My personal impressions and thoughts on the demo of 38 Studios and Big Huge Games' epic fantasy RPG Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning as played on the Xbox 360.
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.
"Just fooled around with the demo on the PC. Yes – the game looks hundreds of times better here than on the consoles. For whatever that’s worth."
Did I sense a hint of sarcasm there?
i thought it was pretty buggy but a decent game (on the PC demo).
i played the ps3 demo and was rather impressed with the game as a whole. While the graphics clearly were a throw back to WoW it was a breath of fresh air after spending 300+hrs in skyrim.
I did really experience all the bugs i had heard about. no feezing or complete game breaking flaws, i did experience some pixel stretching but nothing that stopped the flow of the game.
maybe i just got lucky.. but its definitely on my list of purchases now.
