Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning

get the fuck outta here

Stopped playing 5 minutes into the game.

Forgettable trash

>>381938341
Holy fuck. You couldn't be more wrong.

It's the easiest game ever made. You will never ever ever die. Ever. Game's boring as fuck. Shit art design, too.

Basically a singleplayer MMO with no sense of challenge.

I played on the hardest setting, btw.

Fucking neck yourself.

>>381938341
cause its gay

I thought it was ok but just stopped playing it after an hour and I don't know why. i guess I just lost interest..

>>381938341
It was the very definition of mediocre. I completed it once, "enjoyed" myself, then never touched it again.
I even had the shitty psn download version where that cutscene showing off the entire city would play every single time you entered a city.

>giving money to the fucking cancer who killed the devs
I seriously hope you aren't this much of a retard.

How did you finish it?

I was so fucking bored. I'm a difficultyfag, but Christ. Shit was fucking awful.

Did you die even once?

>>381938341
just pirate it, there's absolutely no reason to buy it

>>381940556
Cut him some slack. Shit's been dead for two decades.

>>381940642
>How did you finish it?
I finish every game I play, no matter how boring or bad. I usually have very good judgement and I liked SOME things about Amalur, but the level scaling and loot system really fucking destroyed most of it.

P-please buy Kingdoms of Amalur, w-we used all the money in our state to make it for you...

>>381940642
i finished it although i skipped a lot of the side faction quests
i had a warrior or w/e using 2h maces. the melee combat is way too easy so I decided to make a caster character
using magic in the game is boring as fuck...

>>381938341
Because I have a grudge against the state of Rhide Island. Pirate it.

>>381940818
>Level scaling
I've not played it. What was up with this?

>>381940818
>>381940890
You guys are stronger than I am.

Blade of Darkness is the best action RPG game ever made, little kiddos. This also goes to all you Dark Souls babies, that worship a copy of the original.

>>381938341
Because after the tutorial and the first theme park section, it gets boring and repetitive as fuck.
It's literaly MMO: The Singleplayer but in a more dumbed down version.

>>381941147
I can't remember.

If you do any of the side quests, you'll be way higher than you should be.

Someone should archive the Shitaku article that explains the development cycle. Shit's fucking retarded. Good read.

>>381940451
Can someone please elaborate on this? I was thinking of buying it, because it looks interesting enough, and I haven't bought anything yet this sale, no games look worth it at all.

If you go to a new area, it's locked at a certain level and stays there.
So, you need to grind to a high level for the previous areas before even stepping foot in a new one or it'll get capped at a low level and give you shit for loot.

Visually gorgeous, lore-wise interesting, gameplay-wise an absolute boring trainwreck.

>>381938341
YOU CAN'T LOOK AT THE SKY. YOU CAN'T FUCKING LOOK AT THE SKY. IT'S CLAUSTROPHOBIC, YO.

I liked it. And the dlc with the pirate too.

>>381942167
How? Weren't you bored?

Did you die even once?

>>381938341
I've tried playing through this game twice.
All I can say about the game is mediocre.
It brought nothing new to the table.
The inventory system was clunky and annoying. VA was ok. The world was boring and uninspired. nothing made me care about the generic storyline.

I never finished it both times, but the second time around I got to the end at least and watched the rest on youtube. Worth a couple of dollars.

>>381941946
Yeah, but I didn't find anything that anwers my question.

>>381941773
If you like the Action RPG genre you will love this. Combat is extremely fun, the destiny card system makes you character literally the way you want, huge open world with great scenario variety, enemy variety is better than most hack and slash games and the lore is really rich. One thing /v/ is right about this game: It's easy on medium, start playing it on hard.

I recommend it a lot. Far better than any Souls, Dogma or any other shitty RPG that /v/ likes.

>>381941773
give it a try
my complaints are
>fighting with spells is boring
>skill tree not too interesting
>melee combat is fun but very easy
>limited customization
>camera is too close to the character and cannot be changed

stuff i liked
>story was okay
>some monsters are cool looking
>zones were nice

>>381938456
pretty much this. It was decent, but it's nothing outstanding. Pirate it, sink a few hours into it, get bored, delete it, forget everything about it.

What's Curt doing now? He still playing MMOs?

>>381942783
>>camera is too close to the character and cannot be changed
that's called fov you philistine fuck
and you can easily mod it

That's ok. My state has enough problems. I'd rather donate $5 in tax than help Rhode Island with their fuck up,

>>381942731
Nice try Rhode Island.

>>381942731
Holy fuck. Are you being ironic?

The game is retarded easy on Hard. Extremely easy. Like absolutely no fucking challenge easy.

Might as well play a fucking phone game.

>>381942897
it's not fov you retard
i want to zoom out the camera not increase the fov

>>381942478
The game, or at least the pre-release demo didn't allow you to turn the camera upwards. You could try, but somewhere slightly above head level it just stops, so you could never see what was above you. It was the weirdest fucking thing I've ever seen in a 3D action game.

Does this game have a variety of interesting class builds and weapons?

>>381943042
Good combat is meaningless if it's so easy a literal fucking retard can win.

I could probably get my dog through the game using his paws to control shit.

>>381938341
The DLC quest with the giants was pretty damn fun, but it's lacking everywhere else...

>bailing out Rhode Island on its bad loans
Why?

>>381943259
Stop. You're making bad decisions.

I'm cheap, but I still don't wanna pirate the game. It's 5 bucks, so even if it's as bad as you dudes say, I wont really regret it that much.

What about the DLC's though? Are they worth getting? It's 10 buckaroos with all DLCs.

>>381938341
I'll be honest, I've never seen anything with "Reckoning" in the title that was a good piece of media.

>>381943275
This.
>>381943259
It's got pretty standard melee, ranged and magic. And you get god-like no matter what you do. And it's fun no matter what you do.

>>381938341
Pretty much these: >>381938782
>>381942783

It's not terrible. But it's not great either. It's just kind of bland.

I guess it's worth a try if it's on sale and there's absolutely nothing else you want to buy, but I can't really recommend anyone purchasing it. There's RPGs with better combinations of RPG elements, plot, and action.

There's also lots of outfits that NPCs use that aren't available to the players, including the one featured in the OP. That outfit is exclusive to an NPC tied to the main quest.

>>381938468
This isn't the first time you've said this

>>381943042
Cool to look at once or twice. Too slow and repetitive after a while.
It's hard to find the balance in an ARPG/hack and slash game.

>>381943514
It's gonna stain your account.

>>381943514
Legend of Dead Kel is ok.
Teeth of Naros is fucking amazing.

Yeah, the dlc is worth it.

>>381938341
Played the demo years ago on the 360 and it was boring as shit.

>>381943592
>There's RPGs with better combinations of RPG elements, plot, and action.

I understand this, but personally I think I've played them all, and this one slipped through, and I'm also having an itch for a game like this. I still can't decide if I should cop though.

The combat is alright if you accept that despite the game heavily guiding you towards being a jack of all trades you're heavily penalized for not just picking a tree and maxing it. Bows are stupidly strong and there's no excuse not to run around spamming them at people.

The first few areas show promise but then it's just the same enemies over and over again, to the point where by endgame you're just fighting multiple red crystal trolls at the same time every encounter. Combat becomes a chore eventually, no enemy variety and the same dodge and spam strat kills everything fastest

The fae shit is neat but poorly explained and badly shown to the player. The world being deterministic and predestination being true for everyone but you could've been really cool and interesting but it's just an excuse for you to kill people you """shouldnt"" be able to which is lame.

Dark elf chick is hot but it's just a cocktease that never goes anywhere

Dont pay more than five dollars for this game. It's worth a single playthrough if you really need an RPG to play but that's it.

>>381943735
I already have Grim Dawn to stain my account, so it's too late for that.

>>381943798
Have you played the Gothic games? Risen? The Witcher? Arcanum? Arx Fatalis?

Dude, didn't this game make Curt Shilling sell his bloody sock?

Kingdoms of Amalur is one of those vidyas I'm ashamed to rate 10/10 just because I had so much fun playing it.

>>381943996
I've played all of those, beaten every Gothic game and Arcanum multiple times already.

>>381938341
I played it a bit when it came out, all I remember was how stupidly easy the combat was and how boring this made it. It also legitimately felt like a SP MMO, which fucking sucks.

>>381940556
.hack is cool because it uses the setting of an MMO to tell an interesting and unique single player story, with a gameplay style that is unusual for single player games.

Kingdoms of Amalur is trash because it uses the gameflow of an MMO to tell a boring and generic fantasy story with substandard hack and slash gameplay that offers nothing interesting or out of the ordinary.

>>381940556
.hack isn't a "singleplayer MMO" though. It's a pretty traditional action-JRPG, that just happens to be set in an MMO.

It's also really good, something that Amalur lacks.

>>381938341
this game is repetitive, and mediocre at best, stfu kid

>>381943398
>According to the 38 Studios Founder Curt Schilling, the governor of Rhode Island, Lincoln Chafee, calling the game a failure caused a publisher to pull out of a 35 million-dollar deal that could have paid for a sequel.

>Good combat is meaningless if it's so easy a literal fucking retard can win
It also isn't actually that good. It's like the most basic and rudimentary action game combat you can find. There's nothing in the way of interesting or unique tactical options. It's all just juggling braindead enemies with mindlessly easy combos. At best you can say that it's functional and controls well, but that should be the bare minimum. Even something like Darksiders completely trashes Amalur in terms of combat.

In fact, anyone who's interested in Amalur should just get Darksiders II. It's practically the same game, minus a character creator and plus decent gameplay.

It was about the first singleplayer RPG I ever played on PC so I didn't have much to compare it to else than WoW. I went to look some gameplay of it since people have that far negative opinion about it and its been over 4 years since I played it, I can completely now see why.

>>381945731
Reckoning was meant to be the first entry into a whole Amalur franchise. It was supposed to introduce people to the world for the MMO they were planning. They were two separate things.

>>381945430
that is funny, i read that he spent it all on cars and shit and failed to pay his employees and the loan he got from Rhode Island

Not into chink themed games either.

>>381945979
Blade of Darkness is the best action RPG game ever made. Sadly not on steam.

>>381946149
Yeah. The staff said it was great. Too bad the studio was doomed.

Even if they released the MMO, they'd have fucked it up. Guaranteed.

>>381946268
Fuck it. Just buy Kingdoms.

I warned you.

kek

>>381938341
It's got a cool setting that is kind of fun to take a romp through. That's about it.

It's mostly pretty boring, but it's not exactly bad either.

I played it on Xbox and never really got far in it, but I might give it another look if it's cheap and on PC, especially if it has modding potential. It'd probably be significantly better on PC, even. I'd still wager that it's likely a waste of time.

>>381946527
Not sure. I think there's an issue with the game running in newer OS than Win XP, and they never fixed it.

>>381946454
Isn't it worth simply for the aesthetics? Game looks comfy.

>>381943042

Chakrams are the only thing that KoA had that was really fun to use and wasn't commonly used in other RPGs.

I hope other future high fantasy RPGs introduce circular throwing weapons that wizards can use to unleash sick dashes and dizzying flashy combos upon their enemies.

>>381946754
I don't know either, but it was quite cute seeing Alyn admitting her feelings.

>Isn't it worth simply for the aesthetics? Game looks comfy.

Yes it is. Go for it and have fun.

>>381947307
Generic isn't a strong enough word.

Ok so, does the game have classes or just weapon types? What the most fun to play?

>>381948046
I like how the more I tell people it's shit, the more interested they get.

Pretty soon shills will start using reverse psychology.

>>381938341

this game is just tediously long. The world isn't even that big, but it just FEELS long and stretched out. am I the only one? I can play Oblivion, Dragon's Dogma, Two Worlds, etc without getting this feeling.

>>381948318
I'll be honest. I only want to play it because the environment looks like WoW with updated graphics.

Is it true that you can't control the camera at all though? I'm looking at gameplay footage, and it's too close to the character for my liking.

>>381938341
I always meant to try this but it released at pretty much the exact same time as ME3.
Then the series got cancelled and it seemed pointless to get into it.

>>381948441
Nah I feel you.

>>381938341
tried it twice (without paying), it's not very good. no immersion, no challenge, no good music, no good visuals, too generic in many aspects.
I'm probably spoiled by more recent RPGs

>>381948591
Now is a great time, reeally good price on Steam.

>>381948441

Dragon's Dogma was an incomplete game, but it at least had an aura of mystery to the whole story/lore plus an awesome soundtrack and pawns and awesome combat to carry it. Plus pawns and getting involved with online communities made the game like 10x funner.

Oblivion had mods plus some pretty interesting quests, plus top-tier Jeremy Soule compositions for maximum comfy.

It's pure suffering if you're a completionist and want to tackle all the sidequests. Combat is Fable-tier but less satisfying. Though in all honestly, I probably would be more forgiving if they included stripper armor like Alyn Shir wears.

>>381948523
You can rotate the camera, but I don't think you can zoom in with it.

>>381941773
Pirate it, EA killed the devs, they dont deserve money.

Ok guys, one last thing.

Can you play as a woman, and dress her like a slut?

>>381949117
Fuck EA, but fuck also dealing with buggy virus ridden pirated versions.

>>381948046
Yeah it have classes, it uses a card system for it. Take a look ar this:
http://amalur.wikia.com/wiki/Character_Classes

>>381949180
Yes

KoA is trash and so is Curt Schilling. He's a trash baseball player, trash commentator, and trash video game maker. Fuck him and fuck you, you quintuple nigger

>>381949180
>Can you play as a woman
Yes.

>Dress her like a slut?
Unless being in respectable-looking armor and fancy-looking robes with a low neckline counts as slutty where you come from, I don't think so.

However, I haven't played the DLCs and am only about halfway through the game right now. But some cursory googling about the subject shows that the KoA devs did not include revealing armor for the player. This is somewhat frustrating, as there are a handful of NPCs with clothing/armor that would not be out of place on a nexusmods "Hot Files" feature for Skyrim or Oblivion.

>>381949362
This looks cool as fuck. What are the odds of them making a sequel, and working on all the flaws everyone is taking about?

>>381948523
You're gonna play it for like two hours. If that's worth five, do it. See if I give a fuck.

You're better off playing World of WarCraft or trying XIV. Even F2P MMOs have some modicum of challenge.

EA didn't kill it, Their own development studio was at fault for their own demise. In fact EA was eager to give money for a sequel because it sold exceptionally well. I can't believe im defending EA but thats what it was

Yeah, is quite neat.
You look intesrested enough anon, go for it, you will like it.

They had unrealistic expectations of the game. They didn't understand the industry they invested in and got pissy when they didn't get immediate returns.

Amalur is a pretty average game though. If the combat wasn't so boringly easy I would have finished it. I got heavily into modding to try and fix the difficulty but could never get it into a good place because of the scaling.

reminder if you're a tax paying citizen of rhode island you literally own this game and the entire IP.

Honestly, human beings like you should be labotamized. You're shitting on the studio over that?

>>381938341

Because of the way the zones are level-locked when you enter them. Basically, if you explore the whole world available to you, you'd never be able to level higher than level 12 because the enemies and zones would be level locked to your level when you first enter them - 1. Your only EXP would come from quests after a certain point. TERRIBLE design. Otherwise, awesome game. Played for many, many hours.

They wasted money.

I got respect for him. He loves vidya. Doesn't change the fact that they fucked shit up.

Read about it. That's just one minor example.

One of the biggest shills is 100% shilling on /v/. Why you still didn't report him anon?

>mr baseball man shopped his game around literally every vc firm in boston and they all passed
>local lady who was running for state treasurer at the time told the government not to back the game
>schilling was told to scale back game but all he wanted was to be "bill gates rich"
>r.i. politician (now governor) called the game “the worst investment that’s ever been made, I think, in the history of rhode island”

good read for anyone interested on how fucked this game was from the start

>>381938341
loved it so much have like over 300 hours on it I think, always wanted a sequel that wasn't their failed mmo, damn shame I'll never get one.

>>381938341
Original devs got shitcanned and they don't see any of it so no reason to pay for this just like vampire tbm

I'll admit that the Fae storylines were pretty interesting. Unfortunately, most of the lore and polished bits seem to dry up after you progress past the City of Ysa (last part of the first main zone of the game).

>Curt Schilling was recently fired by ESPN in large part because of his frequent social-media activity, specifically controversial memes

It was supposed to be a mmo. It's filled with boring quests. There was only one quest line that was interesting because it was an actual ministory within the game. The one where you had to figure out why the town was being over run with spiders and shit. All the other quests were kill x, y times and bring me 5 bear butts.

>>381959574
Curt's a /pol/tard, isn't he?

>>381959593
>It was supposed to be a mmo
No it wasn't. It was prequel to a planned MMO. There's trailers ands even gameplay videos of the mmo and it's a very different game from Reckoning.

>>381960179
They sliced a chunk off and made it singleplayer.

>>381960664
Nope.

>>381938341
I loved Amalur during early game but hated it late game. The areas close to the end are downright fucking boring and all the NPCs in the game have no personality. Loved the first half because it had that vanilla WoW/Fable 1 feel to it.

>lore good
>music god tier
>atmosphere good
>quests fucking terrible
It's fun until 3/4s of the way through. Last few areas are downright awful. The elven swamp near the end and the final area were fucking bad. Enjoyed the story and final boss so I guess that's a plus. I pretty much played it normally until I got bored and started rushing through everything near the end

>>381945351
Play Baroque.

>>381938456
This, the combat is fun but the overall game is boring and slow as fuck.

>>381960706
Look it up. I'm pretty sure I'm right.

Not invested in the game, so I'm not gonna argue with you.

ouch, that's gotta hurt

>>381962763
No. Read the fucking Shitaku article. They released Amalur 'cause they had to release something. They needed cash.

EA wanted it singleplayer, so they obliged. Then they got funding from Rhode Island to continue making the MMO.

Seriously. I'm not shitposting. Google it.

Played it for 20 hours and then quit. It's too easy and repetitive.

I played 40 hours, got through all of Dalentarth and started in Erathell.

I realized I was only like 25% of the way done with the game and I was bored as fuck with it and stopped playing.

I wouldn't call it anywhere near the best, but it's pretty fun for what it is. I just wish the mage class was less overpowered. It's disgusting how strong magic is in this game. Then Teeth of Naros grants access to Primal Magic, which makes it even more retarded.

>>381963857
You are criticizing the lack of design right? Because that Fae, the widow, actually is some sort of spider queen. The spiders obey her and she got their respect and loyalty by being good to them.

>>381965840
>got through all of Dalentarth

You're a better man than me.

>And because Mr. Schilling was determined to bring his best talent with him from Boston to Providence, 38 Studios had also assumed responsibility for the mortgages on dozens of its employees’ homes until they could be sold — the kind of incentive not usually offered by start-up companies.
