So damn hyped for this amazing looking game. Bought two copies of the limited edition.
I stand by my belief that this will be the Fable killer, and start of an all new mega-franchise.
...Wait, why does Amalur have an online pass?

Great promotion since I've never even heard of this game before, and I want that Mass Effect 3 armor and weapon.
This is a great example of marketing your game.
Do helmets come off during Mass Effect 3 conversations?
Yeah, I think that's the only thing I'm interested in knowing with this. Didn't even bother with the Dragon Age armor in ME2 because of that.
This will be a hard game to demo the complete experience. They will most likely show the intro section where you learn about combat, different weapons and the game's systems, then cut off when you get to the full open world area.
That said, the intro gives you a great taste of combat and should really hook you. Fun stuff.
...Wait, why does Amalur have an online pass?
Okay, so the 'online pass' is just a one-time-use code associated with a digital reward or content. In this case, it's a code that comes included with all XBox 360 and PS3 versions of Reckoning (either in the box for physical copies, or printed on the e-receipt for digital downloads), and is already built in to the PC game registration code. You redeem the code via your Origin (EA) account.
I have a strong sense that this game is going to bomb hard. That's a shame too because the combat looks really fantastic for an open world RPG like this.
In a world where Two Worlds can do well, I think this will find an audience ...especially with EA level marketing
do you mean zero marketing?
I think these cross promotions are super dumb but I'll take it over pre-order DLC.
To me it seems like a good approach. It is most likely that the number of people playing the demo will deffinitley increase. What is the reasoning behind saying that this specific marketing strategy is dumb? Do you think it is ineffient or something else is wrong with it?
This game better be awesome. I need it to be awesome.
Over the next few weeks, I'll be playing through Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning pretty much every day. I'll keep you up-to-date (perhaps a couple of times a week) as to my progress, how I'm feeling about what I'm seeing and doing, and more. All of that will culminate in a freshly written review before the game launches to the masses in early February, when I'll render my final verdict.
So the demo will be out on PC, probably on Origin, my question is this, will it be out on the same date in Europe?
I really think the ME3 tie in will be a major boost to the game's name recognition. The issue of course being that now that people are searching for it, they need to put out some actual advertising for it to keep it in people's minds.
I'm hoping for some TV ads.
