How is the single player any more boring than other RPGs? I'm not trying to start an argument or make you like the game, but I am trying to understand why you think this. I can't comment on the multiplayer as I haven't tried that.

It was "more boring" because the whole thing felt unfinished and just downright broken. Its not just down to one thing, everything about it was sub par in comparison to other RPGs.

Bad dialog, environmenatal glitches and a pathetic combat system for a third person game.. and yes i know combat is never the main focus in these games, but even by RPG standards this games combat is bad. They'd have been better off making it turn based.

Even so i'll be keeping a eye out for Two Worlds 2.. Except this time i think i'll wait a while and read all of the reviews, and then rent it for good measure.

But how did it feel unfinished or broken? The combat was better than Oblivion, so were the controls. I know that's just my opinion, but so is your post. The collision detection always seems spot on for me. The backjump was a welcome feature. I've played for 49 hours and had no environmental glitches.

Theres three good reasons right there in my post, only of which the third is opinion. The first two are fact. Oblivion was a first person game, thats why the combat was fairly poor. Its a hard thing to get melee combat working on a realistic level with first person without using context sensitive/lock on attacks.

Two Worlds is third person, its far easier to impliment all the right animations from that perspective. I agree i liked the whole "back jump" ability and most of the combat based skills, but the actual combat (pressing RT) was terrible in my opinion. All u could do was repeat the same combo over and over, there was no variation at all.

Where as if u look at other third person games that use melee attacks they tend to go for a more freeform combat system. Both of the Fable games are a good example of that, also any hack and slash game.

Random thought: I think this game would be amazing if it had the physics and combat controls of dynasty warriors :D

I'm thinking of buying this Game (first one). I played the Demo and found it not too bad. I have one question though; can you Block?

"2nd. means you're 1st. to lose"

No, but as far I remember you can have a block-skill which blocks a special percentage of the hits.

Thats because you treated this game as any other. For people who prefer RPG genre to shooters for example this game is pretty good. They are always able to look past the performance issues and enjoy the RPG part of the game though. I liked the game albeit all the performance issues. I played through at least 70% (I did use the guide though) with all the issues and only tried the performance adjustments listed in this thread http://forums.xbox.com/26684159/ShowPost.aspx later on. If people cared to actually use tricks to have a better playing quality it means that game was worth it. Those who tried demo did themselves as much worse as those who tried demo of "Too Human" and made conclusions based on that.

Both Two Worlds and Too Human are great games. Two Worlds may be quite unpolished and has quite a ridiculous interface, but that is all only because it was ported from PC version and interface controls didn't get implemented quite well.

I will definitely be trying the part II even to only see if devs were able to improve the game quality.

I really enjoy the open world, Old English/Knight style gameplay with swords, bow & arrow, magic, etc., so just give me another story/map and I'm happy.

It's going to be a long wait -- according to SouthPeak Games -- Winter, 2010.

Of the 60-70 games I've played for the 360, there have only been 3 or 4 games I hated with a passion, Two Worlds being one of them.  Although, unlike the others, I actually managed to finish this game.  It was really bad, but if they can actually make the sequel fit to be released on a next gen console, I suppose I'll buy it.  Granted I might wait a few months for the price to drop.

I bought Two Worlds yesterday from a bargin bin and so far im loving it, though the graphics and framerate is an issue i dont mind it much as the game itself is great fun and i havent even tryed it online with others yet, so yes i think ill be getting the sequel and hopefully they'll fix the few bugs and lockups ^^

Pray for blood, Pray for plagues

I bought the game a month ago and i play it everyday. I enjoy playing on live RPG more then playing on single player. Im not real big on questing but i will help out anyone that needs it. Right now im working on making new potions. But for sure i will be buying the sequel the day it comes out.

This game is a good bargain bin game. The fact that it has started to get considerably better after the first few levels gives me hope for the sequel. I'll likely rent it, but buying it on day 1 is simply not wise for me. One thing that a lot of this game's supporters agree on is that South Peak has learned a lot from Two Worlds. Any dev that has this much to learn is kind of a risky venture to fork out $60-$70 to.

When I first rented this game (the day it was released in the US), I was very excited for it. I think I was so let down that I didn't bother to give it a chance after the first hour (and the multiplayer was literally unplayable). I hope that South Peak can truly implement everything they've learned from the first game, but that may be asking a lot.

I am not getting it because I feel shafted over the money I spent to buy this one. When a game is bad enough to make me regret spending $15, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I really don't want to give "them" any more money.

It's so weird that someone can hate a game so much while someone else likes it so much. I am very happy with the money I spent on Two Worlds. I bought it the day it came out for $60.

Some people buy games not because they really like the RPG genre, they buy it just to spend some time, for fun, because friend said its fun, because someone said if you don't buy it then you're a 'loser', or because they like PvP and thought that this game will give them some PvP orgasm :). I bought this game for RPG experience and I got that and more from it. But then again I was able to get into interface without a problem, work qith guide through the quests, make a great equipment...etc. In other words if someone buys this game without a real passion for RPG games, it may turn back on them lol :).

My Forza 3 Album

I bought the game when it first came out $60 and I thought it would be a really cool RPG when I saw the comment on the back of the case "It's Oblivion on Steroids" I laughed at that when I first played the game for 5 minutes... I went back on it and I tried to like it.. The whole game was a problem itself, maybe just maybe if they fixed the whole game and started from scratch and not use this same crappy concept then MAYBE I might get it. I'll probably look at some reviews or something first.

Games to Get:
Borderlands
Modern Warfare 2

The Sequel is now called Two Worlds II and it is running on a better engine than Temptation.

For everyone who say this is a 'great' game. You are the reason why games like this, Too Human, Wanted, etc. are made. Terrible, terrible games. I pre-ordered this game, I was excited about it. It was a pretty hyped up rpg. It definitely fell short of it's hype. I think I had it for like a week, maybe, and took it back.

• Story was awful
• Voice acting was awful
• Combat was awfully repetitive
• Weapon/armor stacking made this game way too easy

THAT'S TOO BAD, I LIKED TEMPTATION BETTER, LESS OF A TONGUE TWISTER. I WILL GET THIS GAME FOR PC IF THEY HAVE FIXED THE DUPING, SINCE I LOVED MP SO MUCH AND THAT RUINED IT.

CAPITALS FOR ALL AND CAPITAL PUNISHMENT FOR THE REST

I will get it if they allow female char creation.  I will also get it if they incorporate a massive multiplayer experience in a shared world (I'm thinking diablo'ish) for no monthly fee. 

I've noticed that people are always saying,"...it's my opinion..." Well let me iterate something. If the words," In my opinion..." are not in front of your response then you are not attempting to convey an opinion. Rather you are making a statement. Statements are open to debate, i.e. your inviting several users to reply to posts with arguementive facts. As a result arguements are formed and can easily de-evolve into nonsensical bantering.

RPGs' are not meant to be super-graphicaly intensive. They are meant to contain very engaging stories. The game Baldur's Gate comes to mind; poor graphics, simplistic game-play, a story that continues to follow the game through-out its many incarnations. This is an RPG. If you purchased the game for any reason other than story-line, you made a purchase for the wrong reason. You will be disappointed. Perhaps many users here should play BG to discover what a true RPG is...

If Two Worlds 2 continues to follow the same story, or even references the original story, then it will be a worthy purchase. If it heads in a completely different direction then I may skip it for it no longer follows the RPG term in its truest sense.

"2nd. means you're 1st. to lose"

New story can be as engaging as the old one. And to be honest I didn't like the main story line in Two Worlds that much. I've enjoyed more doing the side quests and just the perspective of the game, equipment stocking etc, than the main story itself. Brother, sister... blah blah. Why don't they just call it their own names - Buffed up dude saves Pamela Anderson. OR, in the beginning of the game they can put a note in your backpack "There will be a chick with big jugs in the main story line, so you better do it"...

My Forza 3 Album

RPGs' contain an element that is very rare in other genres...  continuity. Continuity allows your character to grow over time. While a sequal or trilogy may contain new plots, these should not over-shadow any references to the origin of your character. "Never forget where you came from," is the mantra of all true RPGs'. It is also equaly important that your origin reflect how your character engages these new plots.

By creating an entirely new Game, you have stripped all essence of the RPG element and created just a new Game.

---

"2nd. means you're 1st. to lose"

Well you can't really call Two Worlds a success, you know. So maybe starting with a clean slate in Two Worlds 2 and sticking to all the promised improvements may give the game series another chance to start from scratch and not to repeat the "failure" with the original game. You can't really say "where you come from" based on the original Two Worlds story line. But they shouldn't have problem to tell "where we are going" in part 2. If they somehow continue the storyline in part 2, I personally wouldn't object much. As long as they keep similar game mechanics and RPG element it shouldn't be a problem. Now if they remove things that players liked in part 1 and replace with something completely new again, it may be a different story about either game will successful or not. Sometimes clean slate is a good idea, but they may still pull it off by using continuance to the story that started in Part 1. I guess in Part 2 you will have to save your little brother .

My Forza 3 Album

LOL,

Maybe. You could even play the Brother, as long as it is explained in depth throughout the story as to what happened to the original character and why the Brother is the current character. It would preserve continuity. A direct continuance would be preferred but as long as there is in-depth reference to the original story the RPG element can be sustained.

"2nd. means you're 1st. to lose"

If anyone cares, I just played Velvet Assassin, which is by the same company.

Great voice acting, stunning graphics real time lighting, fluent framerate.
Too bad the gameplay sucked. But still its a good sign.
