The Guildmasters

Hi all,

I decided to get my playstation+ membership back again and much to my amazement they were giving away Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, i’ve been wanting to play this game for some time since trying the demo.  It is a huge game but it is also a huge download, massive in fact, 14 Gigs so it took a good few hours to download and install but it was most definitely worth it.

Will be going for the platinum for this game so i’ll be on it a while, it has a mixture of several other games, most noticeable is a little of Fable, Dishonored, Morrowind as well as a few others, it’s not a copy of any of these games, it’s just that while playing it, it reminds you of these games depending on what your doing at any specific time.  You’ve got a main quest with a ton of side quests.  You can have a choice of several types of play, mage, thief, scout, warrior etc…you can play it stealthily or head on or a mixture of the two, it’s entirely up to you.

You can also change your skills at different points in the game which is also cool, personally I would rather play through the whole game with each choice rather than switch half way through. You have the fast travel ability once you have visited a place once which is very handy as many side quests require you to revisit certain areas.  I’m not going to give away any spoilers but if you like either of the above mentioned games you really should give this one a go, try the demo at least although the demo doesn’t do it justice. If you try the game you will know within half an hour if it’s for you or not, very addictive.

Keep an eye on my facebook account for live trophy updates and how i’m doing.

Hi all,

Well i’ve been caught up playing AC 3 for the last week so I apologize for not writing anything here. That is seriously how good this game is, really. If any of you loved Skyrim, I mean, who didn’t? Then you will love this game too, lets put it this way, it’s like Assassins Creed in skyrim, only bigger, much bigger.

It’s such an open world, it was three days before I came across a part where I couldn’t access due to the edge of the map, crazy huge this game is. So much to do, the main story is great but the side quests are so many, and it doesn’t get boring, it makes you want to complete everything. Graphics are amazing but there are a few glitches that can be forgiven.

They say you can platinum this game in around 60 hrs, to be honest, if you were playing it properly, investigating everything and enjoying the playtime, you could spend a few weeks on this without getting the platinum. I’m one week into this game and i’ve got around 70% but there are a few hard trophies, and a couple of time consuming ones, so you may as well do what I did, simply enjoy the game, do everything, and eventually that platinum will pop.

Last night I had a go on the multiplayer for a couple of hours and that puts yet another whole new aspect to the game, very enjoyable and very similar to Assassins Creed: Revelations. There is a good tutorial that I recommend playing before actually going into a match, and I see me playing multiplayer for a good couple of weeks, maybe longer. I will also play this game through again, it’s that good.

I really can’t say too much more without giving spoilers away, and believe me, I sooo want to tell more about this game, just go get it, rent it, buy it and play it, you won’t regret it, got to give it a 5 out of 5, nothing bad about it, seriously, you’ll love it too.

Hi all,

Yes it finally arrived in the mail today, and what did I do? You’ll never guess so i’ll tell you, I put it in my system and loaded that baby up didn’t I??? Of course I did. Once over the initial shock that I actually had it in my possession, I started to play, and what can I tell you? Well I can’t put it into words really, you know when you see something for the first time and your genuine reaction is “woooouuw (long wow), that’s my reaction, but that reaction is pretty dull compared to what you feel inside, it’s an amazing game from the outset.

Firstly you notice how much better the graphics are, and no, there are no youtube vids out there that does this game justice as far as the graphics go. After the first initial part, the prologue or whatever it’s called, you end up taking a ship to Boston, no spoiler, it’s just where you go, takes about 70 days to get there by boat but when you get there, this first place is massive, I mean talk about open world, this is like never ending, I spent 2hrs exploring the area before performing the first task and didn’t see everything or come to a place that wasn’t accessible, it seemed like I could run or swim forever, eventually I had to turn back before I lost the initial marker for the first task.

I can see me writing a lot about this game over the coming days, there is so much to do, so many side quests and places to visit, it reminds me of something like Assassins Creed in Skyrim, it’s just huge. I’ve got to stop writing so I can play some more, I haven’t even started playing as Desmond Miles yet, lol.

Will update again tomorrow and over the weekend, hoping to make some videos of this one too.
