I'm surprised you gave this game an eight, Phil. Judging solely this podcast (as I haven't had the chance to try the game myself), it seems the negatives outweigh the positives. Maybe a seven (and a half) would be more appropriate?...

Interesting podcast nonetheless, especially the last ten minutes.

I have an unhealthy infatuation with Dark Souls - it's extremely difficult yet extremely rewarding. I eat, sleep, and breathe this game. More Dark Souls podcasts!

Great game! I'll be keeping an eye on the MMO.

I thought I would pick up KOA as a kind of fill-in game until ME3 comes out next month. To my surprise, this game rocks!! The combat is simply amazing, and the monsters are varied and a blast to battle. The game looks beautiful also. I now find myself thinking of KOA and what surprises the story, lore and quests have in store. I would rate it a solid 9.25 Anyone who loves rpg's or action games should give it a try. The demo didn't do this game justice.

@Adam Biessener:

Yeah, I guess they haven't shown much of it yet. They've talked about it though, how it's supposed to take place in the Mists I think, and they said that victories in the PvP realm will affect the PvE world more than it did in GW1 (all it did there was unlock access to the endgame dungeons if you had "favor").

I seem to remember you not being a huge fan of GW1, so it makes me even more excited for GW2 that you have a good opinion of it so far.

And thanks for replying to my comment!

Reckoning is a great game. The art style is different from any other action RPG. Similar to Fable but has its own taste. The gameplay is solid. Combat is fluid and very fun to try out different abilities and classes. The world is very unique and fun to explore.

Good episode. Too bad that not everything went as planned. As for the game, I only played the demo once and it was alright but then again, this is not my type of game. I think that if anything were to keep my interest longer than Oblivion did (about 10 mins after the tutorial) it would be the combat system. The depth of weapon choices ad the upgrading system seems pretty interesting. But I no that my brother's extremely hyped for it and he's gonna pick it up sometime next week when he gets paid from BB&B so I'll get to see it when he plays it. But my time will probably be spent playing the J&D HD Collection. It seems like I could platinum all 3 in one playthrough so that'll be what I'll be trying to do whenever I go home for the weekend (as well as enjoying my favorite game franchise in better looking graphics). Last point: as I'm sure you've noticed, next episode is #100. I already asked the question on the article about the top 10 replay episodes but Reiner misunderstood my question. Will you be doing an article similar to the "Top 10 Replay episodes" one but instead with GI Show episodes or at least something in the same vein? It would be cool

I'm not sure if I wanna go and pick this up just yet. Not that I dont have the money, but I have a feeling that I won't put much time into it after reading the reviews and playing the demo. I could be wrong though, I expected to be disappointed by dark souls, and now I've beaten it twice after 200 hundred hours.

Chakram in the game rock, was going to be a rogue and decided to use all the fate weapons I got from per-ordering upon trying the Chakram I instantly these are the weapons I want, and started all over to be a mage and not a rogue, I have Chakram in main and dagger in secondly so I can do stealth kills if I want, or just wreck face with the Chakram

Same here...that hour long video was the deciding factor for me.

I like this game a lot. Dark Souls is also awesome...but you can't really compare the two..very different games in play style. As I said I am enjoying it quite a bit.

@Shampoo Lord:

Phil IS the person in this podcast talking about this game (his review). The other person is another member of the GI staff. I have played this game and love it as well (I also have the same complaints as well). Great game with a few flaws.
