Oh man, Two Worlds! I always called Two Worlds the B movies of video games, somehow awful and yet fun and endearing at the same time. I absolutely love these games.
My friend wrangled me in to promoting an early version of Two Worlds 2 at E3, doing interviews etc. Getting to mess around in the sandbox (so I was passingly familiar with the game) was actually fun and spawned my signature Anvil Tornado which became a hit amongst the crew. Hadn't tried Baboon Umbrella but in my defense, baboons were in short supply.
I don't understand why so many games decided to have interact and jump on the same button... Playing Dragon Age Inquisition and Final Fantasy 15 taught me that to interact with stuff, you have to run up to it, stand there for a little while to let the game catch on to what you are trying to do, and THEN it's a 50/50 shot of it actually working!
@@maboilaurence8227 If it was once or twice during a playthrough i have to do it, sure... But when you need to repeat an action hundreds of times over hundreds of hours of gameplay, just to not be annoyed at a stupid design choice, it honestly got to me MORE than many of the other issues i have with the game. I can handle bad characters, bad writing, and a bad story, but it's the physical gameplay annoyances that most often puts me off with a game, especially when rebinding controls doesn't help...
@@skynet0912 I'm the opposite, I can go through every single gameplay element if the writing and characters are engaging enough, and that was where I drew the line with that damn game. I really didn't like it.
Controllers. When you only have 4 buttons, two of which are for attacks, you put interact, sneak, jump, sprint, vault, backstab and take cover on the same key. Some at least have different actions on pressing and holding the button, but many don't.
You forgot the best part about the magic system: you can get such outrageous spells that you can one shot the final boss... EXCEPT the boss is supposed to be killed using a ballista, so you hard lock yourself in the arena.
One thing both Two Worlds got right i think is the Magic systems, it seems like so much more effort went into that one system compared to anything else
I recall cheesing the magic system with summon skeletons; it was so long ago, but I think you had some kind of limitation on summoning and I found a way to break it so I could just stack summons, basically cheesed the whole game with an army of skeletons. It was excessively overpowered. Honestly this is one of those so bad it's good games, and I love it.
@@lunasakara7306 You're actually pretty free to make whatever kind of spell you want in Two Worlds Two, the Spell System in this game is The absolute greatest out of all games... You can summon an army. Wish I could say the same about other aspects of the game though.
@@lunasakara7306 I put summons on a rock and just spammed it. the way to exploit it and never be in combat was great, no clue why they even made melee a thing.
The skeleton at the beginning running away saying, “I can’t believe it, he kicked me in the bullocks!” had me laughing so hard I completely missed the next 2 or 3 minutes of you explaining what the game was actually about! 😂😂😂
One time I locked myself from the Mainquest and I can`t leave the first Island storywise. So I made a "Walk on Water Potion" and walked all the way over the sea to the next Island, to complete sidequests.
"How about I hug your head with my thighs?" Don't threaten me with a good time. Also nothing will quite beat the first NPC you meet in Two Worlds 1, who has a tiny head compared to the rest of his body, and laughing for a full five minutes before regaining enough composure to continue.
Two Worlds 2, a game so bad it's an unforgettable masterpiece that I still remember playing when it came out. I bought it because I had a feeling it was bad, after playing the first game... but it surpassed my expectations for low quality fun. 11/10 deserves a remaster.
I know the game has a lot of jank but I still say that the game is really solid.. the best magic system in any game ever, some really nice artstyle and various and different environments with all unique tones, music and enemies and animals, some funny writing and characters, a really large number of different types of enemies, some fun minigames and side activities, etc.. yeah, a player can have a ton of fun with this game if he isn't of course expecting a game with AAA size budget
Two Worlds II is a broken game... with an amazing magic system, a map filled with unintentional points of exploration, and tons of charm. It actually lured me away from Skyrim. I loved playing it, but realize most probably wouldn't.
Playing two worlds 2 i very often laughed at how bad it is, but found myself just as often kind of impressed by what it does. You cant deny its got a creative magic system.
If you want a clunky follow-up, there's "Raven's Cry" (or rather "Vendetta: Curse of the Raven's Cry") from the same developer. Running on the same engine as TW2, but far more buggy, with horrible main character, far more limited world, but also with surprisingly fun naval combat system.
While obviously clunky, due to its age, this actually seems like a remarkable game! No sarcasm. I genuinely find it to have more good points than bad. Granted, this is the first I'm seeing of it, but the very fact that the game doesn't take itself too seriously like some of the newer and cornier franchises out there, is enough for me to appreciate it!
As goofy as these games are and how much people like to make fun of them. These games are genuinely a lot of fun, and I'd recommend anyone to play at TW2 at least once. The first one is pretty rough but if you're committed it's worth a run as well.
You should check out Divinity 2: Ego Draconis. its basically like this game and came out around the same time, except you can read the minds of any npc u can talk to, see ghosts and oh yeah, turn into a f*cking dragon!! :D
Fun game! Played it while going through Larian back catalog, it truly makes you wish for them to make another game in that genre/style. Only wish there was more than one ghost model
The best eurojank video game in my opinion and bought it the same year it was released but it's a shame I didn't play the dlc until two years nearly 3 years ago.
I finished this game, back in my Let's Play days. I've played much worse, and enjoyed it for the most part. The ending boss fight was not good - basically removing the importance of a games-worth of character building by having you fight a dragon at distance with balistae. But yes, that magic system was incredible.
Two Worlds two is one of my favorite games. It is so CAMP! but that is what makes it so charming. ;) The alchemy and magic systems are actually so much fun!
Yeah, the magic system in both games, but, just like you've said, especially in the second is amazing. I don't get why it isn't used in more RPGs. I understand it's a pain in the ass to pull off from a development perspective, but DAMN would it be good to have this "spell-crafting"/"magic-crafting" system in more RPGs, especially where there already is a system similar in complexity to this, e.g. alchemy/crafting/etc usual stuff; it wouldn't be too hard to implement this as well. Balance is another question, obvuiosly, but come on, still. Besides TW and TW2, there are MAAAAYYYYBBBEEEE a handful of AA/AAA games where I've seen similar systems?
In a way stuff like that is devolving. Just look at enchaning and magic in Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim. Each game giving the player less freedom and less wacky results.
Two Worlds II always reminded me of Gothic on crack, with a bit of Ketamine at times, but the adaptability of the magic and the total lulz playing it made it so adorable.
I remember spawning a boat with the console commands on the 360 (yes, console commands on a console game) and sailing around the main island in a hope that I could explore it. Sadly there were only a few secrets to find on the massive landmass, but it was so memorable to me because it was probably the most chill moment I've ever had in a game outside of something like Minecraft.
I sailed around the ENTIRE map! That took forever... and many points you couldn't access (although there were glitches to get ashore)... but between the magic and the exploration I was sold on the game 100%. My favorite "broken" game of all time.
@@kaipacifica1289 you can definitely tell they planned on doing something with the main island considering it's size. Shame it didn't come to fruition, especially when considering the cool open world they had in the first game.
As someone who plays a mage or mage adjacent role in every game where it's possible, this is one of my favourite games. Going for the plat I ended up with insanely OP spells that basically made me a god. Wish more games would allow me to be that OP as a mage.
I played through the first game twice just because the german voice actor was amazing. No matter the situation, him commenting on it always made it funny.
I was 10 or 11 when I got two worlds, I loved the game, I guess I was too young to really notice a lot of its issues, I spent countless hours building up magic skills you could stack limitlessly, on the online coop mode. Good times.
Two Worlds was my first Xbox 360 game cause i was a kid and had no money after buying the console, got it for 10€ and loved it, its a solid RPG even tho it feels cheap. Story is solid. TW2 is more of the same, just dumb fun, but i enjoyed it.
Honestly two worlds 2 was one of the best rpgs ive ever had the luck to play. And thats not due to insanely good gameplay or the mainstory (which is garbage) but the sidequests and the dialogues.
Aye, I remember being actually impressed by multiple writing moments in TW 2. Like the Merchant's Guild quest where one of them has been breeding various Savannah beasts and monsters in his basement to corner the alchemy ingredient market by production scale until he messed up and let one out by accident. And then, upon the protag revealing this, to the guild the merchant's colleagues just applaud him for it and openly discuss how this will help them completely cut out the hunters from the market and maximize profits. Or the moment in the main quest where Master Dattan uses the dragon tooth you retrieve to literally animate the Verita-crystals into Golems which will absolutely obliterate Gandohar's mining operations not judt in Hatmandor but in all of Erimos. Hah, try mining already dangerous magical crystals that _hit back_ and are way beyond any basic soldier squad's capability to destroy. 🤣
@@RuSosan or the mazes there "allways left or allways right" cheese strategy at a certain point doest work anymore due to a seperated square in the middle so you had to break that pattern to actually do the labyrinth. and the third act was so full of crazy funny shit the npc's requested, it was a bliss to just watch, learn and enjoy. tbh i cant remember much of the mainstory and the first dlc. then 2nd dlc came years later, i was just finished with the game 1 or 2 years later but i was so totally out of the mainstory that i wasnt able to get into it again. then i found an automobile park in a spring and i lost interest.
I remember people were mad that a lot of content was locked behind multiplayer - like ~50% of the world map or more... there is a mod that brings MP stuff to singleplayer (Worldmerge) but you have to get old version of TW2. Best bet is get it on GOG and downgrade via GOG Galaxy then disable autoupdates. TW2 was nice, but after desert it was getting more empty and hollow. TBH I never liked Beth games and spend more time with TW1 than Oblivion. But that's me.
Aa a kid in school, this looked quite impressive back then. I played it more seriously than I should have. Sadly, I had technical issues with the hard drive and lost the save, I lost another save file and never completed it.
I remember getting the horse, promptly losing it and never being able to figure out how to get it back. Not that it would have helped much past the first island. Glad to hear it seems to be a feature. Did you kn ow they released a full expansion pack for the game like ten years after release? I still haven't finished that one.
I got a bunch of cracked ribs from an accident and that bit with the music not starting up and the coughs made me almost literally die. I can't. aashdkahs
When I played the game in 2010 I was stunned by the graphics, especially of the fields and sea. This game came out before Skyrim, and for some visuals it was superior to Skyrim. And from second act the plot was interesting too. Playing as fighter was imbalanced as it could be. From one strike enemies were flying to the skies.
You made me laugh to tears! I love your content and sense of humor, even though I havent played many of the games you overview here. You are doing great work of entertaining people :D
I love how they spent 90% of the budget on the sountrack in the main menu, seriously though, I love this game it will be always a nice childhood memory
I loved to mix existing magic potions to get crazy effects. I loved 10 times my max mana potion which poisioned me. Blue alcohol potion..... and let me jump high.
Will you ever look at Reality Pump's "Vendetta: Curse of Raven's Cry," their attempt at an open-world pirate RPG? The tragedy is that it ALMOST works, and actually has some neat elements, as well as some decently designed period cities. Sadly, the actual gameplay is still utter shite, pirating/sailing feels completely unfinished, and its nonstop grimdarkness wraps around to be hilarious. (On a happier note, I recently discovered a PS3/PC B-tier ARPG called "Venetica" which I actually enjoyed a lot. It was super charming despite its high levels of jank.)
Would you consider making a video on Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning? It's a pretty decent RPG with a fun combat system. It is somewhat underrated as it was released only a few months after Skyrim and was overshadowed by it.
I didnt like that game it felt like an offline mmo with one player (you) and combat was so repetitive but I guess it's no biggie if u compare it to other button mashers
The only time i played this game i fucked around with the magic, then i made 50 waterwalking potions and ran across the sea to another continent with some kind of evil citadel, possibly being the final boss area but that's all i remember now.
I never got into the sequel much, but when I was younger and first played the game on 360, I actually loved it quite a lot despite its obvious flaws. It's harder getting into it now, though I was happy to get a free copy from some site mentioned (of all places) in the Steam News section for another game I owned. The few times I've been in the mood to try to replay it, I've had technical issues preventing me from really playing it. Like how the audio just completely cut out when I was barely 10% of the way through the game, leaving only music at best. Or more recently when I tried to play it a couple years back or so and the game just wouldn't let me start a new save. Probably for the best. It's an interesting series, but it's far from a quality experience. You have to enjoy some of its strange features and presentation to really want to play it, because the quality is bordering on "The Room" levels of bad. Truthfully, I do not want another sequel because I am not likely to play it and if we're being entirely honest, I think the developers, while hardworking and creative, don't have much business making games to begin with. They should just be glad they made two games that are quirky enough to be entertaining and call it quits. It's the same thing with Bethesda. They have some level of talent, sure, but they're also highly incompetent and have only devolved over the years. Even had they not, their consistently lacking technical quality makes their games as miserable as they are fun and while some people have overlooked it for a long time, I got sick of it before they even released Fallout 76 and started to get really angry at them. These days when I buy a game, I expect it to work nigh-flawlessly. Even Baldur's Gate 3, which is by no means a bad game and certainly deserves a lot of the praise it gets, pissed me off to no end with its constant crashing. You simply cannot enjoy a game you can't play, no matter how good it is. People really need to demand better from the industry. Even "indie" developers should not get a free pass.
Ferreal, though?.....the music at 1:50 actually kinda slaps 👌. And hey, to their credit, it seems like they did a good job choosing a song that matched the tone AND timing of the scene.
I played both these games and I do remember the second one being markedly better with a really good magic system and fun final battle. Still terribly goofy but I enjoyed the second one quite a bit while the first is just… “Special”
Its so jank as hell, but man I LOVE Two Worlds 2. So much. The online version my buddy and I played for HOURS and hours and hours just making wild builds.
Oh, man! I loved two worlds! That was such a fun game. Haven't been able to play it from Steam for some reason. Might have to try it on a vm or something.
Ok I'm interested!! I cab get a copy for a cheap price. Should I play the first game first? The graphics of 1st game was pretty outdated comapre to this.
The short ass arms always killed me but this was a fun game. The first one is actual ass, but this is a pretty decent game - I would categorize it as an almost proto-Outward or even witcher 3. The melee combat was actually more serviceable than is being let on here because you could animation cancel dodge out of basically anything so it's just a matter of spacing. You could spot read basically any enemy by learning their patterns and playing defensively and observationally at first and then beat them, it was surprisingly fair. Also the exploration was good, there were a ton of fun different biomes with different feelings it was just goofy as hell.
I think they released some new DLC few years ago. Game looked great when it released and I don't remember performance issues at least, might be issue with newer hardware. Almost everything was improved from original but at the same time I think it lost bit of that bonkers open world charm. This was also still the era when passable was just fine for rpg combat.
you had to email your full real details to the polish developers so that they would send you a time based key to unlock the rest of the game after leaving the castle at the start of the game else you were just locked out of the rest of the game you had bought, supposidly to stop it being pirated, the key could only be used once, so if you installed the game on another computer the key wouldn't work and you had to request another key, that's why the achievement to get to the orc camp is so low, most people refunded the game when it asked for details that a lot of people didn't want to give, or didn't like the idea you were locked out of the game due to a dumb idea by the makers
I really missed the silly speak from the first game. If Two Worlds ever gets a third game, I REALLY hope the bring back the old "Thou, forswooth" type talk while keeping the magic system from 2. Best of both...worlds.

It sits in this weird corner. Not a bad game, but not polished either.
And with incredibly good systems, in a game that can be incredibly raw.
one fun combo was summoning anvils and then using a gravity spell to have them spin around you as a shield

@@RuSosan or the mazes there "allways left or allways right" cheese strategy at a certain point doest work anymore due to a seperated square in the middle so you had to break that pattern to actually do the labyrinth. and the third act was so full of crazy funny shit the npc's requested, it was a bliss to just watch, learn and enjoy. tbh i cant remember much of the mainstory and the first dlc. then 2nd dlc came years later, i was just finished with the game 1 or 2 years later but i was so totally out of the mainstory that i wasnt able to get into it again. then i found an automobile park in a spring and i lost interest.
I remember people were mad that a lot of content was locked behind multiplayer - like ~50% of the world map or more... there is a mod that brings MP stuff to singleplayer (Worldmerge) but you have to get old version of TW2. Best bet is get it on GOG and downgrade via GOG Galaxy then disable autoupdates.
TW2 was nice, but after desert it was getting more empty and hollow.
TBH I never liked Beth games and spend more time with TW1 than Oblivion. But that's me.
Aa a kid in school, this looked quite impressive back then. I played it more seriously than I should have. Sadly, I had technical issues with the hard drive and lost the save, I lost another save file and never completed it.
Ah, love your delivery Mitch.
I don't play many RPGs however, if you ever branch into TBS or FPS I will utterly swoon
I remember getting the horse, promptly losing it and never being able to figure out how to get it back. Not that it would have helped much past the first island. Glad to hear it seems to be a feature. Did you kn ow they released a full expansion pack for the game like ten years after release? I still haven't finished that one.
I loooooved two world 2 back when I played it
I got a bunch of cracked ribs from an accident and that bit with the music not starting up and the coughs made me almost literally die. I can't. aashdkahs
When I played the game in 2010 I was stunned by the graphics, especially of the fields and sea. This game came out before Skyrim, and for some visuals it was superior to Skyrim. And from second act the plot was interesting too. Playing as fighter was imbalanced as it could be. From one strike enemies were flying to the skies.
You made me laugh to tears! I love your content and sense of humor, even though I havent played many of the games you overview here. You are doing great work of entertaining people :D
Gamestar, renowned German gaming magazine, rated this 85/100 back in the days.
"We're Orcs and we saved you"
"Yeah about that... I actually kind think orcs are lame..."
"Oh..."
Shortest game I'd ever have played.
Gondohar calls for aid, Rogdar will answer. -A brotherhood man, eh?
That’s weird, I played this on 360, and on there, where you have fewer buttons, they did not put “Sprint” and “Sneak” on the same buttons.
I love how they spent 90% of the budget on the sountrack in the main menu, seriously though, I love this game it will be always a nice childhood memory
Hope all is well thx for the laughs
Can't wait till you review Raven's Cry :D
I loved to mix existing magic potions to get crazy effects. I loved 10 times my max mana potion which poisioned me. Blue alcohol potion..... and let me jump high.
Will you ever look at Reality Pump's "Vendetta: Curse of Raven's Cry," their attempt at an open-world pirate RPG? The tragedy is that it ALMOST works, and actually has some neat elements, as well as some decently designed period cities. Sadly, the actual gameplay is still utter shite, pirating/sailing feels completely unfinished, and its nonstop grimdarkness wraps around to be hilarious.
(On a happier note, I recently discovered a PS3/PC B-tier ARPG called "Venetica" which I actually enjoyed a lot. It was super charming despite its high levels of jank.)
I remember playing Two Worlds 2... though it's been quite a while. I quite liked it. I don't recall actually beating it, though.
4:32 lol that shadow on the hero's hood moves at like 3fps, wtf is going on xD
I love how you can get the townspeople to kill the end boss right at the beginning of the game in Two Worlds 1
Would you consider making a video on Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning? It's a pretty decent RPG with a fun combat system. It is somewhat underrated as it was released only a few months after Skyrim and was overshadowed by it.
Sounds like a good candidate, ill check it out cheers :)
@@MitchManix Thank you! And thanks for consistently awesome videos! I always look forward to one of your uploads 😊
I didnt like that game it felt like an offline mmo with one player (you) and combat was so repetitive but I guess it's no biggie if u compare it to other button mashers
Most AAA games are the quality of 2 Worlds imagine if we still had standards in gaming
Same quality, but none of it's charm.
The only time i played this game i fucked around with the magic, then i made 50 waterwalking potions and ran across the sea to another continent with some kind of evil citadel, possibly being the final boss area but that's all i remember now.
I never got into the sequel much, but when I was younger and first played the game on 360, I actually loved it quite a lot despite its obvious flaws.
It's harder getting into it now, though I was happy to get a free copy from some site mentioned (of all places) in the Steam News section for another game I owned. The few times I've been in the mood to try to replay it, I've had technical issues preventing me from really playing it. Like how the audio just completely cut out when I was barely 10% of the way through the game, leaving only music at best.
Or more recently when I tried to play it a couple years back or so and the game just wouldn't let me start a new save.
Probably for the best. It's an interesting series, but it's far from a quality experience. You have to enjoy some of its strange features and presentation to really want to play it, because the quality is bordering on "The Room" levels of bad. Truthfully, I do not want another sequel because I am not likely to play it and if we're being entirely honest, I think the developers, while hardworking and creative, don't have much business making games to begin with. They should just be glad they made two games that are quirky enough to be entertaining and call it quits.
It's the same thing with Bethesda. They have some level of talent, sure, but they're also highly incompetent and have only devolved over the years. Even had they not, their consistently lacking technical quality makes their games as miserable as they are fun and while some people have overlooked it for a long time, I got sick of it before they even released Fallout 76 and started to get really angry at them.
These days when I buy a game, I expect it to work nigh-flawlessly. Even Baldur's Gate 3, which is by no means a bad game and certainly deserves a lot of the praise it gets, pissed me off to no end with its constant crashing. You simply cannot enjoy a game you can't play, no matter how good it is. People really need to demand better from the industry. Even "indie" developers should not get a free pass.
Ferreal, though?.....the music at 1:50 actually kinda slaps 👌. And hey, to their credit, it seems like they did a good job choosing a song that matched the tone AND timing of the scene.
Thank you for your service to the world
I loved Two Worlds II. Easily had the best lockpicking minigame in any game. Also loved being able to earn gold through playing music.
Okay that "Scheisse" was totally unexpacted lol
It takes itself so seriously you can't help but smile
1:52 The female orc's introduction reminds me of the opening of Prince of Persia: Warrior Within.
Love the video!
With the achievements, they where added in later. I have 21 hours in the game but have 0 achievements. Last played it in 2012.
I always loved this game growing up. The bug guys looked amazing to me. Not sure if I played the story much only multiplayer
mitch puts out the best content lol
good video I had fun.
You almost make the game look good
I played both these games and I do remember the second one being markedly better with a really good magic system and fun final battle.
Still terribly goofy but I enjoyed the second one quite a bit while the first is just… “Special”
Its so jank as hell, but man I LOVE Two Worlds 2. So much. The online version my buddy and I played for HOURS and hours and hours just making wild builds.
Two Worlds 2 speedrun on AGDQ is the most hilarious thing about it
Oh, man! I loved two worlds! That was such a fun game. Haven't been able to play it from Steam for some reason. Might have to try it on a vm or something.
Ok I'm interested!! I cab get a copy for a cheap price. Should I play the first game first? The graphics of 1st game was pretty outdated comapre to this.
I would advise playing the first one. Did a video on that one too. Its really funny in places and I really enjoyed it.
i like that series. I played through both games. Two Worlds II also has some DLC that's pretty fun.
It's been a year and I still can't get over that it's called "the taint"
The short ass arms always killed me but this was a fun game. The first one is actual ass, but this is a pretty decent game - I would categorize it as an almost proto-Outward or even witcher 3. The melee combat was actually more serviceable than is being let on here because you could animation cancel dodge out of basically anything so it's just a matter of spacing. You could spot read basically any enemy by learning their patterns and playing defensively and observationally at first and then beat them, it was surprisingly fair. Also the exploration was good, there were a ton of fun different biomes with different feelings it was just goofy as hell.
is this not a reupload or am i haveing a fever dream about rewatching this video
The spell creation system was amazing, pity other games have not considered it.
I think they released some new DLC few years ago. Game looked great when it released and I don't remember performance issues at least, might be issue with newer hardware.
Almost everything was improved from original but at the same time I think it lost bit of that bonkers open world charm. This was also still the era when passable was just fine for rpg combat.
When ambition exceeds ability, but with heart
you had to email your full real details to the polish developers so that they would send you a time based key to unlock the rest of the game after leaving the castle at the start of the game else you were just locked out of the rest of the game you had bought, supposidly to stop it being pirated, the key could only be used once, so if you installed the game on another computer the key wouldn't work and you had to request another key, that's why the achievement to get to the orc camp is so low, most people refunded the game when it asked for details that a lot of people didn't want to give, or didn't like the idea you were locked out of the game due to a dumb idea by the makers
So this is the famous Baldur's gate 3 game I keep hearing about.
I really missed the silly speak from the first game.
If Two Worlds ever gets a third game, I REALLY hope the bring back the old "Thou, forswooth" type talk while keeping the magic system from 2. Best of both...worlds.
how did you get this game to work on steam, mine crashes everytime no matter what.
Started a re-walkthrough of TW2 just a few days ago
