G4TV: If you are reading this, there is a fairly good chance that you are currently ensconced in a big, open-world RPG about dragons or somesuch. You’re probably enjoying it, too! Heck, it’s so huge and expansive, it’s all you’ll be playing for a couple months! But man, are you ever going to be sad when it’s over.
Do you remember the good old days, when video games put fast hack-and-slashing combat sequences and extensive levelling systems first and a deep narrative with memorable characters second? BigHuge Games certainly banked on gamers holding some kind of nostalgia for those titles of yore with their fantasy RPG Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning.
This is hilarious that i would see an article after I went and re-bought the game and playing it all week! I love the QTEs in this game its satisfying, the combat is fluid where you can switch from weapons to magic so easily, the weapons, armor, quests, character customizations, lore, world, voice acting, are all great this game has almost everything you'd need and want from an RPG!
I really wish there was going to be a KoAR 2!
COG writes - The games of the last generation were amazing and the COGconnected team decided to get together to countdown their favorites. The countdown inches to number 6 and the games are starting to get good... real good.
The journey comes to an end.
Would LOVE to see a sequel to this brilliant game. Wouldn't mind a remake for current gen systems either.
Last I heard this studio went out of business so I would think a remaster is pretty unlikely.
I think EA owns the rights to it now. I loved the game as well. A rare gem overlooked.
Went into a cave for a mission...Mission glitches and I can't start the mission or exit the cave...Auto save and manual saves are within the cave....I messed up so bad I quit. Really good game though.
such a great game, shame about the studio.
to produce something of that quality as their first title, just imagine what they could have done with more experience.
Since ea is not actually the developers and the videos I have seen looks like this game is like a dungeons and dragons mixed with a little bit of the dragon age origins......I am going to give this game a try......STILL think EA is a sub par company though
the world, combat, and character development in this game look very good. Definitely playing this game
I will say it has my interest, but I'm not all the way there yet.
I have been following this game for a while now, and I am truly excited for its release. Unique combo system, the ability to choose a class w/o being locked in at the beginning, a sandbox world and a rich leveling system. I feel this will aid the game in having a high replay value due to the fact you will choose to follow a certain skill tree and leave other skill trees only available to try on subsequent playthroughs. Yes! I think this game finally got right what I expect out a single player rpg.
