This is really mind-boggling me, did I miss something ? Since the game gave me pieces of equipment with critical damage, I wanted to see what was my crit%, but I could not find it anywhere. Am I wrong, or did the developers just forget to put a basic RPG element in this game? | ||

I would not pay a dime over $30 for it, however. I presume the $60 pricetag has to do specifically with EA's bullshit. The demo was supposedly unfinished, as the devs were supposedly forced by EA to release the demo before it was ready. I dunno. However, everything this game does is painfully average. It does nothing bad, but it doesn't try to do anything necessarily good either. I may pick it up during the next Steam Sale if it goes off super cheap. | ||

This boggles my mind, when "random" company makes "mediocre" game it is viewed very often in a negative way rather than good. It's okay but that's it. Hell, DA:O was as cliche fantasy game as any but it did it's job okay. Now you add in the overly positive reviews 'cause EA published it and wait some time(especially now that the sequel was simply very bad) the game somehow has become very good? I've played DA:O only once to this day and it's an okay RPG, genre I very much like so I played it turning over every rock and went through all dialogue options. Things are subjective sure but I don't remember anyone flagging for DA:O to be masterpiece at it's release Then we have KoA:R which has pretty good names working on it, but the company ain't known for most. Sure the dialogue and story doesn't seem to be that captivating in the demo but hell I've played many with much worse. Combat system which they seem to have focused was to my liking. I got sick of Skyrim after 50 hours and went on to finish main quests. Music, which for me at least is very big thing in RPGs, seems to be pretty nice and I've never really cared about graphics that much. Reading here and around other sites the consensus seems to be this game is average, if not slightly worse. Buying new games from steam seems pretty expensive, right now this game is 36,90€ from where I often get games and what I've seen from the demo this should be pretty good bang for my buck. I know things are subjective and 60€ is something I wouldn't pay either but with that tag even if the game is only 'average' I should be happy. | ||

The trick with every game is the conceit that what you are doing is cool. You embrace all the poorly done bullshit because the game is actually fun and because it is fun it is a good place to be in. Amalur is no different, you just have to get past the MMO engine. | ||

It would just freeze and spam menu overlays until I closed it out. I found out later the demo won't run with post processing enabled or AA turned up very high. Why have those options if the game can't run them? I uninstalled in frustration before I learned about how you have to 'fix' their demo to play it. Anyway, that encounter made the game irrelevent to me. A DEMONSTRATION not working as the final release? BY GOD! | ||

Are you saying releasing a demo that crashes and locks up your computer is a good way to market your game? A demo is supposed to show off their game, entice you to buy it.. if all it does is locks your computer and crashes because you enable post processing (an option they allow you to enable) you aren't exactly going to be thrilled or confident in the release. The fuck is your point? | ||

My point stands: It's a demo, live with it. | ||

I look at Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning Demo. I was a fan of fable but I did not like a lot of things about it. Im really hoping this game comes through for me as I have craved a good rpg as of late. This game had no issues installing/launching as many have stated but there were a few graphical issues I needed to sort out. Once I got that figured out the game overall ran flawlessly, and maintained framerates over 100 even while recording so A+ there. Anywho enjoy the vid. COMPUTER SPECS *Windows 7 - 64 Bit *Tower: Cooler Master 690 *Processor: Intel Core i5-2500 3.3ghz OC'ed to 4.5ghz *Ram: 8GB 1600mhz g.skill ripjaws *Graphics Card: Ati 6850 x2 crossfire Oc'ed to 930/1150 *Mother Board: Asus P8P67 *Power Supply: Antec current gamer 620watt *Storage: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 7200 RPM | ||

My point stands: It's a demo, live with it. Obviously? I had to go research the issue on forums unrelated to the game developers to find out what the issue was. I don't think you understand the difference between a beta (which has acceptable flaws) and a demo. A demo is a purposefully released segment of the game for the developer to show off, THIS IS OUR GAME, PLAY IT, SEE HOW GREAT IT IS. They hope the demo is good enough to make you BUY the game when it comes out. Why are you even arguing with me? I didn't say the game will be bad. I said I stopped caring about the game because the demo was a broken mess. I played a broken demo and my interest went down, isn't that completely fucking reasonable?Releasing a demo with settings that will break the game is not GOOD, I don't care how you want to look at the value of a demo is a STUPID thing for a developer to do. How can you even begin to argue otherwise? Jesus Christ wtf is with people like you. | ||
