Anyone Get Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning?


Recommended Posts

Wow, didn't even know RA Salvatore was the main writer for this game and he created the world it takes place in along with the lore. That is awesome... so few games have truly professional writers, let alone one of Salvatore's caliber in this genre. Also, Todd McFarlane handled the character design, which totally makes sense now after seeing it.

How in the world did the game creep up on people.... demo was pretty good and the people behind making the game are as solid a group as any. I think I'll be picking this one up soon.

Just bought it the other day. Plays a lot like Fable, and seems to have much more going for it. Great game.

Yeah that's a good comparison... Fable with maybe a better combat system.

On that note, I was always somewhat disappointed with Fable... not because it's a bad game, just because Peter Molyneux makes it out to be so much more than it turns out to be. Always has, always will... not sure why I always buy into his stupid hype.

you do the faction/side quests? or just the main story?

I did the factions and probably 70% of the side quests, along with the main story. I'm just one of those people that picks up the story without reading the dialogue or watching the cut scenes. That, and after a couple of days I didn't die anymore because I figured out the best way to fight.

Another cool little tidbit is that 38 Studios, the company that developed the game, is owned by Curt Schilling who is a huge fantasy nerd. Some pretty impressive names involved with this game, but I haven't played it yet.

Crazy.

Still haven't picked this one up... somehow it keeps slipping on me. It may have to wait until it hits a price drop though... the lineup of top games this year is insane.

38 Studios missed a loan payment at the beginning of May and now looks like they might be in some financial difficulty.

It's not easy in the gaming industries these days. I hope they make it because their game Kingdom's of Amalur was impressive and I'm looking forward for part 2 and beyond.

Unless I am mistaken, this game was supposed to establish the world and the lore and the next game would be an MMO based on it.

Medieval RPG.

Oh, no thank you.

When I was to young to actually understand it I used to have final fantasy mystic quest, game was boring as **** to a however year old kid. Haven't touched an rpg since.

What has changed over the years? Do they stool have that what dynamic where you don't actually control your character during fights. Like pick an attack and have no influence over if it hits or not.
