Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

[X Knight]

YIKES!!

I may spring for the $80 one ( provided it actually includes in-game content and not just "props" ). but the other two versions?? that's outrageous!!

you could buy a brand new console or a decent PC/laptop for that price.........

no game is worth that much...........

and the worse part?? if/when you go to trade it in, you'll probably still get the same amount you would have with just the regular edition of the game........and that would be < $30 ( if you're lucky ).

A friend of mine kept harping on about this and I ignored him because he often suggests rubbish. But, having read this thread, I am very interested. Thanks fellas!

Does anyone have a fear that this game won't do as well as it should? I have a hunch that if this becomes a franchise it will surpass TES soon, not counting the looks department. The whole "cel-shaded" take is fresh, but I much prefer Witcher 2/Dark Souls graphics, even Skyrim. I miss playing action RPG games with actual special moves (a la Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance), so I am very much looking forward to this release.

It is sad to see that this thread hasn't even hit 3 pages yet, but it is a new IP.

lol there is some wrong with your video monitor if you think that's cell shade. Oh it's "jpg" imgs from GT. no man click the videos you'll see other wise.

[Spidey17]

I don't think it's really cel-shaded, but I also wouldn't know what to call it.

 

[Soapy]

It's difficult to tell how well I think the game "should" do since I haven't played it yet.

todd Mcfarlen would be the best person to ask I guess.

love the art style and the combat!! can't wait for this game!!

I'm glad it's only a month away.

one thing I noticed in the video.........can you not use shields in combat?

I saw the guy equip a shield, but the shield didn't show on the character, and the player never used the shield to block ( unless I missed it in the video ).

in fact, in all of the videos I've seen, I don't recall seeing any shields being used in combat.

are shields just something that add to your armor but can't be used in combat?

I hope not, as I prefer to play as Sword-and-Shield warriors.......

 

[Flash Facts]

You can use shields. When a shield is equipped it does not display on a character. They just appear when you block.

cool!! thanks!!

I guess I missed that video.......lol

that's an interesting way of implementing the shield mechanics. I guess I'd still prefer if they showed the shield equipped on your character......but.......oh well.........game still looks awesome!

I do like the magical talisman shields for the mages. in fact, I may end up making a warrior/mage hybrid. and that's what I love about what I've seen and read about the game so far. you seem to have a great deal of freedom over how you want to build your character.

I wonder if they will release a demo sometimes in the next few months......
