The studio got shit canned because it stole tax money from my home state, and didn't sell enough copies. Schilling basically gave Rhode Islanders the middle finger, I am glad his reputation is ruined and his studio went down in flames. But for the record I get why you assumed it was EA. Shame more people don't know the truth though.

I started playing a few weeks ago and somehow at the same time read an article about how they wouldn't have to repay the tax money used to fund them. I didn't connect the two until the third time I started the game and had to sit through the opening. I'm torn between, "This is a cool game, it's sad that they won't be able to make another.' and 'Damn that thing with the tax money is just fucked up."

To add to my previous statement, which was critical, the game is still worth as much time, if not more, than Skyrim. It provides pacing, like in Devil May Cry, and yet it has that massive open world, and a well thought out story, and premise. Objectively I prefer somethings to be different, but it's a solid game. If even I was entertained by it for a while: I guarantee a lot of you will play for months. It is huuuuuuuuuuuuuge!!!

I agree 100%. I played this when it first came out on xbox 360. I just recently bought the PC version. It is still fun to play. I disagree with Joe. I never expected it to have characters that look real. I thought the whole point was a fantasy story of the Fae living their tale from a "story book", and how the new races started to branch out on their own. The main character being the catalyst of this event. I thought it was brilliant that everyone looked like a character from a book, because they were characters from a story. This game and Skyrim are games that I can return to years after and still have fun.

If they had put the time and money into this series like Skyrim and TES, it could have possibly blown Skyrim/TES away. Terribly underrated game, 7/10 hardly does it justice for what it is. As others have pointed out, the combat is excellent and the story, despite perhaps a slightly flawed ending was actually very interesting. Of course I do agree with some of the criticisms leveled at the game, but they hardly seem relevant to the overall quality of the game when you're playing. Voice acting is excellent and the Dead Kel DLC lots of fun.
@EdoDave8 жыл бұрын
This is completely true. Though I don't know why they didn't put more time into the game, the reason they didn't put more money into the game was because 38 studios was a brand new company. This was their first game so their budget wasn't quite enough. Even still, they created something awesome and it's a shame to see it go to waste the way it did.

@mosesking29238 жыл бұрын
38 studios was working on two games at once: Kingdoms of Amalur and an MMO called Copernicus which was in the same universe as Amalur. Their attention and money was evenly split.

Mix and matching class skills was fun...though Melee my main choice in most RPGs seemed lacking compared to Finesse & Sorcery. Creating weapons and gear etc, fun awesome.

I think if 38 Studios didnt went under, those weak spots would have been patched or fixed. They were already doing DLCs before they went under so I assume they would have improved the game further. There was also rumours about the studio want to turn it into a multiplayer, which would have really made the game awesome. Alas, fate had a different outcome for them.

What people don't understand is RPGs are not about combat only (Keyword "only") People blur the lines between the action genre, and RPG genre, and cannot compare the differences often times. for example, Dark Souls compared to Skyrim is not a very good comparison. Does Dark Souls have "RPG" listed? yes (I think it does) but is it because it is an RPG? No, it has RPG ELEMENTS, but it's mostly action. VERY LITTLE RPG. Skyrim on the other hand, what do you think all those useless items are for? Because they are useful? NO, you are supposed to wear casual clothes in towns, pick up dishes to bring to your epic house, get a wife for RP purpose. Can you do that stuff in Dark Souls? No. Just wanted to throw this out there.
@tcrpgfan10 жыл бұрын
Then would that make D&D not an RPG because it focuses on exploring dungeons and combat and not having useless items? Kinda stupid reason if you ask me.
@GoodNight0wl10 жыл бұрын
tcrpgfan Different type of RP. In D&D you RP as an adventurer who goes down to fight monsters, gain glory. Skyrim just has more RP opportunities, and focuses on variety to be what you choose. But D&D is indeed not much of a RPG because it is also an MMO, where people don't give a crap about any RPG side of it. Most MMOs are like that. D&D is set for something very specific (and is not put to use) and Skyrim does not. On top of that, like I said just because "RPG" is listed in the genre, doesn't make it an RPG. It just has some elements. It's not just about useless items, you missed the point.

Exploration and assemble all the story pieces together. Thats a major part of Dark Souls too. The world pulls you into it, make you are part of it. and thats make a rpg a good rpg besides progression and a good Story. You think Skyrim is a good rpg game(sure, it IS a good game)? Play things like Fallout(1&2), Baldurs Gate, Vampire: Bloodlines, Planescape:Torment, Dragon age or Wasteland 2. And If you want to expierence real Roleplay play P&P-RPG. From the "stupid nerdy p&p crap" came all the computer-rpgs, which tried to transform this experience into a Video game. So what you don't unterstand is the difference between action-rpg and a rpg. Is Dark Souls, Skyrim or Kingdom of Amalur a rpg? No. they are action-rpgs and they focus more on action-combat then tactic and strategy. And personally I mock mass effect 3, Skyrim and any kind of such game by calling them adventures with RPGs-elements (I know It isn't truth, but while I was playing them, I didn't feel a good rpg-expierence (but a good game-expierence (if I ignore the ending of ME3

Skyrim = slash 1, slash 2, slash 3, slash while walking backwards, running power slash, and w/e Kingdoms = combos, combos, combos, + abilities additional combos, elemental effects, etc. Also, Kingdoms has a wayyyy better stealth system. In Skyrim you could like be right in front of some person and still not be seen... Also, the stealth kills look better, smooth and more realistic. Skyrim's killcams look so unnatural even with mods and there's too much clipping, etc. I seriously wish Kingdoms of Amalur can have mods as well tho :( It would look so much better than Skyrim tbh... Obviously, it won't look realistic with all the saturation and everything, but still... Imagine how it would be like if you could play a character that looks just like one of those really pretty heavily modded Skyrim characters you see on like freaken Google or some japanese/korean/chinese mod site... except the character animations (movements when attacking, etc.) is Kingdoms of Amalur version... I only don't like the camera for Kingdoms tho tbh, idk it just looks a LITTLE bit too low where you can see too much of the ground

Skyrim Skyrim Skyrim.... ugh you know what. The combat in Skyrim was horrible and boring. Yeah the story was good, the world was very interactive, characters where colorful and had personality to them, world was full of random events and hidden things. So yeah it was a good game but you can't ignore one aspect of the game when concluding your analysis of it. In my opinion The Witcher 2 Assassins of Kings (enhanced edition) was better than Skyrim in all regards from combat, story, choices and seeing their affects, lore, ending, characters and gameplay. In Dragon's Dogma immersion and combat was better than Skyrim's, featuring full customizable character then seeing your character in cutscenes. In Dragon's Dogma you could grab on to enemies and climb them, jump on to a Dragon to attack it and he'll fly off with you attached to him while you try and bring him down... and this is done with your actions not a quick time event or automatic kill camera. Every different enemy type in Dragon's Dogma required different tactics. The spells weren't just a flash on the screen or a bolt attack, in DD one of the ice spells summoned massive icicles that sprung up from the ground impaling your enemies. A lightning spell summoned a lightning bolt that you would hold as a whip to attack your enemies. And when I say you hold it, I mean it actually becomes your equipped weapon until you release the spell. Mystic Knights could summon a ball of energy, then you would attack the ball and each hit would launch a volley of projectiles. You could summon a meteor shower on your enemies. Weapon combat had special abilities like this too, that were not only devastating on your foes but visually exciting. I appreciate Skyrim, I wish more RPGs could be like it yeah. But it wasn't the best in my opinion, I wish more RPGs could be like The Witcher 2. The game was brutally realistic and was mature. It showed the true nature of evil, not being some boss at the end of the game but true evil lays within the very people that make up our civilization. I can't even begin to describe what your choices did in that game. No Mass Effect 3 ending here... everything you did had its own lengthy cutscene describing what became of your actions. Love interest weren't just a wife in a house they were there on your journey, with you or eventually against you. Just don't pursue a love interest if there are kids around watching you play, cause the game won't fade to black with sweet music playing in the background... it will show you everything. The RPG element was strong, for example if there was a tough enemy in your path and you didn't know how to bring it down you could go to a book seller in town, buy a book that will contains the enemies weakness. And yes you'd actually have to read it.

I loved the combat in skyrim it's the most realistic sword shield simulator I've ever seen

My main problem with it was the lack of variety. If you fought one enemy, you've seen what the combat will look like when fighting other enemies. There are some fights that require a slightly different strategy but when it comes down to it the combat will be the same whether you are fighting a person or a dragon. The only difference in combat is who you're fighting.

Agreed. The only fun i get out of Skyrim's combat is sneaking around with a bow shooting people in hopes of making them go stiff and fall over. Even then, it's mild amusing at best. If i actually tried to be series an fight things, every enemy is a pushover.

MrDustyMonk Yeah sneaking and stealth attacks are fun. I can't do the melee warrior build cause its just too repetitive. Magic is fun but I wanted a half magic half weapon build, considering the way the game is set up it shouldn't have worked but the enemies don't pose a big threat so it did. One spell I really like is the conjure a weapon but I can't tell if it does damage based off magic, or if its strength... so I'm not sure of it even though I love the way the weapon looks. It has some redeeming factors, but ultimately combat is not their strong point. And I'm not a mindless action gamer, I don't absolutely need combat. Dragon Age and KOTOR 1 were some of my favorite games and they had non-action combat but it fit well with the rest of the game. Most of, if not all, the aspects of Skyrim are epic... but then you look at combat and it doesn't fit the epicness of the game. And if combat is a major role in the game that dulls down my overall experience.

To be honest I enjoyed Reckoning more than Skyrim.the fact that u can kill ur way through to the end makes it kinda lame(skyrim)and compared to the story I think that Reckoning has(the idea around it) is waaay more unique than Skyrim.And I believe that Skyrim is a classic RPG,on the other hand Reckoning would be a revolutionary RPG if it had better sounds,quest variety and char designs,tho only the Fae and gnomes look the same but it may be so cuz they r a race with not many special features(?)

Characterization man... I get no attachment to any in Reckoning... thus make me stop my play time to only around 5-6 hours cause it get boring overtime... if it has characters as good as Dragon Age, it'll be a masterpiece

I enjoy playing KoA, but the lack in story left me not really caring about the world, then I change to Dragon Age Origins, having fun with the characters and Teamplay fighting... but the world aren't really enticing... nothing make me want to live there (yeah, even Kingdom of Orzammar)... Skyrim still stands as the one that amazed me since start with World full of wonders... if only other characters can be more progressed... I always feel like I'm alone even with 4 followers...

Thanks Joe. I friggin love this game. the combat is the best. I don't mind the repetitiveness, because I love kicking ass. Though I did just buy it on steam for $6, it is the best $6 game I have ever played. I'd pay $20, its really good. I agree with your critique, but i think it should have gotten an 8/10.
@asterixobelix2010 жыл бұрын
After playing it for a while (bought it with steam sale too) I must say i agree more or less with Joe, the combat system is VERY awesome, the faeblades and the chakrams are my favorites, the spells are awesome, and I even didn't unlock every one of them yet, the weapons and armors looks nice, gaining levels is fun, finishing enemies in fateshift is awesome, the crafting is pretty good, the whole thing with fate sounds good and interesting more or less, but the fact that you can't jump is really annoying (for me too), the graphics is nice but not very beautiful (although it has a good atmosphere sometimes), the quests are pretty average, but for me it's not really a big deal, the music is pretty forgettable, characters are really forgettable. And I still like it, and will not rest until I finish it (when I have the spare time).

Were you annoyed by the Field of View? I had headaches after playing it for a while, I also bought it on Steam. I found a solution with Widescreen fixer but haven't tested it yet, I figure this will be a perfect game for a summer week so I'm saving it. Any other methods for improving the really close FOV on the PC version?
