Are the first two worth any attention for me as a huge gothic fan? They've been lurking in my gog library for some time and ive been thinking about giving them a spin.

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Not really. They're sorta bland but relatively competent? Best thing I can say about 2W2 is that it's "better than Risen 2 and 3".

Take that praise as you will.

They really didn't stop to consider any sequel potential when they came up with the title of the first game, did they?

I was trying to work out how to describe TW2, and then it hit me. Oblivion using Divinity 2 technology and artists, but with none of the good bits of either.

I'd actually recommend Risen 2-3 over Two Worlds 1-2. In my opinion, Risen's combat system is better (or rather sucks less) and they still kind of have a bit of the Gothic flair in dialogues. TW doesn't really feel like it has any positives to make up for the bad/mediocre parts.

The first 2W was fun, especially the loot system.

It really was. Two Worlds was one of the best games to play when listening to a podcast. You don't want to think, you just want to play something that lets you kill things while listening to something else. The loot system made looting actually mean something (besides getting stuff to sell for gold), because you could combine multiple copies of the same item together to make a better one.

The graphics were also really good for the time, much better than Oblivion's at any rate. The writing and voice acting were really shit though.

You can't compare it to Gothic, it is much worse than Gothic 1-3... but it is better than Gothic 4. That's probably not saying much.

I couldn't get into Two Worlds 2.

Well, this is fair. I actually completed R2 and R3, unlike TW games.

How desperate are you?

If all you care about is killing stuff, loot, and the whole Skinner box aspect, regardless of how the systems work or feel, then go for it.

What? How? :retarded:
Regular 90% discounts just about everywhere. Hey, look, it's on sale right now. I can't explain the awards part, though.

IIRC, it used to be in vogue on the Codex to mock CD Projekt for their pretension about The Witcher when a no-name shovelware dev like Reality Pump was moving about as many copies as they were. No longer relevant after Witcher 3 of course.

I liked first Two Worlds. It had huge, pretty and varied world that was fun to explore and actually felt hand crafted with loads of cool shit to discover, and its gameplay was completely broken in a way that would probably trigger bunch of devoted RPG fans around here, but it made it more fun for me (like how player could infinitely keep combining aror pieces and weapons for same type).

Color me surprised. There was info about TW3 when it was almost imminently canned, due to publisher bankruptcy.
Played TW1, was fun to collect stuff, bash stuff and combining stuff (items and spells).
Tried TW2 three times, two times clean and once with Worldmerge mod. Managed to beat tutorial once. Never went back again.

Believe or not, it have better combat than Twitcher 1 and 2 (didn't played Wild Hunt).

PS. new EARTH 21xx plz

I tried playing the first game. For 24 minutes. Some things that were excusable in a game from 2001 are not excusable in a game from 2007.
We need darker screenshots.
We want the Souls audience.

I've only played tw2, and the best thing about that game was the totally underused savanna environment. Felt refreshing and different than the same ol hills and meadows we see in most games.
