Master Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning's Three Schools of Combat

can't wait

@Erebus: Lol, no I knew who he was talking about, I just thought he was correcting me. THAT is why I was confused, haha.

@Masha2932: That is Claudia Black. She is all kinds of awesome.

Also known as Chloe Frazier and Morri'gann?? I dunno how to spell, lol. The witch from Dragon Age. And yes, all other kinds of awesome...

You mean Aeryn Sun.

...heh?? What do YOU mean??

/facepalm

Aeryn Sun <3

Yeah that looks sweet. I enjoyed the first Fable, and bought II & III, but was disappointed with them. I've been waiting for a game like this. I'm gonna get this day one. :)

I <3 Claudia. That is all.

Reckonings!

Looks really good, I hope it comes together well.

I'm buying this because of Rich.

That game's pretty cool. But not as cool as ToeJam & Earl.

I'm disappointed staffs weren't called "staves."

Darksiders + fable..... I am definitely interested

Instead of 6 party members to manage, we know have 2 humans and a grip of monsters.

Of all the things I could think to improve from the last game, this was not one of them.

Sorry, Squenix. Pass.

If I ever finish Skyrim and play the rest of these games from this fall I might get this afterwords.

I cannot express to you how much I love seeing Giant Bomb's video player pop up.  I've gotten so sick of waiting forever for those shitty Youtube videos to load.

Looks like a lighter version of Guild Wars you can enjoy on consoles.

Is that Claudia Black doing the voice over? Tell me thats Claudia Black thats doing the voice over. If it is Claudia Black doing the voice over I will buy two copies of this game, from Origin.

Can't wait, it looks soooo good! Just my cup of tea! :D

Looking like something I'd be into.

I have no idea why it's taken action-RPGs this long to actually even attempt God of War- or Devil May Cry-quality combat, but it's about damn time. I'm gonna make enemies here, but the combat in games like Skyrim is pure garbage. I don't care how deep the system is when they can't nail the basics, like responsive animations (including good hit stuns on enemies), melee with oomph (versus just playing a flailing animation when you hit the buttons), and nailing that feeling of actually connecting with anything. Something that good action games have been nailing for years.

This is a must play. I can't wait! Haven't been this excited for an RPG in a long time...

I wish they'd make a Star Wars RPG like this.

Looking forward to it, though I hate it when combat purposefully "stutters" the otherwise extremely smooth 60fps.

Yep, I feel the same way. It looks great, but the "stuttering" when attacking is something that could ruin the game for me. And I hope it won't feel as bad as it looks.

Am I crazy? Because I barely even notice the slight stuttering unless I purposely look out for it. I doubt it will affect the combat enough to make it truly irritating.

It's just something I've noticed in a few actiony title releases. God of War and Fable are the two that I can think of at the moment that do it, and I've never really figured out why. Batman: Arkham Asylum (would assume Arkham City as well, though I haven't played it yet) had it go to a nice, smooth slow-mo animation with each combo multiplyer hit, and didn't have the weird stutter that this game has. Darksiders did a great job with the combat also. It's not going to turn me off the game at all, just something I noticed.

This game stokes me more each time I see it!

Looks like a lot of fun. I'm always up for checking out an easy to learn, hard to master combat system that's based on timing and mix'n'match skillsets.

Faeblades.
 
Uggghhhhhhhh

wow this game looks great.

Looks a little generic, and bland to me honestly.

Thousand Needles is that you in the first 40 seconds?

@White said:

3! + 1 is only 7 permutations dood.

/nerd

Only true for whole numbers. Considering that the progression in the trees can be of various levels this gives many more potential possibilities. Since it's can be not just fighter + mage in equal measure, but say 2/3rds fighter and 1/3rds mage or the reverse a mage with a dash of fighter.

/vg nerd

:P

Yeah, but there's still only 7 destiny cards. Your 2/3rd fighter 1/3 mage is still gonna be a Battlemage nonetheless.

From what was shown so far there are far more then 7 destiny cards that allow for different skill breakdowns and also destiny cards that are independent of skills.

No dude one of the trailers clearly shows 7 destiny card BRANCHES. There's obviously more than 7 destiny cards in total, but alot of them are just better, faster and stronger versions of Battlemages.

Hmm, you are correct I assumed those were for different permutations not just upgrades. There are some extra gameplay ones like I mentioned but class wise there are only 7 paths. That's kind of underwhelming.

Well now I'm bummed out :(

Claudia Black, nuff said.

Three schools of combat? So it's the holy trinity of rock, paper, scissors again? Kind of boring.

Maybe you should actually watch the trailer :) Also the Holy Trinity resembles Tank, Healer, DPS. This game does not have that, at all.

Yep, this game still looks awesome. Can't wait to play it!

Warrior look like the boring way to play :P

As a fan of tekken those juggles look like fun.

Can't say I'm very hyped for this game...

Is that claudia black voice I hear narrating?

Why do so many of these games feel so generic from their looks...

@sungahymn said:

Hmmmm.

I never thought it of that way.

@Allison said:

Divinity 2 did this too, except it played a lot more fun.

This just looks like Dragon Age the Action Game. :(

Divinity 2, fun. lol

Given a Level cap of n levels, with a hypothetical one point to invest per level, very small but still..

You have potentially 3^(n-1) combinations, assuming no skill point at level one.

Say there are 50 levels, that's 239299329230617529590083 possible combinations.

Claudia Black = I want to play this game now

@Allison: I thought Dragon Age 2 took that title. :o

Divinity 2 did this too, except it played a lot more fun.

This just looks like Dragon Age the Action Game. :(

I think this looks pretty damn cool. Can't wait.
