Looks like only few are playing. Is it that bad or what? I'm still looking forward to this game.

Oblivion alive enough to kill?

Another Tuesday, another IGN update. This time they are detailing the magic system.
There are five schools of magic in the game, but necromancy is not available from the start (it comes with the story, and the player decides if it´ll be available):

I am so ****ing pumped for this game. The day I get the last components to my new rig is the day I get this game. Some of the art is pretty awful but there is some decent looking stuff in there and the animation is very :\ but the online co/op ****ing sold me. This looks like it will beat Hellgate to being the next pseudo Diablo sequel.

I played the pc version a bit at a friends house (i'm holding out for the 360 version) and from what little I've played I was pleasantly surprised. To be honest it did feel very much like Oblivion, but i'm sure that's just due to limited time with the game. Graphics were nice, but i did notice a lot of glitches and inconsistencies, like houses without doors, chains to a gate kinda disappearing into the wall, small stuff like that. I liked the battlesystem a lot though. It's nothing special, but it worked way better than Oblivion's clunky hack 'n slash system. It should be a nice diversion till the big guns like Bioshock and Mass Effect come out.
I find it very strange that only German-speaking people are online then. I spent about an hour trying out servers, and I never found a single English speaking person.Hammer24 said:It has been #1 on the PC charts of a couple of european countries - but whatever, let´s wait for the ww 360 release, and the XBL RPG crowd.

Can anyone give an overview of the multiplayer? How many players does it support? Are there a small, limited number of quests, or can you pretty much explore the whole world that is in the single player? I'd like to hear a lot more about that aspect of the game.
I never tried the PC version. But on the english board of the official forum, there are a couple discussions about the mp.

Thanks for the link. Sounds like MP is not all that compelling actually. It says the game can support up to 8 people, but there are a lot of reports of bad lag after 3 people are playing together. Character race in MP is limited to human or elf, but you can be male or female.
Reports are that the MP maps are small and offer 3-5 quests on each map before unlocking another one and moving on to the next section. There are roughly 4 or 5 sections with 3-5 quests each.
One person even commented that you can reach the max level of 30 very quickly.
Hmm...
Let´s get the bad news out of the way first: I got word, that the US release has been postponed another two weeks to the first week of august. The EU release still stands at mid-July.
But now to something completely different... another IGN Tuesday update is in, this time regarding the alchemy system.
For those who want a headstart, here are a couple of recipes:
Wizard's Friend
Ingredients:
2 Lavender shoots
1 Nothern Frostroot
Result:
Permanently increases your Willpower by 1, and your mana points by 20.
Fire Brand
Ingredients:
1 Sulphur
1 Amber
1 Ruby
2 Topaz
Result:
Creates a gem that, when combined with a weapon, will deal fire damage equal to 50% of the weapon damage.
Big Buff Buffet
Ingredients:
1 Wolf Heart
1 Bear Claw
1 Zombie Thyroid
1 Boletus Mushroom
Result:
In addition to healing 20 hit points of damage, this potion increases your Vitality by +16, your Strength by +10, and makes you immune to poison. All these effects, other than the healing, last for five minutes.

I wish they would release concrete info on a 360 release. One of my most wanted games. A friend has it on pc and it's a wicked game.

Thinks the Evil Empire is just misunderstood.
We have an exclusive new trailer for Two Worlds up at GameVideos.

Release it! I want the damn game.
Instead of giving another Two Woorlds tuesday update, IGN gave deatils for the contents of the Collectors edition in NA:
"The package will come in a holographic slipcase and includes a slew of the usual bonus items and content, such as
A map of the game world; a 72-page full-color, pen and paper RPG book; a second disc with bonus music and videos; a web kit with content for fansite creation.
The 360 version will include a 48-hour trial of the Xbox Live Gold service, and the PC will feature exclusive, unlockable in-game items.
For reasons that may always be a mystery, the Xbox 360 version of the Two Worlds Collector's Edition will cost $10 more than the PC ($69.99 and $59.99, respectively)."
Which basically means - no t-shirt for you americans...
But the good thing is, no more delays, it´ll be out soon!

****ing August, though! That's not "soon", it's "soonish".
I'm curious about the highlighted part.

We hope. Nothing official yet. I wouldn't even trust anyone involved with the game. They have had so many 'official' release date announcments on their site its like a joke we arent getting.

Well if the pc version is anything to go by the game is, in fact, quite bad. Lots of gamebreaking bugs, crap fighting system and nothing feels polished, the whole game is still beta.
IF they can turn it around on the 360 it could at tops be an ok game to kill some time with but comparing it to Oblivion is kind of stupid.
If feels just like an german oblivion copy and Reality Pump being polish and all I guess it's pretty much the same. I have no faith at all that these devs will be able to turn this game around with the limited time from PC release to 360 but if they do props to them.
Just don't get your hopes up.

I'd say unanimity is ridiculously (rightly, inevitably) difficult to find. In fact, I'd say a whole lot of the emotional and (dubiously) intellectual energy expended on GAF directly contradicts this assertion.
I figure this won't be out in Australia for ages - and when it does arrive, it will be in amazingly competitive company (c'mon 360 AAA games). Is the story as substantial / involving as they claimed ? It looks, at any rate, to have slightly cooler monsters than Oblivion.
The bugs and polish are fine now with the 1.4 patch. The fighting system is still far too simplistic and boring for my tastes though. My main problem with the game.jakershaker said:

Story is on the same level as that in Oblivion. That is, you won't give a crap about the story. It's just an excuse to do some fightin'.
Kabouter said:
Tastes are different. Personally I prefer diabloesque hack´n´slay over a ninjagaidenesque combo fighting system in my WRPG´s.
As long as the monsters/enemies/tasks are somewhat cool/interesting/challenging and I get enough freedom to explore a wide variety of landscapes, I´m fine.
Still, it´ll be nice to get a MP to try out.

Over here in the UK GAME have exclusive rights to sell the collector's edition. I have it ordered with them. They are stating 20th of July but I never take retailers claims as definate.
Storyline isn't deep, nor does it really affect the gameworld that much. Not more so than in other WRPG's. It is however a very solid single-player experience
. Nice varied world to explore and the storyline is efficient in getting you to most major places in the game. Though I suggest you stray from paths a little to find smaller villages and such for some quests

Heres hoping it sticks to end of august this time. though its a bad time to head out with bio-shock and blue dragon rolling too.
Lonesome_Raod said:
I´m optimistic that its qualities will help it to grow some legs...
Anyhow, time for some updates:
- IGN had two more "2W-Tuesdays": they gave some info about the reputation system and a "Bastiary". Because some would like tu bully the dragons of the game, here´s some info:
- GamesIndustry is talking about 2W being demoed at Comic Con in San Diego from July 26th-29th. Anyone there to check it out?
I completely forgot about this game lately, even though Im really hanging for it. PlayAsia has it listed for August 07 with no more information than that, so Im guess its definitely an August game. Too bad for them Bioshock is also August.... very different market though I guess.
