this game is so bland. I was expecting something like planescape torment meets fable. instead i got a mmorpg that was so bad that they reversed engineered it into a massive singleplayer offline fetch quest catastrophy. in short. story sucks, combat quite good. graphs gayness. thats it. lame ass game . f you all. best regards k?
This game looks incredible, something about the feel it gives across with the WoW style of things really impresses me, going to order it after watching these videos.
Playing dis game for about two hour and swinging A SWORD KILLing anything in my ways.. jeez it was bored afterward..i hate doing quest after quest. just wanna go from town to town KILling anyone and anything tat i can HIT my sword witttttttttttttthhhhhhhhhhhhhh lol..< tat the real fun about dis game anyways for me...AHHA
If only this game has multiplayer like some MMO or something, that'll be great. Playing alone is kinda boring and getting all those cool weapons and awesome skills won't matter if you're the only one being able to see them -_-
The soundtrack sucks. My character does epic stuff, destroys hordes of enemies, alters their fate, summons the wrath of thunder storms (No meteors cause I'm hybrid might/sorcery) and laughs everytime he gets hit!
Why the hell is the combat music always the same boring soundtrack? Why can't this trailer song play when I'm thrashing enemies?
@Entropy56 10th play-through isn't something you should gloat about, it's rather pathetic. seeing as how this game needs 50+ hours to pass.....i feel like telling you to get a life, but it won't change anything.
All those Skyrim fan boys think this is just a copy.. Well its another RPG.. doesnt mean its a copy =_= same with modern warfare 3. Any other FPS they see it as a copy.
My friend was not impressed by this, said it froze within minutes of playing. So I'm wondering if more people experienced that? and is the combat in it as good as people say it is?
@sebodosgames I have 34 hours into the game,on the first ps3 that came out and it does not freeze. Combat is a little boring early on,but once you level up and become more powerful its awesome.
@sebodosgames Been at it for a while on 360 and no freezes yet. I did break a quest though by pickpocketing something i was supposed to loot from the victims corpse. Combat is ok i guess. Playing on console limits your options some though. Bottom line: Try the demo, if you like it buy it. You get your moneys worth as this game is stuffed full of content.
I'm making a BUNCH of Videos of Amalur on my channel, such as combo moves, tutorials, etc. If you want others to see, thumbs up this comment so they know! I'm not in this for the money, I'm in for fun
This is NOTHING like Skyrim. I don't even see how people can compare the two. Yes, they are obviously both RPG games but this game contains way more ACTION and FIGHTING and seems to be a lot more fast paced than Skyrim.
Diverse combat styles? I'll just stick to flinging my chakram at the dudes while my Faer Gorta pet leeches me some life. Usually tends to work out fine, even on most of the bosses.
Yeah i agree, Skyrim is "realistic". I actually saw a dragon on my way to work and almost killed my co-worker when he pissed me off and i shouted at him. I also used my fire based spells to cook a steak cause my stove won't work.
Bottom line, i agree on the immersive part. However, the "realistic" part of your comment is ridiculous. As Skyrim is a fantasy RPG. And we all know that fantasy and realism don't mix.
@mrman72ify Get both, seriously :D Dark Souls is hard as fuck, Reckoning is fun and fast-paced. Both games are immersive, so you'll have fun playing both.
@zhaguar idk they made it to be a single player mmo style game, i think its perfect for me, i always love playing mmos because i love the play style, but i never do it with anyone else because my friends either have shitty computers or are console hardcore gamers. And i don't like playing with random people in mmos...xD
hey guys iunno what to buy sky rim or kingdom of amular... can anyone tell me which they feel is better because they both look like great games, but having a hard time choosing one.
This is how I imagines sequels to Morrowind will be... unfortunately they decided to cater to lowest common denominator, CoDtards and "realism"! *spits*
I am saddened by all the comparison comments this game is getting. WoW and God of War, really? The only game that this thing is a clone of is Fable, and the only feature it actually stole is the theif mechanics like stealth, locking picking and pick pocketing from Skyrim. What this game is actually a clone of is Fable (not that this is a bad thing because Fable is awesome), and it saddens me that so many people miss this obvious fact.
You fanboys need to shut up. If you are TRUE gamers you will enjoy both Skyrim and Reckoning and any other games you use to make these stupid comparisons. All games copy off each other but what you should be looking for is how they innovate their designs.
@Jlmjig Spoken like a real gamer. This games clearly very different from skyrim. I love Skyrim to death, this is clearly more of an action rpg. Honestly cant wait.
@Jlmjig U are so right! I'm sick of fanboys making stupid comparisons that is so shallow and immature. Every single KOA video that I go to, there is bound to be a skyrim comment! I enjoy skyrim and KOA so much but they are both different games and I don't see a need for them to compete with each other.
@Jlmjig they aren't even fanboys, they're just overzealous closed-minded kids. I loved Skyrim and I think this game is great. Just because you like the Elder Scrolls series doesn't mean you have to pledge allegiance to it
@SparxI0 Agreed. What people need to realize is that the executive designer of KoA is Ken Rolston. He was also lead designer for Morrowind and Oblivion. Any person with a decent amount of common sense would realize there WILL be similarities. There WILL be innovations. There's no logical reason to blindly pledge yourself to a single game. Top tier game designers will inevitably make more games. They will undoubtedly like successful design elements. There's no reason to avoid reusing them.
@XpureXrangerX Im sorry but I cant take you seriously, you have a picture of link, have 3 X's in your name, and capitalized every word. Realism does make it enjoyable unless you enjoy that anime stuff where you wield an axe that weighs 7,000 pounds and is as big as a truck.
@owvner112 what did they 'do to shields'? are you talking about how they just come out of nowhere when you block? i can't be the only one who doesn't think thats insignificant can i? why does it matter? lol...
@123ismail1231 I think the race only affects the starting non-combat skills of your character. However some of the races have access to different patron gods that may have more melee based bonuses.
I'm torn...I really like R.A. Salvatore, but on the other hand I'm against generic Hack&Slash games for the most part...DAMN IT... Oh well, I'll play the demo anyway for the ME3 bonus stuff and if it's good I might just buy it.
@Nizzemancer The demo doesn't do the game justice. They have really polished the game since they released the demo. When the demo rolled out the game was still really WIP.
@xZer0nex Well I played through the demo after posting that and It seems quite fun. The combat reminds me a whole lot of the one in the Fable games, only with combos and such, normally don't like melee combat with rogues but if felt quite easy here. Still I have and will be blowing a lot of money on games right about now so I might have to put off buying it for a while.
@xZer0nex I agree, most demos are pre-alpha builds anyways. Its like comparing a car that just rolled off the assembly line to one that is just going in. Personally, I have had this pre-ordered for months. I am so psyched that it comes out next week! This week isn't going to go by fast enough for me.
I definitely was about to buy this game, but after playing the demo I was very disapointed to discover the main character doesnt even have a voice. I seriously mean, Cmon! It's 2012 for crying out loud! Every good RPG title is fully voiced these days (unless it's a Wii title). So fix this 38 Studios and Big Huge Games, get a decent voice actor and add it before it launches!!!
Like a lot of other hack n slash games, the sounds of the melee attacks can really make or break the combat feel. God of War was an amazing game but re-used the same hit animations for every attack while a game like Ninja Gaiden had dozens of slashing and hitting sounds, really made every fight feel fresh and exhilarating. The gameplay and a lot of other aspects of this game look and feel great, but just the sounds are boring and make combat less appealing.
switching between weapons in the heat of battle in the demo was too slow and caused me to take damage too often. and arrows can only be used when locked on? no free aim!? magic attacks take too long to release after pressing the button causing me, again, to take damage.. and talking to random NPC's have no voice actor and the dailogue does a fade-in that takes over 2-mississipi's to appears? it takes forever to talk to them! there's more, but enough for now. GREAT GAME, but needs some polish.
Your hero has no FATE, he then gathers FATE energy by killing his foes. The faster you kill the faster your FATE fills up. Allowing you to Use your FATE energy to preform a FATE attack. Christ how many times do they have to use the same word within a few seconds?
Cant stand games like this. WTF is the point of having Heavy armor on if your jumping 10 feet in the air doing stupid flips and shit? This game looks like nothing more then a rip off of WOW and Skyrim. If it isnt multiplayer then where the fuck is the story!? I dont see anything Engaging about this. I wont put 150+ hours into a world that looks bland and boring.
This is what an rpg should be like, and it is, cant wait preordered like a boss ^.^ the colours are nice and vibrant, the combats not boring like skyrim or wow even, and its not trying to Look the most realistic but still has fair decent graphics :DDDDDDDDD
The demo was pretty fun, but I really took against the art style, it looks too... MMOish... I'm all for not 'grey all the time' games, but just not a fan of this...
I also really did not like the UI, it felt cheap. To me the whole game felt cheap, even though I couldn't put my finger on why...
Still seems like a good game, though. Might pick it up for £20 but not for £30..
@Aperki2010 That's probably because this game was intended to be an MMO when they first began developing it. Now it looks like an MMO, with God of War style combat and Elder Scrolls RPG elements. I'm not sure what to make of it. I played the demo and wasn't really impressed.
@UnremarkableStranger Yes, I'm tired of developers hyping the shit out of their combat mechanics when they are far from groundbreaking. We have seen enough over the top cartoon animations where the hero 'bops' their enemies with weightless chain attacks as blood squirts out from their shiny hides. Groundbreaking would be weapons with straps, sheaths,the ability to choose where that weapon is strapped. Visible progressive armor decay,injury ,etc and weighted weapon strike executions with inputs.
@UnremarkableStranger Honestly, this game is only going to hold your attention long enough until you realize that it is a modified rip off of other games you have played. Just sayin cus I might buy it anyways, but i'm just disappointed that this title has no ugly, violent grit when it comes down to combat or art style.
I've never understood why award winning fantasy creators could never make a game that had realistic combat. It's got to be either over the top animations or a severe lack there of. Here you'll get to unlock all this flashy unrealistic cartoon combat in Skyrim you get to butter your foes with the same repetitive motions. The closest to realistic combat I've seen in a game was Dark Souls yet even they have no real progressive armor or injury damage system.
this game is so bland. I was expecting something like planescape torment meets fable. instead i got a mmorpg that was so bad that they reversed engineered it into a massive singleplayer offline fetch quest catastrophy. in short. story sucks, combat quite good. graphs gayness. thats it. lame ass game . f you all. best regards k?

Still I have and will be blowing a lot of money on games right about now so I might have to put off buying it for a while.

@xZer0nex I agree, most demos are pre-alpha builds anyways. Its like comparing a car that just rolled off the assembly line to one that is just going in. Personally, I have had this pre-ordered for months. I am so psyched that it comes out next week! This week isn't going to go by fast enough for me.

I definitely was about to buy this game, but after playing the demo I was very disapointed to discover the main character doesnt even have a voice. I seriously mean, Cmon! It's 2012 for crying out loud! Every good RPG title is fully voiced these days (unless it's a Wii title). So fix this 38 Studios and Big Huge Games, get a decent voice actor and add it before it launches!!!

@CamKatarn Think how much voice acting and dialogue choices there would be for a game like this. it would take decades.

@Wingnut202 I'm entirely not agreeing on that part. Because why is BioWare able to do this in their games then?

Like a lot of other hack n slash games, the sounds of the melee attacks can really make or break the combat feel. God of War was an amazing game but re-used the same hit animations for every attack while a game like Ninja Gaiden had dozens of slashing and hitting sounds, really made every fight feel fresh and exhilarating. The gameplay and a lot of other aspects of this game look and feel great, but just the sounds are boring and make combat less appealing.

@DarktoothDD Hack and Slash, its an action rpg? and you must be deaf if you cant hear the great sound of this game.

@Blackbase88
I will easily refer to
0:40 - 0:44 0:59 - 1:00
exact same sound file being played.
its that weird squishy sound... I can definitely see this sound file or similar ones being heavily over used instead of diversifying those sounds.

switching between weapons in the heat of battle in the demo was too slow and caused me to take damage too often. and arrows can only be used when locked on? no free aim!? magic attacks take too long to release after pressing the button causing me, again, to take damage.. and talking to random NPC's have no voice actor and the dailogue does a fade-in that takes over 2-mississipi's to appears? it takes forever to talk to them! there's more, but enough for now. GREAT GAME, but needs some polish.

@MrBeauJango The only thing it's lacking that made Fable 2 quite good is how you could interact with townspeople and purchase real estate.

Your hero has no FATE, he then gathers FATE energy by killing his foes. The faster you kill the faster your FATE fills up. Allowing you to Use your FATE energy to preform a FATE attack. Christ how many times do they have to use the same word within a few seconds?

Cant stand games like this. WTF is the point of having Heavy armor on if your jumping 10 feet in the air doing stupid flips and shit? This game looks like nothing more then a rip off of WOW and Skyrim. If it isnt multiplayer then where the fuck is the story!? I dont see anything Engaging about this. I wont put 150+ hours into a world that looks bland and boring.

The demo was pretty fun, but I really took against the art style, it looks too... MMOish... I'm all for not 'grey all the time' games, but just not a fan of this...
I also really did not like the UI, it felt cheap. To me the whole game felt cheap, even though I couldn't put my finger on why...
Still seems like a good game, though. Might pick it up for £20 but not for £30..
Aperki2010 1 month ago
@Aperki2010 That's probably because this game was intended to be an MMO when they first began developing it. Now it looks like an MMO, with God of War style combat and Elder Scrolls RPG elements. I'm not sure what to make of it. I played the demo and wasn't really impressed.

@LeadPipeJustice Does a game need realistic combat? Dark Souls was weighty but not 'realistic'. I think the combat in Amular looks fun, actually.
UnremarkableStranger 1 month ago
@UnremarkableStranger Yes, I'm tired of developers hyping the shit out of their combat mechanics when they are far from groundbreaking. We have seen enough over the top cartoon animations where the hero 'bops' their enemies with weightless chain attacks as blood squirts out from their shiny hides. Groundbreaking would be weapons with straps, sheaths,the ability to choose where that weapon is strapped. Visible progressive armor decay,injury ,etc and weighted weapon strike executions with inputs.
LeadPipeJustice 1 month ago
@UnremarkableStranger Honestly, this game is only going to hold your attention long enough until you realize that it is a modified rip off of other games you have played. Just sayin cus I might buy it anyways, but i'm just disappointed that this title has no ugly, violent grit when it comes down to combat or art style.
LeadPipeJustice 1 month ago
I've never understood why award winning fantasy creators could never make a game that had realistic combat. It's got to be either over the top animations or a severe lack there of. Here you'll get to unlock all this flashy unrealistic cartoon combat in Skyrim you get to butter your foes with the same repetitive motions. The closest to realistic combat I've seen in a game was Dark Souls yet even they have no real progressive armor or injury damage system.
