Completed LP: Kingdoms of Amalur Demo

[felipepepe]

Once you finish the tutorial it goes to an open map, but it not a actual open map. It's more of an corridor maze, you follow narrow roads & passages everywhere, exactly like Fable 1, and even towns and complex crossroads feel squeezed in.

Also the world map didn't appeared to be big...the demo area is kind of small, but It covers a big area on the world map.

oh god the graphics are shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!

03 - Souls and Stealth

Last we left off, our Timmy and our midget friend, were close to the Well of Souls

Impressive.

Uh-oh. Those glowing things can't be good

And then the thing explodes, sending big chuncks of rock and other shit into every direction (ecxept ours )

Right. Time to move out.

The entire mine seems close to collapse, it would be cool if it weren't scripted (Radiant) and the falling debris could actually hurt you.

Yay, another chest!

Suddenly, more Tuatha come and try to kill me, what a surprise!

The shield we just find can be used to block incoming attacks, but we can't shield us from attacks from behind and from the side.

Finally!

I equip it as my secondary weapon.

In the next corridor, the game allows us to conveniently dispatch some Tuatha with our bow

Yeah. Ammo is so last-gen

More baddies, I'll use my sword here

BAM!

Destroying crates to uncover chests and loot. Wonder where they got that...

Let's move on...

We are now ready to make our first stealth kill

Don't we look ridiculous dangerous

Geez where have we heard that before

Never... look... back

Finishing move time!

Swooping is badddd....

Time to deal with the other two...

I make it quick

I watch as debris crushes the remaining Tuatha and some soldiers.

According to the gnome (yes he's still with us) these flowers only light up when someone touched by magic is near them... Guess what?

NEXT UPDATE: Timmy further demonstrates his magic skills!

 

[Brother None]

It's like you are the chosen one or something!

SO ORIGINAL.

 

[DraQ]

Shit art direction, shit graphics, shit plot, shit world design, shit races.
I don't see any reason to bother - even with demo.

 

[lightbane]

Lulz, this game literally reeks of popamole and consoletard trash.

 

[Vault Dweller]

Pretty much. And I understand that it's a tutorial, but still... "Congratulations! You've equipped a long bow!" Yay! Achievements! "Daggers are a special kind of weapon (they are? wow) preferred by rogues. Try equipping them now!"

Just how retarded the target audience is?

 

[DraQ]

Special weapons for special audiences.

(And machete sized daggers are definitely 'special'.)

 

[Vault Dweller]

And regenerating ammo?

 

[DraQ]

And regenerating ammo?

Regenerating ammo is the very definition of 'special'. You just can't be any more special than Amalulz audiences without requiring permanent life support, apparently.

 

[DwarvenFood]

the art of the surroundings is pretty nice here and there, though.. strange how one moment it seems todd mcfarlane and the other Fable. suspect todd did not have carte blanche on the gfx.

 

[shihonage]

why are you doing LP for a WoW expansion pack

 

[Aldebaran]

Yikes, that is some bad dialogue. Gave me flashbacks to any number of WoW raid bosses. "So you've come to die..." "Look at the mortal vermin scatter." "Pathetic Creatures. A Mistake of the gods. Easily corrected."

Did they pay someone for this? If the dialogue was intended to be free of personality, originality, and subtlety, then give the man a medal.

04 - Burning Giant Spiders

I found some robes in a nearby chest, now we're ready to face anything

Got to admit that the games art direction does have it's moments.

Shit, giant spiders.

Notice the gnome in the bottom right corner of the screenshot. Lazy fuck won't do anything to help me.

We find a staff on the nearby corpse. Yay time for some MAGIK SKILLZ!

We use the staff to burn these webs away, I have to say this is a clever use of fireballs.

More spiders. Man, the staff combat made me feel like I was playing Jedi Academy again!

Fucking gnome sill lazy as fuck

Looks like we're somewhere more civilized at last.

No shit sherlock.

Whatever, you we're a BIG waste of Timmy's time. Fuck off

NEXT UPDATE: We meet Hugues (Duh!)

 

[lightbane]

So, I've been thinking: Why are these fairies so dangerous? Wasn't cold iron the universal weakness of these (as silver is for werewolves)?? The humies could just build a fence made of cold iron and watch how the fairies die trying to cross it.

 

[PorkaMorka]

I am unable to understand how it could possibly be considered acceptable for weapons to look like that.

Fixed.

Also, why the fuck was spider carrying a staff?
o_O

And fucking how???

 

[Forest Dweller]

Hand-like appendages from her twat. Don't you know anything about spiders?

 

[MaroonSkein]

Also, why the fuck was spider carrying a staff?
o_O

And fucking how???

It wasn't. The dead dude who presumably had been killed by the spiders was. You can see the corpse in the screenshot where the staff is first equipped.

 

[Commissar Draco]

So is this worth stealing? Demoing? looks and feels more retarted than Skyrim and even DA2.

Just download a movie. Will use less bandwitch and entertain you longer.

Oh My Fucking God... And people are actually appreciating those fuckers.
They should really stick to Kingdoms Of Amalulz ...
Casting sleep on the Ogre and Orcs, killing the ORCS first. Going back up to save. Returning to the Ogre( still sleeping somehow, due to their DUMB LUCK ), manually position the characters around him, guy gets one-shotted, leave him there, and LEAVE THE FUCKING CHEST you reloaded 3 fucking times for ALONE....
Am I dreaming...? Is this for real?

 

[dextermorgan]

I don't know. I kind of like the atmosphere of the game. Perhaps if someone was to mod a less jarring arsenal into the game it would be quite easy on the eyes.
