Two Worlds - Opinion

[Bigcon100]

Right then. IS THIS BETTER THAN OBLIVION??? cos i just got oblivion and its great. but people are saying this is even better + more depth + online. Others are saying it is a rip-off + the online is a gimmick.

Opinions please:

[Headshot]

2 worlds is ----, n overcomplicated campared to oblivion, online is 4v4 sword fights or summit- not an MMORPG or any thing. n the grafics are worse than oblivions

[carocat]

Is it out already?!

[TBS Trojan]

not in the US i know, but i think we need to stop comparing it to oblivion. it looks like a good game, with some new ideas on how to play the game.

[samo8076]

its the same genre as oblivion but a total different game. I can see how people compare the two, but for the moment anyway nobody knows which is better than the other due to Two Worlds not released as yet.

Though expect some strong opinions later this month when the Two Worlds demo is released on the Marketplace(Y)

[Project-Cooper]

Let's put it like this...

If World of Warcraft and Oblivion had babies... this is what it would be. Seems like a great game, and worth a buy at the end of the month... which I will buy.

EDIT: USA gets the game August 14th. United Kingdom gets the game August 31st.

[Uriel Septim]

Ok i can see whay you compare the games and say why one or the other is better but if you are someone who enjoys playing RPG games and you liked Oblivion you will enjoy this. I am getting Bioshock so i may not get this when it is first released.

Download the demo on the 21st then you can make your own jugements on weather to buy the game or not.

The only problem with this game is that they have been pushing it back and it is comeing out now close to the big titles mainly Halo 3 Bioshock will sell well.Most people now wil probley be saveing up for the games in September November.

[Bigcon100]

hmmm. you lot arent realy much help. but that's not your fault :/

and i dont see how you cant cmpare it to oblivion, + how how its some how different.

make a guy, long story good vs evil, quests, guilds, lots of different skills.....

[Dcontrol]

Hmmm interesting we have conflicting release dates.

I thought that the pc version was out on the 10th August, 360 (US) 14th August and 24th August 360 (UK).

That said though there is a demo coming on the 21st on the XBL MP.

Can't find anything on the official website about the release dates either.

Well, how are we meant to tell you stuff about a game that isn't even out? I mean all the trailers, etc don't tell you everything.

I'm definitely going to wait for a demo before I even think about buying it. Some of the screenshots didn't really appeal to me.

There are reviews on the official site but they are in german (You'd be ok Cat), french, italian and dutch but no english meh!

Go on read a review and tell us (Y).

Its had reviews of in the low 80's to the low 90's so far.

[Bigcon100]

80+ is good!! yeah i'll wait till the demo. but my friends seem to be impulse buyers (or just sheep)

[carocat]

Link me to the official site then??

there a german one for you, top of the list, but only gave it 84%, + has a good name lol (Y)

[Bonzo UK]

My friends are bugging me to get it but if what Headshot said (below) about it is true then theres no way im buying it.
Online is 4v4 sword fights or summit- not an MMORPG or any thing.

[carocat]

Jesus Christ, that's like every German magazine and paper!

Reading a couple of them, they all seem to like it and say it's the game that Gothic III (http://uk.pc.ign.com/objects/726/726093.html) was meant to be. Not that I've heard of that one before....

They liked it. :p

They mention several bugs, like people disappearing through the floor, so you can't loot them, horses being a bit ---- and not wanting to go up hills and maybe a little too easy for experienced RPG players.

Apart from that they liked it.

[WACCOE]

If it's any worse than Oblivion, they probably don't want to waste there time releasing it.

What an awful game.

EDIT: Oh, and someone here (I think) mentioned that they will be releasing patches everyday (or every so many days) if there are any bugs/glitches in the game. Again, I don't know if thats true. Maybe it is.

EDIT #2: Solve online quests, fight 1-on-1 battles and host horse races

The most visible aspect of the Two Worlds gameplay is the freedom to change the world and shape the story within it. Other important features are unlimited character development and exciting, spectacular combat. The player is encouraged to experiment with the world, test the results of good and evil deeds and find the most satisfying way to deal with challenges. The gameplay has been designed to evoke the long-term outcomes that are important to the player and offer them the power to change their state. The rush of adrenaline accompanying frequent combat situations will ensure short-term, powerful motivation to continue the current session of play.

The game offers a unique opportunity to influence the game world - unseen, to this scale, in other Role Playing games. Freedom of choice (like freedom to join or betray various organizations) and the importance of every decision are the core mechanisms to evoke the sense of meaningful play.

Depending on the way that a problem is solved, the player gains or loses their reputation in certain organizations, various options are being closed or opened, quests are offered and new locations are unlocked. For example, a player must decide whether to help a city hold off the invasion of orcs or to secretly open the gates and let the invaders in. The latter decision will result in an onslaught and the take over of the city by the barbaric hordes. The next time the player visits this location, it will be populated and managed by orcs, unless the human army arrives and tries to liberate the city. The world lives its own life, but the player has the power to change it. The challenge lies in finding the right "strings" and skilfully "pulling" them.

I too heard about the constant bug fixes. Seems their dedicated to bringing us a bug free game, which is great and more developers should take note *cough bungie*

[charliebrown]

:o

How can you say that... :p


Yeah its like Oblivion. Oblivion & WoW's baby... lol.

[PicoDeath]

its the same genre as oblivion but a total different game. I can see how people compare the two, but for the moment anyway nobody knows which is better than the other due to Two Worlds not released as yet.

Though expect some strong opinions later this month when the Two Worlds demo is released on the Marketplace(Y)

Exactly, I might get it but if there's a demo then I'll try it.

[TBS Trojan]

it would probably be one huge --- demo.

[Bigcon100]

exactly! and cos of my ---- connection, it wud take a month to get! will have 2 rely on reviews + ppls opinions :(


Dcontrol says Somebody just wants to stop looking for ways to fool the filter so that they can use profanities in their posts.

Bigcon says If that person is me, its jus how i type + spell things short. It not sad enough to try + 'beat the filter'. add more words to the filter!

[atomixxxx]

This game isn't better than Oblivion.
However it's cool. A little bit better than Gothic3.

[carocat]

I heard Gothic 3 was crap, so does saying Two Worlds is better make it a good game?

[ri0tNL]

i really really really didnt like gothic 3 either. played the first 30 minutes of that game and then threw it in the bin.

[Bigcon100]

i've never heard of gothic (1, 2 or 3). i take it it wasnt very good?

[nitrox]

don't like that sort of game's though :unsure:
