We’ll start here: if you played the demo and formed your whole opinion about this game then and there, you’ve made a mistake. 38 Studios and Big Huge Games should be probably be banging their heads against a wall for releasing that buggy demo to the masses. It gave a taste of the game they delivered, but that taste wasn’t very accurate.
Do you remember the good old days, when video games put fast hack-and-slashing combat sequences and extensive levelling systems first and a deep narrative with memorable characters second? BigHuge Games certainly banked on gamers holding some kind of nostalgia for those titles of yore with their fantasy RPG Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning.
This is hilarious that i would see an article after I went and re-bought the game and playing it all week! I love the QTEs in this game its satisfying, the combat is fluid where you can switch from weapons to magic so easily, the weapons, armor, quests, character customizations, lore, world, voice acting, are all great this game has almost everything you'd need and want from an RPG!
I really wish there was going to be a KoAR 2!
COG writes - The games of the last generation were amazing and the COGconnected team decided to get together to countdown their favorites. The countdown inches to number 6 and the games are starting to get good... real good.
The journey comes to an end.
Would LOVE to see a sequel to this brilliant game. Wouldn't mind a remake for current gen systems either.
Last I heard this studio went out of business so I would think a remaster is pretty unlikely.
I think EA owns the rights to it now. I loved the game as well. A rare gem overlooked.
Went into a cave for a mission...Mission glitches and I can't start the mission or exit the cave...Auto save and manual saves are within the cave....I messed up so bad I quit. Really good game though.
such a great game, shame about the studio.
to produce something of that quality as their first title, just imagine what they could have done with more experience.
I agree completely. The demo does no justice. It felt different even playing through the part repeatedby the demo. It just gives u the sense of greatness to come, of places to explore and ppl to meet and help. I had the same problems and maybe they shoulda gone fully in biowares direction by voicing my character especially considering how good the actors are. I started it on hard and I must admit that it isn't easy. I love how they mixed real time combat w stats, forcing me to always be aware of the enemies HP gauge. Its been awhile since I actually saved before simple fight because I feared getting my butt kicked. Skyrim doesn't do that, dragon age didn't. I could go on & on and I'm not that far in. I am loving it. Its a wonderful surprise and lead up to mass effect 3, & the witcher 2. I may be rpgd out by summer and i never thought I'd b saying that this Gen.
