Duo of Two Worlds DLC packs coming

by Justin McElroy { Feb 27th 2008 at 1:00PM }

We've got to hand it to SouthPeak, which is releasing two (count 'em) two DLC packs for the (by most accounts) truly bad Two Worlds. That's a crazy, Bridge on the River Kwai level of dedication that we can't even begin to comprehend.

If you're the sort that's interested (and please, please comment if you are) the packs will each add about 10 hours of gameplay with new multiplayer maps,new co-op quests and new player-versus-player challenges. Both will be 600 points, one pack is coming in March and one is coming in April. We trust most of you will be able to bear the wait just fine. Also, just so we're clear, we don't know if these DLC packs represent the expansion we heard about, or if both of you still have more to look forward to after April.

Double the suckage!

I liked the idea. From what I played it was enjoyable.. Defects aside and graphical hick ups don't bother me much. They attempted to put in a very large detailed field of view that wasn't blocked by a lot of trees or fog. The system couldn't handle it very well...

I only wish I wasn't misinformed into thinking your online and offline characters were going to be the same...

And online was a blast when it worked...

Mainly because we would take a few hundred taint roots and drop them all down in an area... Then surround them with traps..... Then when night came all the creatures would show up... The system would slow to snails pace explosions lots of dead and exp then we would all run into the remaining hordes of the undead and attempt to kill eveything... without wiping eachother out tooo frequently...

Maxathon @ Feb 27th 2008 4:45PM

lol@"hick up," which is so much more expressive of the problem with this game's graphics than you meant it to be...

NATO_Duke @ Feb 27th 2008 1:16PM

The game was mildly fun at points. I will probably dl at least one pack to see if they added some depth.

Kujel @ Feb 27th 2008 1:29PM

They should have made single player download content instead of this multi-player crap.

NATO_Duke @ Feb 27th 2008 1:51PM

I think it has sp additions too.

TehAdz @ Feb 27th 2008 1:41PM

Since you said the whole "If anyone's interested..." thing, I just had to register, and post my first coment.

This game doesn't suck. I liked it. I'm interested in DLC.

Hells yeah.

Jerk Face @ Feb 27th 2008 1:45PM

Welcome to the Stiq, pal.

TehAdz @ Feb 27th 2008 2:58PM

Thanks, Jerk Face and Korova. I've been lurking here for ages.. :P

Why the hell does everyone hate this game

Donald @ Feb 27th 2008 3:14PM

Because it tried to be as good as Oblivion and failed. It was a nice idea, Oblivion with some online thrown in, but the execution was horrible.

Goat Biscuit @ Feb 27th 2008 2:00PM

This game is terrible. Really, really, terrible. Well, that's my journalistic report.

PojoMofo @ Feb 27th 2008 2:39PM

I could not give two shits about two worlds. Im glad I didnt waste any hard earned money on this POS.

I would rather watch paint dry for 10 hours than play Two Worlds for 10 hours

Korova @ Feb 27th 2008 2:39PM

Yes, welcome, TehAdz.

Microswirl @ Feb 27th 2008 2:58PM

I really WANTED this game to be good. I had built it up in my head as Oblivion with multiplayer, which is what I wished Oblivion had been in the first place. Good thing I played the demo instead throwing away $60. Truly dissapointing.

Dan @ Feb 27th 2008 4:06PM

This was an interesting game. The online aspects were fun, but way too much lag. The single player game is tight, with a decent story, but mostly kill stuff, turn in quests and upgrade your character. It has an interesting way of upgrading gear, where you combine items that are the same which continually increases it's stats. For example if you combine two rusty knives with 10 attack, you combine them and get a rusty knife that does 12 or 13 attack, and add another and it's a rusty knife with 15 attack, and so on. Did I mention it's also pretty? I played the PC version. Personally, I enjoyed Gothic 3 more.

Zatch @ Feb 27th 2008 4:36PM

So does is this the DLC that makes the game not suck?

Starstew @ Feb 27th 2008 5:04PM

I liked the game and I've held onto it long after I finished it in hopes of DLC and patches. If they release single-player DLC, I'd grab it.

ComradeTrotskii @ Feb 27th 2008 6:08PM

Mayhap this will verily make this game not suck the balls of the shaved back monks forsooth!

BANDITS!

DJ Teknology @ Feb 27th 2008 6:23PM

The game is truly horrible. I can't believe they are charging money for the packs. They should be free, to apologize for the game.

Matthias @ Feb 27th 2008 6:45PM

Ridiculing Two Worlds seems to have become some sort of sport since its initial release. I can't really see where Two Worlds is so bad as some people claim it to be, compared to many titles on the 360 which offer much less in terms of content and technology and which surprisingly didn't receive such low scores.

I think it's a combination of US arrogance towards other countries (and their efforts in a domain dominated by US companies) and the admittedly completely stupid idea of SouthPeak to market this game as "Oblivion on steroids". You just can't do that period.

For my part though, I had fun with the game. I just thought the story telling sucks, but the gameplay was pretty good actually. And anyone saying this game has PS1 graphics should really just go shoot himself.

Rob Accomando @ Feb 27th 2008 7:42PM

This game is super addicting as you play more. The patch that came out a few months after release fixed SO may glitches. Screw all the haters!

PewPewLazors @ Feb 27th 2008 8:44PM

I played the demo for my decked out gaming PC. I was amused for a couple of hours, and actually had some fun. This until I realized that you end up fighting the same packs of wolves and cloned humanoids repeatedly. The soundtrack in and of itself was enough for me to hate the game. That damned "Searching for the true religion" loop was enough for me to want to strangle myself with my own entrails. The main character is an emotionless boor who speaks in the same tone of voice to every single person in the known universe, with very little in the way of text selection during dialogues. I could go on, but suffice to say that I was not impressed. I may purchase it if the gaming industry collapses and I need to search for something I havent completed yet in order to get my gaming fix, but before I do that I'll go through the horror that was FFX all over again to spare myself the pain.

Miko @ Feb 28th 2008 10:45AM

I didn't think it was too bad. Nothing spectacular, but frankly I thought it was somewhat better than the bonecrushingly disappointing Oblivion.

twokegger @ Feb 28th 2008 1:46PM

Sorry, haters... I liked Two Worlds. Could it have been better? Yes. Does that mean that it is the worst thing ever to be put on a 360 DVD? No. The single player was fun - Especially when you did things like cast lightning storms on fire-skeletons and kill 20 at a time.

Mike @ Feb 28th 2008 2:37PM

I might be alone here but I really liked 2Worlds aside from the framerate issues. Southpeak WILL be getting my hard earned cash for the DLC.

DrunkPenguin @ Feb 29th 2008 11:16AM

After I got through the control issues and the first ten hours of gameplay, constantly running away from wolves, I fell in love with this game. Yeah, it certainly isn't perfect, but what game is really. I was going to sell it back after I beat it but when I heard about the DLC all those months ago I held onto it eagerly awaiting a chance to get back into the game. The only thing I really hate was that the first patch ruined my Necromancer Lightning spell. Other than that I love this game and will buy any SP additions they want to sell me.

neoxbomb @ Apr 6th 2008 5:41PM

After playing it and dying a lot in the beginning the game gets really good once you start leveling up. I had a good time with the game. I just wish it had some single player dlc... and the ability to keep playing the game after finishing it. Two Worlds was fun.
