IG Extended - Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning Preview

[viperdude281]

Skyrim cant even come close to the combat in this game

[keyadone]

@viperdude281 yea i know skyrim's better

[viperdude281]

@keyadone Skyrim is more immersive but the combat is pretty lame.

[touheybasshead]

Great game...It took all the best parts from recent games and put them together to make one game...Also more importantly its fun as hell to play, the way a game should be.

[KillingFrenzy2]

Don't dis skyrim!

[FierceChickenHG]

I hate that guys personality he doesnt seem excited at all by the game why is he even on here

[MugenArena]

im level 17 in this game and ive never seen a monster like that. 0,o

something smells here. :D

[IShotThatGuy]

blah blah OH SHIT...That was close.

[Gosox2525]

@emoharoldz you're a fucking moron

[Scorpion10449]

It seems like another version of skyrim except skyrim actually seems much more interesting

[tacohero]

If only the dialog and story were better it would be perfect.

[emoharoldz]

skyrim copy

[dargon935]

@emoharoldz Ima slap you around fool

[LilDem0n]

I say Skyrim is better because there is a first and third person view.

Plus the graphics are way much better.

[HardWarUK]

What a dumbass player!

[HardWarUK]

Rather than 30 minute video reviews, where the reviewers have only played the game for 15 hours, i'd rather see 5-10 minute video review where the reviewers had put 60 plus hours into it before reviewing it! In the 90's (when I worked in the business in the States), games companies where happy to send out review copies of finished product and then releasing 5 weeks later to fit with the magazine reviews! I don't understand the rush to get reviews out if less play & incorrect info!

[EstevanBruins1]

I have busted the A button on two controllers playing this game.

[pinkhippo345]

i got this game and ima a rogue/mage and so far it does crazy dmg and it rapes i LOVE this game and i might say i like it more than skyrim :O

[GIMPMan1972]

Seems like the XBox version, wow those loading time a are bad, I really feel for console users. :p

[MrVuule]

@GIMPMan1972 They haven't installed the game. I can tell ya, the loading times are very short ;) (Playing on PS3 myself.)

[GIMPMan1972]

@MrVuule Between 1 and 3 seconds on my PC, haha :)

[RemofRenaissance]

Looks like an Xbox game (not 360, 1st gen). Getting decent reviews across the board though and I like an old school RPG so may give it a go but no need for those old gen graphics...

[willituuu]

I'll buy it this afternoon! So excited *-*... But... Umm.. Bah! Fuck social life! x'D!

[xyoojboi2]

why are you pple comparing this game to skyrim?.....these two games are nothing alike.

[xyoojboi2]

i bought this game....three days later it stop working ; ( sighhh huge disappointment lol

[MyBuGGLes]

The quests and bosses and mini bosses are so much more epic than skyrim....

[skully446]

can u turn into a werewolf or anything like tht

[DragonKnightX12]

Skyrim is great game and so far probably was top rpg probably second to Kingdoms of Amalur now.

[justsomrandomguy]

why is it machinima always uses female characters?

[valzyf2]

@alexakis12 there's a difference between a PREview, which is what it says up top, and a REview...

[JCxMagnificent]

when i first seen this game i thought " Yay a new fable game! " but know that i have played the demo this is just better! Its a revamp of fable but needs co-op!

[MMOseth]

this is what Fable 2 and 3 should have been...

[alexakis12]

If you gonna make a review atleast bother to learn the game first !!!!

[hocekyisthebest]

@Mrmixer108 I enjoy this game more than Skyrim too. Skyrim felt big and empty except for ONE thing I loved. At night the Aurora boreaulis or northern lights :) was beautiful

[MrMixer108]

Is it wrong for me to say that I love this a whole lot more than Skyrim? It took a while for me to get into Skyrim and actually like it, but never really loved it. I haven't been able to put KOA down since I got it. It's amazing, the combat feels great and rewarding, the boss fights are awesome, the graphic style (one of my favorite things about the game) is amazing and the world is incredible. Skyrim's map felt too big, dull and empty, while KOA feels full of life & color and has more energy.

[FlintSparkedStudios]

This game felt like it was from 2005 or something when I played it. Oh well. Thanks for the mass effect 3 unlockables. ^_^

[Binarymodus]

@FlintSparkedStudios Thats cos its made for a console that was released in 2005 ;)

[muhamed282]

It's a good game,,,,,, game is cool



[PaulXPZ]

wow i didn't realize how big the loading times are for the console versions.. makes me glad i have a pc the loading times on the pc version are less than half of this.. i usually can't even read those little texts during the loading screen

[anthonygamer]

@PaulXPZ Long load times here because the game wasn't installed. Genius.

[PaulXPZ]

at the beginning why the heck don't you use reckoning mode? the fate meter is full?? n00b :)) also i think that quest is a bit too much for a lvl 4 character i did that quest at level 11 i think..

[Examode]

does it have monster hunter elements like crafting?

[Darksoulsisawsome]

@Examode yes combat with a greatsword feels a little like monster hunter too just a little though

[92stoner]

@Examode

Things like monster hunter.

1: A fast and responsive roll.

2: A wide variety of weapons and armer.

3: Lots of enemies.

4: Crafting and Gem socketing.

5: LOTS AND LOTS OF FUN!!

[iTrellen]

multiplayer?



[lyrics4yours]

@iTrellen no

[MrChelove]

Can you switch to first person mode?

[stroudwes1]

liked elder scrolls for but not skyrim. hope this is better

[Silencer01]

I'm looking forward to this, but if it creates some sort of meme that people will abuse like Skyrim did then I'm going to be seriously P.O.'ed. Fingers crossed.

[sUiSid3]

its likeskyrim but you know more fun

[xTheSweetness]

mana regens there was something wrong with your character whatever that red skull on the side was it was draining your mana

[Alvadar64]

god these guys are retarded

[murwaz]

I have played skyrim for almost 500 hours and love it but this game seem awesome and doesnt seem to have alot of the stupid shit skyrim does. ^^ I'm gonna buy it for sure! :o

[superackbar]

@murwaz

Hey hey.... Don't be talkin shit about SKYRIM. Respect games individually ;p

That being said... this game looks... so so... based on this trailer. Not excited about it, but maybe a rental.



[billybobhortons]

@superackbar fuck skyrim its not an rpg its a fuckin disgrace

[GIMPMan1972]

@murwaz It does a lot of the same shit and holds your hand the same way, graphics are even worse as well being a port.

[murwaz]

most epic inventory system ever? :D

[Scottyl35]

Looks like Golden Axe from the arcades

[generalcreation]

@Scottyl35 not sure if srs

[FraerOK2]

if only this was a mmorpg=(((

[DeuSxo]

how long is this game in gameplay terms ?

[LaMOi1]

long load times...

[xCoDxGameplayx]

@LaMOi1 they have said if you install the games the load times are almost a quarter of what they are now

[afxtal]

The first half of this video is good... the second half devolves into just nonsense.

[FatBastardSwa]

you guys are just so bad at video games i have no idea why IGN is still around.... fuck...

[bvsandman]

I liked the game, only thing I wish they did was give different races, it's a fantasy game and all 4 races look the same. Maybe more talent trees as well, the same Tank/2h Archer/Rogue Mage game play.

[InsaneDw]

presentators are assholes suck it guys

[Lucatero710]

can you make your own character in this game? Someone please reply back

[thebat991]

@mastrmoon theyll fix them. i played iit ar least 10x. i keep hoping to get the chakrams again ........ than i realized the smith sold them xD

[anobeisegoldfish]

16:48 bottom right...you killed zelda!

[anobeisegoldfish]

YASS CONSOLE !!!

[binabinacat]

This game is terrible. I played the demo the whole way through hoping it would get better but it never did.

[shadow122694]

R.A Salvatore and Drizzt Do'Urden ftw!!!

[ConAirAmvs]

i know this is probably a dumb question but will the armor u where effect ur speed ive seen alot of gameplay and so far i havent been able to tell if u have an answer thanks

[jebwatson]

@CyclonicDeath better than a WOW fanboy...

[jebwatson]

@generalcreation I will concede that it is oftentimes nice to take a step back from ultra realistic graphics, but I don't think skyrim has ultra realistic graphics. That's not to say they aren't pushing the limits as to what they can do, but there are better graphics in other games. I just don't like cartoony graphics in games. Even a hint of them is just a game-breaker for me.

[jebwatson]

@kylejks1 Because COD is crack and Halo is amazing. We know COD will sell wildly because the people playing it are twelve and have their parents pay for it. Games that are deep are typically played by older crowds who actually watch their money. Halo has yet to disappoint and it was (and arguably still is) one of the greatest gaming franchises of all time, on par with Mario and Zelda.

[CyclonicDeath]

@jebwatson Xbox fanboy

[jebwatson]

I'm liking first person in skyrim better and I don't like these cartoony graphics and HUD. Content-wise, however, this game does seem very deep. Unfortunately, those graphics would just ruin the experience for me every time I started playing.

[generalcreation]

@jebwatson imo the graphics for this game is very refreshing, games are starting to get TOO realistic. The graphics are light, vibrate and with SOME realism.

[D3AFsingleMan]

is this any MMO's or just RPG regular?

[clearasil11]

@D3AFsingleMan It's a single player RPG, but it seems MMO-ish because at first it was intended to become an MMORPG

[D3AFsingleMan]

@clearasil11 I wish it was MMO's So we all can play online just like FFXI and FFXIV.. Should have had it done in Skyrim too.. But it doesn't.. So Reckoning is regular RPG, sad no online :(

[vincentnguyen777]

that other dude who's not play is so negative and is annoying as fuck. stop nit picking at everything you overly critical douche.

[ZoddGuts]

Game looks good.

[krat40]

"just gunna pick white guy"..."I can play as that"...hmmm, preference of racist? lol

[krat40]

@krat40 26:30

[highpriestess2be]

WOAH WOAH WOAH! It just turned from "reminds me of Fable" into extreme Fable when it got to the load screen!

[MrStunner43]

this was a solid demo. im not done with skyrim yet but i still might just have to drop 60 bucks on this title. cant wait to get my hands on this.

[phongaz]

Some things never change. Retards comparing WOW to everything but instead Skyrim now rofl play the game love it or hate it

[TiGRiZ1]

Lovely?.

[jean8mathieu]

This game will be multiplayer or no?

[captainclayman]

@jean8mathieu no multiplayer just single.

[unratedPT]

It lookes super good and doesnt have infinite bugs like skyrim on the ps3 looking forward to buy it since I didnt got skyrim because I saw so many issues on the ps3

[RKOkyle]

@unratedPT skyrim came unplayable for me due to its lags and bugs. your lucky you didnt get it.

[sageauditore]

@unratedPT you missed a lot in skyrim but i admit this is better

[greend614]

@harvesterofgamez113 Watching and playing are two completely different things to me. If I watch a game being played that I want to play, I usually don't pay attention to details when I'm watching. Just gameplay and graphics really.

[Psiwt]

The interface might not be clunky on the consoles but on PC it's horrendus, as usual when devs port games. It's ok though, the awesomeness of the game makes up for it.

[Ninjal3x]

@Psiwt agreed i hated the interface and the mouse sentisitivity. its a shame because its such a good game otherwise.

im sure someone will mod it to make it bareable

[CeliriaRose]

@Psiwt The game isn't ported. All 3 versions were build simultaneously in house.

[Dhoska]

really looking forward too this game, had alot of fun in the demo :p

[Farbo123]

Why did I even buy Skyrim.

[hellskidz]

I managed to kill everyone in that town at level 2...then again i was a mage but it was easy. This kid sucks at playing.

[adamdragon88]

argh!!! the waiting is terrible!!!!

[vorriskl]

I couldn't tolerate 2 minutes of these guys talking, much less 31 minutes. Waiting for the demo to finish downloading so I can try it for myself and not have to listen to these guys. Game looks pretty good though.

[L0NL3YASIAN]

I love it feels like god of war and warcraft made a baby

[claytonswan1]

the combat was way to easy.. either mages are OP or this guy is bad. I killed everyone in this town using only the maged ranged weapon. Was pretty lame... if the game gets harder then I might consider. Also... is it me or does does dieing have no consequences?

[mastrmoon]

@krillemy yup I hope they fix it too, though I doubt it because it is really close to the release date. It will probably be patched...

[greend614]

I can't wait to get this game! I'm not getting the demo so I don't spoil it.

[harvesterofgamez133]

@greend614 but you want watch this ? ....

[btbrotherton]

This game seems awesome I can't wait to play the demo

[btbrotherton]

haha, "kill it good"

[TheTrueSouldier]

After playing the demo and seeing the world map, I'm psyched for this game.

[mastrmoon]

The demo was great! I played it four times.The combat is like Fable but way better. The story seems to be pretty good(I really don't care that much about it anyways). The crafting system is soild. Its like if Fable and The Elder Scrolls made a baby. Plain and simple. There is one thing that I had a problem with and it is the graphical gliches that occured throughout the demo. I'm going to buy this game, because I enjoyed the demo immensely

[krillemy]

@mastrmoon I hate these graphical glitches too i am on the playstation 3 Texture fails all the time

[hindazz829]

@mastrmoon graphic glitches are supposedly non existant in the retail copy

[steadycrushin]

@mastrmoon supposedly the bugs have been fixed for ps and xbox. i played the demo on pc and had no problems

[will57ishere]

@steadycrushin The demo supposedly was a earlier build of the game.  Although I played the demo twice on the PS3 and had literally no problems other than some odd glitch where the ground would become clear and leave impressions on whatever was above it.

[MrJGamer17]

@mastrmoon Yeah but the even better thing is they patched all the graphical glitches because people complained because of the demo

[TheGreatSimonski]

Flimsy combat, amateur interface, story is tripe.

Needs a lot of work that can't happen before the release date.

Rushed by EA? Probably.

[adamdragon88]

@TheGreatSimonski Honest question...do you suck at the game or just not like it? Cause i found the combat insanely awesome, interface great, and story...well damn thats a lot of attention to detail!

[TheGreatSimonski]

@adamdragon88 How could anyone suck at it? The game's a cakewalk.

The combat is a shoddy implementation of Fable I, though I'll grant you that the rolling feature is pretty neat. Blocking though? That's piss poor.

The interface looks and feels terrible, compare it with budget titles like Dungeon Runners or Torchlight, it uses space inefficiently and the keybindings to access basic things (inventory mainly) are piss poor.

The story is just cliche. The dialogue writing is weak.

[angelpooz]

bland

[Justsomeperson660]

I don't see what the big deal is at all. It doesn't seem to be anything special. The only original thing is the combat system.

[SpectreGuy1997]

this game is horrible. Played the demo, and its crap.

[kylejks1]

i dont understand y people rat on ok games but when a new call of duty or halo comes out it gets game of the year before it even comes out

[wubwubwubwwsbnfklmds]

I played the demo, and honestly...I'd rather play fable.

[SpectreGuy1997]

@wubwubwubwwsbnfklmds agreed. So much.

[TheWaRGFX]

Meh this game sucks, the menu look like there were designed with crayon, rip off of GOW with that power mode, cluttered UI tried a mass effect dialogue attempt and looks disgusting (black bar you kidding me) and quick time events? are you fucking retarded nobody likes them every big enemy.

[Ysmir96]

@kirobz As long as you mean the rim of your car flying through the sky and not the one I've been playing since the 11th of November, then yes... xD

[CrzBonKerz21]

@randomhero543 The only reason I'd say that Kingdoms of Amalur is not comparable to Skyrim is because they are 2 completely different types of RPGs.

[madaraofakatsuki]

@kirobz no of course not

[TheReymysterio23]

the combat looks really good

[TheReymysterio23]

the guy who is not playing is fcking bahsing the game efore its even started.He so negative about it

[GamingStew]

The thing i hate about this is that every space is huge

[MrPersianjewman]

This game looks like itd be a cool MMO, but if I cant play with other people, do co-op or pvp, etc. idk I would really want to play it...

[hindazz829]

@MrPersianjewman the game world for this game is an mmo world, their is an mmo based in the exact same world currently in development

[8BitMunky]

Yeah the camera really sucks, that's my only gripe with the game.

[SgtHyabusa]

...so it's like Fable 2 if it was good. Cool. Might be worth it.

[kilometre42]

Graphically looks unimpressive and I'm a bit concerned about the camera control and loading times. I love these loot-based dungeon games though, so I'll give it a shot once I'm done with Skyrim.

[caketakeshh]

@kilometre42 The Demo is based on a four month old build. And they also started a forum for a month ago that have a big "fix the camera" thread

[nimrod791]

I Thought this game was probably the worst RPG i have ever played, just saying...

[noahDnewport]

You think this game having similarities to Elder Scrolls has anything to do with it being designed by the same guy who was the lead designer on both Morrowind AND Oblivion?

The Elder Scrolls is a great series, but you fanboys kill me. Elder Scrolls was not the first RPG ever, and a lot of its best elements were "inspired by" other games. The Elder Scrolls series has never been entirely original, but that never made them bad games.

P.S.

The combat in this game puts Skyrim's combat to shame.

[8BitMunky]

@noahDnewport I agree, the combat kinda reminds me of God of War in an RPG setting. I like this game a lot.

[ecmpave]

mana does regen u have a curse

[ecmpave]

Its not polite to wear hats during conversations duh!

[MrGigamaster]

This game looks promising

[kirobz]

Is it wrong to say that I'm liking it better than Skyrim?

[xXRandomPILLXx]

@kirobz nope :D but I honestly thought that skyrim was kind of disappointing.

[jackafa92]

@kirobz ya its wrong. i liked it alot but skyrim can rape it easily

[JGenck]

@kirobz No, I have Skyrim and will be getting this. To each their own.

[8BitMunky]

@kirobz Me too! :P

I don't know, the world just seems so much more alive and interesting. In a way it reminds me of World of Warcraft, which is a good thing.

[hindazz829]

@kirobz not at all, its all personal preference, is it wrong to say that i consider this just as good as Skyrim?

[MrNguyenTD]

@kirobz it isnt wrong to say that. but not really good preparation between skyrim and Reckoning .

This game more about fantasy and quick action ( like God of War) which I love to play

and Skyrim they try to make it realistic , it seem like real life combat.

each game have it own interesting depend on gamers.

I think I will check this game out after finish few time skyrim :)) but skyrim's graphic look kinda better

[IhsaanS]

@MrNguyenTD this game also has dialogue like Mass Effect, Dragon Age and SWtOR (except your character is silent again)

[LazzerLad]

@kirobz not at all

[apocevil]

@kirobz Same as me. I Love Skyrim, been playing since the release date, but this game feels totally different, combat is perfect and seems to have a great story too. Played the demo several times on PC and after the demo preorderd the game. Will play this game till Guild Wars 2 comes out.

[harvesterofgamez133]

@kirobz no

[Soneeytor]

@kirobz Skyrim is a bit overrated in my opinion.

[VandalVortex]

@Soneeytor yes, you are absolutely right.

[BaeBlizzard]

@Soneeytor gasp

[shishir16089]

@Soneeytor i dnt think so ..skyrim is the best rpg that i have played till date ,tons of content,none of the missions are reptative ..it has one of the best enviornments in any game ...what more do u want in a game

[Soneeytor]

@shishir16089 I didn`t say skyrim is not good, i said its overrated - theres a difference you know...

[shishir16089]

@Soneeytor ya there is a difference but ..i dnt think so that game is overrated.any how not compard to mw3 or bf3 ..i guess it did not even win any game of the year awards..

[Queenrocks20]

@shishir16089 No repetitive quests? Really? You and i must have been playing a completely different game then.

[shishir16089]

@Queenrocks20 i dnt remeber playing same kind of missions in skyrim...for eg all of the dark brother hood missions were different from each other ..well ofcourse u had to kill some one in each mission..but it did not get boring... and ur hearing from this person who hates repetation in any game ..i could not play rage for more than 2 hrs ...ok forget abt rage i could dnot even finish gta 4 cause of repetation

[Queenrocks20]

@shishir16089 Umm okey. Thats exactly what their not when you finished the main quest for the dark brotherhood, then you get the extra quests called "db forever" Its simply-> go talk to him, then kill him, over and over. I had to go to the exact same spot to kill the same looking hunter, 3 times..

[shishir16089]

@Queenrocks20 ...thats cause u have finished the brotherhood quest...the game generates random characters and u have to kill them ...u cant finish those missions cause they never end...its good if u are low on cash..

[Queenrocks20]

@shishir16089 Yea i would guess so. Could just be a glitch. Anyhow its not that bad.. I still love the game as much :)

[shishir16089]

@Queenrocks20 tons of stuff to do so many side misssions ...this game woud never get over
