If you haven't played this game and you're desperate for a really great RPG experience, I highly recommend this title. Yeah it's barely been upgraded, but honestly once you're a few hours in you'll hardly pay any attention to the graphics. It's got AWESOME gameplay, a great story and like the man said the music and especially voice acting is god tier tbh. I won't be playing it again, sadly not enough has been upgraded to make it worth a revisit but I remember my 60+ hour play through extremely fondly. : ) 8/10

How about I won’t spend $40 because I’ve already played it and don’t feel the need to spend that on a game I’ve already played given that the rerelease hasn’t been upgraded much. I like the game enough that I’m willing to buy it again on offer, but not enough to pay $40 for when I could use that money to buy basically countless other games that I’ve yet to play.

@h0113r0 3 года назад

Level lock has been removed The original game determined the level of a zone on first entering, this was stored in the save file. In Re-Reckoning we re-calculate the level every time entering or re-entering a level New zone Level calculation The original game has all zones marked with a minimum and maximum level. on entering, the current player level was clamped into this minimum / maximum range and stored as level We now use the current difficulty level as a means to determine the level before clamping into the minimum / maximum range. On Casual difficulty, the player level is reduced a bit, on hard and very hard it is increased. We also increase the maximum values for hard and very hard difficulty The XP gain has been reduced to cater for the increased level of enemies and we made sure that XP is not increased when playing on harder difficulties due to the effect of beating higher level enemies The result is that you can still out-level zones - which is desirable if it doesn‘t happen too quick. It is part of the power fantasy to be able to come back to initial zones and be over powered - but out-leveling zones you play for the first time should only happen rarely We also made the zone Level calculation easier to modify by modders (PC only) Loot level lock of Containers removed Loot containers now only store their generated loot when they are opened while before they used to store it when entering a zone and were generated to the current player level Loot generation was changed In Re-Reckoning loot generation rules are altered so that you will more often get items that fit your characters skillset. Loot is mostly randomly generated but we increased the weights of loot that matches the players skill lineup better and we have a virtual counter that increases the chance of better loot drops when you didn‘t find anything good

I'm excited for this game. I absolutely loved the original on PS3 but for some reason never ended up playing the DLC's for it. A re-release on PS4 with some tweaks and bundled with the add ons at its price point is just fine to me. I'm happy to support the IP again. Would love to see a new game in the future.

@Mister Mindcrime Although THQ's "remasters" are rather lack-luster in the actual remaster department, they do tend to bring frequent content updates to the games they bring under their wing. I mean they introduced 2 new expansions over the last couple of years for Titan Quest. So maybe once some additional content has come out for this it'll be worth grabbing.

@SomethingScotty 3 года назад

@Mister Mindcrime THQ added a Lost City of Atlantis and a Norse mythology-themed expansion called Ragnarok to Titan Quest. If you have Steam you can just browse it on the Steam store page.

Great review. Loved this back in the day and i was keen at first to get it but in the end i just didn't see enough difference to make me want to pay full price for it again. This could of definitely benefited from a destroy all humans type remake which would of been awesome rather than a remaster.

@Lutrian 3 года назад

The one issue which made me stop playing the original, was how it required so much work to min-max using the level-lock system it used for the various zones (you enter a zone, and the level is permanently locked to your level, or to the min or max if you're underleveled or overleveled). This fixes this, by unlocking the levels of the zones. There is no more dread of accidentally entering a zone too early, and having a level 6-15 level zone stuck permanently at level 6. This is why I'm looking forward to this.

Judging by how poor it runs on an overpowered PC, I don't think they would've made it run on the Switch. It's a low effort re-release, porting it to Switch and making it run well enough was probably too much of a bother.

Did they add another shortcut bar to this version?

@spacemonkeyentertainment6413 3 года назад

I love KoA. It does a few things very well imo: You always feel badass, like you never run around in rags and feel like you are just rushing to the endgame content, because that is what matters. Instead you get sets that look epic early on, even if you will eventually swap them out ofc. The storylines can be quite good. However they also tried really hard to create hype moments and then just ran out of money and had to fill in the blanks with generic encounters (i have a few specific encounters in mind here, that just underdelivered what was promised); I assume that wasn't rectified in this version whatsoever. The stories are still good, but you can tell the spots where there was more planned and never got finished, because the original studio had to cut corners just to ship the game out back then. One of my favorite features is the class system. Respeccing and trying things out is always fun and you can truly find your own playstyle and preferences unlike what is so often promised, but then feels suboptimal. That being said, i think it comes at the cost of difficulty, the balancing is off and overall the game is pretty easy. Imo the game shines in it's Addons, which to my understanding are included in the base version of Re-Reckoning (Please correct me, if i am wrong on this one, or if you know for sure, confirm that point please). Also that version will get a new DLC at some point in the future, which actually might convince me to buy the game later down the line. All in all as it stands the Re-Reckoning version doesn't offer me enough to make me repurchase a game, that i could basically play for free now. If you've never played it, maybe watch the first 30min-1h of a let's play. You basically get more of the same with, as i said, slight peaks in the (formerly) Addons imo. EDIT: The inventory system was aweful ! The whole marking loot as trash in a fiddly console-ready menu gets annoying really quickly imo.

i like never buy games... but i consider that the 12$ i gave for the game aren't enough... and the fact that they went bankrupt before accomplishing their goal of creating the same type of game but with different game style BUT multiplayer... just tilts me off that they didn't manage to do it, so i'm gonna show all the support and i'll love to play the game on 4K now. Also i hope that enough people will be able to buy so they get back to the Project Copernicus game. imo the game deserved way more than other game launched at that time and costed 40$, so i'll consider i'll just pay the difference to get an extra gift from them while i gift them back for one of the best feeling games i played in my childhood and also trying it at least once a year xD

@Tyrany42 3 года назад

My biggest gripe with the original Amalur: you level up waaaaay too fast. My first playthrough I reached the level cap and I was barely halfway done with the story. My second playthrough I avoided lorestones, sidequests I didn't like, and using the reckoning mode button mash for bonus XP, and I still reached the level cap before I was done with the story. I doubt they changed that at all, and I didn't really enjoy Amalur that much anyways, so this is a pass for me.

@trahvesty9538 3 года назад

Here is what they changed from the original: •You can now change the appearance of the HUD to smaller than default or completely hidden. •A new Very Hard difficulty setting. This setting changes the damage output of enemies, health of players & allies, and the amount of attacks that enemies may do at any one time. Level caps zones are also higher than other difficulties. •New Level Zone Calculation: The original had all zones marked with a minimum & maximum level. Upon entering, the current player level was clamped onto this range & stored. Meaning if you entered a 2-7 range at level 2, the whole zone stayed at level 2. The remaster instead scales the zone up to the MAX of the range. •The game now uses the current difficulty level to determine the MIN and MAX level range. On Casual difficulty, the level is reduced a bit. On Hard & Very Hard, it is increased instead. •The XP gain has been reduced to cater to the increased level of enemies, and the XP is not increased when playing on harder difficulties, due to the effect of fighting more higher level enemies. •Loot containers now only store their generated loot when they are opened, while before they used to store it when entering a zone and were generated to the current player level at that time. •Loot Generation has been changed so that you will more often get items that fit your character’s skill set. Loot is mostly randomly generated but they increased the weights of loot that match the player’s skill lineup better. There is also a virtual counter that increases the chances of better loot drops, when you dont find anything good for awhile. Hopefully this answers some questions :)
