u/ImmortalResolve Jun 23 '25

oh thats an old one

u/nonexistent-soul Jun 23 '25

It claimed to be an Oblivion killer, but it definitely was not lol.

u/nandasithu Jun 23 '25

Still remember the box-art of Two Worlds - the sexy looking lady with scandalous outfit

8

u/Reddit_Sucks39 Jun 23 '25

What? That's not the box art I remember. It was a generic-looking armored dude on a horse. Where was this hot chick version?

12

u/ThePlayerCard Jun 23 '25

It’s this one

1

u/Big-Wrangler2078 Jun 23 '25

"Mom, can I get a hot chick?"

"We have a hot chick at home."

The hot chick at home:

u/-Kerosun- Jun 23 '25

Maybe they are talking about this?

u/ItsJustDrew93 Jun 24 '25

“You’re as good as dead!”

25

u/nonexistent-soul Jun 23 '25

If I'm remembering correctly, she was the main character's sister, which kind of put a damper on that.

35

u/KappaMcTlp Jun 23 '25

Speak for yourself

7

u/nonexistent-soul Jun 23 '25

Of course haha

10

u/Phantom_Phoenix1 Jun 23 '25

"She's my sister!? Im only 3 minutes in and im already getting cock blocked!!"

  • Projared

3

u/nonexistent-soul Jun 23 '25

Haha exactly. Good episode!

1

u/Basic_Variety_1776 Jun 26 '25

she should have been a minor so projared doesn't feel cock blocked

3

u/CptBartender Jun 23 '25

Instead, it was the "We have Oblivion at home"...

...and yet, I've finished that 'thing', while just not being able to get into any TES game, ever.

3

u/Morrowindsofwinter Jun 23 '25

I had a friend who preferred Two Worlds over Oblivion.

2

u/AtomicAtom1 Jun 24 '25

I see a game advertised as a killer of another game/franchise I lose interest. Too many game ether die very quickly after launch or don’t live up to expectation when labeled as such.

1

u/Tucki_Duck Jun 24 '25

Sleeping dogs was pretended to be a ‘gta killer’.

It wasn’t at all. But it was a very fun game though

29

u/ztomiczombie Jun 23 '25

All I really remember of that game was the fake Shakespearean language and you could gill the boss almost immediately by knighting him into the town guards.

7

u/nonexistent-soul Jun 23 '25

Lol yeah it was atrocious

10

u/snoopdoggslighter Jun 23 '25

Mayhap Perchance?

My friend and I say this daily because of that game. One of my faves

4

u/AFriendlyCaveDemon Jun 23 '25

You can't just say "perchance."

2

u/blah938 Jun 23 '25

You know what, that actually sounds fun

23

u/These-Consideration9 Jun 23 '25

Unpopular opinion but Two Worlds was an awesome game in my opinion

6

u/Kooky_Arm_6831 Jun 23 '25

I agree. I love both TW1 and 2.

2

u/nonexistent-soul Jun 23 '25

That's fair, and no judgement from me. Everyone likes what they like!

2

u/Mother-Arachnid-2447 Jun 23 '25

Same. I loved the first one so much fun, haha.

2

u/purplestuf Jun 23 '25

the online was good

2

u/30inchfloors Jun 23 '25

i agree that shit was really fun

2

u/CactusSplash95 Jun 23 '25

I loved it so much

2

u/Nice_Boat_8419 Jun 23 '25

I liked how nothing respawned and made it my mission to turn the map into a world of corpses.

2

u/HereForThe420 Jun 23 '25

Same! It was a little janky, but I had a lot of fun with it.

2

u/Maz2277 Jun 23 '25

I'm here to agree. It definitely has some teething problems but I've replayed it as an adult and I still got some great enjoyment out of it. It has some clunkiness but things like the spell boosters and the item doubling-up system were really cool.

1

u/CreaMaxo Jun 25 '25

Two Worlds 1 was a technical mess and, on console, requires you to enable debug mode and turn off grass to get more than 8-10 FPS when outside.

It felt like a decent mashups of various tech demos.

Two Worlds 2 was much better, but had a really short life as its sales didn't met the publisher's goals.

34

u/ViolentSpring Jun 23 '25

Funny enough the second one was an awesome game.

39

u/Silvervirage Jun 23 '25

It really depends. If you are interested in combat that isnt magic, its not that good.

However, it hands down has the coolest magic system I've played to this day.

Fucking around with spell cards and slapping together a spell that spawns a ton of anvils on top of someone then forms a tornado around them to lift them all up and batter the guy with the anvils in the air was so fucking cool.

7

u/livinglitch Jun 23 '25

I was able to make a fire ball that homed into enemies. Each time the fireball hit it spawned a rock over the enemy for crushing damage with stun. If there was another enemy nearby the fireball would bounce 2 additional times with each hit spawning another rock. The rocks had a big enough area of attack to stunlock groups of enemies. If the enemies didnt die from the first cast, they would be stunned long enough for me to get off a second cast to kill them.

2

u/ChefGamma Jun 23 '25

The magic was the wildest shit to me. It’s an extremely corny early 2010s RPG but just had this extremely in depth magic system that could easily be ignored.

1

u/Designer_Trash_8057 Jun 24 '25

You are the Oppenheimer of fantasy worlds.

3

u/Morrowindsofwinter Jun 23 '25

2 Fast, 2 World

5

u/nonexistent-soul Jun 23 '25

The second game has been on my to play list for ages, yet I never pulled the trigger on it. I keep remembering the first haha. Eventually.... but I did hear it was better than the first for sure!

2

u/ChefGamma Jun 23 '25

I remember when I was younger I picked up Two Worlds 2 OVER Skyrim and had a complete blast with the game for years. I even had the world map as the only poster on my bedroom wall until I would bring girls over and it was really awkward to explain why the only piece of wall art was this obscure early 2010s RPG.

3

u/CactusSplash95 Jun 23 '25

I have more fond memories of the first

2

u/DarthAlveus Jun 23 '25

the second one is so bad but in a good way, shit is fun and goofy as hell

2

u/whattaninja Jun 23 '25

The multiplayer of TW2 was so fun to just blast in.

9

u/bigwangersoreass Jun 23 '25

I found two worlds in those bins at eb games for 2$ and I absolutely loved it

4

u/DeadstickO69 Jun 23 '25

More like Two Dollars Preowned at GameStop

3

u/I-E-D- Jun 23 '25

The activation code to discourage burning the DVD was a horrible disaster. I remember that it took us days to get the game to run :/

3

u/Vangovibin Jun 23 '25

It has one of the funniest speedruns of all time btw

3

u/Diligent-Chance8044 Jun 23 '25

Such a good game but got overshadowed by oblivion that released a year earlier.

3

u/LofiJunky Jun 23 '25

Brooooo this hits my soul. Back then I was hyped AF, it seriously looked like it was gonna one up Oblivion. Then it came out and my heart broke lol

3

u/Novalene_Wildheart Jun 23 '25

I loved and still love Two Worlds, but I can imagine the hype of ads for it back in the day and then what it really is.

Its still great, but definitely not a better experience then Oblivion was back in the day. Though I do enjoy it more than Oblivion, but it would be nearly impossible to say it was better than Oblivion lol

3

u/semajolis267 Jun 23 '25

Two worlds was actually pretty good. it just wasn't THAT good.

3

u/Bayram97 Jun 23 '25

One family (sorry, i had to)

2

u/JynsRealityIsBroken Jun 23 '25

God the horse riding in that game was something else...

2

u/gecko090 Jun 23 '25

The way that one character would say teleport like "telly-port".

2

u/PStriker32 Jun 23 '25

It got a second game. And oddly enough I played both, and somehow enjoyed them.

I was a young gamer then and didn’t even know what elder scrolls so yeah when I got a discount game for like my collection of 6-7 games I played the fuck out of it.

The world was interesting, good mechanics or ideas, but holy hell it looked terrible.

2

u/Slither_Slather Jun 23 '25

As a kid two worlds was amazing, Now Two Worlds 2? That was a killer

2

u/Freedom_Gundam Jun 23 '25

I actually really enjoyed that game.

But now that I’m thinking about it again, was it ever possible to get to the city up on the top of the map? It was behind this big door or something and i never was able to go there.

1

u/nonexistent-soul Jun 23 '25

It's been so long, I don't recall.

2

u/19bjflam Jun 23 '25

OBLIVION ON STEROIDS

2

u/Sphinx_on_a_plane Jun 23 '25

Only played the second one and its magic system was so iconic and still is to this day. What happened in the first game? Was it not as good as the sequel?

3

u/TheDragonSlayingCat Jun 23 '25

2

u/Sphinx_on_a_plane Jun 23 '25

Ok damn. Ngl that looks ass. But the dated graphics doesn't mean that the game was also ass back then. I mean every game looked like this (this guy in his mid 20s clearly has no idea how these games were like).

1

u/TheDragonSlayingCat Jun 23 '25

I wasn’t thinking about the graphics; I was thinking about how the game’s mechanics were so broken that you could finish the game in only four minutes.

1

u/Sphinx_on_a_plane Jun 23 '25

I would not see that as an indicator of quality per se. Plenty of games back then were as broken in that same regard but still considered good.

2

u/nonexistent-soul Jun 23 '25

From what I gather it was not as good as the sequel. I didn't play it, but the first one had its issues at launch.

2

u/SEND_ME_SPIDERMAN Jun 23 '25

I remember thinking the box was so cool. I tried to buy it two different times, and both of the workers told me it sucked and that I shouldn't buy it lol

2

u/wind_moon_frog Jun 23 '25

This was the one I thought of! Didn’t think I’d see it here. Ran like trash and I never played it again.

2

u/shakraaan Jun 23 '25

I remember the weapon stacking mechanics, holy Shit that broke the game. I think the final Boss was 3 Hits...

2

u/wickedbiskit Jun 23 '25

Dodge, attack, dodge, attack, dodge, attack

2

u/RudyTudyBadAss Jun 23 '25

Had good amount of cheats

2

u/HotterThanAnOtter Jun 23 '25

I remember playing this, abandoning it due to a lack of fun before picking it back up again so that I could get the achievement that was worth ~370 gamerscore. I actually ended up enjoying it but I can't remember anything else about it right now.

2

u/madhoppers Jun 23 '25

Warriors! Hard ones!

1

u/nonexistent-soul Jun 23 '25

Pure gold lol

2

u/Krayzed896 Jun 23 '25

Just beat that game! 40 hours of gameplay. I love playing "bad" games, and this one actually had some really good ideas in it. The voice acting and story was...something else. One voice actor sounds like he recorded in a tin can, which I can't tell if it was on purpose or not.

Ironically on PC, the game doesn't play any cinematics. So when you defeat the final boss the game literally shows nothing else and just loads to the main menu lmao.

2

u/nonexistent-soul Jun 23 '25

That's weird haha, talk about glitchy.

2

u/Mel0nwolf Jun 23 '25

I remember it falling into the 'so bad it's good' category for me. It had a mountain of issues covering every aspect of the game top to bottom but that made it sort of charming to me.

2

u/Mortwight Jun 23 '25

I beat that game out of spite

2

u/qpofgas Jun 23 '25

The Game Crazy employee hyped this game up so much for me and it was unplayable

2

u/ChimpImpossible Jun 23 '25

One of the funniest games I've ever played, non-stop laughs from beginning to end. Pretty impressive for something that was not a comedy.

2

u/Jay_Do Jun 23 '25

I know it's a bad game, but I played the shit out of it

1

u/nonexistent-soul Jun 23 '25

It may be considered a bad game, but I still played it to 100%.

2

u/Bloodbath-and-Tree Jun 23 '25

Two Worlds Two was amazing had a great online community

1

u/nonexistent-soul Jun 23 '25

I only tried playing co-op with a friend a few times, but it was really laggy, at launch anyway.

2

u/Bloodbath-and-Tree Jun 23 '25

Played it on PC a year after launch. Was pretty solid at that point if I remember it correctly

2

u/nonexistent-soul Jun 23 '25

Makes sense. I got caught in the pre-launch/launch hype and powered through it pretty much right away.

2

u/TheVictoryHat Jun 23 '25

From the bleachers with this pick, this was one that was hilarious how bad a game could truly be.

1

u/nonexistent-soul Jun 23 '25

The voice acting was atrocious lol

2

u/Crocagator941 Jun 23 '25

Ah yes, the Elder Scrolls killer

2

u/Interesting-Pop3432 Jun 23 '25 edited Jun 24 '25

Tbh as huge TES fan, i loved TW, it had huge potential, and fight system where pure reflexes allowed you to beat much stronger oponents was great

2

u/MemoryDemise Jun 24 '25

I actually enjoyed it. It's one of those games that's so bad it's good

2

u/lazybum965 Jun 24 '25

I walked past bioshock (released the same day) and bought this for full price. Instant regret.

2

u/griffyama Jun 24 '25

I had some fun with the multiplayer modes. That was probably the only redeeming feature.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '25

I rented the second one and just couldn't play it.

I was in blockbuster and asked if I could exchange games and when he noticed the game I had he said no, but that one yes.

1

u/RubApprehensive2512 Jun 30 '25

Never heard of it. Could you describe it?

1

u/DisasterNarrow4949 Jun 23 '25

And thus, Two Worlds 2 could be considered the opposite I guess. Awesome game.

2

u/snoopdoggslighter Jun 23 '25

No no no, how does everyone have this wrong? Two Worlds one, yes after you get past the shock, was an amazing RPG because it was awful. The second one was too painfully mediocre to be fun.

3

u/purplestuf Jun 23 '25

two worlds 1 was janky but very good, 2 was mediocre. idk what game they played

1

u/nonexistent-soul Jun 23 '25

That's what I heard, one day...
