"It's Like a Single Player WoW or Skyrim for Beginners" says Yahtzee

[oversoul53]

in this week's Zero Punctuation Yahtzee complains about too many renascence RPGs, talks about how easy this game is and compares it to other games of it's ilk.

The Escapist : Video Galleries : Zero Punctuation : Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

also, I should show my mom this review as this game has been her latest obsession. lol

I love Yahtzee's videos. It doesn't matter if he's bashing a game I like into the ground (which is what he does for pretty much every game), I'll still laugh.

I thought this review was amazingly positive---not nearly as negative as most of his stuff...

WoW sucks donkey balls. This ain't WoW.

This. Normally he is DEAD against everything... this time he wavered a lot, though you do have to ignore the last sentence. And this game is now officially called Kingdoms of Alamo.

Best...review of KoA...ever!!! This was simply hilarious! I never laughed so hard in my life! xD I kinda feel eeeeeh...about the baby's first Skyrim thing though because imho the combat in Skyrim is atrocious! Yes, making it "realistic" is cool and all but I felt like I was just going around flailing my arms everywhere like a total psychopath monkey with a chainsaw...then again that was sorta fun

That was my favorite part!

I don't understand how reckoning is babies first skyrim since the last 2 main bosses (the one that summons niskaru and drops the full armor set and the other Mage like guy I can't think of their names) on reckoning are way harder then anything you will face on the hardest difficulty on skyrim and those bosses were still pretty easy. I would know I beat both games on the hardest difficulty.

He actually seemed like he enjoyed it, just in typical Yahtzee style he cant come out and say that :P

I don't see how this game is like either of those in any way, the only games like it I can think of are the Dragon Age games, hell even Alpha Protocol is closer in game play style then those two.
