Yep. Remember this well. poo poo like this is what keeps the war going with their fans. Creates the divide and that sucks.

I still don't understand why they need new names. The idea of people rebelling against the company from within makes more sense when it's a group of people who were already on your roster, using the same ring names they'd already been using, and root things more in reality than this Bane bullshit.

Good call good call. I gotta lean into it more! I can get there. Now that my friend Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning is an actual person in this faction, I can be much more invested as a lover of video games.

Wow, looks like credible video game journalists IGN have already reviewed Mercedes Martinez new name. Or maybe it’s Mia Yims. It’s one of the women for sure!

Ok I’m wrong. This is their review of her final form, Re-Reckoning. You can review that here.

https://www.ign.com/articles/kingdoms-of-amalur-re-reckoning-review

Now, if you want to see what they gave her in her current form, as Reckoning, that can be found here: https://www.ign.com/articles/2012/02/03/kingdoms-of-amalur-reckoning-review?amp=1

Some highlights of the review that I found notable to the woman who is known as Reckoning:

quote:

Who said that epic and expansive fantasy RPGs had to have subpar gameplay? For as much as I absolutely adore games like Fallout 3, Mass Effect 2 and Skyrim, gameplay in those titles simply didn't live up to the amazing standards set by their superb settings, narratives and quest structures. In Fallout 3, VATS was simply an excuse for its inherently clumsy combat, and for as much awe as Skyrim instilled in me, in-game fighting is sloppy. Good news, then, that Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning has come along.

Key excerpt below:

quote:

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning isn't the perfect game. Its random technical hiccups and inconsistent art style certainly holds it back from even higher levels of greatness. But no matter what you're looking for, whether it be amazing gameplay, immersive storytelling or perhaps a riveting new world to explore as you fully customize and re-customize your character at will, Reckoning has it all. And after I jump back into my own game to clean up all of the optional stuff I didn't do, I sense I'll want even more. And yes, so will you.

Their score: 9/10. They love Reckoning and can’t wait to see her on Monday.

Now, I really can’t wait to see Re-Reckoning. That’s where I bet she will really shine.

There’s this key excerpt from the review above about her final form:

quote:

On some levels, Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is still a worthwhile RPG to hack and slash your way through, even if this remaster doesn’t go above and beyond the bare minimum expectations. But while the ideas and mechanics that make games like Red Faction: Guerilla and Burnout feel special are still largely singularly unique to them, almost everything that made Amalur stand out in its day has become standard fare for just about any RPG to come out in the past decade. Its fast-paced action still entertains, for the most part, and there’s plenty to see and do in its big world – but after almost a decade of innovation and improvements, it no longer feels particularly extraordinary, and the technical issues it does have are far less excusable. Re-Reckoning is a good reminder of what made the original so great for its time but, more importantly, it’s a testament to how far we've come in the decade since.

They gave her final form, which we haven’t seen yet, a 6/10. Just OKAY. Very yikes. Hope she gets a few patches there so she can really shine in the Thunderdome.

i went to one of these wrestling shows and it was... honestly? frickin boring. i wanna see ricky! i want to see his gold chains and respect for the ftw lifestyle
i was trying to work out in my mind how to make retribution work and i was like, ok they would probably use their shoot names ok, and they would probably need a benefactor to strongarm them onto the show, ok

and then i realized i was literally just thinking up the start of the nwo and thats what wwe made, really really uncool nwo.

The silver lining of the Retribution names, thin as it is, is that when they get unmasked, they...might...get their old names back.

It's dire. I'm just looking for something to be remotely optimistic about with Retribution and I don't think any such thing exists.
