Two Worlds Gold Edition on GOG

Post by Jade Falcon »

The much maligned Two Worlds, seen as a poor imitator of Oblivion is on Good Old Games for $9.99. This is the Gold edition with two expansion packs, Tainted Blood and Curse of Souls.

I don't know what its like once you really get into it, and while Two Worlds certainly isn't a new game, its newer than a lot of GOG's content.

Going by that first screenshot I can see why...

It also controls worse than oblivion (and the horses are somehow 50x worse.)

Couple years old and god-awful, but the comments in the link promise that once I give it a few hours, I start to see the great game beneath shine through.

The comments lie, once you give the game a few hours you'll wish you spent those hours doing something else, like shaving your nuts with a belt sander. Believe me, I learned the hard way.

The game is pretty, I'll give it that, but its empty and boring, also, I don't think the mobs respawn, so as you go through the game it gets emptier and emptier. Its possible to run around for several hours and see nothing but landscape.

I personally was unable to get into it. On one hand, the intro had me rolling my eyes quite often, on the other, the tutorial dungeon had me rolling them even more often. And I haven't played Oblivion at all.

Well, I kept playing, waiting for the fun to start, but it never did, it was horrible, there was no fun.

THERE WAS NO FUN!

I liked Oblivion, but Two Worlds wasn't even a "cheap ripoff," it went straight into "twisted perversion."

Not only was it barely playable, but I always loved how even though it had a character customiser (for the much vaunted multiplayer which never went anywhere) the main campaign forces you to play as a dull brown haired guy.
What is it with European RPG developers and dull brown/black haired guys anyway? Is it a law I'm not aware of?

Must be a similar law to the one forcing all shooter protagonists to be bland, scowling, buzz-cut military types. And brown.
