how much they paid you guys for this vid?
I Never Heard About Kingdoms of Amalur Before
@@jhincain2053 the game is good you should play it
@@weirdguy8422 the game is good you should play it
Always remember to spend points in blacksmithing and sagecrafting. It gives better gear.
Sales weren't the issue they sold 3 million copies. What messed them up was the tax and loan issues.
Too much was spent on development they would have had to break sales records to make a profit.
That was just sales from initial release. Then EA distributed it later and now THQ.
Sales were an issue, they didn't sell 3 million, 3 million is what would they have needed to sell to break even, I think they just sold nearly over a million
@@greywolf187 Uh yes they did sell 3 million copies. The problem was 38 Studios was also working on an MMO before KoA was released. They blew through all their cash and tried to keep borrowing more. When another loan didn't get approved, the studio went under.
@@greywolf187 The 1 million number you're quoting is the 90 day total. Which was actually 1.2 million in the 1st 90 days.
The issue, as I said, was 38 Studios was also working on an MMO based off it and had signed a deal with EA to make KoA 2. So when the sequel wasn't going to manifest, EA sued for its money back for breach of contract. Add to that the fact that they exhausted their funds on KoA & the MMO (codename Copernicus). Failing to secure an additional loan from Rhode Island, they went under a short time later.
Criminally underrated. This is the first game of there what would've been and still may be franchise. You can make a legit argument that this is the best first outing in the Fantasy genre for a franchise. And I know there have been some greats. But the argument is there in my humble opinion
Agreed
Agreed x2
Agreed again this is a Polished game
Agreed
Agreed
WatchMojo really didn't do their homework.
Sales weren't the issue. It was bad management by 38 Studios, they were trying to make an mmo before Amalur even released and blew thru all their cash.
The DLC was included in the previous EA release, not in just the Re-Reckoning.
The video also failed to mention that those who owned the original (on Steam) got $20 off buying Re-Reckoning.
tips for new players here, these tips will give you an extremely well put boost on yourselves letting you play on very hard mode whit ease.
Here is a tip for people who play the game.
1: When going to recycle items, always save, recycle, and see if you get the best part of the items, if you did not get the part that you need it, just reload and that's it.
2: Invest in smithing to the max level, it' will give you an upper hand on fine equipment that you can craft yourself.
3: always pick reagents, they are free and when you need healing, just get on the menu, and bam, potions are costly, and the plants have the same effect.
4: always do early explorations and start whit normal difficult, when reaching level 10 switch to hard and then on 20 switch to very hard, the exp values change, the enemy level's too.
5: farm big enemies like leanashe, rock/mountain trolls, and crudocks, for secured loot of green, blue quality for crafting.
6: farm belts from the freeman people to get extra money in your pockets!
7: always buy jewels that give you chances to critical hits, health, and mana are always brought to you from the equipment parts.
This is Soo helpful thank you 🙏🏿💯
I spent hundreds of hours playing the original, I can’t wait to get paid and revisit it
It’s not bad, I’ve been replaying it for the last month and love it!
Same! I had the mass effect special weapons too. I love this game.
I wish people understood the difference between a period and a comma.
galdaius107 I missed out on the daggers but the Shepard Armor was my primary up until I became a Gladiator!
I wouldn't mind getting paid to play this game
My all time favorite action rpg. Always made me think of a mix between Dragon Age and Elder Scrolls for story and world but with a heavy focus on combat.
I did like the combat
To me it’s a mix between fable and elder scrolls
Jade Empire needs a remaster as well.
I’m genuinely shocked it hasn’t happened yet
I tried jade empire too but everything feels too dated. Whereas with this one I started few days ago and am 10 hours in already. Underrated gem!
We just gonna let it slide that he called the Legend of Dead Kel, the Legend of Dad Kel?
I had to scroll back in the video when I heard that, thought my ears were playing tricks on me. XD
Taking the L on this one - my finger must have not hit a particular key hard enough when I was writing the script.
...though they COULD put in an area inhabited by dads making dad jokes all day
I don’t understand why this game wasn’t more popular. I played through it twice and I would barely classify myself as a casual gamer
I was playing this over the elder scrolls V and I still stand by that fact this is the superior RPG. Call me what you want lol. Thanks again Curt Schilling. 👊💥🇺🇸
Totally Agree
Agreed 👍
Agree! The game is great i hope we get a sequel
Combat was fluid and engaging. The environment and feeling of world immersion... Not so much.
Technically elder scrolls V is not an RPG. It uses rpg elements but it's not an RPG. Your not playing a specific roll in elder scrolls your playing all roles.Second there only a few times in the game you make any decision on a situation and even than those decisions don't effect any outcome based on your decision. Even game developers are forgetting or losing sight what makes an RPG and to many games are being labeled as an RPG when in fact they are not. Now kingdoms of amular is most definitely an RPG because every situation involves a decision and whatever decision you make determines an outcome from that decision and the character you choose you build around that specific character. That's what makes a roll playing game and elder scrolls V does not have the core elements that make an RPG an RPG they just borrow some RPG elements. Example character progression a lot of people argue that makes an RPG an RPG but that's stupid because there are many games that don't even borrow any rpg elements that do involve progression and clearly are not RPG games. The whole rpg term is used way to broadly these days and the more this happens I think the less we are gonna see true RPGs being created which is gonna suck for true RPG fans that do know and understand what an RPG game is
Focus skill points on blacksmithing and stagecraft. You can build better gear than anything that is unique or set class gear.
True
@@otisbarrett8327 also, the way gear is now generated, it is easier to get "sacrifice" gear to pull apart and focus on getting the best materials possible.
@@witecatj6007 man I'm doing this right now , find gears and salvage it
Also, max out Detect Hidden ability.
@@J.W.J. Yeah, that becomes a life saver with traps. You do get an ability to disarm and add parts.
I absolutely love this game. I recently got it on PS4. It's amazing.
I love this game. And I'm hoping Fatesworn gets released with both a physical release, and a DLC release.
Does the loot thing effect the hidden universal armour set location
I bought this game a couple years ago. I finally installed it this year and was blown away
I played the original, chakrams were my favorite weapons
I eventually had a jack of all trades
chakrams were my favorite too, I'm currently using scorching of devouring
Played this all of the time when it first dropped. Sadly my 360’s disc drive went bad before I could ever finish it so I’m looking forward to finally beating it!
This game reminds me of the old pc game Fate. Way back before youtube was a big thing and still just a independent website. Good times. This helped me alot. Im glad you guys got this video, even though its not a huge game like skyrim its right up there next to it.
Interested to see the future what more might come, but I played enough of the original version that rereckoning doesn't currently sound worth it if you played it before.
Damn this just seems like an ad. Gotta love the ignoring of the huge amount of bugs in that haven't been fixed.
3:55 The Legend of Dad Kel? lol
I beat the original on pc now I'm going for the double on xbox, I love this game so much
I wouldn't be surprised if we see more of Amalur someday.
Loved playing this on PS3
I'm still surprised they were allowed to have the mass effect armor in the remaster.

"Here's mod support!"

This game is absolutely amazing for real
Awesome video! Totally enjoying this game it’s awesome! Over 100 hrs on ps4 pro np at all. 👹🤺
ooo...This is one of the MANY games I miss from the PS3.
Omg Ive been waiting for you guys to make. Video on this for so many years so many in fact I already have Prismere armor
To be honest, I didn't expect mojo to do a highlight for this game but... I'm glad it did. Btw it's on sale in the Nintendo eShop
This game is super underrated so so good one of my favorite games of all time
I did so well in my first playthrough never dying once, but I got cocky on my second playthrough and ran into red class enemies which means they are 4 levels higher than your character. Didn't stand a chance, but I did get the Out Of Your League trophy for taking out one of them. So on my current game I'm taking it easy. I remember on ps3 that you couldn't go to new areas in the game until you have reached a certain level. Now you can go wherever you like.
I honestly didn’t know there was DLC for the Game
I think might/sorcery is the coolest points combo
I just learned about this game because it was free for PS+ and I'm confused as to why this game hasn't become a big series like elder scrolls
I also play it when it first came out and I really enjoyed it
It was an incredible game
Played through it twice. Great game.
Also important to know is that unfortunately they did not improve the loading screens. It's a great game, but the loading is tedious. It would be as bad if you weren't required to go in and out of building to fullfill quests.
Loading takes me a few seconds or maybe 10 seconds at large areas
@@youseftjj9741 Very possible there was an update by now
I greatly disagree with you on number three as a finesse player I am constantly getting fear meant for warriors and sorcery and I don't have points on any other spec and it very frustrating getting high lvl gear for warriors that I cannot equip
What this video should've added was that you get great gear no matter what your class is, as you can use most of it to salvage for great blacksmithing components that CAN be used for your class. You might still need a core piece, but it usually provides everything else for some type of armor or weapon you're using. For instance, salvaging a might class based weapon like the hammer, will also provide you with a shaft for a sorcerer class staff. There's many cases where weapons and armor overlap with other weapons and armor of other classes.
There is a third dlc out now too. Just keeps getting better 😍
Is the crafting still broken?
yeah but they still haven't fix the fps drop and the re-occuring crash in pc
What do I do if templar jorielle thinks I've already talked to her and won't let me continue the main story
I want to play it on the PS4, but when i saw the review of IGN about it i decided to play the orignal on the PS3. Sadly i could’ve been a great to play it on the time of its release.
I have know it well enough because Ellen from outside xtra
The most important thing to know is that you will hit the level cap WAY before the end of the game, unless you mod. This makes combat really unrewarding.
To be honest... I kinda went to the end boss and I was severely underleveled.
@@DynoSkrimisher I did all the side quests. I get that loot still drops, but not having new skills to improve or look forward to really makes every fight feel like something I just want to skip past.
or they should just increase the level cap.
Oh boy i have news for you
I'm wondering if it's worth buying the remake, i have the original game.
Maybe the performance is better cause I was thinking the same thing
first time playing it since its free to download with PS plus until December 2021
Criminally underrated
they still need to fix the bug that causes it to crash every 30 min
What bugs this....never happened to me on the original xbox 360 version and it's never happened on the remastered PS4 pro version either.....
@@JayUk94 i think he might be talking about the pc version
That is simply a feel-good RPG. Love it
didnt even know cant wait to play it again
I’m already a Level 6 Wayfarer. Having a whale of a time.
What fable should've been nbs.
I love this game was real good
It's best in my opinion to get lots of persuasion and detection for extra loot that can help in early and late game if your going for full armor sets
Can you do comic book origin of Marvel's Molecule Man?
Comicsexplain did that and so did Dopespill.
WatchMojo did a video on Reckoning, a lost relic of a video game???!!!
This better blow up
I really wish that the THQ company remakes the Punisher PS2 in the spiderman PS4 games universe that will be awesome.
I would love that! Really could use a new Punisher game
@@awesomesauce5974 hell yeah they should have made a punisher luke cage jessica jones iron fist daredevil defenders game already since the tv shows came out a while ago all these games are even more connected plus agents of shield and agent carter game.
This game,is,awesome and I still have it to this day in the original state ❤
Is this game exciting and worth playing? If so then where can I find it?
It's not worth 39.99 wait for it to sale
Ps3, x-box 360, pc, ps4, X-box one, and Steam.
@@hyperscion5749 I Disagree
Its $20 on Amazon right now
It makes no sense that this game isn't on Switch nor to my knowledge is coming to Switch, I'd totally pick up a copy for my Switch.
ikr i was shock too since there is no insane graphical upgrades was done.
then again i heard the original was struggle on ps3& xbox360 even i play the remaster fps still drop with high end pc and base ps4 face this issues. last night i encounter first crash on ps4.🤦♂️
not sure how it will run on the switch since this game still not well optimise on all platform
Especially if MK11 and skyrim can be played in the switch KOA doesn't make sense why it is not on it
Check again, it is coming to Switch. A trailer was released for it last month
@@prinzez6559 check out KOAR switch trailer, its coming
The original one was so fucking good damnnnnn, I was hoping for a bit better graphics in the remastered version tho
This game is god tier, dont sleep on it
Well I just got it and it is a very good game I really like it and I'm from Tijuana México
It’s funny because I started playing today lol
Have the game on PS4 and it's a broken mess. Keeps crashing while doing quest and still waiting for an update to fix it. So anyone planning on getting it I advise that you wait. Unless you're playing on PC then it should be fixed by now.
Well I play it on ps4 too and it’s fine
freyacrescent13 I’ve played over 100 hrs of play time on my ps4 pro Np at all. Totally enjoying this game!
It plays well on the Nintendo switch and it is less than 13gbs.
I remember the time i played this game on my crappy laptop ... Finish the game on 15 fps hahahaha those days
watch mojo ur videos are always right about that 10 min. mark. Got to make that $ from ur ad revenus am i right or what? U r the john hancock and dream cast guy of top ten lists
Completed it like 3 times in 2012
this game was awesome but I stopped playing in the middle of it because of a vampire that bit me and I was constantly losing health troughout the rest of the game, which turned it into a very frustrating experience. If that was fixed, I might go on and buy the remaster
There’s a potion that fixes that ….
If you like this game play Dragons Dogma 💯 2nd one is in development now
The announcement is in 5 hours!
this is one those cult classics that everyone almost forgot about and also one of the many cases EA destroyed a game and it's studio because they wanted to promoted a more traditional option of their portfolio
Kingdom of Amalur released almost alongside with Mass Effect 3, but EA shoved the marketing for the game, this could have been a Skyrim-esk contender if had more audience, I'm really passionate for this game, It's dated and all, but still is a lot of fun
Also fuck EA
This game is getting a new DLC! LOL ohhh i cant wait..
not much is known??? it's a 5 hour dlc what's to know?
sounds like an AD video
IT IS !
At least its for a good game.
Time to enter the fray again
You don’t think The Witcher 3 got its ideas from it.?
The places of power in W3 are down right a copy of the blessing stones in KoA
@@zensoredparagonbytes3985 quite nearly true
@@duandutoit8393 well not an exact copy but close enough
When you have subbots
Only 1 thing, this version sucks. I prefer play the original game, looks the same. Even the loading times are the same
i love the original game but that last battle with the final boss was annoying .
I'm enjoying it
Nice add
The clips are straight only from the first two areas lol
They don't want to spoil it
@@thephoenix4363 ...trust me, the OP seems the sort if they showed the latter levels, he/she would be going SpOiLeRs!1!
(Gasps)Ooh.
#1- It's Ellen approved
Reason I downloaded the original 😆
Why do I need to know 🤔
Cool
I got and played this game after I had played elder scrolls V, and I never really gave the game a chance. I always compared it to Elder Scrolls and branded it as a copycat, but I'm glad that they are re-releasing it so I can give this game another chance, and actually play it.
Reminds me of WOW
Hopefully this hits the Switch
Its coming to the switch, trailer was uploaded to youtube last month
This game will be lit
Honorable mention: 38 Studios, original developer of Kings of Amalur, was owned by former baseball pitcher Curt Schilling.
and he fucked over his employees and the State of Rhode Island in the process. Guy had a great thing going and he ruined it
#1
Critical bugs from the original game (e.g. black map, fast travel lock in Naros etc...) are still in the game. -.-
Also, number 6 is a straight lie. Several tests and players confirm WORSE performance on modern systems in some areas!
I can't stress this enough, I just purchased the game and for some reason i can't play it for more than 5 minutes without crashing, I've got over 100 saves from the intro 30 minutes alone, I love this game but thq Nordic has not fixed any of the bugs
