As if people were doubting this was going to be another trilogy.

I deeply hope it won't be a Gothic 3 scale fuckup but there's a pretty solid chance as PB hasn't made a truly huge open world like it since then. One thing I like is that they've shown a lot of gameplay instead of scripted shit and CGI and that has really kept my expectations fair, apparently there's more gameplay to come from Gamescom where the game will be shown. It looks like the game is actually finished and we'll see if it's shit or not in 2 months, it's gonna be a day one yarr harr for me.

Combat in Gothic 3 was terrible. And the 'open world' aspect of it was half-assed. Considering how mediocre combat in Risen 2 and 3 was I don't expect anything different in Elex.

I wouldn't really say half-assed is the word, it literally was not finished, combat? I'll give you that, it was God awful. I quite liked Risen 2 and 3 despite others not, and I thought the combat in Risen 3 was quite good, even. The issue with Risen 3 was more about balancing rather than the combat itself. It was relatively easy to master it and the sense of progression in it was amazing, after getting the attack speed spell from the Demon Hunters and the attack speed upgrade from a trainer along with a strong melee weapon you could basically destroy anything with a few hits, however in the beginning all you have is a shitty Fencing Foil which deals no damage to even weak enemies and you have no skills at all and the first 2 to 5 hours in Risen 3 was indeed painful due to that.

Guy expressed his views, people didn't agree and now he is doubling down on everything. Bit like a self-fulfilling prophecy.
