Electronic Arts will wake up happy this morning, as Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is the new UK number one.
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.
I can't decide whether coming in at 20th in its first week is good for Catherine or not. Either way, at least it is in the top 20!
That's surprising that a game which hasn't been advertised much [an unknown game] does so very well. I mean I know it's EA but there's been a few EA games which have bombed. I honestly thought this game would be one of those. Looks like I was proved wrong.
people love massive open world RPGs.
Its great gameplay and character customisation deserves recognition and it is the studio's first game which mean's the problem's the game has will be likely addressed in the sequel. Those problems mainly being the generic world and characters.
The game is so much fun, definitely deserves it.
I wish the RPG elements were a bit deeper, but it's a minor complaint.
