Two Worlds is (apparently) the most epic RPG ever

What's that? How do we know it will be the most epic RPG of all time? Well ... it says it. In print. And if you put lies in print, you go to jail. Everybody knows that. Listen, could you keep it down? We're trying to pre-order here.

It actually might be a cool game. I might pick it up just for the multiplayer option.
I also wish there was a light RPG (ala Diablo) for XBLA.

Combat looks TONS better than Oblivion. If that turns out to be true, its a purchase. I hate the combat in Oblivion.
vidGuy @ Jun 29th 2007 1:55PM
Meh, it's still not on my radar, though at least now I know its name. I mean, "mounted combat", that is so epic and new! **rolls eyes**

Preorder? PREORDER?!?!?!? Why, that's the biggest scam of them all!!! Screw Gamestop and every other retailer that offers to hold your money so they can set aside a copy of a game for you later. That is the biggest injustice EVAR!!!!!!1!!!!!11

How do you measure Epicness?
Justin @ Jun 29th 2007 2:34PM
The graphics arent that good.
poprocker @ Jun 29th 2007 2:36PM
Hells Yeah!!! Can't wait!
booger @ Jun 29th 2007 2:43PM

It looks decent. I read some hands-on of the game from someone who got to play about 20 hours of it. They said it was fun but had a lot of issues, most revolving around balance. There were apparently ways to very quickly and easily hone your character into an indestructible force. Hopefully those get resolved in time for the launch.
The graphics are okay for a game of that size and epicness ;) I mean, Oblivion didn't look THAT much better graphically.
I'm going to rent this game. If it is fun I may buy it. The developers have claimed the world is larger than Oblivion, has more sidequests, more dungeons, and more varying gameplay and missions. They also claim to have added a lot of humor. We'll see.

@5 I remember back in the good old days Electronics Boutique used to hold/put aside games for you (me) for FREE. They also sold Amiga computers. Boy, times have changed.
OrganicShadow @ Jun 29th 2007 4:03PM
I've heard nothing but bad about this game. Watch the gameplay videos. Nothing but people twirling weapons around like ribbin dancers. The spell casting looks lame, and in many ways it all seems BEHIND Oblivion as far as how much it offers.
polly @ Jun 29th 2007 3:14PM
@Scumdog,
When's the last time you wanted a game that wasn't readily available at any other electronics store the day it came out? Preorders are stupid and primarily for people who like to go on the internet and brag how they already have their copy of some new kickass game reserved.

I'm getting it to play with friend/s, but I'm not sure if *anyone* could play it and say it was the most epic game ever. Some people do, however, feel the game will be the sleeper hit of 2007. And by coming out against Too Human, Blue Dragon, and BioShock, it just might have that sleeper part to it.
Beaudry @ Jun 29th 2007 3:26PM
Knowledge has most certainly been dropped.
I wasn't so sure that this game was going to be all that epic, but why would Topware Interactive lie to me? Lucky for me that I read this because it will surely change the order of my "epicRPG.xls" spreadsheet.

hahahha awesome blog Justin M
that had me actually lol'ing on my computer...by myself..
...thanks.

The international release was awful. They better have used those two or three months very wisely to balance, bug-fix, and tune this turd.
Klopzi @ Jun 29th 2007 3:57PM
I'm gonna play the game, but the graphics look a little weak right now. This game brings to mind Arx Fatalis which was touted as one of the greatest RPGs ever, but was easily one of the worst games I've played.
Arx smelled low-budget and Two Worlds gives off that same vibe...
Still, I'll be picking up my copy after I've finished with BioShock, Mass Effect, Half-Life 2, and GTA IV...
Grendel Pr1me @ Jun 29th 2007 4:28PM
If by Epic they mean free horse armor out of the blocks, then yes. They have officially met their epic quota.
Jay @ Jun 29th 2007 4:51PM
I dunno why, but that logo layout looks very familiar. Like ive seen it from an MMORPG or something.
.. Must be just my eyes.
Deuxhero @ Jul 5th 2007 8:33PM
hmm, maby it should copy one of the GOOD Elder Scrolls games, not the one that gave you less freedom then the original Rockman.
jds @ Jun 29th 2007 5:28PM
Off topic: Anyone else think GameVideos sucks ass? It takes about 12 years to buffer anything.
Jonathan Harford @ Jun 29th 2007 6:59PM
Wow. They really love that stock “electric zap&rdqou; sound effect.
Chiablo @ Jun 29th 2007 7:23PM
Played it on PC. The best part of the whole game was the uninstall screen.
The character models, animation, lip sync, and just about everything else graphically are horrendous. I do have to say that the gameplay matches the graphics perfectly: craptacular.
Ed @ Jun 29th 2007 7:46PM
joystiq seems to attract a lot of guys from the future seeing as how most of them KNOW this game will be terrible
Kaz and Huma @ Jun 29th 2007 8:49PM
Western RPGs are pure garbage. They need to go away.
Donau @ Jun 29th 2007 10:44PM
I think it already out in UK, I mean c'mon there website says they have already released patches.... how do you patch a game that isn't even out? Unless...
Doctor Who, will you please bring me Bioshock and Mass Effect; I would be ever so grateful!
jbarad @ Jun 30th 2007 1:41AM
I'll never trust another RPG that claims to be the "most epic" after Fable. Man was that a load.
You could change your hairstyle though. If this game doesn't have that, how can it be the most epic?
guidedbyvoip @ Jun 30th 2007 4:26PM
Don't push this crap. The story? Has anybody heard what the story is? Hmm. I didn't think so. Any RPG gamer will tell you what Fallout is about, but dime-a-dozen Fantasy RPG that use stacked spells as selling bullet-points can stay in the bargain bin.
Ugh. I'll stay oh-so-very-content with Overlord. Thanks.

nice plant Jake! Now get back on your knees!

Preorders serve one main purpose: to gauge how many copies to order so that copies ARE readily available for those who have not preordered. It's simple really: if I have 10 preorders, I'll order 20. That way no one comes to the store and cries me a river because he drove 30 minutes in the traffic just to get that particular game at my store because he's a loyal customer blah blah blah. I say PREORDER, fools.
Basheron @ Jul 3rd 2007 12:19AM
I think Japanese RPGs have to go. Way to many half-naked femminine boys running around with gelled hair crying about their inadequacies. I STILL love Oblivion, but this game looks like crap. The logo is screaming of another epic western MMO...hm...

This is the most dissapointing game that i have bought in a long time, possible due to the fact i had it sent over from europe. This looks like it has been made by a class of preschool children. The graphics are terrible even at max, the characters are ridiculously unrealistic and look like they are from the original might and magic. The fighting is SO boring and gammy to control. The textures look as if they will fall off the items due to all the bump on them and the character animations look like epileptic fits. DO NOT GET ME STARTED ON THE VOICE ACTING, I MUTED THE SOUND AND TALKED THE SUBTITLES MYSELF, Thats how bad this game is!!! If i was a pirate i would not even download this game illegally and also i would make it walk the plank !!!! WORST GAME OF THE YEAR
