Overdone? What do you mean?

Anyway, I like that they say they want to incorporate some fighting game mechanics into combat, it should be interesting what they did. Though, it's looking like what they have done is no different from DMC or Bayonetta.

I mean it looks over the top for my tastes, with firestorms, incredible jumps, ice blades protruding from the PC's hands, etc.

I like dynamic combat (ex. I thought the Witcher 2's wasn't bad), but this looks a bit cartoonish and "OH LOOK HOW EPIC I BEHEAD MONSTERS IN SLO-MO WHILE SHOOTING LIGHTINGS AT THEM!" to me.

Still very interested in the game though. But more for the exploration of this (reportedly) huge and interesting world and the lore.

Oh, well, that same thing is what sells me on the game.

Turns out, I'm not much for such openness. I can't play Skyrim right now because there's just so much to do and it overwhelms me to think about it. But if I just go through the story, then I won't feel like I got my money's worth. Maybe when the time comes that I have nothing better to do.

Oh, and the combat doesn't look flashy enough.  I like how Amalur's combat looks flashy.

This'll probably fill the gaming void in my life before ME3. It looks interesting enough- not a fun of the archaic looking text and UI, but all the previews so far have really complemented the gameplay and class system, so I'm willing to give it a chance.

In total agreement with you Pedrak, the ridiculous animations are tremendously off putting, seems this childish crap is spreading and spoiling what might have been an interesting game. Pity.

The game seems a blend of MMO's and hack n'slash (God of War)

I have a strong aversion to over the top combat moves and animations after playing Arkham Asylum And TW2. And I'm sorry but I hate the art style. The hard fact is Todd MacFarlane isn't as talented as some of the pros already established in the industry.

The fact that Salvatore created the background story and lore is reason enough for me to not touch it with a ten foot pole.

I'm usually not a fan of action games, except Bayonetta...but the rpg mechanics seems very solid, so it'll be neat to get a breath of fresh air in the genre. I hope it is stuffed with content.

Should be fun playing as a rogue...the daggers are said to have more meaning and I love the weapon design.

There are a ton of Destinies, I'm just going to play and see which ones open up to me

I have no doubt all the Warrior destinies will open up.

Destinies open up after you've obtained a certain number of abilities under the three skill trees. And to get the destinies that combine two or all three, you need to have learned a certain number under the corresponding archetypes.

I always go for the warrior classes, they compliment my playstyle the most. I'm not much for archery and all that stealthy stuff. And the only magic I might dabble in are healing spells.


Aside from all that, I love the voice acting. Liam O'Brien is always great and Peter Reneday voices that guy you meet in the beginning of the game, if he doesn't appear throughout I'm sure Peter Reneday will voice some other notable character.

Claudia Black sounds very good here too. I hope she's more than just the narrator or it turns out the narrator is someone who is very important to the story.

Still waiting for a Lord of The Rings RPG. Enjoying War In The North at the moment but it could be so mug better.

So, uh, what race does everyone want to play?

From the elven races, the Dokkalfar are the ones that look the best to me. For some reason, I am somehow drawn to races that don't fall in line with my class choice with their starting stats.

Dokkalfar Shadowcaster will be my first character.

I'll be going with a Ljosalfar and use a combination of Might and Sorcery.

Since when did something become crap because it's colorful? You know what this game really needs? MOAR BROWN!!! Also, looking over the top is a design choice. It doesn't make for a bad game.

Can't remember names. I'll go for the race that said it's usually pirates and such, and I'll probably play a rouge like character with twin blades.

Haven't made up my mind between this and dragons dogma.

I may have to pass on this one. I'm not really into over the top hack n slash combat in my RPGs. I watched the combat trailer and I swear one of the characters did a Street Fighter uppercut and then started shooting someone with arrows.

I'll wait until one of my friends plays it first.

The combat is done with one button no? It's not hack 'n slash in the way Devil May Cry is.

At 9:35 I have to appluad BHG. I was worried about the UI nice to see they have a seperate UI for Mouse/keyboard and controller unlike well Skyrim.

I don't know, I just watched the combat overview on this page Combat Overview

1:01 is definitely a Shoryuken.  Then all the leaping in the air, blades forming out of hands, the Reckoning finish moves.  Just not my thing.

Ugh. Ugly.

I think the youtube comment sums it up pretty well: wow + oblivion + fable hybrid.

Add the fact that the evil corporation EA is behind it, and a no-thank-you is prompt.

Meh EA is just publishing it and I believe Origin won't be required for the PC version. Curt Schilling actually said that they might be able to get the game onto Steam.

By Odins eight legged steed it's pronounced Yotun.

I quite like the colourful world, the norse influences (children of the light and dark etc) and the plot sounds interesting but that combat would just get on my pecs over time, just silly.

Yeah the combat won't be for everyone but they are trying to differentiate themselves in this market. The most common combat comparison I've read from writers who have actually played it was God of War with RPG mechanics supporting it.

Reckoning on Facebook highlighted today, ironically, a Destiny that is specific to how I'm going to play....Spellcloak. Mage who plays in the shadows and is stealthy. It looks like teleporting in this Destiny poisons enemies you go through. Interesting.

Each weapon and spell is supposed to have a special secret function we have to explore into and see if we can discover what it is.

I might make a girl character for this game. I'm envisioning a long haired brunette with pretty eyes but a definite toughness and grittiness.
