Two Worlds 2!

Yeah, this sucks, its still a good game and there is loads to explore, but I feel cheated about finding out that island is the multiplayer map. Not to mention the game is now crashing on me every 20mins all of a sudden.
 
Yes, very misleading from the devs. I'd already worked out the main island seemed to be where the MP chapters were as I've done 3 chapters in MP so far. For the SP game I've played around 8 hrs and still in ch1 so if it is indeed a short game (for an rpg) then the later chapters must be quite short.

Either way, its not a disaster for me. The game is quite fun and I've spent the same money on games in the past with less playtime than this. Still, the devs should have been more upfront about it though....not the first time a dev studio has lied about game length.
 
I feel like a fool buying this game. I am really ****ed on this issue.

If I could, I would not hesitate a second burning my copy. But I cant because its digital download.
 
installing now :), bit annoyed about the whole missing parts of the map, but from what ive read its still a fun game, so will give it a try.

i disagree. when they said the quickest their very quick testers could play the game without doing any side quests was 24/27 hours then i'd say it's fair to complain. they said over 100 hours of game play some people are getting and only 70% of the way through but people have done the game 100% with around 20 hours.

100% with all sidequest completed is a total lie. It is quite literally not possible.

Also, that guy who reached Level 41, and finished in 20 hours, must have leveled up every half hour. If he visited 50 dungeons then he must have cleared out 2 dungeons every hour - this in addition to all the stuff above ground, where most of the game takes place.

I have the game and am playing it right now. No way can it be completed in 20 hours with 100 % sidequest completion.
 
Better looking game much less blur and still HDR with higher distance !

Unpack into your Two Worlds 2 root dir , you should then have a parameters folder with autoexecgame2.con file inside :)

Go into your driver control panel and enable 16XAF

In game open the console and type engine.paralaxonterrain 0 , this will enable the af you've just applied via the driver.
 
The main island controversy aside the game has been worth it for me. Got about 30+ hrs out of it so far with mostly SP and some MP. Still haven't finished main game, prob clock up around 30 hrs for that. Only thing that really bugs me about the game is the UI (way too big and console'y) and the weird camera. Yeah I did the FOV trick but it still sucks overall, with the motion sway and not centering the character when running.

Its a good enough game though. But out of the rpgs I've played lately I'd rate Divinity II: DKS the best, much longer and more fun to play.
 
tbh after the initial omg the graphics are awesome went, the game actually feels worse than the first, the inventory screen is just terrible.
 
I'd agree the first game had a better feel overall (with the 1.7 patch). The UI certainly brings TW2 down badly. Not as big a game world either if you count the main island is nearly empty for SP.....but lets not go there again :D
 
Well this doesn't sound good! Don't think ill bother getting it now. Why can't these developers make a s*** hot rpg anymore? I'm talking like morrowind, content and size! They need to stop pi***** about with fancy this and fancy that and just get some depth and atmosphere in there! Bo*****!

A post on Destructoid reports on accusations that TopWare threatened UK outlets with blacklisting over negative reviews of Two Worlds II, describing one instance where they pushed for score to be bumped up to 7/10. There's a follow-up on BeefJack where a TopWare rep explains that this is "all quite blown out of proportion," as it was a dispute over scoring systems, saying: "This is untrue, the only thing that was said is that a 7 is average in public eye and not a 5 – their scoring system is their scoring system and that is that. They are not blacklisted and no one asked them to increase their score.

" Big Download notes that TopWare's U.S. marketing head James Seaman made several comments in the Destructoid forums about this, including this: "My team needs to take a step back as the UK has been pretty harsh on our game, but such is life. I will make sure that nothing like this ever happens again, but some of my guys have put their heart and soul into this game and just need to take a step back." Moving forward, he also reveals that in spite of all this, they are working on the next Two Worlds game for release next year: "We are trying to do a better job every time and have brought in a brand new 3D modeling, animation and CG team for the next Two Worlds game coming out in 2012."
