gaming Played the Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning demo

[Discordian 6,015]

It started out good, a really good balance of RPG and action. Something akin to Dragon Age II, I dare say. (Going by only the DA2 demo, of course, since I haven't played the game itself)

 

Sometimes some framerate drops which aren't so bad.

 

Then the sound started screwing up to where there were no sounds when you swung your sword sometimes or when you hit stuff.

 

I didn't finish the demo but I got to the Well of Souls and then it started skipping dialog when I never really pressed anything so I had no idea what I was reacting to when I was making dialog choices so I stopped there.

 

Overall, as long as the actual game doesn't pull that bullshit it will be a pretty decent action RPG, methinks.

I just downloaded on Steam, I'll probably get around to playing it later today. I'm pretty skeptical about the game, it looks like just another RPG.

When you're an RPG lover like me, there is no such thing as "Just another RPG"

Fantasy Game: The Game

Framerate drops, shitty camera, low polygon models, terrible terrible story.

The whole game screams generic fantasy, but it has an entertaining combat system (much better on a pad than KB & M sadly) and a deep skill system.

Also if you are using ATI turn off post processing before you play.

Also at the start of the tutorial the opening scene just SCREAMED Planescape: Torment.

Heres a vid of the demo I recorded, uploading more later.
