Kingdoms of Amalur

[Zoop]

Yeah, but it gets a bit heated when you've got three mages all attempting to hurl multiple fireballs at you, at the same time. :P

[Zoop]

I went all SQUEEE when I got this:



But the literally 5 minutes later I salvaged the Prismere Hammer below it and built a much, much better one from it.

I Hate that you can't salvage purple items. :<

Im only lv22, been taking it slow due to the fact that im in pain atm (Slipped disc) but thought Id ask about the "Online" aspect of the game. I got a pass in the boxed game that I bought, which comes with free armor set are & quests etc (not sure which quests), but what part of the game is online. I dont see any options to go online to play with or against others.. Maybe it's just me but have I missed something here :)

The "Online" stuff is just DLC you get with first purchase. Theres no actual online play. Its 100% single player. :D

I had a really hard time finding this game on PC. I bought it on PS3, not knowing that a PC version existed because I'd searched through two entire shopping malls, and couldn't find it.

I tried a different mall and eventually found the last remaining copy in the entire mall.

How is this possible, did they really all just sell out that quickly? Not even Skyrim sold out that fast, as far as I can recall...

Is this game really that good? I played like 30 minutes on the PS3 version, and I thought it was so-so. Does it get better?

^^ Yeah also had a hard time finding it, I find it to be a little above so-so and OH MY WORD the side quests! more of them then there are grains of sand on the planet. Main quests completed 4 and side quests over 20 done, and I'm still in the beginning of the game.

Finished it this morning, and I have to say, the second half of my playthrough was rather underwhelming for me. Maybe it just drug out too long, seeing as you spend more or less 40-50 hours doing the same thing over and over again. Either way, it was an excellent game, but unfortunately the part I'm going to remember it by is the last monotonous part.

Also, I still stand by what I said about interrupts. Switched to Might at the end, and nowhere else are interrupts as irritating as with Might, due to the fact that you're constantly in the thick of the action. There's nothing as annoying as being busy chaining attacks and an off-screen enemy shoots you with magic balls or something similar.

Interrupts are actually one of the more common complaints for the game. They would make sense if your attacks only got interrupted by powerful attacks, but when you're busy fighting and an arrow that shaves of only 1/50th of your health interrupts your chain, it's goddamned annoying as hell and more than enough to send even the most patient of people into a raging fury.

I'm at the beginning and the interrupts annoying me.

The PC demo is on this months PC Format is anyone wants to see what the game is all about before buying it.

Quick question. I have a lv39 Might/Finnese, & a lv31 Pure Sorcery. The lv39 character appears to get random amounts of gold appearing on screen constantly while in battle, anything upto 350ish each message. The Sorcery character does not have this.

My 1st thought was to check the equipment & fate cards etc of the lv39 but can't see anything that would cause this. I'm not moaning about it, but just extremely curious as to why it's happening.
