Played Kingdoms of Amalur Demo over the weekend. (Fable 4 without the comedy anyone!) Due to playing it I unlocked on load up, a heap of unlocks for the game when purchased and an armour unlock for Mass Effect 3. Great idea EA. Thats promotion for you! |

Do not compare Amalur to that steaming turd that is Fable. Amalur will be fun, Fable is not fun (except the first). |

The controls reminded me of Fable, one button mallee-one button magic-one button long ranged attack. Very much the same! |

Except the combat is much more fun and the animation is actually good. |

One of the things I loved about Amalur was the animations. Much better than the standard dry animations in most games. |

On one of those amalur making of videos one of the devs was saying that they did their very best to make the animations look awesome. If you freeze any of the animations on any frame they said you would very likely get a strong pose type of picture on your character. |

Plus it helps that Amalur is God of War mix with Oblivion, so combat was a focus as much as the RPG elements. Nothing against you bigpav53 but I've notice that people look at the stylised graphics, think about Fable (like the Edge magazine) then note that it plays the story straight with limited to no comedic charm as if its a bad thing. Charm is great in a game but Fable's been clinching to that for years hoping to justify itself. But on with demo bonuses. I think they're great. Helps promote a publishers less known games and gives the consumer something for their troubles. |

Fable had the charm going for a while, but Lionhead's brand of charm got pretty tiresome, it was all juvenile fart jokes. |

I am not saying that Fable was a great game or graphically the game seems similar. I am actually enjoying Fable 2 at the moment. What I meant was that the gameplay to me has a very similar feel. The controls are identical to the same buttons for the same commands. I am not saying it will be the same just felt very familiar. I hope the combat has more depth. I actually started the thread not to compare the games just to state that the bonuses as in Mass Effect 3 armor was an excellent idea. I hope we see more of this from publishers!

Although it was a rehash of their Mass Effect 2/Dragon Age: Origins cross over thing, I do agree that it's a good idea. It allows them to promote 2 games with one... stone... |
