Two Worlds (Xbox360)

[captain_nintendo]

I want to warn any RFGen member about the pitfalls of this game before they shell out the full price for it.

Story mode has frame rate issues, and the graphics aren't that great. There are some achievement bugs (from what I've heard) as well. The voice acting is horrid.

Online multi-player is great...... As long as you are playing by yourself You might be able to get another player into your game, but it will begin to lag after some gameplay. Forget about having more than 3 players.


I have heard that there is a patch for the game coming, and hopefully this will help the framrate issues. I've also heard that the reason for the laggy multi-player is because the server is in EU, but there is a US server being set-up (we'll see about that).


The game has potential, and I'd like to see what it can do (on the multi-player end) when and if they get a server over here.

This game is released tomorrow in Canada. I've had my eye on it for several months now. I knew when it was first unveiled that it would have problems. Few developers in the industry can pull off an Oblivion or Morrowind.

That being said I'm still very much looking forward to it as a nice hack 'n' slash ass around game. It'll only be the second Xbox 360 game I bought new this year and the only one between now and PGR4 in October, so hopefully it won't suck too badly.

Did you get the collector's edition or the regular?

Here are some maps and guides I found while browsing for info about patching.

Thanks for the info Cap. I've had this one on my radar as well.

Please keep us posted on how it plays after the patches are implemented.

I have been thinking about getting this just to play with all the people I play PSU with. It is either this or BioShock.

I'm addicted to this game.

Help me someone, please!

Hey Rated, welcome to RFGen


I must admit that even with the warts this game has, it is addicting.

I asked about it at EB Games yesterday and the girl working there said everyone saying it sucks ass. I said I know a bunch of jackasses playing it so I thought I would join them.

If you guys are playing on a regular basis let me know. I made an agreement a while back with Mrs Rated about having only one recurring online game fee at a time, so I may cancel my PSU pretty soon here. Really tired of the lack of GM support over there, and the last GM response to one of my posts really has me thinking.

I mean I'll need to get Xbox Live Gold as opposed to Silver.

Can Two Worlds be played online for free with a Silver Account?

No, Gold only 

Been playing this for about 3-4 hours now, have 11/41 achievements. Very addictive game. Think of Oblivion, with Morrowind's graphics. Cheesy dialog that can be very humorous sometimes. Awesome sound effects and ambient noise, character animations and effects like wind, dust and water.

Neat level up system that also allows for item stacking/merging and also a great teleport system. I've only done a few quests, spent most of my time wandering and exploring.

Does it have issues? Well nothing major or detracting from the experience. Some framerate chugging the odd time, a bit of pop-in of textures and some funky physics for bodies sometimes, but nothing so bad that it ruins the game at all.

I've only played as I said 3-4 hours so maybe I'm not seeing what everyone else is, but so far I'll give it a 8.5/10 because this is my type of game and the little annoyances don't bother me at all.
