Two Worlds is Too Shit
Jim Sterling | 9:24 AM on 10.16.2007 43 comments


Okay, my free rental copy of Two Worlds finally arrived today (fucking postal strikes) and I gave it a whirl. At the most, I was hoping it wasn't as bad as people said it was. At the least, I was hoping for one of those "so crap it's awesome" type of deals where I could at least enjoy that it was a pile of shit.


No.


Believe what you hear about Two Worlds -- it is practically unplayable. When you're not getting raped by boars, you're dealing with one of the shittest maps I've ever seen, an unclear objective and framerate that really is awful as has been claimed.

It's badly designed too. You can't read all the attributes of a certain weapon because a big "HIT BACK FOR HELP" message obscures it. I mean ... what the FUCK? Then there's the voice acting, and yes, they really do say forsooth.

Yeah, it's as bad as everyone says it is. No hyperbole ... it's fucking wretched, and I only managed ten minutes with it.



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

I was hoping this game would be good.
Thanks to the many reviews saying it's horseshit I wont have to burden myself with trying it.

lol, forsooth.

When everyone I knew said that the game was utter trash it seemed a safe bet to stay away from it.

And is it true that your character randomly yells out "Bandits?!" as often as I've heard? Even when what you're fighting most assuredly aren't bandits.

I'm trying to get a copy as well. Maybe we should co-op this horseshit for shits and giggles.

Jim, I'm sorry. Now, before you break down totally, go to the pub, have a pint, and go play some Dynasty Warriors to help flush the shittiness out of your system.

I actually played all the way through this wretched pile of shit. No seriously, I couldn't help myself. I wanted it to be good. Eventually I got pissed off and slaughtered every NPC I could find with my overpowered Katana (weapon stacking totally breaks any challenge the game may have provided) I can only assume this wanton rampage caused some sort of massive glitch in the game because the remaining NPCs came to be represented as a collection of black cubes. Which was actually pretty cool.

Capture the final boss with FRAPS and submit it as your 1 minute of Hell. I mean, who would actually get to that point eh?

I played the PC version, it was funny for all of 5 minutes.
Then I uninstalled it, for an "Elderscrolls" clone/copy its possibly the worst thing ever made, can't remember even 1 thing I would consider they did right.

You see when somebody put out a game like oblivion, you don't try to be better than it. Elder scrolls, RULES action RPGs.

I thought so. But its so fucking weird, some people love Two Worlds, which doesn't make any fucking sense how so many people can call it unplayable and others can call it awesome.

You think you're upset Sterling, I payed actual money for that shit. Actual fucking money, and now that game will forever be linked to my Gamertag.

I kinda liked it...
I could easily get past the framerate and stuff. Although I did fuck all but kill bandits and wolves.

Also, mayhap.

For shame, Jim. For all you know, the game could have been as good as afternoon tea after the first 10 minutes.
