Shameless!

That's the word that I kept saying over and over while playing through the demo.

Everything is copied from another popular RPG and dumped into this game. The design, style and animation is copied from Fable and Torchlight. Looting system, sleeping cycles, pickpocketing and lock picking is all copied from Oblivion/Skyrim. I just could not bear the demo and immediately uninstalled it after seeing all this unoriginality and shameless emulation of other successful games.

Feel free to criticize my opinion.

Thanks! I looked it up and now I see the light! But, its still annoying how he keeps using the same concepts over and over wherever he works. He needs to develop some new ideas.

Like a decent combat system in a deep RPG?

I like how every "It copies this" topic names like 5 games plus each time. Like that has been done well so commonly before.


What the ♥♥♥♥ do you want it to do apart from take from the best and refine it or put its spin on it?

It has to fall within the guidelines of its genre.

Derp.

It's not that it copies, it's that it doesn't do anything original. "Reckoning" mode is a rehashed version of various "rage" modes you can get in most action RPGs. It barely adds anything to the combat. The tutorial and opening hour of the game make combat feel slow, clunky and weapons without any weight.

OP is justified in their argument; there is simply nothing original to make someone looking to buy $60 into a new IP, when better alternatives exist in droves.

I laughed pretty hard when I saw 'COME LOOT ME' ripples in the water a la Fable.

Those are all pretty recent RPGs. Those concepts existed long before even they were made.

Seriously, with the amount of medieval themed rpg out there what do expect to be new at this point? It's an extremely overused theme that hasn't been original since the 80s.
