Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning - remaster from THQ Nordic with Fatesworn expansion

[oldmanpaco]

Played it for 6-8 hours or so. The only thing I remember is some goth elf assassin in bikini armor.

I respect a game that doesn't require me to mod in bikini armor.

That armour is only on one single NPC in the entire game.

Game sucks who wants this shit anyway curt schilling faked the bloody sock

The biggest thing you have to do to enjoy this game is limit yourself, no crafting and sometimes I would use weaker weapons on purpose so there would be some challenge.

And then you realize the challenge was in you all along.

Spoiler

It was a mental one.

Some people like to feel powerful over enemies and feel progression

That only works when it's earned and should never let you afford being careless.

Thanks for reminding me how my level 89 full Tal wearing Sorc ripped many years when I was casually teleporting through Hell act 2 to suddenly wind up dead, I played HC only back then, only to see a zombie with extra strong and might aura appearing from behind a small piece of a crumbling wall. Probably one of the most avoidable deaths I ever had if I had just been too careless.

So, with this level scaling mods, is it one of those "it will get worse before it gets better" things?

Spoiler

Except it's "instead", not "before".

Mods cannot fix the horrible content.

Looking at the Steam screenshots, it looks exactly the same... and goddamn that art style is still 100% "MMO from a decade ago".

 

[luj1]

Felipe go play Sailor Moon you faggot

 

[Outmind]

I remember all the hype before it first came out. Everyone was like "Ooooh, it's written by R.A. Salvatore, it has to be good!". Please, the guy can write a decent fight scene, but everything else that comes out of his pen is pure pulp. Enjoyable, but pulp nevertheless.

The game itself got really boring really fast.

 

[Tavar]

It seems that there's still no information about what exactly "refined gameplay" means. 4K support is great, but the game needs to be rebalanced to be worth a buy. I've read on a German website that the standard edition is priced at 40€ and that a bundle with the new addon is priced at 55€. From my point of view that's way too much without significant balance improvements. Another addon is pointless if the game is still super easy in this enhanced version. What's the point of adding more side quests if you don't need them?

 

[fantadomat]

I am surprised,the game still looks great and the writing is pretty good. I do hope that they fix the MMO style of enemy respawns and levels. IF you cut out that aspect the game is pretty good,shame that it got that much hate.

TBH I no longer have any use for avatars or nicknames. I can tell individual retards apart just fine by the inane drivel they post.

Oh my beloved drag,who pissed in your soup this morning,and made you that pissy? If you hate the game that much....what are you doing being butthurt in this thread?

 

[vortex]

Draq is disappointed remaster doesn't have TB combat.

 

[fantadomat]

Draq is disappointed remaster doesn't have TB combat.

Yeah,he can't handle anything that has more than one frame per action,far too fast for the old goy. He is still butthurt over not being able to play BG1&2 because they were not TB.

What is the price for such kind of power?

Can't under what you have seen, that's the price to be paid. It ain't worth it. Leave while you still can.

 

[felipepepe]

the writing is pretty good

WHERE? It just throws endless walls of lore with weird names and doesn't even fit the game... I still remember the game going "You must now find the Theater of Fate, a legendary long-lost place that might not even exists... I'll mark it on your map, it's just 5 min from here!"

The fuck has map markers have to do with writing??? Go play sailor moon faggot!

[fantadomat]

The better part of the writing was not found in the random background lore, but in the local stories. Each area has a small and mostly self-contained questline, where all villages and settlements have their own story, dark secret or otherwise local drama. These were actually pretty good and have a good slice-of-the-world feeling, certainly more interesting that bothering with "X happened, then Y" lore.

You wasting your words mate,people bitching about the lore have clearly not bothered playing the game. The same kind of people that just bline the main quest and brag about how they had finished the game. Can't stand such retards.

You can judge a man by the hill he chooses to die on

Some men choose negative AC

Some men choose contiguous wilderness maps

Some men choose the colour of somebody's hair on Twitter

But Fanta the lad, now, he doth choose a mediocre Oblivion clone that nobody remembers

Oh i won't die on that hill lol......i will fucking carnage you on that hill,you degenerate fucks!

Hope the new DLC is as good as the old ones, they were really good.

That is extremely unfair, shame on you!

This is much more of a mediocre Fable clone that nobody remembers.

 

[a Goat]

So will they rebalance the game or nothing is confirmed yet? If they made it little bit less retarded in the way it scales it would be somewhat playable.

Also can't see whether they fixed the retarded FOV on screens.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

a mediocre Fable clone

This has nothing in common with Fable. Oblivion is closer in comparison.
