The breakup

I just have to post this, it's a bit scary, and sometimes I feel alone but.... I think I am about to breakup with Two Worlds.  It just hasn't delivered what it promised.

The AI sucks. I started to kill off all of the people in a city: start with one guard and they all come running, right. So I finish off that batch, and guess what? They are only equiped with a sword and a bit of cash. I can see that they are wearing armour: but it isn't really equiped.  This was supposed to be an emmersive experience, but it doesn't make sense that the guards are nnnnick-ed!  You have to walk into different areas of the city in order to massacre the rest of the guards. They don't come to you, it's like tere are invisable borders which the guards won't cross. So, there are screams of "leave me alone" from the townspeople, but the guards pay no attention until you are almost on top of them.

I went to the area of the city where the army is located. The two trainers are programmed to come running and try to kill me cause I'm now a fugitive. These two trainers are the army captain and the army sargeant. So I killed them right there in front of their men. The men don't react. Finally I had to kill one of them before the army stared in on me. Again: only equiped with a melee weapon.

I got stuck in a stairwell.  I had to teleport out in order to get out of that situation. 

I don't care about the story. Kira (the sister I am supposed to save) looks really bad. Both in the: "why is she dressed like a slut, when all other women in the game are dressed in full length dresses from neck to ankle?" way and in the "ewww: boo graphics! she looks like Jill from Resident Evil... and that was on the PS1!" way.  I don't mind the naked chicks, but try to put more thought into why she would be dressed like that (the cleavage, the eye make up etc).  It is just so different from what everyone else is wearing it is really bizzare looking.  Maybe there is something in the story line that I have'nt paid attention to yet.  I think it's just an obvious ploy to get the lads interested. 

 I can't even follow the side story lines because I can't stand the voice acting or the script writing.  Makes my head hurt. 

Load time piss me off. 

The interface is so bad it makes my eyes bleed.

I tried, I really did.  I really enjoy playing MP. BUT we can only get two people total playing at any one time.  Not the 8 that we were promised.  Hopefully the patch will come out soon, but I am just a bit miffed with how bad this game is.

Wanna know the worst part? This was my first X360 game.  I don't count Oblivion cause I was already playing that on the PC.  Boo.... you just don't want your first time to be dissappointing. and it was.  sigh.  I would liek to try a shooter, I am kinda thinking of R6V cause it takes place in Vegas!!!  I also am intrigued by the realism. 

Anyway: I need a cheer up: please tell me I didn't make a mistake getting the 360!  Damn you TW....damn you to heck!

Did you say there's naked chicks? There are so many better games, if you base your 360 experience on just this game--ouch.

Yeah it's too bad because with more polish and time it could've been a very good game. I was looking forward to playing it online with you and others but I never once found a multiplayer game that was even close to being playable. Our next hope is Mass Effect but it wont have multiplayer. I picked up Marvel Ultimate Alliance the other day and it's a fun hack and slash rpg with up to 4 players online. I don't know if it's your style but you can pick it up cheap these days. A few guys I know are loving Blue Dragon, I haven't tried it myself because I'm not a fan of Jap RPGs but it has gotten good reviews.

It's not just you - I played that for 20 mins then tossed it to my son, he put in a good hour before announcing that the game was "really broken and we needed to tell the people that made it."

I'm glad I passed on this game. I really wanted it to be good... but looks like it isn't :(

TW was not a good first 360 game. In its defense though it has grown on me. Like a dysfunctional step-child. R6V would be a good FPS if you a looking for something realistic. GOW is like a cheesy SCI-FI movie big on visuals, but short on substance. You could also try Bioshock. And yeah the main characters sister is out of place. It would make more sense if she was his lover or somthing.

I waited on Two Worlds although I really wanted to like it. I am on the fence about Blue Dragon but I think I will end up getting it. I think Eternal Sonata is next up on my list to buy (if I can get my 360 back any time soon). Nooo, I wouldn't judge the 360 on the basis of one game, between me and my husband we have bought a lot of worth while games for the 360.

Mass Effect is the next huge RPG coming down the pike. Definitley get that. Rainbow 6 still has some legs, but I suspect that once COD4 comes out, many people will jump the RB6 ship to play that.

I will never jump the R6V ship..it is my favorite game..I may be in the minority on this one, but I have played the BETA for COD 4 and so far..I am not impressed. But that is just me, and my opinion, right now. That could change of course, at anytime, without prior notice. Rent R6V and see if you like it....it is a BLAST.

I think I will rent it, I may need some private lessons though: I kept getting killed in the demo
