Anyone else seen this?...
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning By the looks of it, it's one lawsuit away from actually being Oblivion/Fallout/Skyrim. It's part designed by Ken Ralston, who was apparently lead designer for Morrowind and Oblivion... I shall be getting it - hopefully - today...So it may put a sizeable dent in my time...  ...The reviews don't paint any picture that would threaten the Elder Scrolls stuff, but it looks decent enough for a first game in a series...Apparently...Anyone else looking into it?... |

Well, the animations are certainly a lot better than in the ES games! It is hard to really tell much about the game from the trailer they have on their front page though. It is a showcase of the graphics and fighting, but really does not give you any idea of what the real gameplay itself if like. In fact it looks more like an FPS or fighting game than an RPG. Although poking around the website found things like classes, and that you can use different gear.
The Brigand Hall Cavern demo actually tells you a lot more about the game then the opening trailer. Here I can see RPG elements. The way you can alter your class as you play sounds excellent. In fact, it looks like more of an RPG then the Mass Effect games are. The art design of the world looks excellent. It does look interesting, and worth giving a try. I'll keep an eye out for it. If I see it in a store, I'll probably buy it. This post has been edited by SubRosa: Feb 18 2012, 07:12 PM -------------------- |

I bought this game a when it was released, though I haven't had much time to play it.
From what I have played, it's a decent enough game. The gameplay is good and the world looks great. Don't expect any of the stunning vistas as seen in the ES games though. The world is quite free roam. All the towns and villages are linked by convenient little ravines. You rarely stray too far from a road. Though, as I say, I haven't played much, it's still worth buying. -------------------- Au Revoir |

When I played the demo, while yes I LOVED playing as a shirtless dude, it's not worth 60$ IMO, maybe 30 or 20. -------------------- |

Second impressions...
It's not bad actually...I was more impressed in the 20 mins I had of my second go than I had been the first hour and a half... It's a huge game too...The map makes Skyrim's map seem like slight stroll...  ...Not got that far yet...Been busy...But I'm looking forward to doing a bit more now... Still not worth £40 though ... |

Yeah I've played this game quite a bit now. It is pretty fun after you spend an hour or so in it and really start to connect with the atmosphere and story. It is a very large and open game with what looks like limited or no level scaling, which means that if you try to progress too quickly you're probably going to get owned by enemies in certain parts of the map.
The graphics are pretty unique, as are the races and factions. The environments vary a lot as well. I dumped quite a few hours into it and while it isn't Morrowind or Skyrim, it is a pretty entertaining game. -------------------- He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby become a monster.

All the sidequests are horrible boring MMO quests.

That's because it started life as an MMO then they changed their minds...Hence the size of all the caves and stuff...
When I'm not playing it I miss it...I really did enjoy it...But then I get back on it and soon enough, I wish I was on something else... ... |

And starting it as an MMO was the worst bussiness decision ever. MMO's are the most expensive games to make,ECSPECIALY(SP?) for a first game. And that's why Studio 8 is gone. |

Espescially...
Yep, they needed to sell three million units in three months to break even...They only did one and a half...Shame, I would have bought the sequel quite happily... |
