Zero Punctuation: Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

Jinxsays...

Actually a good game if you can get over:
a)The lowest mouse sensitivity setting is high. The default setting is unplayable and the highest setting is what I imagine putting a camera in a blender is like. ie, you spin so fast everything merges together
b)The camera is indeed pretty awful. Targetting can often be a chore in combat.

But I enjoyed the rest of it. I hate WoW with a passion, but I didn't find the quests samey or boring. The game starts off relatively challenging, but it does begin to get quite easy once you start unlocking perks. I was also a roque type character and unlocked a bow attack that fired 7 arrows in a spread. Like him I found that the most effective use of this was like a shotgun on bigger enemies. 7 arrows all hitting together was enough to almost 1 shot even the largest enemies. Still, combat is fun. I'd say the lore is fairly good if not a little cliched in parts. 8/10. Try it after you are disappointed by Mass Effect 3 (you will be, don't worry).

What! You must not be a gamer then. The mouse controls are fine. It allows for intense combat. This game is the arcade version of Skyrim. >> ^Jinx:

The top rogue ability of launching 18 bombs works really well with the bow and arrow too. Enemy running at you, just step behind a bomb...

I hope you are sarcastic :3. I use a pretty low sensitivity because I play a lot of FPS games. Precision is more important that how many 360s you can do in a inch of mousemat. Ofc, precision isn't really important for KoA, but its still a pain having to use a sensitivity I am not used to simply because their control options aren't comprehensive enough. Not that KoA is alone in this, I am consistently amazed just how badly developers can fuck up their control schemes. Skyrim for instance had a bug that scaled y sensitivity based on your framerate... Then there is mouse acceleration that frequently can't be turned off without editing a config.txt somewhere. I actually pirate games just to look at the options menu.
