Its like saying: "I cant stand God of War's progression system, its so dull compared to Skyrim, im gonna go play a REAL RPG!!" you see how stupid that sounds? thats exactly what i just said. it's still an RPG. the game was advertised as having a combat system similar to aciton games though so I gave it a shot. and honestly it does play like an action game, just a really shallow one. | ||

Skyrim is better for the most parts, but the great thing about Reckoning is the Gameplay. The Spells/Attacks look much better and the combatsystem is way better. | ||

The controls felt bad, the menus were worse than Skyrim's were (didn't think that was possible until now) and as soon as i got to that town it felt like i was playing single player WoW, one of the worst feelings i could get from a video game in 2012. The fight with the troll, in spite of the controls / cameras was really fun and that alone showed me there's potential. It's too soon for me to really call though, so it's funny being underwhelmed so much by a game everyone else seems to love to death. It's like everyone else has a fully fixed version and i'm the only one who doesn't. I patiently await some lets plays or something. On the demo alone, i'm not buying this. If i see significant improvements, i probably will. Also poo poo at no prizes for NZ in that thing DayJ is doing. That almost never happens where Aussies are eligible but we're not  The demo was released by a 3rd party who apparently put more bugs in the game and the build is more than 3 months old since they have fixed the camera issues. | ||

it's UI/Menu system makes skyrim's look world class, the heavily praised combat system is just 'insert generic action console game combat system' and the animations are retarded. The sword is on my back I swing it, sword swings, I swing again it puts the sword back on my back swings.. wtf? I'm not sure how a game with so many awesome people behind it ended up being so awful but the gameplay in demo + EA bullshit makes this an easy skip. | ||

I am not saying that in the demo the UI was far better but I see no difference. | ||

Also, you can download and install it now, so that you are ready to play when it unlocks. | ||

At least in the demo I could properly click on the stuff in Skyrim sometimes clicking didnt work at all or you had to click anywhere but not directly at the item that you wanted. I am not saying that in the demo the UI was far better but I see no difference. The Skyrim UI is horrendous indeed but at least it looks like something created in 2011. KoA UI not only functions like a broken wheelchair but it looks even worse, it hurts my brain to pull up the menus, create the character etc., holy shit it looks bad. The Skyrim UI also worked easier in the sense you don't have hidden menus or forced to load up a new screen. KoA you go to Menu (which blacks the screen out taking you to a new screen which is antiquated to the max) then you go through these little menus on the top left side, primary, secondary, click click click, gross. skyrim UI leaves a lot to be desired but KoA apparently saw their gaffe and 'challenge accepted' to make something even worse. | ||

You tell that this game should not be spoken as it's equal to Skyrim and then you criticise combat system which is aeons ahead of Skyrim's. Take your fanboy glasses off. And no Skyrim dosnt have better UI/Menu system on PC. I still remember clustermess of trying to play dual wield character there. Both have bad inventory systems. | ||

He is saying that he is surprised OTHER people are putting Skyrim and Reckoning in the same level, when he doesn't agree, and not: "You tell that this game should not be spoken as it's equal to Skyrim". He is actually saying that Skyrim is NOT equal to Reckoning.

And as for the Skyrim debate, I enjoyed the demo more than I enjoyed any 45 minute stretch of playing Skyrim. Sure Skyrim has all the elements that an RPG needs to have and is super extensive with them, but the actual gameplay get's kind of stale... especially the repetitive combat. | ||

It doesn't have to beat Skyrim to be a good game, if it beats Skyrim it doesn't mean Skyrim sucks. | ||

It doesn't have to beat Skyrim to be a good game, if it beats Skyrim it doesn't mean Skyrim sucks. Yep imo they are far apart in even their focus. Skyrim is all sandboxy and exploration while this game focuses on combat and in depth storyline. They are really far apart for both being wrpgs. And wtf are people saying skyrim had a decent ui? It was by far the worst feature of the game and is about 10 years out of date of being a good ui, just because you highlight stuff and have 3d pictures does not make it good, while skyrim was an amazing game and my goty the ui was atrocious. | ||

It's just silly things that take way more clicks than necessary. No buff bar to see what buffs you have, when you hover over a new item it doesn't show what item you already have on to compare etc. Basically all the things Blizz did right in WoW should be stolen because they make things a lot simpler. I really don't want to pause my game and go through 3 menus every time I want to check if a 60 sec buff needs to be recast. | ||
