It's on sale on Steam for $25 and I'd like a good co-op rpg to play that isn't Borderlands. I always hear mixed things about Two Worlds II so I can't take the plunge just yet.

[HoonDing]

It's a decent open-world game with enough variety in environments, enemies and quests to keep it interesting for two chapters. After that, though, it becomes pretty stale. The developers tried to make the game more story-driven compared to the first game, and it didn't exactly work out. The first game is better with a much bigger world, more enemies to kill and more loot to collect.

I haven't tried multiplayer.

I disagree with virumor, the story actually gets even more better when you enter The Swamp known as Tir Geal (I believe this is Chapter 3) which has one of the richest and detailed backgrounds for an area that I have ever seen in an RPG (there's literally 30 pages of its history that you can read in two diaries).

Two Worlds 1 had a bigger world but Two Worlds 2 has better quests, better combat and more atmospheric places to explore (The Swallows, Tir Geal are the best examples I can think of here).

The multiplayer is separate from the main game, though I hear you get to explore Eirkonas which can't be reached in single player. (Well, technically, it can but you can only explore certain parts). There's also a village building multiplayer component and I hear people enjoy the multiplayer but I haven't played it.

I liked Two Worlds 2 better, personally. The story is pretty weak, let's face it, but the open world environment is great, you can ride a horse (yay!), and the scenery varies quite a bit. Although how can you not enjoy the PC's (godawful) voice, with all the "Mayhap. Mayhap indeed" in the first one?

I absolutely LOVED the TW2 multiplayer, but there are only like 8 maps/quests for it. Granted, they're decent-sized, but after a while, you get kind of bored with them, which I did. If they came out with more maps, I'd be all over it.

The biggest thing is to accept that the game doesn't take itself that seriously, which means you probably shouldn't, either.

Thanks everyone. I'm definitely interested in the multiplayer sounds interesting I don't expect an amazing story and since I want it mostly for co-op I just want a game to screw around in with a friend.

As someone who bought this on a previous Steam sale...its the only game I bought in that fashion that I really regretted. The story is terrible, the characters are unlikable (including you) and your sister dresses awkwardly ****ty. (a dozen times worse than any Bethany complaints)

But what I hated most was the interface. Its so overly consolized its absolutely painful on a PC. Everything is oversized and unwieldly and just made it painful to play. I haven't tried multiplayer at all, but the interface and controls left me uninclined to try.

It really needs to be closer to $15 to make a passable impulse buy. Which is a shame because at least conceptually, there's some good concepts mixed in there. Just not done well.

Thanks, Jack, shoot me down. Hehe, j/k. 

I guess I should have thrown in the disclaimer that I play it on XBox 360... I don't have any experience with it on PC, so I really couldn't comment.

If you were playing on XBox or PS3, I could offer lots of good co-op ideas, but for PC, I have none.

Can't stand a bad UI. Like I said I saw it on Steam so PC version is what concerns me Daiz : /

[happy_daiz]

Sorry about that. I think I glazed right past the part where it said "Steam".

I actually just looked at that site for the first time about 15 minutes ago, out of curiosity. Sure enough, it was immediately apparent that it was not for console users.

Heh sorry Happy I figured I'd give the PC players take on the game. I knew you played it on console and I'd imagine the interface would be passable there.

Steam is basically the PlaystationNetwork/XBox Live for PC users. Some great bargains on there if you're a PC gamer.

I'm glad you did; I hate to give out bad advice! And I'm sure the OP appreciates it as well.

If it's as good as Two Worlds, Stay away.

I bought the collector's edition for the 360.

My worst gaming purchase in my entire history of gaming, and this coming from the guy that bought Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing.

[happy_daiz]

Aww, it had its moments. You did have to give it some time, though.

"Hey, a horse! Cool! I can ride it!? Awesome!"

*five minutes later*

"Wow, this horse. It does not turn."

[Cutlass Jack]

I think it was attemting to ride the horse on the PC that finally made me toss the game in the corner in disgust. It actually made horse riding in Oblivion look good.

I never could understand games that make horse riding work on completely different controls than walking. MMORPGs can figure this out just fine, but not single player rpgs.

LOL that's because you had to ditch the heavy horse you start with, and get a really expensive one that had been trained to turn. OK, I kid.

Well, fair is fair. I gave it to my little brother.


(Apparently he hasn't played it. His game history on XBL says he hasn't, anyway. )

Two Worlds II is okay. The environments (especially water) are beautiful but the character models are pretty bad. The voice acting is unintentionally funny too. Its like watching a badly dubbed movie.

You just saved my September fun money.  Thank you.

I forgot about the character models. As an artist, this probably is more noticable to me than other people, but everyones arms were too short for their bodies. I found it really distracting.

I must agree about the voice acting, but it didn't bother me so much. Like you said, it was unintentionally funny. The environments themselves did look great though.

Hah. Just noticed Two Worlds II is mocking me today by releasing a Pirate themed expansion.


Doubly funny, the DLC includes Horse armor.

I saw that a little earlier. Wasn't sure if I should mention it or not.  

That would have been slightly better if it had been released yesterday!

And btw, what a terrible website.

Yeah I just loaded up Steam to buy the Lonesome Road DLC when I spotted it. Very funny. And yes a day late.

The horse armor's purpose is so that your horse doesn't have to move at all, let alone turn.
