Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning game discussion


Recommended Posts

So instead of the online pass lets talk about the game. I am pretty pumped right now as I just checked back to their website and was able to get a special edition when just a few days ago they weren't letting anyone order even though it didn't say sold out. I really enjoyed the demo and that pretty much sealed the deal for me getting this game. Looking forward to more of the reviews coming out tomorrow but here is IGN's 9.0

Yeah I'm heading in to pick mine up as soon as I feel like moving (not a morning person.)

The demo felt a little bit unfinished so I'm glad to hear it wasn't based on current code/assets, but it was still fun once you got past the tutorial bit.

Yeah I got drawn into the quest pretty quick, it was also nice when Curt apologized for the buggy demo.

What sort of problems did the demo have? I played it for an hour or so and didn't have any problems that I remember. The pc/steam version that is.

Only had one problem with the demo using ATI's grpahic card. Unless you disabled post-proccessing, all you saw was black screen. Only the pre-recorded cutscenes were displayed.

Other than that, had no other problems. And hearing that the demo was built by a diffrent developer, gives me hope that such problem not going to happen in the final release.

Gotta wait until delivery later today but so looking forward to playing. Been pumped for this game for awhile now. Got my bonus unlock code email, just need the game!

I really cannot wait to use the combat in this game. The demo showed just a touch of it and I loved it.

Here is the GI review 8/10 knocked it for some of the lore, but loved the combat. As for the demo it was mainly some graphic glitches. Every time I fast traveled back to that main city there was a problem with the ground. But it would go away once I moved off.

Kinda on the fence with this. Skyrim and Dragon age were a bit "meh" for me personally. I loved wow`s art style and the fable series, which im told this is a lot like. But worried about long dialogue scenes and "choices". I dont mind one or two but Dragon age was zzzzz.... in a lot of parts due to the dialogue.

:| :argue: Blasphemer! Shall have you drawn and quartered for saying such things! :p

This game looks good, but i have so much Skyrimming left to do. Might pick it up later on down the line.

Gamebreaker.tv is doing a Live Stream for the Game, if anyone is interested to see what the game is like, should go http://www.gamebreaker.tv/live/ to see. But so far, the game is pretty great!

I'm enjoying it a lot, though I haven't gone past the first village. There seems to be a lot to it, and I really like the look of the world. Can't wait for the combat to open up more.

I've started both a Mage and a Swordfighter. Giving them both equal time through to see which I will enjoy more.

This game is just amazing after a few more hours put into it... It starts off slow as could be, but if you invest some time, it is great.

I played as my mage last night for about 4 hours straight. Haven't even touched the main story line quest after getting to the first little village. Just ventured off doing all the little side quest I could. Became part of the council of leaders for the Fea's, and found some neat gear. I'm only lvl 6, so I still haven't aquired more than 3 spells, but there is plenty to the fights now. Being a mage is tough though, as a lot of your moves leave you open for a second or 2 for the monsters to get in a hit, so you have to really be aware of where the enemy is, and how far you want to take your combo.

I can only see this game getting better with more time put into it.

Looks great, but I'm not buying games at 60$ (unless they're absolutely exceptional, i.e. SC2... basically just that game, yeah).

I didn't have what I'd call a good experience with the PC demo. It really felt like a better-than-average console port. I can see myself enjoying it a little more with a controller though. But to be honest, I wouldn't even pay $30 for it. It's just one of those games that, for whatever reason, you can't enjoy. I had a similar level of dissatisfaction with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

I first tried this game like every other game I play (with a mouse and keyboard). However, even though I generally despise using a controller, this game seems so much better with one. I only played about an hour or so into it, but it is really good. I am not going to compare it to Skyrim, because these are two completely different beasts while being in the same genre. It has a decent story, great graphics, fun combat, and somewhat of a dumbed down RPG feel, but not too bad that it makes it boring. If you want a very detailed game with a class that can be built in a thousand different ways, with a ton of different weapons/armor, play Skyrim. But if you just want more of a casual action RPG, try Reckoning. I love it.

    • Cheap labour, the same as the U.K. China pays their people pittance.
    • Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.
    • Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
    • I made a new Cinematic/Trailer for the game, this will be the intro, still a work in progress!  I also updated the Steam page with a ton of new screenshots! 👀 https://store.steampowered.com/app/3925340/Incoherence_Dark_Rooms/
