Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

[Your Mom]

The demo is out and I thought it was pretty good. Anyone else play it? It's a lot like Fable but it seems way darker which is fun. Plus if you play the demo you get exclusive items in the full game and in Mass Effect 3. It comes out in a few weeks and I think it's worth a look.

My person stopped moving in the demo It looks like it could be a good one though.

Mass Effect 3 items? Sold!

[KONGO]

Was considering getting it, may have to go for it.

I had a few problems with the demo. Sometimes, conversations wouldn't start up and then they suddenly would after I left the area and it speed through it without me getting any input and put me back where I was.

But it's very fun. Lots of Dragon Age and Fable influences (two franchises that I love) which hooked me in once I get outta the intro area. Looking forward to it though, I might end up having to pick it up.

It'll get instantly debunked when ME3 comes out, but that's just the nature of the beast.

[Ruki]

After I play through the demo, do I have to keep the game on my hard-drive to get the ME3 items? Because I am running out of space...

[King Ellis]

It'll be tied to your EA account, I imagine.

Anyway, I got to the first village, found a glitch to keep selling items but still keep them. Then for no raisin I slaughtered everyone. I did a side quest for someone and with about 5 minutes of the demo left, my Xbox froze. FFS.

What exactly do you need to do to get the ME3 items? Just spend the 45 minutes in the demo or actually persue the quest to it's end?

I also would like to know this.

[King Ellis]

I've followed the main quest and it says it can only be completed on the main game so I guess you just need to see the 45 minutes through. Well, 45 minutes after you complete the tutorial cave.

EDIT: Yep, 45 minutes up and it say i've unlocked the ME3 item.

[Ruki]

Weird...it said I unlocked the ME3 item at the beginning of the demo.

[Meacon Keaton]

Takes longer for gays?

[Quom]

Nah unlocked straight away for me.

[King Ellis]

There's different items. One you get just for starting the demo and one cor actually getting to the end.

[Ruki]

Oh

What's the one for getting to the end? I did the tutorial mission, got to the scientist dude and then turned it off.. It was fun enough, but I wanted to play Skyrim.

[King Ellis]

Some kind of 'launcher' weapon, I believe.

[apsham]

I thought the game looked generic as hell - I'll probably download the demo now.

[-A-]

Yeah, I read the name and assumed it would be generic rubbish. Will definitely give the demo a try now, though.

[Timmoru Suzuki]

Just played it. I'll not be rushing out to but it, though I might pick it up cheap. It does remind of Fable (and I love Fable 2), but without the charm. It does have elements of Dragon Age, which is nice; but I'm just not sure how much I'd play it when, well, I could be on Skyrim instead!

The world and the lore do feel a little 'generic fantasy' too.

But the gameplay was fine and there's some nice options to mess around with, and if the story-telling in the quests is good then I could get into it.

[Dan]

I was really enjoying the demo until my xbox crashed up last night.

It felt like what Fable 3 should have been.

[Liam]

It has got decent reviews all in all. Anyone checked it out?
