Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning, Fatesworn DLC for PS4 played on PS5.

Played this game to 100% on PS3 originally. Was fun to play it again completely, and then get a bit more story beyond the original release with this DLC.

I have always felt this was an under-appreciated action rpg with a lot of great lore, fun characters, and varying environments.

The world and lore was created by R.A. Salvatore (fantasy writer), art sonehow directed by Todd McFarlane (Spawn creator), and originally funded by Curt Schilling (baseball player), and then at one point the IP was owned by the State of Rhode Island.

So basically you're getting a story in and out of the game Ha Ha. It was wild to watch this over the years come back to life with a re-release.

Note: Apparently lemmy can't handle large pics. Had to shrink it. So it gets potato quality like my previous Vita screenshots.

Day negative 6? Interesting.

Does that mean this was actually posted last Friday?

What the hell, I don't recognise this game at all. Neither this image, the name nor any other image or the trailer on Steam, but apparently I own the game on there... I've never been so confused about and at a complete loss of memory of something I have purchased.

I played the game and loved it and still don't know what the hell this is.

The DLC I guess? Didn't realize it had any tbh.

The original release had 2 DLC's. This is the re-release called Re-Reckoning, which inherently included the original 2 DLC's, amd then a bit later they did a new DLC called Faresworn that the original release never had. This is from that most recent DLC story and area.

I've played this game to 100% both on the original release, and this re-release.

It's one of my favorite action rpg's out there. It's not special. It never did anything new, really. It originally released around the same time as Skyrim and got forgotten. I still have always felt this game is better and more fun than people give credit for. It's huge, has tons to do, has bright colorful biomes, goofy characters, silly stories, cool effects, and is just such a charming thing.

Some of my love for it is that it's just a simple fun accessible action rpg. Some is I genuinely liked the stories. Some of it I liked how cliche and cheesy it was at times. And back when it first released, some of it was just nice to see some actual color compared to Skyrim back then, which I was also playing.

This was the DLC they made for the rerelease right? How is it? I had never played any of the DLC back in the day, but I bought the rerelease on steam

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

I've been stuck on the DLC for a long time now, not because of difficulty, but because I just don't find it very interesting. Hoping to force my way through it one of these days.

It honestly is a large DLC that overstays its welcome. I know a lot of people think this game is kind of meh to begin with, but if someone enjoyed the original game and story, I think they'll like the DLC because it has some more closure on the story and it does introduce some neat new gameplay mechanics.

The issue is you gotta really stick with it. It starts out fun to explore a new area, and then eventually you reach this point where it becomes a bit frustrating, but as you get through it, some stuff unlocks and it becomes really cool gameplay-wise. Also there's a middle semi-grindy part where it felt like the difficulty got unfair, but after some unlocks involved in the grindy pary it got fun again and really became something else.

I think it could have been done a bit better, but overall as a fan of the original game, I enjoyed myself. You just unfortunately gotta push through to the end to get past this kind of middle part that drags.

There's lots of fun and ridiculous characters too. I think they did a great job having it really feel like it fits the goofy theme of the game world even though it wasn't the original team.

Despite loving the genre overall, I bounced off KoA multiple times. Maybe it's time to give it yet another go. I just wasn't in the mood for MMORPGs - which the IP should have become iirc -, I guess.
