When I played it I remember it feeling a lot like a singleplayer MMO.

There's loads of content, but it's all very samey.

Combat was very nice, I played it start to finish because of it. Plot was OK, but not utilized very well; DLC locations were better. I kind of felt bad for not buying it at the time, but they had such gargantuan loans that it wouldn't have helped anyway.

>>15497216

Skyrim was better because it wasn't mmo grindfest and had strict designs and generally played/looked nicely and not like singleplayer WoW clone. Unlike like the game you mentioned being "better".

Also Skyrim has mods. Kingdoms of Amalur doesn't.

Its a singleplayer MMO, its not good.

Skyrim is garbage, but so is this.

>There's loads of content, but it's all very samey.

This.

I played it up until I was about to go into a large structure and supposedly fight the final boss, but by that point I was so bored with it I dropped it. It had become pretty monotonous.

honestly, this. skyrim was slightly more tolerable

underneath is still an RPG with solid mechanics even if they ruined the story, it can still be better

KoA will never be a New Vegas

>>15497216

Played the living shit out of it, but alas, it was pretty flawed on a lot of levels. Also, fucking bullshit that you can't dual-wield like a monstrous Gladiator like in the OP's pic, also no Sword and Board combat, fucking bullshit that the shields were just like in God of War where you just use it to deflect projectiles or block damage.

So what do you guys thing THQNordic are going to do with the IP?

Just a remaster or maybe a sequel?

>>15497347

A Remaster with a fucking FOV slider would do wanders to this game where the studio ran out of money before they could added it on consoles, PC users had third-party mods for it.

>>15497347

EA still holds publishing rights.

>>15497355

Oh really? That sucks well I guess I won't feel any guilt plundering it then. I started it years ago but never got past the third town.

>>15497355

They got the IP, but they can't touch and remaster Reckoning, but they managed to snag the MMO assets. https://archive.is/5VgSk

>>15497216

I swear if I get memed into playing this shit and it turns out to be exactly as mediocre as it looks, I will never shut up about it.

>>15497216

Skyrim has mods, and more varied content.

KoA has way better combat but that alone is not enough.

>>15497390

Get ready to complain.

>>15497390

I remember the combat being really fun from the demo, but other than that, I think it was an extremely generic RPG.

Is there a fix that brings the FoV beyond 30 and moves the camera from pointing at the player's feet without causing a fisheye effect because that retarded shit singlehandedly makes the game unplayable.

>>15497451

The combat was pretty flashy fun, but unfortunately the game is way too easy and samey for it to go anywhere.

>>15497451

Combat was fun, but then that's all it had going for it, didn't even matter so much about the RPG-Trinity of Fight-Thief-Mage, because it really didn't change much because the combat was God of War, there's no Bow/Archer build or a Spell-slinger, the Staff combat was fun, but it felt wrong to have a mage go on melee combat, and the difficulty was piss-easy.

>Why haven't you played it yet?

I didn, I had hope, and it slowly died.

>What did you not like about it if you did?

no team, what I liked about DA:O (I played right before KOA:R), and many other vidya RPGs is the team building, even poorly made team interaction makes the game more lively, of course you can get companions in KOA:R sometimes, but they don't stay

>What do you think could have been done better?

I just want to be the leader of a small team, maybe 3-4 adventurers, and I want social interaction between characters, like you know, in RPGs

>>15497216

Your OP a shit. The only half decent thing about it was gameplay everything else was generic as fuck and definitely not made for a singleplayer experience.

It's kind of sad the guy bankrupted himself funding that game out of passion and hope.

>>15497390

It is exactly as mediocre as it looks and OP is a tasteless faggot

its WOWshit

>Skyrim was better because it wasn't mmo grindfest and had strict designs and generally played/looked nicely

Nice try Todd, Amalur may have been mediocre but at least it wasn't Skyrim.

It was fun for a while and had some really nice features. I enjoyed the combat and the setting was nice but it had too many flaws to make it actually good. You can tell it was designed as an MMO and the crappy quests get really boring after a while, the level scaling system that locked levels when you first entere an area was also really dumb.

I still go back to play it every now and then but it's a very rough very flawed gem.

>start in forest area, fight enemies

>spend so much time there I get bored of fighting them

>go to desert, get some hope that maybe there will be new types of enemies

>hopes dashed

>go to next area, maybe there will be new enemies!

>hopes dashed

>make it across the sea, do the over the top boss fight

>new enemies?

>nope
