Two Worlds ..... any love?

It probably won't be as good as oblivion.

It is being overshadowed by bigger titles.

I'm still going to play this.

I am considering buying two copies so my son and I can play together. No I am not expecting this to be as good as Oblivion (We both love that game) but I think being able to play together is going to be great.

Good point. That is a cool feature, I haven't looked into how that works yet, I should check it out.

Im interested in this as well. It is overshadowed by games like madden and Halo 3 a month later.

I'm definitly looking forward to Two Worlds. Right now I'm trying to decide whether to get it on the 360 or the PC.

I have my copy reserved (which I never reserve games) I think this one is gonna fill a huge void for the 360 of having an mmorpg, unlike oblivion and the other rpg's it will sport online play, I'm not sure just yet how it will work, it says 8 player online so I dont know if there are gonna be huge servers and you look for a group like in evercrack or what. get your info here www.2-worlds.com

its gonna be sweet

I would love to find a suitable successor to fill the Oblivion void (even though I never did buy any of the added quest lines/expansion), but Oblivion consumed my whole Spring and Summer last year, and I don't have that kind of time this coming Fall with Bioshock, Halo 3, GTA IV, CoD4, Mass Effect, Assassins Creed, Splinter Cell, and Lord knows what other games I am forgetting. Oblivion was a Godsend last Spring when there was plenty of time due to a somewhat shortage of other games. Oblivion still stands as one of my greatest gaming experiences ever.

Hmmm... that sounds like a really small scale mmo (or should it be smo small multiplayer online?). That actually sounds intriguing, like a whole new class of game.

There is a guy on the IGN forums that is an OBLIVION NUT. He posted so many threads about Oblivion before it came out it was ridiculous. His threads had hundreds of words of details and information... compiled over hours of work. He knew everything about the game and convinced me to buy it. He really knew the genre.

He bought the PC version of Two Worlds and has commented on the game. On IGN he goes by the handle HereIsOblivion. I trust his comments greatly:

COMMENT1:

The game is open and has a lot in common with Oblivion. But the core mechanics of the game are different.
The online multiplayer isn't just limited to an 8-player co-op game though.
The 8-player co-op is similar to Crackdown's 2-player, as in you can seperate from each other, to go anywhere and do anything.


There are also tons of other things, such as:
- 8-player death match
- Horse racing
- Betting on games such as horse racing
- Monster hunting



It's like they complied a whole list of random things to do, and put it all together in multiplayer form.

THe ONLY thing I don't like is that your singleplayer character and multiplayer character are 2 completely different things. Your singleplayer character is very limited in customization. While your multiplayer character has huge room for customizing.

The PC version will have some form of dedicated servers and can have upwards of 100 people playing together similar to a small MMO. Anyone can come and go as they please.

The 360 version will be limited to 8 people. And it's like most other games where 1 person starts a room and others join. If the person which started the room leaves, all other will be kicked as well.


COMMENT 2:

On a side note. Don't go into this game expecting Oblivion caliber.
Oblivion is a AAA title. This game is a B+.
It's amazingly fun for what it is. The mechanics of the game with things such as weapon stacking and magic modifiers makes certain aspects of the game more fun than Oblivion. But as a whole, this is nothing like Oblivion.


So if you don't go in expecting AAA greatness, and you liked Oblivion as well as Morrowind, I don't know how you couldn't like it.

COMMENT 3:

If you liked Oblivion and you liked Morrowind, I'm not sure how you couldn't like Two Worlds.




He made comments in another thread as well but I'm not digging that one up. I think this should suffice.

My comment: This is too "B quality" to waste my time on it. I will play Mass Effect instead.

I'll take B+ with the ability to play with 7 friends.

Those of us over 5'2" never had a shot at horse racing

Not impressed with the graphics in the video. Some shots (of the door rolling open) appear to be like original Xbox graphics in games like the new Gauntlet. With that said, its still on the top of my list as I am a RPG nut, can't get enough of them.

It looks great to me. It looks a lot like Sacred, which is great IMO. I will be getting it.

Dual Wielding looked pretty cool in the trailers. I'm a sucker for a game with a good melee interface. I've always been more of the conan type than a finger-waggler.

That being said, there are way too many good games out and not nearly enough time on my part to play. So if it eventually goes on discount before I get around to it, not really a big loss.

I was really really looking forward to this game when it was a June release date. Then it got pushed back to this week in July and I was really looking forward to it (was going to skip looking at football until I was done with it). Then it got pushed back to end of July, now middle of August.

I agree with dbburns we need to get it when we have some down time so we can give it a chance and play it (since its a B title it will probably wont wow us and we will need time to get into it). As it is Blue Dragon will be long game and Mass Effect should be long and I would think Eternal Sonata and Lost Odyessy will be long. God I hope Halo3 is a bit longer then 2 and GTA will be long. A huge number of great games and they all hit during football season.

Conclusion: I will be excited as soon as I believe it actually has a chance of coming out and if its in the middle of the AAA titles then it may have to wait until next year.

The graphics on the trailer looked very XBOXish.

Lets get this out of the way. The game doesn't have great graphics. Nor is this the type of title where you should expect Mass Effect, Bioshock, or even Oblivion type graphics. Nevertheless, the big open world looks compelling and this game is for those of us who really enjoy this type of game/gameplay.

I'm intrigued by the thought of a mmorpg with my brothers and buddies, but don't want to become a wow nerd. Hmmm. Will keep an eye on this one

Two Worlds is definitely on my radar as well but I'll probably wait until a few reviews are in before picking it up. I enjoyed Oblivion (it's the only 360 game where I got every achievement point) so if this can give me a roughly comparable experience I'm all for it.

It's not even close to half of those games. You'd think it could look at least as good as Overlord is all I'm saying. Those graphics aren't super impressive, but they're not that bad either.

bad timing, was liking it 'til it slipped into SPORTS time.

Unless my usual crew gets it and sets a decent night.

Anyone care to comment on the benefits of the somewhat recent patch?

I played the demo and it was absolutely unplayable because of the framerate.

From what I understand the patch did not help the framerate, so the game is still unplayable as far as I'm concerned.

It's funny to see what everyone was expecting and what it turned out to be.

Yea, I jsut tried the demo today. Quite frankly it sucked...very much

I played the demo a few weeks ago. It looked like a mediocre PC game ported over to the 360 without any consideration as to what controls well on a console; in particular, the inventory screen was a cluttered mess. Also, the frame rate was really, really bad and made the game almost unplayable. All the choppiness started giving me a headache after about 5 minutes.

If you're bored with Oblivion and want something more hardcore in that same style, you could always pick up Morrowind if you've never played it. Might as well play a solid game with old graphics than a crappy, barely playable game with new graphics.

I posted a thread on the patch. It helped, a LOT, it fixed a lot of things in the game and helped the game run extremely smooth. You have to defrag the game after the patch installed, then it runs really well. Search for my thread on the patch for Two Worlds.
