Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

[Flash Facts]

The demo is out. Seems a lot like Fable.

 

[X Knight]

can you create a character in the demo? can you choose your gender and race?

 

[Soapy]

Yes to all of that.

 

[Benstamania]

Playing this game I get a very big "Fable" vibe... Only I feel it has to potential to be much better than Fable II and III. Almost what Fable II SHOULD have been..

 

[Soapy]

Having played the demo, I think Fable is an apt comparison. It's like that with a bit more depth.

 

[Benstamania]

Yeah, however.. I wish that there was a bit more choices for customization. That's a fairly tiny nitpick though.

 

[Soapy]

You mean like appearance?

 

[X Knight]

Yes to all of that.

cool. thanks!

downloading the demo now.

 

[Benstamania]

You mean like appearance?

Yeah, I guess Skyrim kind of spoiled me there. I mean, we still get a handful of choices but being able to edit those choices even a bit more would have been a plus.

 

[Soapy]

Yeah, more customization is always welcome.

Speaking of Skyrim, if Bethesda were really smart, they would have had a nice big piece of DLC ready to go for when Reckoning comes out. Sort of like how Blizzard usually puts out a big content patch right around the time a new MMO's release date.

 

[jacobed]

Definitely get the Fable vibe except this game is already much better than Fable. It feels like this game is going to have the depth of a world like Skyrim has but will have a much better combat system. Great demo and I look forward to the game.

 

[Soapy]

Reckoning seems like it could be a "the porridge is just right" type of game for people who might think that Fable is too simplistic and The Elder Scrolls is too much to handle.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

I've been keeping an eye on this game, so I played the demo and aside from a few bugs, it was enjoyable. The art style is impressive and the combat is solid. I'm not getting this game when it launches, but definitely later down the line.

Also free ME3 goodies.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Got around to trying out the demo and wasn't overly impressed. I deff understand the comparisons to Fable. Not really a fan of the art style. I did love the stealth kills though.

 

[Donut]

I got the armor for M32. So just let time run out & you get the rest of the stuff ?

you mean ME3 right? lol

 

[socool]

Played the demo...didn't really like it. It's sad too because I was expecting a lot coming from the director of Morrowind and the combat director of God of War...

Oh, well...got my ME3 armor!!

There are just some Demo's that don't do the fully fleshed out game justice.

[CapedCrusader14]

Didn't really like this, at all. Can't complain about the ME3 bonuses though.

 

[BizarroAids]

This game has sucked me in. I hqve actually had a lot of fun playing it, and replaying it. This game wasn't on my radar until a friend mentioned the demo, I gave it a shot and I was really pleased. I like some RPG games, but now I think I'll get this one when it comes out.

 

[Drz]

Did anyone else feel the combat was slower then they tried to promote it as?

 

[Soapy]

Yeah, the combat felt rather sluggish to me.

 

[The Squirrel]

Are there any ME3 bonuses other than the armor? I haven't let the timer run out yet.
