What are you trying to say here? You don't think it will be good? Why?
I think every Mass Effect fan will download the demo, but still wont buy the full game. This promo will help ME.

Just watched a video. Looks like Fable O_O
These cross promotions are really dumb. But fuck me if that armor doesn't look awesome.

I think it's actually Mass Effect fans play both and ignore the people that say Mass Effect isn't a RPG.Until Mass Effect fans play KOAR and realize it's actually a better RPG than Mass Effect has become.

No but it will be on Steam which is an improvement over other EA games. As long as there's no forced Origin support I'll buy it.
Also screw mass effect, this is the actual RPG I'm looking forward to.
Thanks for those videos, I've seen one or two of them but I will watch the rest of them.I'm not saying that Mass Effect is not an RPG, though some of the elements have been diluted, it still qualifies, and who knows maybe Bioware brought back some of the depth but I'll need to get my hands on it before I make any real judgements.
For anyone who has not been paying attention to Reckoning here are some videos you can watch if you'd like.

Signing in to your Origin account simply registers that youve unlocked the Reckoning & Mass Effect 3 Crossover items, then when you get your full copy of Reckoning and Mass Effect 3, log in again and the items will appear in-game.
Wow, now that's how you do a promotion. I can definitely get behind free unlocks by simply playing demos. Hopefully this trend catches on.
The Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning demo features the introduction to the game, allowing players to experience the game’s Tutorial Mode and a portion of its large, open world. Players will create and customize their hero and drop right into the action. Once players master the basics, they will have 45 minutes to explore the vast world of Amalur and begin to embark upon a quest that could redefine their character’s destiny forever.

Ahh found a description of what the demo fo Kingdoms of amalur demo will contain interms of game content.
So being able to play through the tutorial, and then getting 45 minutes to explore the open world seems like a cool deal to me. I think it's got to be really difficult to show off a game like this thats supposed to take hundereds of hours to play through in a demo, but this seems like a good way of doing it.
This'll be annoying seeing how I'll be buying Reckoning on the PS3 and ME3 on 360.
Is Amalur really coming to Steam?
Any ETA on ME3 demo then? You would think they will release it close to when Reckoning ships.
Is Amalur really coming to Steam?
Someone here said Schilling said yes. They will not ignore the biggest market on PC. It is also an EA Partners game, though that didn't stop Crysis 2 from being removed.
I would at the very least expect being forced to run your EA account similar to Alice. If not require Origin outright.

Crysis 2 was actually fully funded and published by EA, which is a bit different than most EA Partners games.

Here's the video preview from this month's Qore.
First time I've seen PS3 footage for it. Looks pretty awesome if you ask me.
Happy we're getting a demo. Cross-promotions of this kind are kinda dumb, but well, at least Felicia Day is not involved.
I think every Mass Effect fan will download the demo, but still wont buy the full game. This promo will help ME.
Does the 45 minute demo limit mean that you can play it as many times as you want but only for 45 minutes at a time and you have to start over each time?
“Confident” Twist of Fate Card
You unlock the “Confident” Twist of Fate Card by installing the Reckoning demo and linking your Origin account within the demo.
Infernal Helm
You unlock the Infernal Helm after completing the Reckoning Mode Tutorial in the Reckoning demo.
Twinned Souls Chakram
You unlock the Twinned Souls Chakram by installed the Reckoning demo and linking your Origin account within the demo.
For all Reckoning demo items, a pop up will appear to let you know you’ve unlocked each item and that it is available for use.
*snerk* That's already in quite a few of the older EA games on steam (in limited form), so good luck with that.
