Instead of posting link after link I'll just post the Metacritic page for the game, we can use that as a hub.  Overall it is getting pretty high scores averaging about an 8/10

Joystiq gave it a perfect score? A 100?

Goddamn. I don't know about THAT. Course, I don't have the game yet(will pick it up in a few hours), but by playing the demo I didn't think the game would ever get a perfect score.

 My friend just finally got his copy on Steam loaded and pretty much had this reaction. 

Yeah I dont think I will be talking to him for a few days.

I went and picked up the PC version retail.  Funny thing they had it on sale already at $10 off (Future Shop).

I would say that is a highly biased reviewer there. He gave Skyrim 5/5 with all it's bugs, blandness and wonky combat system...yet he's nitpicking depth in Reckoning.

Adam Sandler is hit and miss on his reviews.

I always liked Sessler. Seemed like the only person worth anything on G4 as for the review itself well I don't know not like I bought it waiting on an sale for it eventually.

Skyrim has plenty of depth and weight in its storytelling, its only really lacking in character interaction, and its had no significant ongoing bugs apart from the PS3 save game bug. Early on KOA appears to be shallow in every aspect of the story and characters and Sessler has played the game right through.

Sandler...rofl.

SESSLER is a good dude. ME fans gotta respect him for recking Fox News on his show after the ME1 sex report happened and Geoff Keighley got unfairly handicapped.

Skyrim has very little depth...and the ES series hasn't evolved much at all. They still use the same awful combat system they've been using for ten years or so now. Only thing different between Oblivion and Skyrim is the setting. The only way an ES game is really playable is if you mod it. Talking vanilla games here...Skyrim is pure suck and definitely nowhere near a perfect 5.

[LPPrince]

Y'all gonna let the great(my opinion) Skyrim takeover KoA's thread the day it comes out?

Really.

Played for a bit, combat feels a little tighter control wise compared to the demo.  Got all the DLC gear from the demo now..... it's all Might based though so can't use it as I'm playing a finesse character.

Gonna have to pace myself as I can see this consuming a lot of my time.

You didn't get the daggers or faeblades? I think there was a bow too. I got my game copy from Amazon though so maybe I have different stuff than you.

Ya I just played the demo I didn't pre-order from anywhere, but as I said getting it $10 off was a nice trade for that.  Oh ya there was a Chakram in the gear also I can give those a try later.

See that just shows you haven't played it.

Been playing it for the last 7+hours straight. I need a shoulder massage, heh.

I was actually disappointed initially, but eventually pinned it down to having to replay the area available in the demo. Once I got into new territory, my enthusiasm for the game returned. If only I don't have to work next day ...

Skyrim has been sitting pretty on my HDD for the last week and is set to be ignored for a couple of months since ME3 is coming out on the heels of KoA.

Just hit Level 10 with my female redhead dusky skinned Dokkalfar, she unlocked Arcanist (Tier 3 Finess/Sorcery) at Level 9. Warlock (Tier 4) will only unlock at Level 16 earliest. (Really had to resist playing her straight Finess; I'm reserving that for a Varani charactor).

As per my revised build, she uses Sorcery at range and Finess up close
1) Long range: Storm Bolt (Lightning)
2) Mid range: Mark of Flame (Fire)
3) Short range: Shadow Flare (Piercing / Bleeding)
4) Melee: Faeblades (Physical / Piercing)
She does equip a Sceptre, but probably used it for like 2% of enemies, since I am overly enthusiatic in having her tumble into mobs in a spinning blur of blades.

I think I pushed her too fast so she ending up dying often when fighting Ettins and Trolls past Arden's Hut (plus I was stingy with my potions). Did manage to find a replacement for my long-serving Faeblade of Songs while stalking trolls, a green faeblade with no fancy mods but same physical damage and double piercing damage.

Armor-wise, I'm still stuck mostly with the pre-order bonus set armour (IMO, the bonus set mage robe is UGLY! I wish I could have found the set mage robe from my last demo run which IMO looks really nice) Besides the Selkie Veil, I did dig up a blue pair of mage shoes.

Sleepy, I need a nap at least (debating whether to set my alarm for one hour).

No need for that, I think KOA is an enjoyable game it just doesn't offer much beyond that.

I hear the story isn't good and that the side quests simply consist of "go here, collect this, kill this and return" which sounds bad to me. After watching a few videos, I've seen much of this in several side quests. I also swear that some of the dungeons/caves look the same.

The combat is praised by most but when I think RPG, I think story, characters and choices and Reckoning is said to be lacking in those according to a few.

Are these statements true?

Reviews I have seen have stated there are a number of more original style side missions than simply kill X number or fetch missions.

I just so happen to get sick today and UPS is late... At least I'm sick and am not in the mood to play anything at all. I fear I have the flu.

I don't care if side quests feel the same, the combat is enough for me to feel enjoyment throughout the game.

[Jestina]

Only problem i'm having so far is...I can't find any storage for my loot.

And the crime system. I don't really care for that in RPG's because they are so badly implemented. If no one is about to see me, there shouldn't be a percentage of someone spotting me. On the plus side at least the entire town didn't riot when I killed a chicken(like they do in Skyrim).

Repetition is pretty much a staple in the majority of RPG's...so that's just nitpicky. Unless we are talking Dragon Age which is a more linearized RPG.

The Skyrim fanboys sure are creeping out of the woodwork today. They can't even stay in their own thread.
