Daav from NoobFeed.com takes on the action RPG created by a baseball player. EA sure makes some strange decisions, but in this case, most of the efforts have paid off. Even if Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning has a few minor indiscretions, it looks like a promising title for anyone that wants a hacking, slashing, looting, fantasy experience with a twist.
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 believe this is the first RPG since ff13 i can get for the ps3. I can't wait for this. My only concern, on console, is how it can look so good in some places and kinda low Res outside. That and a few bugs that i hole r worked out in the final release. But, overall, i liked the demo alot. And i believe that ppl will find the combat to b much better as u progress, less hackney slash and more strategic
I finished the demo 2 times already, once playing an assassin and the other a mage and quite frankly although the combat is really great it felt like i was playing an mmo...
All the while i was exploring the countryside it was almost like i was playing wow or lotro which for me isn't really a great thing.
Anyway i really liked the combat (reminded me of Darksiders) so ill probably give it a try when the price drops down because in my opinion 60$ for this game is a bit too much.
After playing the demo, I'm really excited for this game, but I wish people wouldn't compare it to that disaster known as 'Fable.'
