OXM UK: "This is not necessarily what we were expecting from a fantasy RPG hero. He's currently legging it - arms going like pistons - as he's chased across the savannah by a rhinoceros, two ostriches and a particularly irate cheetah. It started with a trio of baboons lobbing stones, and by the time we'd piled in to teach our simian aggressors just who's higher on the evolutionary ladder we'd woken up half of Whipsnade. Still, the time- honoured technique of clambering on a rock until the AI pathfinding draws a blank and then peppering nature's noble beasts with arrows should be enough to get us out of our latest scrape. Welcome back to Two Worlds."
Topware Interactive will deliver the final piece of single-player DLC for its 2010 RPG Two Worlds II early next month.
I enjoyed this game on my X360, much better than the first one. Sucks we have to wait so long for TW3. I hope they port this game to PS4/X1 in the meantime, especially after all these updates and new expansions. Would certainly help build some hype for the third entry, at least a little.
Guess they're officially done milking the only passable game they've released. They can always rename Raven's Cry again and pull a couple more sales from the unknowing public.
Two Worlds II offers adventurers the thrilling experience of a perilous and daring journey throughout a vast magical land. Rich in story, detail and content, 2W2 offers an array of unique approaches to classic game elements that push the envelope for the fantasy RPG genre.
Played this on PS3 it wasn’t bad for a B game but in no way did it “offer an array of unique approaches to classic game elements” and sure as hell didn’t push any envelopes. Why release this multiplayer so many years later ? They should re-release for this gen consoles for 19.99 with the updates
I enjoyed this game, much better than the first one. With Two Worlds 3 coming next year, I would love to see a remaster of this on current gen.
You did read that title right, the game that was released in 2010 for Europe and 2011 for North America now has microtransactions thanks to a recent update by developer Topware Interactive.
lol what ? i thought this 2010/2011 game was dead already and now they are adding micro transactions ?? at least as the article said they are adding dlcs.
From the same people that provided me a review copy of Raven's Cry then, when I gave the game a 1 due to the fact I found it unfinished, threatened me with defamation (nothing ever happened there).
Then, when they re-released the game on Steam as "Vendetta" claimed everything was fixed (even though it wasn't broken in the first place, right), but then refused to give me code for the re-release.
That re-release sits at a highly negative status on Steam, with most claiming they can't even run the game.
Just saying.
It's kinda amazing just how different so many of the reviews are for this game.
I personally am enjoying it....but in no way do I think it is perfect or even great. Its a niche RPG game that definitely is not for everyone who are fans of the genre.
It gets so many things wrong and yet it does a number of things brilliantly. I suppose you could say it lives up to the name sake... Two Worlds 2 has Two different reviews...Great and God Awful
Its good, and I enjoyed playing it. (beat it last night)
There is some brilliant stuff in there, but by the end, I was eager to put it down.
I then fired up Demon's Souls for my 3rd playthrough in honor of the Dark Souls annoucnement.
It has some small technical flaws. Nothing that breaks the game. But, if you like to work and grind your way through an RPG that rewards that effort, you will find plenty to do here that is enjoyable and well worth your time. There is plenty of loot and surprised in the side quest, which make most of them worth your time (Exploration is encurraged). There is a deep magic and weapon leveling system that is one of the best I have seen in an RPG. Morality and relationships are handled well also.
I am playing this game slowly (Some nay be tempted to play it as and action adventure and just fight their way to the end with minimal exploration) and having a great time. It actually calls me back for more, unlike RDR which I thought was a great game. WRPG is my favorite genre though, so I am by no means trying to speak for anyone else.
