[ALL] Two Worlds 2

[Maynard]

if your a sports gamer i would not recommend this as your first venture into an rpg game.

go pick up mass effect 2 for $20 for 360 ( do u have 360). Its an action rpg thats a shitload of fun and has near flawless gameplay and a great story. Plus its easy to pick up and play and will give you 50 hours of gameplay in one playthru.

this game is complex and i would hate to see you spend money to see if you like it.

if you only have ps3 go get God of war 3. kmart has a deal on that...not sure what but gow 3 is a simple, fast paced kick ass action game. there is always uncharted 2 for ps3....u cant go wrong there, plus u can play coop and online

Now I played the original Fable and really liked that, I may like this game, I watched the trailers and it looked really cool. I just look for a game that has that WOW factor. I look at Mass Effect and for some reason it just doesnt seem to do it for me.

Fable resides on the less hardcore end of RPGs. Like Maynard, I'd recommend you start with the Mass Effect series. Then maybe move on to Dragon Age. If you still can't get enough, go grab Two Worlds 2.

Does playing Two Worlds have any bearing on Two Worlds 2. Am I missing anything I guess is what I mean

I've not played either one. Maynard might have an answer.

 

[Maynard]

i didnt play the first game. my understanding is u dont need to play 1 to play 2. nothing carries over

Well, if I were to tell you I played WoW for the better part of 3 years, enjoying mostly everything about the game [except for time commitments and intense scheduling to MODERATELY progress], would you tell me this is the game for me?

I'm a big fan of Dark Alliance 1 & 2, Champions of Norrath, and even the 64 version of Gauntlet. I didn't really like Fable all that much, but I played WoW, Neverwinter Nights, Diablo 2, etc. on PC.

I like leveling up, I like having a multitude of skills at my disposal, and I like character customization [in terms of attacks, items, etc, nothing graphically speaking].

What say you?

 

[Maynard]

of course i would say get it. but manchild is a sports gamer and and trying to grasp everything this has to offer might be tough going and not as enjoyable as a guy like you who played WOW for years.

im not saying he wouldnt enjoy it, but its more 50/50 for him. this is not a Fable style game, which i also did not enjoy

i been reading more about the spells in this game. seems that the spell making options are endless. one guy i talked to says that if you dabble in each of the 3 classes that its ok, but if you focus your points on all mage that its insane

Thanks for the help Maynard, also I didnt mean WOW as in World of Warcraft LOL.

Off to Target, lets see what I come home with. My dumb ass will come home empty handed.

I almost asked, haha. Either way, I just picked it up, along with a new 360, and I'm booting it up right now.

I'll post my GT once I actually determine one.

Manchild, you can get Red Dead Redemption for 20 bucks here, as long as you fill it in with a 4.99 filler game, which shouldn't be a problem.

im getting a bit frustrated with mage abilities. I am playing the beginning missions and side quests so I assume there difficulty falls in line with where a starting player would be. Along the path i come across giant ants or these creatures called gorrs or something. As a mage i only have a few spells. Each of which seems to do little damage. Take the Ant for example. I hit him 5 times with a fire bolt, run away so he doesnt hit me, fire 5 more times. rinse/repeat about 4 times. Thats like 20 hits. meanwhile he hits me 3-4 times and i am dead.....thats where the frustration comes in....dieing and having to do it over again. Plus the hit and run method isnt exactly stratigic and its kind of lame.

I could see if i was wandering into areas that i shouldnt be. But where i am coming across these enemies is in the course of playing the very first side quest you open in the game.....(for a sidequest its very long...took about 2 hours a gametime to finally finish). I am a level 8 and i am now only sinking points into mage.

even using my melee setup (u can switch thru 3 setups while playing so i have a mage, melee and archer setup) and trying to melee fight a enemy is extremely tough. Its easier than as a mage though. It just feels like the balance is off right now. Maybe thats how they want it to be and i will get stronger while they stay the same. There are some real weak enemies to.

I came to another sidequest last night where i am to find some runes for a forger. I go in this cave and 1 fucking skeleton dude kept beating the shit out of me. with melee i had a chance, but as a mage i had no chance cause i would hit him 10 times and it did nothing to slow him down....maybe i am using the wrong type of spell against skeletons. I have fire, water and air available. but none worked. Plus its dark as fuck in there. I have a torch but i cant hold my torch while fighting so as soon as the torch is out i cant see shit

anyways.....i been playing for what seems like a long time now, but really i have only scratched the surface....barely. I am nowhere close to where i expected to be in my knowledge of spells and potions. Plus u have to find and read books to open skills for each class. and i am not finding any of these books to make my guy better

 

[Gonzo]

I've only barely scratched the surface as well...made the mistake of trading off with a friend last night during the entire prologue area [which was a lot longer than I really expected] and missed out on a lot of shit just because we would talk or something.

Gonna try and re-do that portion sometime today if I get the chance. The game is a lot more in-depth than I had even first realized. Looks like it could be good.

The hand gestures did get annoying rather quickly, not a deal-breaker, just a bit funny. I also don't like how I talk like Christian Bale 150% of the time.

 

[manchild24]

well I came home with nothing, but I think thats because I got sick from Pizza Hut last night.

I had Red Dead in my hand, and Two Worlds 2 (the thing that interests me in this game because Ive always been interested in LOTR type shit) I think I held out too because Im going to the Gamestop tonight and will probably get rid of all my games for trade ins.

the voices are just bad. Sometimes they are so bad and can even be funny, but most of it is bad.

the hand gesture thing actually gets better as u play cause you will be hold stuff.

i am also amazed at how much there is to do in this game. the depth of the game is crazy...plus the size of the land is massive. Thats what i really love about it

And thats the stuff I like about it, you can go and wonder around Im assuming and check things out, bang elves and hobits.

i thought this was a good and fair review of the game. i dont totally agree with the way they describe the graphics, but im not a graphics whore either
