Small additions to my Kingdoms of Amalur Review

After playing the game a little more I completed the Fatemasters questline if that's what it is in the first major zone, and I realized the story really isn't that bad, they execute the idea of having a big enemy that you see often and annoys you and makes you want to get to that big fight between you and the boss even quicker, they've done this twice in the 10-20 or so hours I've put into the game, both on the same quest line, and maybe it's just me, but I like the "chase" feel of a story where, as I said before, you see your enemy, but they keep escaping, and they're the most insufferable people in the world, so I enjoyed that faction questline, and now im king of fate I guess, I don't know, I skipped most of the dialogue because it isn't that great and I'm an impatient bastard.

Kingdoms of Amalur is really suprising me, although outside the faction quests it is starting to get a little dull, but I'm unlocking new abilties which refresh the whole dull feel, combat is awesome, I wish that craftable items weren't so hard to upgrade, item system is kinda annoying.

2012 Expectations

Ahh 2012, another year waiting for THQ to announce Homeworld 3, will it happen? There's a chance, they've been hinting at a big RTS game annoucement this year, so im crossing my fingers for the return of my beloved franchise.

Blizzard continues to be the catalyst of my anger with the lack of Diablo 3 release dates, I don't know if it's just me but I don't pre-order games unless I see a price / release date on Amazon, waiting for that collector's edition.

After trying out X3 Terran Conflict I released the controls were not what I was looking for in a space sim, destroying my hopes for X Rebirth which I thought were going to renew my hope in the Space Sim genre, but we still have time to see, I stilll am holding a grudge agasin't microsoft for destroying Digital Anvil.

Metroid Prime 4, hah... only reason I would buy a Wii U, but they won't make one, let alone make it a PC port, although Sonic Generations was a PC port, not very good, but I liked what I've played of it so far.

And Guild Wars 2, will you suck me into the MMO scene again like WoW did on release? I'm not getting back the 200 days of game time I have on that over the course of 6 years, I experienced it all, and I still follow that game just because of the impact its had on me. I have high hopes for GW2 and is easily my most anticapted game of 2012, and from watching what I've seen of Totalbiscuit's gameplay of it, it looks really good, though I'm a little skeptical of the whole "random events" thing, but I'm willing to try it out. Kingdoms of Amalur? Maybe, being the RPG nut I am.

EA is going down the toliet, and I never liked Activision to begin with, hated them more when they closed down Bizzare Studios, god is Blur a fun game. EA had a place in my heart once, maybe they can renew it.

Greetings

I'd like to start off with first saying that you should ignore my review for WoW which I scored a 10, which right now, I feel that to be completely untrue, I posted that a long time ago, as you can see, when I was much more...eh... Immature to say the least, I've returned to become a contribution to gaming since it is my favourite hobby of all time, just to give you an idea of the games I play ill give you my top 5 games of 2011 and of all time right here:

Top 5 Games of 2011:

5.5: Battlefield 3 would be in my top 5 if my Internet didn't refuse to agree with the game's multiplayer servers, so that technical issue has lost my interest in the game, along with EA's terrible customer service.

5. To the Moon

4. The Witcher 2

3. Magicka

2. Terraria

1. Skyrim

Top 5 Games of all time:

5.5: Blur -I know, I know, it's more like top 6, but this game didn't get enough recognition and its developer was shut down, the EXACT situation happened to my favourite game of all time below, this is why I had to include it here.

5. Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit

4. Skyrim

3. Terraria -I dont know why I switched them between lists, don't question it, haha. :)

2. Homeworld 1 / 2 -It would be unfair for the 3rd place winner if I didn't combine them.
