Say something about this game, /v/.
>>341633710
Average as fuck. Average combat, average lore, average setting, average RPG elements.
I like it.
>>341633710
remastered edition when?
>>341633848
This. Wasn't bad. Just unremarkable.
>>341633710
It was fun while it lasted - unfortunately I got caught up in other games. I like how you can take a bit more control in your development. I ended up being a sort of spellsword. I couldn't decide if I wanted to stick with a 1h or 2h sword. Teleporting instead of combat rolling was nice.
I want to fuck Alyn.
I also liked the two big dlc.
Single-player MMO.
>>341633710
I liked it. Still play it from time to time.
>>341633710
something about this game
>>341633848
I prefer the adjective "solid" for this game.
>>341633710
Bought this on day one. Got serious buyer's remorse. I think I have about 2 hours logged on it.
>>341633710
i have it installed, going to dump some time into it eventually. if i don't like it 5 hours in, i'll just uninstall and never touch it again.
Why does this game keep getting brough it? If it's just because of the controversy surrounding it Too Human would be a much better candidate.
Feels like single player wow, in the best way possible.
God tier OST, not the type of soundtrack you could listen to on its own but it suited the world and the atmosphere perfectly.
I enjoyed it, its far from an amazing game but its fun and a good time sink.
>>341633969
>Get big names for your EPIC FANTASY GAEM

Combat was nice, though. Fucken chakrams the best
>>341633710

Kel> Teeth but I agree on Alyn.
>>341633710

Basically this. It actually had a lot of diversity level wise. You had a
>Forest
>Swamp
>Desert
>Weird Snow/Crystal area
>2 big cities
And there was some decent lore, alright combat, and what not. Yet it still managed to be so boring despite that. The DLCs were the exact same. Solid but not really amazing.
>>341633710
The most generic game I have ever played in my entire life, no exaggeration whatsoever
I've never seen an RPG play it so fucking safe before
>>341633710
I got all but two of the achievements in it.
>>341636643
>We will never find out what that secret group you and her were in was all about.
Only real thing I'd liked to see followed up on.

The boredom part can be attributed to the singleplayer MMO experience
It was okay.
>>341636851
The Council of Cocktease. Or the Blue Ball Brotherhood. Friendzone Federation, maybe?
>>341633710
Better than Dragon Age: Inquisition by a mile
Wasted potential 2bh.
>>341633710
I honestly loved it. Mainly because of the combat and rpg system. I like the idea of combining classes. Shame it was so short.

game was good. I always wonder if people who shitpost about it actually played it. Its no GOTY but it was a solid 8/10
>>341633710
good game shit quests.
>>341637279
>Shame it was so short
I got fucken bored and quit. Did you rush the main quest or something?
>>341633872
Never. The developer studio was canned within a year of its release. Hell the stand alone game still has game breaking bugs in it
>>341635607
>I prefer the adjective "solid" for this game.
It actually was more "vapid".
>>341633710
My roommate lent me this game before Isold my Xboxand now it's just sitting around collecting dust.
What did I miss?
>>341636752
I felt the same way. I put in about 20 hours or so and haven't touched it since
I bought it late last year for about $10. It's okay. It's definitely something you can fuck around in during a snowstorm or something.
>>341636372
Ironically, I think the game would've been better if you started out with simple slashes and unlocked combos as you leveled. Otherwise, it becomes a hack and slash game.
>>341637430
Eh, sort of. It's hard to estimate how many side quests I missed and how many I didn't.
It has an air of genericness about it but otherwise its pretty good.
What it lacks the most is marketeting
I found this game fun. I treated it like a singleplayer action rpg. It had great atmophere and environments. the combat could have been better and more varied but the game did let you play around. It was like fable meets diablo but I liked the world they created
it was fun. every game with third person combat needs timed parries. not bamham shit, but parries the way this game and darksiders to it.
>>341637430
I was doing sidequests for a long time and then I just got so bored I slammed through the main quest as soon as I possibly could.
>>341633710
'Singleplayer MMO'.
I liked the combat system though.
>>341633710
The single most forgettable gaming experience of my entire life.

The game that all but bankrupted a state and had a corruption story you would only think existed in a tv show, its truly a one of a kind game.
The story behind the game was more interesting than the game itself
It was sold millions but still bankrupted the studio that made it
>>341638117
I remember the AI getting rekt fairly easy by the traps in this game.
>>341638117
>kingdom of traps
sounds like /v/'s ideal game
>>341633710
Completely average game. Beat it once and uninstalled. Will likely never play it again.
Very adequate.
>>341637310
>game was good, solid 8/10
You sum up the venerability of its components yet don´t seem to account for the fact that each game is more than the sum of its parts, no matter how choice they are.
It simply does not click for most people, and at no point does it become remarkable on its own in any respect.
It has really no distiguishing features other than it is thouroughly not bad from start to finish, but nothing more than that.
Single player MMO: the Video Game.
Combat was actually good. The enemy variety was also okay. But what you do to complete those line of quests are so boring and this includes the main story line. Don't get me started about the faction quests it was Skyrim tier in a way that the guild leader has just gone belly up and left it all to you, a complete stranger. I also haven't experienced a world to explore so interesting and barren at the same time. There was no interaction to any of it just eye candy.
They also butchered the final boss which is not only interesting it also had the potential of being good if only she was as threatening as she looks.
>>341634496
>>341637895
>>341638741
Every single player game is a single player MMO. LITERALLY.
>>341633710
I enjoyed it for a little while, but it was much to easy
It wasent bad, but it was about as tick the boxes "insert fantasy here" as you can get
>>341638991
Did you play Amalur?
Incredible fun and good combat
Rest was the pinnacle of mediocrity
Never finished it because the story was too weak and there were too many fetch quests and fillers.
>>341639991
It's like 70% filler
a one of a kind experience that allowed me to give money to rhode island
>>341640139
Yeah. The premise and setting was fucking great, but the bigass world is fucking void and the quests really tedious.
>>341637310
nice try Curt Shilling
Feels like an offline mmorpg. Everything in the world is big as fuck, so the game looks bigger as it is. Mediocre story. 6,5/10
>>341633710
The combat was fun as hell and the leveling ideas with the different classes were pretty awesome. If it had been more challenging the combat would have been worth the grinding bullshit.
I got a fast travel glitch during the late game with some poison water quest and didn't finish it.
>>341633710
I love it.
I really do. I can't hate it or dislike it. I just fucking can't.
>tfw you will never live in Dalentarth
>>341633710
Like skyrim with shit graphics but better combat.
>>341641585
The only thing with worse combat than a TES title is probably Gothic/Risen
>>341641471
I'd rather live closer to Rathir, where all the tasty Dokkalfar are.
>>341641674
You forgot The Witcher. All of them.
>>341641747
>tasty Dokkalfar
My fellow Nigerian Hominid!
>>341641837
>>341638991
No. This time it's LITERALLY a single player MMO. The game was made to be a fucking MMO you fucktard.
>>341633848
Some of the Combat is fairly fun with the unique weapons like the faeblades and the chacrams and magic can be pretty cool too
>>341641960
It's too bad you never realise how pretty the game is when you play it because of retarded camera angle.
>>341642112
Just say it's a single player WoW clone. There are tons of MMOs that play nothing like Amalur.
>>341635674
its honestly a solid buy. i got it for 11 bucks on steam with all of the DLC and put in 60+ hours. very worth
>>341641674
Gothic had amazing combat for rpg for it's time. You just probably booted it up recently and couldn't get into it. Though it's still hold ups decently, especially when you compare it to bethesda snoozefest.
>>341642217
>because of retarded camera angle.
Just stop for a moment and actually look around.
Painfully average. At least you could make some cute player characters.
>>341642451
I tried G3 some years ago and have Risen currently installed which i kinda dropped to play Witcher
It just got so fucking boring, I couldn't bring myself to get even halfway through. Literally couldn't give a flying fuck about anything that happened in it.
>>341633710
it's boring
Fun but gets extremely repetitive after a while. You're practically invincible after the first 3rd of the game (assuming you did everything, anyway). If you like feeling like a fucking juggernaut, i'd recommend it.
>>341641674
>Gothic has worse combat than TES
Are you literally retarded?
It was a good game. The world was beautiful, the soundtrack was good, and the combat system was great.
The only thing wrong with this game are the quests. They're all identical. I was playing it a a year ago and finished all the faction quests and the main questline. Then I decided to do the side quests and after doing 50 of them I got so fucking sick of the game that I quit playing it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxBmbarzGKY
Comfiest track ever.
>>341633710
Had so much potential, it really could've been incredible but the story was trash tier and they couldn't make you care one bit about anything or anyone in the game.
Got so dull I literally stopped playing right before the final boss and never wanted to go back
>>341633710
“Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these, 'It might have been.”
>>341638204
>and had a corruption story you would only think existed in a tv show
Main questline or one of the faction questlines?
>>341641227
Same. After like 60 hours. Was so fucking pissed
>>341643025
I hate this trakc becuse it reming me of worst part of the game
Final boss was impressively large.
The combat was fun as heck and the levelling system was nifty. Roleplaying was passable. It was too long, but I did sit through and play just about everything in the game so that might have just been me getting b
The idea of killing fate with the fate ripped out of fate is funny.
The high fantasy aesthetic was really refreshing in the washed out, "muh realism" saturating 2012.
Had it been a little more concise, with a little more polish and depth to the non-combat gameplay, I would have loved it. As it is, I just recall it fondly.
>>341643540

>>341633710
That dark elf you met was qt, but other than that the game was pretty boring.
>>341633710
They should've done an addon to Rise of Legends instead.
>>341633710
Played it for exactly 100 hours finishing main game both dlacs and all the big sidequests that gave you these tarot cards.
Has some really fun parts as well as parts that are fucking chore.
I just don't know what else to say that most people don't know
>>341633710
I played the demo.
Wasn't there some kind of upgrading/crafting system in this game? I remember you would do something like get a certain quality blade and combine it with a certain quality hilt, and it would take ages if you wanted to completely max your equipment out with the highest stats possible. I mean you're overpowered anyway but I remember watching some autist on YouTube trying to max it out.
I think you had to grind for ages getting random drops and the salvaging the weapons/armour for individual parts.
>>341633710
>Say something about this game, /v/.
>>341633710
I played the demo, the camera was shit, and you can't jump. This last one was enough for me to uninstall even before my time with the demo was up.
>>341643791
>Rise of Legends
Sequel never, since Microshit owns it
>>341643865
The was but it was so unnecessary (just like everything else that's not main quests or twist of fate cards) at the same time that I never bothered to use it even once during my entire first playthrough
>>341633710
I found it claustrophobic because you can't look to the sky.
Which class is the most fun?
>>341644145
This game should have been isometric, shit was way too awkward as a 3D game.
>>341644318
I found mage/rogue to be fun
>Chakrams count as mage weapon and bladed weapon
>Buff the shit out of it with rogue tree
>Poison blink some niggers
>>341633710
+ good hybrid classes
+ fast combat
+ colorful, well designed world
+ somewhat interesting quests and sidequests
+ okayish graphics
+(-) diablo loot
+ voice acting
- too easy
- combat is improvable
- no mounts
- generic
- broken balance
>>341644318
If you want to know about pure classes:
Thief is fucked because no damage no nothing after few levels
Mage is just get explosion maxed and span that shit all day even on hardest difficulty and oneshot everythign like it's easiest mode
Warrior starts getting fun after some levels whare you have all the skills unlocked for mad combos
Did any of you check out the Arena in the game? I went there as soon as possible and found it pretty fun. Because it was still early-game where you're not overpowered I remember having to play cautiously and dodge attacks in an almost souls-like manner.
>>341642112
I'm so fucking sick of idiots like this spreading misinformation. No, KoA was never an MMO nor was it intended to be. It was a prequel to a planned MMO.
Was all the loot random in this? I never once got a full set of unique armor.

Blademaster. Stealth criticals with a greatsword are great, as are all the combos you can do with the combined skills.

There are some uniques, but there are no armor sets except for the ones that come with the DLCs.

>>341645982

>>341645908
You are wrong. There are plenty of sets. You get them as random drops (lol good luck with that) and from quests.
>>341633710
Amazing story.
Not the story in the game but about it
all i remember is being 2 nanometres behind the character with a whopping 4 nanometres being the max zoom out
>>341645459
http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/114151-kingdoms-of-amalur-reckoning-mmo-rpg
And here's a trailer for the mmo that never released.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZrdq6gnaMs
The entire point of Reckoning's story was to set up the MMO, by having the player break the chain of Fate and allow people to do whatever the fuck they want instead of having predetermined lives, hence the mmo aspect.
I feel kind of bad for the creator

He does say a lot of dumb shit on social media but the guy just wanted to make some good ol vidya
Didn't your shield pop in and out of existence in this game? That kinda bugged me.
>>341646343
The zoom gets further away the more enemies there are
>>341633710
Singleplayer WoW with a ridiculously low difficulty level.
>>341633710
It's a literal themepark MMO but for singleplayer. That's all there is to say about it.
It's fun though. Especially if you like to mix and match skills whenever you like.
>>341646394
His greatest fault was wanting to make mmo
If he just went with singleplayer rpgs each in diffent era it would have been amazing.
And if you don't know what i'm talking about they writer for the game made like 10000 years of general world history for them that spanned across like 6 or 8 eras and you played in 5th or something like this
>>341633710
>have a game with lots of interesting lore
>give it the blandest, most generic storyline ever
>>341646459
same as the weapons if you alternated, but at least the last one used was left visible.
>>341646909
And literally 2 npcs where one appears at random times and you never get to know here and other ones developmend ends on like 4th main quest after which he just becomes your waypoint to next city
>>341637279
>Shame it was so short.
This game is like 100 years long
>>341647245
He probably ignored filler quests which is the right thing to do.
Buggy piece of shit.
I got suck in a door or fell through the floor in pretty much every single dungeon.
huge, empty world with ugly, plain as fuck textures and nothing to do
except running
its terrible, legit one of the worst games I ever played.
sometimes I see people saying 'its not that bad', or calling games like DAI an offline MMO.
let me tell you, DAI is a fucking masterpiece in comparison, play KoA and you'll understand the true meaning of offline MMO
I'm playing through it right now, I actually like it a lot. It kinda reminds me of Darksiders; it doesn't do anything particularly new or innovative that I haven't seen before, but it borrows elements from lots of other successful games in the genre and combines them into a very satisfying package.
>>341647529
Never once seen or even heard of this bug
>>341633710
Shallow and mediocre in just about every category. The most remarkable thing about it is the way the company crashed and burned, bankrupting a US state in the process.
I hate it. It's the only game on my shelf I haven't finished. It wouldn't still be on my shelf but the game store refused to take it back.
FUCK
I never finished it, but I am downloading it because I want to replay it.
>>341647601
Really? Because it happened a fucking lot.
Maybe it was just the PC version, I never played the console version.
>>341633848
Good areas but a shitty camera.
Good combat but not enough enemy variety or rhythm.
Story was the least remarkable thing I could imagine...
>>341647610
>bankrupting a US state in the process.
Wait, that really happened? I thought it was a joke.
Also, I always found this scene extremely typical for the whole game.
>You've got unlimited freedom, your destiny is your own!
>But you have to do exactly as I say to fulfill your destiny!
>get bored and want to try some action rpg shit
>download Kingdoms of Amalur
>have fun for a few hours
>turn the game off
>remember that most of the game is basically just mmo fetchquests
>don't turn the game on again
>uninstall after some time
The cycle repeats way too often. I never managed to finish this game.
>>341647910
Yeah, the whole "immunity to fate" thing was just bullshit.
>>341647749
I voult ever think about console version.
Only bug i have ever encountered in this game is enemies not spawning or rather the "killrooms" not proccing that could be fixed with quicksave and reload
>>341647852
It's a bit of an exaggeration, but the game cost Rhode Island something like $50 million when they couldn't pay back their loans.
>>341648336
Maybe it got patched or something, I only played it at launch. Or maybe you're just luckier than me. But one of the things I remember most about playing it is that I almost constantly needed to reload my game because I'd always end up underneath the map or stuck on something.
>>341647601
You can get stuck in the floor from some sneak attacks if the animation repositions both you and the enemy through the floor. But that only happened to me once.
>>341633710
the lip synch was the worst I've ever seen in any vidya ever
combat was interesting enough
the story might as well of been nonexistent
>>341647910
Wasn't the fate that the world gets destroyed if the prismere shit doesn't get stopped though?
I liked how doestroying fate put the grey elves into dark ages mode shit, split the world in two and then caused them to become mordor 2.0 few hundred yers later.
Especially since I played as one forst time around
Any other fun games like that, with mostly just gameplay and optional open world?
Already played Darksiders 1&2, had a lot of fun with both.
>>341649059Skyrim.
I think you'll enjoy Dragon's Dogma as well.
>>341649407
Already played both, DD was fun too.
It had the basics for everything but it didn't do anything spectacularly right.
The world was beautiful but the dungeons were all the same.
Combat was fun but missed something I can't pzt my finger on.
Magic made you feel incredible but the lack of spells was shit.
Stealth was functioning but easily exploitable.
The lore and story was meh.
Quests were boring.
Lorestones actually made me give a shit about collectibles.
The fateless gimmick was well done in character progression but barely integrated into the main story.
And all the budget went to the last boss to make him look great but play like shit.
>>341633710
i like it. i want to go through it on pc but muh laptop. i have it for ps3 and i thought it was cool that there were chakrams
>>341633710
It bankrupted Rhode Island.
>>341633710
fun for a while, gets stale fast, have had 0 interest in picking it back up since i gave up on it
The only thing memorable about this game for me is the ending to the House Of Sorrows questline. Such a strong twist. I remember the dialogue with this guy in particular.
>>341633710
I played it for about 30 hours when it first came out, got exponentially more bored with it over time and dropped it around the time I finished the desert area.
Tried to play it again recently and it ctd'd before I got out of the tutorial area. Didn't care after that.
>>341649580
>Combat was fun but missed something I can't pzt my finger on.
May be just me but I feel like main problem was not enough skills/apells as well as everything having quite a delay that was really anoying unlike in games like .Hack

It's also the only game I know along with Dragon's Dogma that get battlemages right
I wanna hit shit hard and then hit it again with magic and teleport around and shit, make gameplay fun man
>>341649975
Generally I think that everything about the story/setting involving fate was interesting, how it was easily read and 100% accurate in all cases except as it applied to you. Whenever the story is revolving around that it was fun, like how the elves couldn't do anything except cosplay the past and how you occasionally ran across people who were objectively certain that their house was going to burn down until you walked through it and mucked everything up. If the story and all the quests had stuck around exploring that idea it could have been really interesting, but the game was so preoccupied with being the Next Big Thing that all the interesting bits were mixed in with the standard fantasty fuckabout.
What if Oblivion had no heart or soul and took no risks

>mfw i never got closure with Alyn
>>341633710
I liked it, but for an open-world Skyrim-esque game it somehow felt empty.
I liked the combat though, and appreciated how colorful it was.
I can't believe they didn't see the problem at concept stage
>we'll create a really really long rpg
>but have action combat that can be mastered in seconds
>>341656642
its not the action but they decided to level lock areas to level where you first visited them so there was really no challenge.
