*** Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning ***

Just finished the demo and quite enjoyed it, a lot actually! :D Only thing that needs working is the UI, mainly the menu for selecting items, seems a bit rushed :) Fun game though.
 
Played slightly past the tutorial in the demo, quite liked it but the UI was terrible and graphically not that great. Doesn't seem like the demo saves progress? Annoying because I'd have liked to try out the open areas but CBA to do the tutorial again.
 
After playing the demo, it feels very like fable, only without the comedy.
The only thing I didn't like was the UI, other than that, it handled pretty well with M+KB for what is being called a console hack n slash.
 
Just played the demo too, closed it down when it said 20 minutes left (pretty sure I played more than 25 mins?).

As people mentioned very fable like and the game is enjoyable, however unless the demo is a old build then this game could do with a month or two on bug fixing. Either is it was down to drivers or whatever I was getting artifacts and other graphical glitches, I also felt like I was playing Zelda on the wii in terms of visuals and enemys popping in as you approach them.

The Camera feels awful, but that could be down to another console FoV game (sigh) and would feel a lot better with that fixed. That said if your a fan of rpgs it still worth checking out, lots of dialog and decent story and badass old Gnomes to boot but you will get the console port feel as essentially that what KoA is at the moment.
 
Yeah you play the tutorial which is like 20mins maybe then you get another 45 to explore, so its over an hour all together, seems like a good game though, id pick it up in a sale but not full price, mainly because camera and ui :(
 
Just gave this a go. Combat works really well, even on M+KB, and is a lot more satisfying than say, Skyrim's combat. The FOV is something that needs to change however, and I found the UI to be clunky in places. Will probably give it a buy.
 
I tried the demo and wanted to like it but after about ten minutes I just had to quit. It might seem like I've not given it enough time but the camera and FoV were awful...absolutely horrible.

I'll buy it only if tweaks can be applied in some form or it gets ridiculously good reviews (which I doubt).

This game remind a lot of the korean's mmo out there.

Will give the demo a try.
Click to expand...

Yeah looks almost Manga-esque in the way the combat works and with the armour design. Not sure it's my thing tbh, it's all a bit OTT.
 
Loved the demo. Loved the controls, not sure why people didnt like them. Its got a WoW and Runes of Magic feel and look to it. Could be the second full price game ill buy as soon as its out.
 
I've just got round to playing through the demo and liked it quite a lot. You can tell that there's been a great deal of effort put into this. When this comes up in a sale I'll more than likely purchase it.
 
Well I do like rpg's and I like the look of the trailers I don't play demos and dont care for the free stuff with it but i'll get the game dunno when i'll get time to play it thou trying to play ME1 -> ME 2 again before the 3rd comes out =]
 
It seems the studio had to rush the demo out, and therefore used a months old codebase. They apologise for it, but I found it quite well done anyway.

Pre-ordered. Loved the combat, reminded me much of The Witchers combat.
 
Not impressed one bit, blatant console port with generic bland fantasy 'lore' (not surprising considering they have Salvatore on the books).

If this is the marker for their MMO that’s in dev looks like its one to miss.
