Skyrim and Saints Row The Third are both better looking and more engaging action experiences with RPG levelling mechanics. So no.

Are you buying, renting, or skipping Kingdoms of Amalur: Recoking? (Poll)

I don't know man, I think I'm gonna wait until reviews come out before deciding.
This kinda. Waiting to see what the Giant Bomb crew think of it. A lot of my gaming decisions are based on how the QL looks, and which of the crew are into it.
Also I played the demo and it didn't wow me as much as I hoped it would.
I am going to skip it for now. I would love to buy it right now but I already own way too many games that I am not even close to completing.
It really has nothing to do with the quality of the game. I played the demo and I enjoyed it enough.
Rent. I rent pretty much everything, then decide if I want to keep it or not(Gamefly). I don't think I will be keeping Amalur, though. Too close to the release of ME3 and Xenoblade, both of which I have pre-ordered and I don't want to buy a game 3 months in a row. Especially considering that I'm getting the more expensive collector's edition for Mass Effect 3.
Not sure yet, I must admit that it tickled my World of Warcraft fancy, when I saw the graphics in the trailers.
This is one of those times a quick look gave me the final push and convinced me that buying a game at full price would be something that I regret. So at this point I got (when it comes to my taste) "better" games to play, but I will most likely pick it up during a Steam sale some day.
RPG is my favourite genre but the demo wasn't very fun so I think I'll skip this game, or buy it when it gets a 66% sale on Steam
PC, Steam sale.
Other priorities, and games, that I have to/want to deal with before I buy this. Probably when it hits the $40 mark on a sale. I'm also wary until Jeff drops his review.
I'm pretty interested in checking it out but as always, my stack of unplayed games is currently too high for me to justify running out and buying anything.
After playing the demo and watching the quick look I think I'll pass, more interested in Mass Effect RPG-wise
I voted undecided before the QL went up. After watching the quicklook, I felt that it just does absolutely nothing for me. Back to Skyrim it is then (With that fancy new Creation Kit around the corner).
I dunno. There's parts of it that seem cool, but then I played the demo, and I just didn't like it at all. The combat didn't seem great, the story stuff didn't seem great.
No. I don't think I am. Not unless it's mad cheap or someone convinces me that the combat gets way better later on in the game.

Also, buying at launch, I think. Really want to get my teeth into a decent RPG and I'm just about to finish Arkham City. What a great game.
I dunno if ill buy it in the near future. I mean if I saw this pre skyrim, it would probably be a day 1 purchase. But now the game looks kinda meh to me, especially when compared to skyrim which I'm still not done with. So Ill probably just hold off.
I can wait a couple of months for this one and pick it up a third cheaper. I'll pay $30-$40 for this when it goes on sale. Nothing about it says "buy me right now", though.
I bought it already, can't wait to get home and play it.
Hilarious that Steam has Skyrim on sale today.
