Ever since I first heard about Kingdoms of Amalur I felt like I was watching a car crash in slow motion. A huge, expensive game with a bunch of recognizable names but without any soul. It seems like what a 16 year old WoW/Fablo/Oblivion fan would make by just trying to jam them all together, then paying RA Salvatore and Todd McFarlane to work on it. And that’s pretty much what it is since the company is founded by a super wealthy gamer/baseball player. It’s mostly sad because I like all those things too, and fantasy games in general, but I feel like they just wasted millions of dollars and developer time doing a coloring book when they could have been taking a risk.
