Anyone else excited about this game 2/7/12.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is an upcoming single-player role-playing video game for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows.[2] Ken Rolston, the lead designer of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, acts as the game's executive designer. Additionally, noted fantasy author R.A. Salvatore created the game universe and lore, with Todd McFarlane, creator of Spawn, working on the artwork


quote:

38 Studios founder Curt Schilling said that the style of the game would be a marriage between God of War and Skyrim.[4]

This was my #2 game behind Skyrim. Looks to be a high-quality game.

The graphics aren't eye opening but not much will be after playing Skyrim. I love the fact that it was originally designed for MMO but converted.

It looks like Baldur's Gate. That's not a bad thing, IMO.

this game has been in the works forever. Curt Schilling was a big everquest player and ever since he's been working on this game trying to turn this game into an mmo. He's using this game as a launch into the series for lore etc.

Been following it since I first saw it announced. R.A. Salvatore was my favorite author growing up and probably still is.

7 minute trailer on fate and destiny

The game looks so much like a MMO I hope they re-tuned it right when they switched it to single player.

I haven't checked in a while, but last I heard they were going to make an mmo based off of the same world. this is just an introduction to get the world/lore out there.

Looks great, but there is one single thing thy bugs me... The shield block move. I don't like that you walk around with your weapon out and if you want to block then your shield just magically appears out of nowhere. Just seems silly to me.

Nevermind the fact that you can use magic and shite. His shield action isn't realistic enough for me.

Magic and shite is a fixture in all fantasy RPGs. Animated shield appearing out of nowhere is beyond cartoonish. Even Link carries his shield around.

I was just giving you a hard time. I agree (though I haven't actually seen what you are talking about it does sound silly).

20 minute Video of the game. Looks like Diablo game play, Skyrim toon building, with Mass Effect options in an open world (due to the design of a MMO.) The video show different play styles.

You can see a ton of Elder Scrolls in this game if you watch the video.
