What It Is: Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

What is it?

WAPPY?

The art design isn't for me. Looks silly next to Dark Souls and Skryim. WoW-silly.

Diablo with a more active combat system? Sign me up.

Diablo/Fable/Skyrim/Divinity 2. That is what I take from this.

Will take the cartoon silly over Skyrim and Dark Souls' hideous humans.

This looks like a nice rpg. Definately going to buy this one.

Seems pretty generic to me. Doesn't help that it seems to lack a bit in the production value. Looks fun enough though, but it's gonna struggle if it has any form of decent competition. Was looking through some release dates recently and seem to remember February was gonna be more interesting than you'd think.

I like the Physicality that seems to be in the fighting. That's quite rare in RPG:s.

Man it's like Elder God of Diablo War or something, looks pretty fun.

This looks fairly impressive.

Good job Curt Schilling!

Really liken the look and style of this game.

This looks awesome.

meh

ehh not knowing how the MP of Uncharted 3 works after playing it and not being able to answer simple questions from Vinny is making me not really confident in Brad figuring shit out on his own...

Fascinating! Video games have been around for decades now; how come no one's ever thought to make a fantasy RPG before? Kudos on these guys for breaking out of the mold and trying something fresh!!

Looks like a medieval Too Human. A bit too button mashy for my tastes, but might be a blast to play co-op with multiple people.

I'm not feeling the art style though, just a little too generic.

Fantasy RPG with an action game-like fighting system... so it actually does do something new.

If it's got good co-op i'm probably in.

Though it does look a little generic.

I get that it's a little hard to recall stuff about a game you played a while ago just on the spot like this, but man this was rather poorly explained all told. Still enjoyable to watch though, can't wait for the game.

I like a lot about this game, but I really don't like the character design. I don't know what it is...they seem really generic and simple looking.

The game seems kinda interesting, but man this interface is uuuuugly.

It looks like an action adventure platformer UI from 2003. Big and blocky and not a whole lot of flash. Like it looks like The Hobbit's interface.

I think I might be burned out on fantasy RPGs, because this looks totally uninteresting to me. Add that genre to the list with military shooters, I guess.

@TurboMan: There are literally thousands of games in that exact genre.

Has anyone made the "God of Warcraft" joke yet?

Jokes on you there are no humans in Dark Souls! Just sad lonely souls..

Huh... I was under the impression that this game was an MMO....

@cikame: no co-op. A big bummer. This seems to be a game that would of benefited from actual co-op....as opposed to all the other games where they duck-tape one on. *im looking at you dead space 2*

THE COVERAGE FOR THIS GAME SO FAR HAS BEEN CONSPICUOUSLY RICH GALLUP-LESS.

SORRY CAPS

The game looks really nice with all the colors and everything. Still plan on buying this game.

Looks kind of cool! People might have had or will be having their fill of RPG-games with Skyrim when this comes out though?

x,x,x,y!

Goddam those menus are ugly.

Looks good, might buy it.

this game looks way better than skyrim

skyrim is an ugly world without any color, this looks colorful, fast and fun

For a 2012 release it looks too PS2-ish , the animations are alright the RPG elements seem a bit interesting but I dunno too bland overall.

Looks good. Hopefully the PC version will be playable.

I'm really excited about this, it looks like Fable done right. Hopefully it turns out good.

Ok, now I know what it is. But... what it do?

I didn't care one bit about this game until Brad said PEE SEE , now I fucking want to play this.

What it is? Sounds like a PG version of TotalBiscuits WTF is?

The last minute or so with all the stealth combat totally raised my interest. I may have to buy this when it comes out.

I think this will surprise me like Secret of Mana did all those years back. The perfect action RPG for its time (that ain't a Diablo clone).

This looks alright, but the fetch quest have me worried. Hope this isn't simply singleplayer WoW.

Looks like a super generic hack and slash.

Not for me.

This is right up my alley. A definitive purchase early next year, unless they do/announce something stupid in the weeks to come.

I am going to be severely disappointed if the text in the inventory and UI stays size 30 for the PC release

The UI is really lacking. Pretty interested in the rest, though.
