Bound by Flame - RPG - May 9 2014

Im looking forward to this game, this resembles witcher and dragon age in so many aspects like having weight in your actions.. Hoping this game would be as good as it's advertised..
Here's a gameplay trailer

This seems exactly like Witcher 2 tbh, not saying its a bad thing

Never heard of the developers. Do they have any decent game to their credit?

AFAIK, I guess not

several gameplay videos are also on YT

Why does the UI look too much like Witcher 2 copy ? Regardless, Im still keeping my hopes up for this game.. Its been a long time since i have tasted a good RPG

A

Looks amazing..... combat seems pretty good

I'll decide after reading some reviews and watching gameplay videos.

I'm waiting only for Fallout 4 in RPG genre :meditate:

let me know if you find the NPC and character design interactive and not as dumb as in Amalur

Combat: Reminds me of Kingdom of Amalur

the protagonist looks like Mass Effect hero

R

im waiting for this one myself. Lets see if we have anything to feed our love towards RPG with this one. Its been some time that I got my hands on a good RPG game.

That's why i'm really worried. Not because combat of Amalur sucked, but because almost everything else did

It didnt sucked at all.
In fact I find it impressive, only camera issues made combat a bit difficult for range heroes.
The only combat system I like more than this game's is of Witcher

^^You mean Witcher 2? Coz Witcher 1 combat system was BAD.

witcher 1 was bad??? really?? It was just different from the lot and the most amazing new combat gameplay that I played

Bad? It was so simple and effective once you get the hang of it.

All was dependent on your timing, unlike other games where you can just keep clicking while your eyes closed.

LOL, I never said Witcher 1 was bad. In fact it's one of my all time favs. See my avatar? It's Siegfried of the Order of the Flaming Rose from Witcher 1. I just felt that the combat was really difficult to get into but of course like [MENTION=89186]Piyush[/MENTION] said, once you get used to it, you'd come to realize it's merits which is true in the case of almost every game. RE4 anyone? IMO Witcher 1 didn't cater to a wide audience whereas Witcher 2 did. That's why I think Witcher 2 was a better game overall.

^^Agreed with W2 was better overall than W1.

You said witcher 1 combat was bad.. And I responded to the same because the combat was not bad it was different.
Though I missed the word "combat" in my opening sentence, the emphasis was on combat itself

BTW, I dint like witcher 2 as I couldnt stand the thought of the superbly done combat style being redone to make it similar to the dozens of game we have in hack and slash category. And by that, they got few things wrong (to start with the combat wasnt fluent when the game released).

Witcher 1 music was one of the best and memorable.. especially the river of life soundtrack

Im a huge soundtrack and story fan..
The most important part that an RPG must have for me is
1) Excellent story
2) Excellent music

I can make do with mediocre graphics and gameplay but ruining those two will be unforgivable
Bound by Flame.. DONT F**K It UP

The Point n Click combat/movement system doesn't appeal to a mass audience, I guess that's why it was redone in TW2 and by the looks of it TW3 is heading the same way as well , although the developers have promised a more polished and refined combat experience this time. Just hoping TW3 turns out to be the best RPG ever. :-D

BTW I think we're going off-topic here.

Yeah agreed, the soundtrack was truly mesmerizing.

at that time, it was really outstanding, now if i go to play witcher 1, hmm...the combat "looks" very funny. Expectations actually.

Cant agree with amalur story, NPC, characterization. Mario had better characters.

I agree, amalur has really really inferior charecter designs

The game is good, I won't compare it to Skyrim, DA or Witcher. This game is more like First Templar, Cursed Crusade, but better than them. Surprisingly the controls are great, and the optimization is better than average.

The combat is really good, you need to get used to, but after a while it's really fun, you sometimes need to change your combat styles for certain enemies this is where it gets interesting. The graphics are good also, it's not great but it's also not that crappy.

I would give it 7.5/10.

The Inventory is a Single Long Sword , 2 Blades and a Bow.You can craft all the Weapons and the Body Armour and improve them as well. There are 3 types of skills trees until now as I am still in Level 3 and the character progression & Crafting is looking like taken from Skyrim. You will all have kinds of potions which can be craft able as well or you avail them when you do certain missions.

Certain enemies require certain type of sword or bow fighting or even setting a trap before hand. For eg: Melee enemies require sword or blade fighting but Ranged enemies require Bow fighting or a quick blade fighting stealthily.

Yes you can even fight in Stealth Mode but you can kill only one enemy when there are more than one its worst option.

Use MSI afterburner or other software to take screenshots.

Even steam has its' own screenshot hotkey.

Reviews are pretty damn bad for this game.

I take it back,

I will play this game , bad story, repetitive quests, useless companions, lame dialogues and see this...

"you’re given a basic set of weapons and items. Your main sword is called “Default Sword.” Couldn’t it have been called “Iron Sword,” “Rusty Sword,”

Seriously ?? DeeeFaaoolt SWORD?!! What the f**K?

but

hey When i read reviews about skyrim online, i think this new developers deserve a little praise for the effort.

The combat is praised everywhere. I will play it.
