Hell yes! This news just made my week!

GTFO. Why waste the time? KoA is the epitome of mediocrity.

 

It needs hardcore, nightmare difficulty settings and NG+ done right.

 

Super excited for this one. Really hope for free copy, multistore offer and that they fix level/difficulty and leave graphics mostly untouched.

 

The combat system was kinda neat.

 

1.

2.

3.

 

Next, they'll remaster Superman 64

 

Still one of the biggest waste of 5 bucks summer sale I ever did. I can barely remember it despite trying it twice. Same with Two Worlds.

 

Oh come on guys!
The graphics were colorful, the combat was pretty fantastic really; the best action RPG combat this side of Dragons Dogma and Dark Souls
Ok granted the view distance was atrocious and the gameworld itself was mostly forgettable but if the devs tweak the view distance so giant mushrooms don’t pop up 5 meters from your character, update the textures a bit and add a smooth 60 fps its a very nice action RPG I would love to have on my Switch for $20

 

the game itself is really mediocre but the combat was pretty good. knowing THQ i hope this paves a way to a sequel that's not a scrapped MMO.

 

I wonder how much game could be improved by simply having an actual hard mode.

 

I played 10ish hours of this and remember thinking the combat was okay and the lore seemed interesting, but everything else was boring and padded. Wonder if they could speed up the game a lot for a remaster, but I'd guess nothing gameplay wise will change.

 

*dramatic chord of no one giving a fuck*

 

Game is piss-easy on the hardest setting. It's also extremely shallow with generic quests, locations, and copy-paste dungeons that all look-alike. The world is empty and feels like you're playing a buggy pre-alpha single-player version of WoW. Combat is fun but content is absolute trash.

 

This is actually pretty funny. The original release was, for all intents and purposes, sent out to die by EA, coming out between Skyrim and Mass Effect 3. With the benefit of eight years of hindsight, you'd think Nordic would have taken a lesson, but instead they want to release a remake of a game that wasn't all that popular to begin with a month before Cyberpunk. Bold strategy.

 

Beside pumping up the numbers?
You need competent people under different publisher for that so yeah, nah.

TW had decent crafting and magic system but yeah, everything else screams bland.

 

I remember playing a demo of this turd, when it was released. Glad I did, cause it was utter garbage.

 

I'll take ten!

 

Who asked for this?

 

I don't see what is wrong with it. The game was literally garbage but even so it was much better than most of the games in Codex GOTY lists these days. I mean you faggots awarded the 2019 RPG GOTY to a fucking visual novel.

 

On the one hand, nobody gives a shit about this.

On the other, this is a sign that THQ Nordic actually does something with their IPs rather than just hoarding them and doing nothing. Look at all the IPs owned by studios like EA for example, and how they've been lying dormant for years.

It's cool that THQ Nordic actually cares about its less popular IPs. And they're well known for being a hands-off publisher when it comes to their devs.

This is good news.

 

I managed 100 % on Kingdoms of Amalur not counting few quests which were bugged and wouldn't disappear from quest log. It's a single-player MMO. The story is about a fearie-Hitler commiting junta on his fellow men and starting WWII:Remastered and you stopping him. The first portion of the game on the west lands is fairly open but the eastside is just walking from point A to B and killing the big bad + his dragon. The game was shy on telling the story of your character before his death and resulting amnesia but they do tell that you are chosen one and if I remember right you traded part of yourself or made some other sacrifice to not be bound to fate like others to have an upper hand in fighting faerie Hitler. The best part of the story is build-up and then breaking the siege of dark-elves town on east lands. Everything else is really forgettable plus the game goes Skyrim-route and tries to railroad you into every cave known to man. The combat is great thanks to animations and skills which can be comboed together but the balance is on the MMO side as Reckoning was a singleplayer reboot for a project intended for multiplayer. The game has some weird level-scaling which happens when you enter new area if I am right. So you do some quests and realize enemies are no threat to you because you outlevel them. The endgame was even worse because I remember when I crafted pristine gems and custom armor, nothing could even take a single hitpoint from my character. I recommend Swordmaster playstyle/class as it gives high dex mobility but also has high damage coming from warrior class.

 

templar is back! συντροφε δεν ειχες δωσει ορκο στον τρισμεγιστο Δια οτι δεν θα ξαναπατησεις εδω?

 

I'd buy that for a dollar!

All in all, it's indeed a single-player MMO, it's not all that good.
