  • i cant make up my mind lol ill try stick to 2 classes from now on

  • fuck god i hate you skyrim fanboys, on almost every single game video i seen you refering all games to skyrim, I just get so damm pissed off ! I dont have anything against skyrim i just hate to see all games comparing to be lesser than skyrim -.- Im sick of it so whould you do all of us a favor and stop refering all games for god sake

  • i Believe this game is supposedly the recarnation of Fable 1 and 2. This game is what Fable fans longed for after Fable 1 !

  • IGN and Gamespot now call RPG's like this "Action-RPG's". Now given that EVERY RPG EVER RELEASED has had combat in them,and for 20 years were just called "RPG's", why are they now called Action-RPG's?

  • Those of you comparing Kingdom of amular with skyrim are quite ignorant. The two games focus on two different aspects of the RPG genre. It's like comparing a gram cracker to a salted cracker....anyways I didn't care for skyrim myself but I'm not going to bash on it, it's a well thought out and constructed game, but not what I like. Koa was brilliant. 9/10

  • @detch420 I completely agree with you, people dont realise that. I loved Skyrim dont get me wrong but the combat sucks for me at least always seem to be hitting the air. While KoA doesn't do that.

  • I don't have enough room here to post my full review of KoA, so after dropping 20 hours into it... It's a 5/10. (If you haven't played Skyrim yet, it's an 8/10)

    Play Skyrim. Epic, pure, gorgeous, and untouchable. 10/10

  • Game was amazing, main quests were not a lot compared to side quests, inventory system SUCKED and the loot was kinda rubbish. Random loots, random sets, certain weapons not available for a long time

  • Don't put points into lockpicking, the mini game is appalling and so damn easy to beat it's surprising the developers even bothered to put it in.

    Other than that a pretty good game.

  • crafting is pointless.

    best skill tree is finesse.

    game complete in less than 20 hours.

    my score 6/10

  • @mrfastreaction By "game complete" do you mean the main quest? Because there is TONS of more quests to play

  • @DrFludd

    yes the game is complete in my eyes. ive seen the hole world.

    so i have not collected 10 items or killed 20 murlocks for example. games complete if main quest is complete

  • wait a minute, this guy's name is COLIN MORIARTY? the asshole from megaton in fallout 3?

  • @MrRel000 hey! Moriarty was a nice guy!

  • @MrRel000 LOL thats crazy how even his first name is the same as the FO3 character....

  • i'am a Dokkalfar,but i started out as a Rogue/Archery build. I figured it was weak for beginners,so i changed to Battlemage. I love how uniquely different this RPG game can be. Unlike DA,and many RPG intros. You're not stuck with one Class from the beginning. Instead,you're a Mixture of all Classes. You can be Mage/rogue , Warrior/Mage,Warrior/Rogue. One of the reasons to try this bad boy out

  • @cutiepe2ce In Skyrim you can be mage/rouge/warrior all at the same time ^^

  • @DiViNiTY1337 The thumbsdown about Skyrim is the Meele combat system and each time u Level,u only gain 1 attribute point,(which sucks as u can only invest 1 perk for the varieties of skill trees). In this Case,you're so focused on investing points into morphing your Character to a specific class. Skyrim only has its diversity and exploration. KOA R ,u are the Jack of all Trades ^^.

  • @cutiepe2ce Haha yeah I play both games and I like both of them in their specific way, I find myself enjoying Skyrim more though :)

  • @cutiepe2ce also its one of the few where you can respec anyway! like in skyrim you cant whivch ruined it for me...... but this game rox

  • @901snx Basically,you're primarily not tied down by disadvantages. The game creator's was inspired by Fable and wanted a "Jack of all Trades" idea while creating this game. This game has flawless oppertunites for improvment,the lore itself is quite fascinating but its Diversity and Skyrim is on different scales. Each time u level in Skyrim,u Can only ADD ONE ATTRIUBUTE POINTS to each Tree, It SUX alot. The repeative 100+ over dungeons filled with traps gets tedious and predictable. Puzzle=Ok

  • Wasn't thinking about purchasing this game today but I decided to give it a try. I think it's a great game. Nothing Outstanding like IGN thinks. Does anyone agree that IGN ratings are fucked up?

  • @Lomns ign rating is right, this game is amazing when you getting deeper into the game. it's very addicting and fun.

  • @zome0101 I guess. Something told me the same thing you just said. That things will get better later on in the game. I don't want to feel as if I wasted money.

  • ive preorded this game

    

  • @totalgaming72o Okay shouldn't you have received it today dude? WTF!?

  • you'll be MINE, MIIIIIIINE hahahahahaha!!!!!

  • One more Daaaaaaaay!!!

  • @MrJGamer17

    pushedbackto9febuary

  • wish that this was on macs to :(

  • @demyrik lol macs

  • this is what it look like if skyrim and fable had a baby... I might buy this game....

  • @Steampunk915 well there is a Demo on steam for this game :D id say check it out. its pretty awesome. AND if you play the demo with a EA account you get free helmed, If you buy the game on steam ^^

    Id tried the demo, and i must say its pretty awesome, i might say better then skyrim but thats just my own opinion.

  • @Diffusionish This is a great game reminds me a little of world of warcraft. Skyrim to me is still better though

  • This game has "budget title" written all over it. I played the demo, and it was alright, but I really can't see the game reaching any large degree of success.

  • Winner: Dark Souls

  • Comment removed

  • gonna be a stealthy assassin class ftw

  • Krazitrini this game has no co op or split screen

  • looks pretty good... thinking of making a purchase of it from steam sometime.. Worth it?

  • @ZigZagGamer anything through steam? yes, just dont use orgin =D

  • yo is dis game like champions of norath, does it have online? 4 player and splitscreen, sombodiiieee answer my questions.

  • FABLE ON STEROIDS EPIC

  • Ive played the KOA demo and am impressed; combat is simple and satisfing and the story looks ok from what ive seen, in all cant wait

  • this game just isn't fun

    

  • Any game that allows me to throw a Lance of Longinus into somethings face is a must play to me im so playing this game it will hold me over until the glory that is ME3

  • is there a date???

  • is this a fully open world game? it does not appear so...

  • @DancinRick20 if by open world you mean freeroam, visit anywhere at your own will kind of thing then yes it is very open world. It's like WoW

  • Destinies seem very narrow and useless oh. It basically feels like you get thrown a couple a passives maybe a different roll animation and that's that. I know it was just a demo that was old but how was the combat innovative at all it felt like a button mash with the occasional swap over to you second weapon which didn't even flow since it would restart the attack combo.

  • HAZAH! i knew there would be a console version of wow eventually ;)

  • @zombiedeathkill lol its not like wow whatsoever

  • @zombiedeathkill no, this isn't even close, I'm sorry. But its nothing close. This lacks well, multiplayer. It lacks raids and pvp, which are what really make the game. It can't be a console version of something, if it doesn't have something that is like(surpassing or being worse) then the thing it's "a version of"

  • it's like oblivion meets fable ii... which spells awesome for me.

  • @TheStandardYTAccount Use the left analog stick to switch enemies, I think the auto targeting in the game is awesome

  • this game ill rock my world =D

  • Comment removed

  • i really don't see the hype about this game. just a different story with the same stuff we've all seen before. if IGN wasn't covering it i doubt anyone would care as there are better games out there in the genre. and if the game is actually good, the demo certainly does not do it any justice, a simple meh at best. i only played it to get gear in ME3.

  • @3000whateverman stuff we've seen before and does not do it particularly better than the rest of the games out there

  • @3000whateverman give me a few examples of better game out there that are the same ? ur talking absolute rubbish.

  • @subterraa clearly you do not understand my words as it sounds like you have nothing to add other than blindly defending the game so i don't feel obligated to answer your question. good day

  • this looks insane - like oblivion with wow gameplay and dark souls bosses

  • IMO reckoning holds out better than skyrim as a whole.

  • This looks like skyrim but with an actual combay system

  • @rockerravers are you fucking kidding me? :[

  • @ONA5252 Are you implying that Skyrim has a good combat system? Because it doesn't, it has no depth.

  • @CyclonicDeath I've enjoyed it, it's nice and simple, that's enough for me, that's all that matters..I've played Kingdomn of Amalur Demo and from what I've experienced the combat is not that good, the field of view and the camera is not that good either..I'm looking forward fot the full game though

  • @CyclonicDeath from my point of view, honestly, not being bias i still prefer skyrim's combat. I call it manual as u can do your timing how long you would want to hold your block, where you want to aim your arrow etc. the combat system above feels a lil too typical, im not trying to offend but to me it feels like i've been playing with the almost same combat over and over again, a few click and u keep hitting casting skills etc. in the end of day, its up to a person's preferences.

  • @zalws You mean like a first person shooter? You just made Skyrim sound like a FPS game. I would much rather have a button layout that i actually USE unlike in Skyrim. Stop being a fanboy, you ARE being biased. You're hugging Skyrim's nutsack, you're offending Amalur's combat by comparing it with a 2 button combat game. The front buttons are used as 1st weapon 2nd weapon Evade and Interact, not to mention the should buttons allow you to bring up the magic menu. SKYRIM FANBOY GO AWAY!!!!

  • @CyclonicDeath dude, skyrim's by right fps+open world+rpg elements. Without the new third person view camera, the whole game will be like an FPS. & im not talking like skyrim is an fps just that the combat system is something different from most rpg. Guess ur much a KoA fanboy urself, for being offended? im just voicing my opinion on what i like about skyrim, i nvr voice anything about KoA doesnt mean i hate it? i didnt say skyrim is top of everything. you dude, use your pee-brain & re-think.

  • @zalws It's funny that you felt like going into my profile to call me a ''noob'' because of me offending your precious Skyrim. I'm not arguing with a lowlife like yourself that wants attention, go play Skyrim if it's so great and stop watching KOA videos you piece of shit.

  • @CyclonicDeath Whats wrong with Skyrim? O,o

    Ontopic: Tried the demo of this game and pre-ordered it 1 hour later... Gonna be GOOD.

  • @CyclonicDeath cause you're big time noob :) with poor evaluation towards simple english comment. Nah you didnt offend, was dropping by your profile & wow a list of hating comments so i jumped in the band wagon, seems like you're much hated. Got a problem with me calling you noob? :). look, cunt head, i didnt mention either of them, KoA or Skyrim sucks or better. I just mentioned i prefer Skyrimand that doesnt mean KoA sucks. So must you come trolling zapping like a kid? Grow up.

  • @zalws pee brain

  • @sravanth333 guess you just got a can of whipped cream shoved up ur ass :).

  • @zalws I guess it's because you have nothing better to do other than to post pathetic nonsense opinions on youtube, but then again youtube is the only place you can get the attention you oh so desire. I unlike you don't have the time to go into someone's channel and check their COMMENTS and use them against them in order to try and sound smarter, do you honestly think that would hurt me? I don't give two fucks what a loser like you has to say, you're truly pathetic. Enjoy the block list.

  • @CyclonicDeath If that makes me so, must as well accept it :) thankyou? But you're as well are lifeless to fight back what i comment or so called bias protested to what you were standing for. Conclusion, ur nothing but the same :). Attention trolling cunt head. If that dont anger you, why cant you be cool enough to shut ur vulgar? God, you suck at pretending seriously. You dont give 2 fucks? really? then why bother blocking me? Seems like, you're all that you said to me hahaha.

  • I played the demo.

    One thing they need to add in this game is the ability to choose your targets when using the bow.

    Seriously, I was being attacked by wolves, so I got out the bow and it aimed at a deer T_T

  • @TheStandardYTAccount Lol someone had to pay....

  • With all those class combinations, it should've had a 10vs10 PvP mode.

  • This looks so much like WoW + Fable combined... EPIC!

  • This looks like Fable without the suckage.

  • Just when I was thinking of saving some money after Steam's sales...

  • @lordwouter7 as is yours

  • Looks too cartoony for me but love how you can create a giant spear and stab it threw a monsters head. Looks like a good game and sure it will do well but I am sold on Skyrim

  • Demo was great. The combat may not be as good as Demon's/Dark Souls, but it was still very fun. Way more than Skyrim's combat.

  • @OpenSeasonOnXbots Not as good? It's a whole different style yours is an opinion.

  • @lordwouter7 Sorry. Didn't mean to make you mad.

  • did anyone notice the spider man music?

  • Stop freaking criticizing every game like skyrim and etc.Skyrim might be boring to you but that doesn't give you the right to insult it.

  • i love RPG action-adventure games

    last year skyrim and bastion is on top 5 list

    and this year KOA:rekoning and ME3 are in my must play list :)

  • spiderman theme song playing at the background :D just letting you know

  • this looks really good

  • 1 week to go. 1 fucking week to go!

  • Y U NO HAVE DWARVES D8!!!!!!

  • I thought 'screw the 10th of february', and pre-ordered it xD

  • The demo didn't really do much for me, however I'm still very interested in the game.

  • I don't see why skyrim fanboys have to be categorized as haters. I enjoyed skyrim, and I'll probably enjoy this too, as it seems quite epic.

  • @stevodude45 In every website ppl say "Better than Skyrim?", "Plays better than Skyrim" and such. Skyrim is epic to me and this game's demo gave me the same idea that it'll be awasome.Comparing is stupid since it is, at days end, your money that you spend to buy your fav game. So I don't see how comparing would do anything, be it filling up your pocket OR suddenly getting this game for free. :D I say, enjoy both games. I love skyrim and this demo did it for Amalur too.

  • All i say is play the demo before you judge.

  • this games demo was so fun!

  • If this was an MMORPG it would be good but thats not what it is.

  • This game seems good, but skyrim still looks better. maybe it's just my preferences to the type of gameplay.

  • Thought this game was going to be crap. Played the demo and completely took back my initial impressions. Definitely looking forward to this.

  • I now know what I'm spending my birthday and Christmas money on...

  • @MrN1310

    Hookers

  • Looks really good, but the choosing abilities and such looks really complicated.

  • @MrN1310 it doesn't matter. if you make a mistake you can ask a fateweaver to change your skills and do it all over again

  • This relly looks like an awsome game but the best aprt is after finshing an epic combat scene U R all like awsome its a RPG im almost leveld up and im gonna try this skill/

    cant wait for this game hope its not going to get berrid at the end of the year with all the tons new games that gone come out

  • Liked demo. Totally different to Skyrim.

  • I played a female Dokkalfar and I took all my equipment off. ;)

  • Great game! And i hope that the MMO they have in the making, comes out on xbox, i doubt it will... but if it does, They have just made themself possibly the most know game in the world!

  • @PositivityT3K

    Why don't you just play pc with your xbox controller. Problem solved

  • music is epic

  • FUCK THAT! how do i get a badass looking armor?

  • @Zipst700 lol im hoping tha same shit

  • honestly i bought skyrim, because i was hyped about the release just like everyone else. then when i actually bought the game i never opened it. it just sat there for a few days then i returned it :p didnt seem like the game for me. but kingdom of amalur HELL YEA! imma be on that shizz when it comes out. ;D

  • @ctrlshiftaltdel

    Skyrim is a game for everyone. It's one of the best games to ever exist. It deserved the hype that the elderscrolls series and western rgps in general should have gotten a long time ago

  • @AzumGaming thats an opinion to say the game is the the best to ever exist, i like elder scroll games but skyrim was just boring and meh

  • @atomicalphamal3

    1. I said ONE of the best not the best you moron :)

    2. Denying skyrims greatness is stupid. It's obviously a matter of opinion but saying that it's boring is just stupid. I am not a zelda fan but I am still able to see the greatness in it. It just doesn't appeal to me. What's not to like about skyrim. Amazing story great combat memorable characters good voice acting story and sound effects. Great graphics for pc and a pretty big world.

  • @AzumGaming Skyrim was personally to me, crap, 4 days into playing it i noticed it was the same thing over and over, vs the same monsters in a different cave, to get to a dragon word.. where a draogn would sit and die so easily.. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

  • @PositivityT3K Dude you talk like you could make a better game,do you know how much money do you need to make a game like skyrim with lots of voice actors and HD graphics and etc,let me tell you this its freaking expensive.Like most games it gets boring after a while but thats just how games work whether you like it or not.Also most games are repetitive example games like skyrim,fallout,minecraft,Wow,H­oN and etc.

  • @AzumGaming Be that as it may, it's certainly NOT a game for everyone, and people can certainly find it boring.

    And 'denying its greatness' is perfectly valid because it simply isn't great. It's a good game, not a stellar game.

  • I played this demo and honestly for me it was very meh.

  • Successor of fable, since Microsoft killed fable with kinect

  • The fighting reminds me a lot of fable.

  • Loved the demo, really reminded me of the oringal Fable, this is what the awful Fable sequals shouuld of been like!

  • Skyrim is like the COD of RPGs...what a shame

  • wtf is rogery? lol come on colin. cant wait 1 more week!!!

  • What a skyrim rip off huuuuurrr duuuuuurp

  • @D0OMZDAYZ Typical fanboy comment

  • @TheWitchking123 Note that the "huuuuurrr duuuuuurp" indicates sarcasm.

  • @KIinkKIink

    You obviously haven't played the previous Elder Scrolls have you?

  • @TheWitchking123 its because of fanboys that the develepors dont invest in new projecs they perfer to do secuals i perfer original projects any time as long they are god games

  • @GamersTheCreed Indeed...the fanboys of Skyrim are the most insane/ignorant fanboys ever in this gaming generation(or maybe even in the history of gaming)..yes the MOST!..All these excessive fanboy hype is the reason why I did not buy Skyrim..If you are a true RPG fan you'd be enjoying all RPG games not taking sides..I don't want to say this but Skyrim fanboys have ruined gaming for me.. and also..I might get a lot of hate for this..but..I hate Skyrim more..than COD & BF combined :(.

  • @TheWitchking123 dont guet me wrong but skyrim is one of the best rpgs to ever come out but that does not mein that the other games are shit or that you have to compare everi game to skyrim kimdoms of amalur is a great game in is whon rite dont nede to compare it to other games

  • @TheWitchking123 If you didn't play or buy Skyrim then how do you know if skyrim sucks or not.

  • @GamersTheCreed Skyrim is now like the Justin Bieber of gaming :(

  • @TheWitchking123 Just because Skyrim has alot of fanboys and is overated that doesn't mean you have to insult Skyrim by saying this.Also Skyrim isn't the only game that is overated and has alot of fanboys, games like minecraft has a ton of fanboys and is highly overated,same goes to WoW,HoN,battlefield 3,call of duty black ops and other call of duty games and etc.So I will have to disagree with you.

  • Very reminiscent of Fable

  • Skyrim+Dragon age+Fable = Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning. = WIN.

  • 24 people are skyrim fan boys.

  • i played the demo, and found the whole interface to be too cartoony, and the actual game to look like the fable series, which isnt bad at all, but the childish interface is annoying

  • Comparing this to skyrim is like comparing MW3 to BF3. Essentially the same idea but the actual gameplay and design is unique to the designer.

  • Is this god of war combined with skyrim?

  • Played the demo and loved it!

    People shouldn't compare this to Skyrim, the feel is totally different -- very cartoony and overall the fantasy realm feels different, kinda like a single player mmo with deeper stuff in it.

    The combat is amazing and I love the mechanics. I was waiting for this kind of game for years, and finally I'll soon be able to buy it! :3

    Just wish Japan would do something like this cause, well, I love anime - but hey! It's cool.

    Can't wait! XD

  • @DevilBuster3 Agreed. It's a shame that Japanese developers don't even try to evolve and push the envelope when making RPGs. I don't have anything against JRPGs, but they're just full of too much baggage that the genre should've gotton away from years ago.

  • @DevilBuster3 Im getting sick of Skyrim anyways… game got boring fast

  • @DevilBuster3 the reason it feels like an mmo is because the planned it as one at first, but then they decided to go with sinlge player.

  • @DevilBuster3

    It's like a mix of fable and an actual rpg :P

  • @DevilBuster3 I know, people shouldn't compare. We all know Skyrim is way better.

  • @IceyCobra MISTAKE.This game didn't even come out and already you are saying Skyrim is better? You have to COMPARE to say which is better. BUT WAIT! U aren't suppose to compare both of them to begin with since both of them may be RPG but they look and play very differently. I must say though, SKyrim is badass (especially w/ modding). This game looks good and will play good but don't know how much modding can be done on this (I love modding).

  • @DevilBuster3 Yeah, a game like this in anime would be awesome!

  • @DevilBuster3 you should try the "Tales" games, it's not exactly like what you're talking here but they're pretty awesome.

  • @justmedawg

    Yeah I like the Tales series. Played Eternia, Vesperia and the World Radiant Mythology series. Enjoyed all of them, but I liked Vesperia most, mainly due to combat and no random encounters which persisted in Eternia.

    Although it wasn't the open world experience I am looking for, I enjoyed the games, and Yuri, Rita and Raven are my favourite characters. ;]

  • People shouldn't compare this game to Skyrim. They are too different in terms of gameplay and look.

  • Looks like a cheap version of Skyrim, but I'll check out the demo.

  • Looks like a good, legendary RPG, reminding me of RPGs like NWN and BG. Cant wait for it to go out.

  • wow when does this game come out never seen this game what platform ist available where can i buy it looks pretty good

  • This looks amazing. It kinda seems like a less boring skyrim. I mean that in the nicest way possible. (probably gonna get some hate from some fanboys here)

  • @naynay457 yeah and in 1:37 the boobs moves great

  • jade empire meets fable!

  • this game is awesome & its the first good rpg of this year,thats a fact.

  • people are complaining on the graphics but the graghics don't make a game tha story does so hopefuly the story will be great and i am a fan of RPGs so i am hyped

  • @omeganocturneTypical of RPGs. I played the demo and the only thing that bugged me was how the shield pops from non-existance when pressing the blocking button.

  • @Voidic yea, lol that bothered me too... though apart from that the game seems solid
