    Yeah it's definitely one to play on the hardest setting alright.

    Thought the demo was worryingly easy. The troll part required no finesse at all - just pressed the attack button until it died.
    Well in fairness, up until you enter the main world is a tutorial, so it's meant to be easy. But outside I has a bit of trouble with combat until I found a hammer and then tore through everything. So hopefully they'll ramp up the difficulty instead of allowing you to be a hammer weilding god 10 minutes into the game.

    Don't want to spoil it by watching that stream. I felt the combat was very item related regards to how easy killing sh*t was, I remember struggling against the Legion with my starter gear and really having to think about how to fight. I just love the **** tons of loot im a sucker for that stuff.

    When I saw the title of this game on steam, I instinctly dismissed it. Now word of mouth has me interested in it

    It's very under the radar in terms of coverage until this past week imo. I never heard of it at all and installed the demo for a look see. If your into loot gathering and such it's a fun game!

    The name is very off-putting alright. Maybe 'Reckoning' or 'Amalur' would have been better.

    Anyway, will be picking this up on Friday based on the reviews I have read.

    So Curt Schilling who's the guy who owns 38 Studios who are the developers of this was on Day[9] last night via a Skype call and they're also planning an MMO, so it seems that with Salvatore's help, they're creating an entirely new world in Amalur and the names will probably make more sense when there are more titles :)

    PC here - so long as some of the niggly little things (such as auto-running once you pass in/out of instanced zones), I'll be happy enough since the gameplay did seem quite enjoyable IMO. The storyline, from what the demo described, seems a bit bonkers but I'll just about get over that :D

    Didnt think of this. Was gonna get it on 360 but ill get it on the PC now for sure. Is there any other peripheral needed other than a 360 control and a USB port?

    Not sure about the wired joypad, but i don't think you can just connect up the standard joypad (might be wrong). I think you need a certain connection. I use the wireless receiver, and it works perfectly.

    The wired Xbox joypad is just plug and play for me anyway.

    I only bought it recently, don't know how I managed without it.

    Might check the prices in town for the pc, but can't see it being any cheaper than on G2Play (€34.99). Would like to not have to download it though.

    Yea, as far as I know it's one of those "anti-second-hand-sales" DLCs AFAIK

    Replayed the Demo last night (first demo I've played through 5 times in a long while) - tempted now to pick it up.

    Can anyone who gets the PS3 version let us know if the graphical glitches from the demo have been fixed (specifically the large black hole that appears when you leave the Inn)? Thanks.

    There is mass effect armor and 7 quests but when I went into DLC there are three items at 270 (I know its **** all) each. One for finesse one for magic and one for brute.
    Had I of known I might of bought some points but they didnt bother their holes telling anyone about it in the adverts/reviews for it.

    They're the pre-order bonuses, aren't they?

    Ah I pre-ordered from gamestop thats the problem :(

    Still I am really enjoying the game all the bugs I noticed in the Demo are gone, construction, potions and Gem making are fun enough and my Commander Shepard armor looks great. Im so happy my Girlfriends going out of town today :D
