The art style and name (Especially the name) will throw people off. IMO they should have done a more gritty art style and just picked the name as "Amalur" and it would do better. Game does look pretty good gameplay/story wise though.

Lol. It doesn't bother me really. Have a beefy level 1 character and eventually have to find/smith your own gear.



I believe it in itself was suppose to be the actual MMO but they turned that into a RPG which i'm assuming they are making the MMO from the ground up, besides the lore and some characters.

Amazon is definitely best preorder in this case though

Yeah with the dousing rod lol. I think i'll keep my pre-order from Amazon.

It does have that MMO look to it, which won't help it. A shame. Good games always have problems with sales for such trivial things as art style and game names.

Yeah that's why I think this was suppose to be the MMO and they even built the game engine. I can't really judge too much myself since most video footage is probably Alpha or pre-alpha. The looks to me wouldn't matter too much, as long as gameplay and of the like are great.

I don't mind the way it looks, gives it character

Yeah, me too. Some of scenery is beautiful and detailed.

Different art styles for different games. I think they're using this style so it transitions to an MMO easily

(my thoughts)

I was thinking they left it as is instead of going over it all and changing up the look and "wasting time" in way to do it. If the game and MMO have a more of a connection then referencing the game then yeah I do agree it would be an easy transition.
