Totally agree! As for this particular game, I followed its development for a while, but eventually dropped it from my Steam wishlist mainly because I just can't get into the game's setting/world. As a passionate fantasy fan, the world of this game seems too "techy" for my tastes. But I would be interested the thoughts of anyone who's played it.
Malcador Posted September 16, 2021 Posted September 16, 2021 Decent enough reviews, PCG gave it 58, did say it was very buggy. But I paid for it, so will see how my low standards self finds it. 1 hour ago, Keyrock said: If this whole non-combat RPG thing were to become a trend, I would be perfectly fine with that.

Hurlshort Posted September 16, 2021 Posted September 16, 2021 Yep, I realized I haven't actually had any combat in Encased either, and I am about 10 hours in. It is an option, but it offers a lot of ways to not fight. 2

BruceVC Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 https://www.windowscentral.com/dying-light-2-delayed-february-2022 Dying Light 2 has been delayed till 4 February. I am fine with that because I would rather wait till the game is ready according to the Developers than get an bug ridden game due to early release like Cyb2077 DY2 also is bigger and better on every level so delays are understandable "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

melkathi Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 Before I went to the supermarket, I noticed Hurly got his first kill in Encased. I come back from the supermarket and the Encased devs brought out a HotFix. If the two are related, then wow, they are really fast.

Some crazy guy in a ventilation shaft was my first act of violence. I could have just avoided him or reported him to security, but I decided it was time to test out all these fancy weapons I carry around. Plus I recruited an orange as muscle to escort me around, and I needed to see if he had the cajones. I'm playing Silver, of course. 1

Zoraptor Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 Well, that's unexpectedly good news, even if the trailer is 90% random dance party for some reason. Some may say that Elex is the most jank of eurojank games, but Outcast was in a class of its own. And it had the best soundtrack of all time. 3 1

On a serious note, very little gameplay was shown so there wasn't time to show off all features. That said, I will be EXTREMELY disappointed if you can't go prone.

Zoraptor Posted September 18, 2021 Posted September 18, 2021 So not only did canon Jax pick Caja instead of Nasty, but he also got her up the duff and is now a deadbeat dad? #notmyJax Still, guess the apple didn't fall too far from the tree... 1

Maybe that's just for the trailer? In an ideal world you import your save game from Elex (or answer some questions at the start) and an early cutscene or two is different depending on who you hooked up with. Then Caja/Nasty gets killed off for your standard revenge motivation and off you go.

Humanoid Posted September 18, 2021 Posted September 18, 2021 (edited) Everyone seemed young on that brief glimpse we got of the portrait page, it'd make me think it was a prequel but MD is there and he was meant to be a rookie in JA2.

Keyrock Posted September 18, 2021 Posted September 18, 2021 No clue if this game will be any good, or even what kind of game it will be, given the lack of gameplay, but that's one hell of a trailer: 2 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
