten Installationspaketen verbirgt sich die internationale Version, die dann eben auch die komplett deutsche Vertonung und -textung beinhaltet (im Spiel in den Sprach-Optionen einstellbar bzw. wird eh automatisch erkannt und gesetzt)?
Dementsprechend dürfte die deutsche Version auch auf dem aktuellsten Stand (1.02, wenn ich mich nicht irre) sein.

Oder ist die, unter Sprache -> Deutsch angebotene Version dahingehend anders, das die eben ausschliesslich die deutsche Vertonung/-textung beinhaltet bzw. dann sogar auch die im Spiel platzierten Werbeschilder und Plakate aus der alten Welt statt auf "Englisch" auf "Deutsch" (mit den magalanischen Schriftzeichen) sind?

Also das dann z.B. nicht "BROWNING WAREHOUSES", sondern "BROWNING LAGERHALLEN" zu lesen ist?

Oh, I did not realize there would be a difference. I thought all the installers would be the same and language localization was for the web pages was on GOGs end.
