Two Worlds Sucks


So I am going to start this blog off on a negative note which will hopefully not set the tone for the rest of what is to be written. But I just have to bitch about one of the most ridiculous games that I have ever played--Two Worlds. I try to give games a fair chance, especially RPGs, a genre of games that is near and dear to my heart, but I simply couldn't get past the atrocious voice acting and the even more atrocious dialogue that filled what seemed a vast expanse of unnecessary cut scenes in Two Worlds.

Don't be fooled (like me) by the impressive appearance of screenshots that were released as eye candy to get the unsuspecting consumer to think, "Hmm. I know that people don't think too highly of the game, but I really want to play a game on my brand new Xbox360 that involves a good character editor that enables you to role-play as some hero that is uniquely your own." Unfortunately, Two Worlds does not do this--the character editor is mediocre. Along with the robotic voice acting and silly pseudo-medieval bad renaissance faire language that the game is inundated with, I was left feeling that this character I had created was just some chode that I could care less about.

Too bad there is going to be another release of the game. Apparently the SouthPeak feels that they can dupe enough customers to buy their expansion:

You weren't the only one who suffered from the bad voice acting. I, too, was forced to listen to them!
