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.
lol I believe there are plenty of other games that classify as "disappointing". If anything, Kingdoms of Amalur is a bit of an underdog.
ill have say he didn't play this game properly. I was able to swim in several bodies of water, plus they have loot in the water. Next sneak (finnese) skills in this game are not like Skyrim at all. Sneak really does require activation in the tree. Ive done a lot of close quarters stealth kills. and I'm still in the first 20hrs of the game.
I didn't read the artical because it says the most dissapointing game ever but gives it a 4/5???? just wants hits sounds like to me. Ok I went ahead and read the artical all I can say is it was the dictionarys term for the most dissapointing artical of all time.
I'm about 17 hours in and am not at all disappointed ,the combat in particular is good fun . I really enjoy the fact that i don't get "penalised" for making hybrid classes .
I'm about 15 or more hours in and I enjoy the game immensely.I plan to buy the strategy guide today for it so I can make the best potions and find all the items in the game. The combat is beast and the story is alright for a game that was basically MMO turned RPG. I pre-ordered the game from Gamestop and I have the fate touched weapons, Mass Effect N7 armor, 7 bonus House of Valor Quests, and the costumes for Might, Finesse, and Sorcery. This is the definition of sleeper hit not disappointment. I didn't read the article but I did not have to. IGN gave this game a 9/10. Game Informer a 8/10. I seen perfect scores as well. Most legit game review sites gave this game positive if not very well received scores.
