Two Worlds 2 - My Impression thus far

Thanks, I could've posted it here but it would've taken 5 posts to get everything here so I just added a link to the blog, so much easier.

But Two Worlds 2 seems quite nice, only have an issue I have atm is the motion blur, but found a dev code to remove it and the other one is there is no real display when you gain a level, so you need to check your attributes and very small XP bar often and spend those points.
 
Convinced my friend to get the PS3 version instead of the PC version. I finally have someone to play the co-op adventure with. Hells Yeah!!!

@Sou1Co11ector : Nice write-up dude. I had a level 40 character but lost it when my old PS3 died, I enjoyed the game so much that I don't really care. Restarted it yesterday.

Cool let me know how the multiplayer aspect of the game is, as I am internetless at my home, so for now it is just single player campaign for me...
 
I read your blog, great stuff!!

But would this game suite an Elder Scrolls, Dragon Age, Demon's Souls (Still trying to source a copy!! Can you believe it?!) junkie like myself? RPG's are the shizz, so I try and get every single one I can find (That is good!), but from the reviews I've been held back.
 
@Duke: Get it man, you should be able to get a copy at any BT Games as of today, or try Take2. If you get then there will be three of us to play co-op. :D
 
The game is buggy, sure, but that's why they have patches. Now the storyline thus far is okay, not the best ever, but still I only stopped playing it over the weekend when I had to eat and sleep.

I myself am also a Elder Scrolls junkie and RPG games are my favourite genre. I don't listen to reviews that much, because it is one persons' opinion or a few, but I prefer to play the game myself then decide.

You can always borrow a copy from a friend if they have one, install it and if you like it buy the full game, since it will ask you at the end of the first chapter to re-enter your registration key etc. If you find the game intriguing enough to buy then do so at that time.

I just went onto Take2 and BT Games' site and it wasn't listed for the PS3 :confused:??

How much does it go for mate?

Yeah I'm the same, RPG's are my favorite genre of games as well. The only problem, none of my friends like RPG's :cry:! So I can't borrow a copy at all :( So I'm either going to waste my money or love the game, it is worth the risk though??
 
I like it. That's about the only endorsement I can give you.

It's is not as refined as Oblivion or Dragon Age, but it has it's strong points. The ability to upgrade your items, weapons, etc. to a very high level. The ability to make custom spells with the spell cards and spell amulets and modifiers really is nice.

But you need to be a focused spell caster to use the spells to their full potential and there are quite a few different specializations in magic.

Alchemy is also well thought out and the system allows for a lot of experimentation.

The main quest line is about 20 - 30 hours - that's what I've read and the rest of the stuff should give about 100 hours of content to play through. The map is insanely huge!

The game would've been great if they polished it a lot more and sorted the bugs, but it is fine the way it is. Get it, play co-op with other people online and play other games with your local buddies.
 
It goes for R499.95 for PS3 dude. I know for a fact that BT Games Bloemfontein has stock and I'm pretty sure the other branches have it as well. If you do decide to get it, add my friend on PSN if you don't already have him: HiTech_Hate_13. We're planning on jamming the co-op from about tomorrow night (waiting for cap :p) and he also has Killzone 3 and Bulletstorm, etc.

I'd say the game is definitely worth it. I too am a RPG junkie and I loved the first Two Worlds, the sequel is no different.
 
I bought the first Two Worlds when it came out, I think it was 2005/6. I installed it and didn't play it any further because I got hooked by Oblivion and lost 246 hours of my life playing it.

But then December 2010 I got bored and didn't have anything else to do, so I took my games chest, which is an old mortar case from the army - yes it is cool - and I saw Two Worlds...

I installed it, played it and liked it a lot. I could kick myself for not playing it back then... The unlimited-ness of the game was epic! The game was fun and so I got myself the second game, I like the game and will play it again tonight.

One last question, is the combat any good?

I think I will pick it up then :D. Two RPG junkies saying its good should be enough of a reason to get it, will pop by my local BT and see if they have stock :)
 
The combat is fun, it has some nice finisher moves - if they land and animate correctly - but I heard this is addressed in a patch for the PC version, not sure how it plays on consoles. There aren't a lot of skills but they are easily accessible and cool-down times are quite fast so you can easily spam attacks or vary your attacks and then your other skills should be recharged.

Thanks mate, will definitely give this a look at!
 
Playing the co-op with a friend now and it is AWESOME! It's great to have some human backup. We struggled to connect to each other, but after some googling I found a console command to skip NAT restrictions and it has been smooth sailing ever since. I don't think I've ever seen another console game with a functional developer console. I still have no idea what exactly NAT is, but it works. :D

Picking up my copy on PC this weekend, but since I am playing RIFT I likely will have little time to play for quite a while. Either way, I am glad to finally get it.
