IGN: Two Worlds II Review

The inventive spell system and multiplayer element don’t make Two Worlds II good, unfortunately. They provide good points for brave RPG fans to find some purchase and explore the game, though. Two Worlds II has a lot of potential, but ultimately, it can’t fulfill the lofty ambitions that Reality Pump set for it and comes up shorter than it probably would have for the trouble.

Presentation - 5.0

IGN are still so biased lol. Again lol

[RedDead]

I guess all the average reviews on two worlds 2 are all biased rght? They're all wrong? This reminds me of AvP 2010, very mixed reviews/

[Bigpappy]

I don't care about the score. But I assure you that what he is saying about unresponsive controls and the horse's legs poking out are not in the 360 verion I am playing. I didn't notice any breast hanging out either (not saying it is not there. I just didn't notice it. That would not bother me anyway).

I am enjoying this game. The fights are rather satisfying for and RPG. I think reviewer have lost touch on what gamers are looking for and concider a good game. Especially an RPG.

So you just clicked both the reviews of two worlds and bionic commando 2 to say that? Sad troll has a sad life.

@ MajestieBeast ]

Thats just too funny!

I commented on two reviews by IGN and noticed there wasnt a sh*t storm in the comments section, I then wondered why?

then it came to me, of course it is not a PS3 game that is being reviewed, hence no one cares about the score, right?

I actually own a PS3 and a 360 but im a bit old to be thinking that there is a big Conspiricay against the PS3 and its games, seriously, lol!!

Im going to be picking up KZ3 at the end of the month and I cant wait for it, I just find it hysterical and I actualy mean HYSTERICAL when Fanboys (on both sides) lose the plot, because a game they have had no real time with doesnt get the score THEY think it deserves.

Only on the internet lol

I really do think that rpg reviewers should post their quest log and save menu for credibility of reviews.Only playing through the main quest of an rpg does not gives a clear view of the game.Atleast 75% of all sidequests should be finished to review a game.Some sidequests in rpgs are more interesting than main quest.
As for the game i rate it at 8.Less buggy and more beautiful than new vegas,more depth than fable 3 and simply the most innovative magic system in any game.Those are facts and if that converts to 6,i have really some questions to ask about many 80-90 games.

So the average is sub 75 on gamerankings.........

just goes to show you the wrpg genre is held up by bioware/bethesda

[Neckbear]

Said it once, I'll say it again:

Bethesda and BioWare are the worst WRPG developers out there.

Both Divinity II and Two Worlds II are better than what those companies shit up. In my opinion, at least.

I mean, would you say that the JRPG genre is held up by Square Enix just because their games have a higher score average than anything the Tales Studio, Nippon Ichi or GUST make?

...Yeah.

[Tex117]

I respectfully disagree with you.

Bioware is doing a much better job than the other wRPG developers in telling a tighter narrative.

Bethesda, well...Oblivion WAS good, but has not aged well. Fallout was good for atmosphere, but we will have to see with Skrim if they can really pull everything together into something special.

Im enjoying Two Worlds II, don't get me wrong, but to say Bioware and Bethesda are the WORST is bit too strong of a statement.

The uproar about the killzone 3 scores are ridiculous, at least it didn't get blasted like this game.

[pr0digyZA]

I'm actually enjoying this game on PC, I would personally rate it at 80%.

[gorebago]

i like this game alot

[josh14399]

did they even play the pc version? sounds like they were playing the console version. games like this are always better on pc fact. im not saying the game didn't deserve the score it got because it doesn't look that brilliant but i don't see the point in reviewing a game if you don't play the best version.

[Evoluti0n]

I thinks its funny that the original Two Worlds received a 6.8 from IGN and the sequel received a 6.......?

We all know the original was atrocious, and almost every website that reviewed the sequel said it was leaps and bounds better than the original...so how is this possible? Hypocritical much?

I lost respect for IGN recently; they already showed their true colors with the first Dead Space 2 review that got everyone hot and bothered.

Just some food for thought:

I'm about 22 hours in and I'd have to give it a 7.5 - 7.9.

The good things in this game surely outweigh the bad, and its worth a purchase and a chance at the very least.

Is it considered "cool" to give good games bad review scores these days?
