E3 2011: Two Worlds II: Pirates of the Flying Fortress Preview Impressions

"big unexplorable island"??? can u spell DLC ... ?

@basketcaseNZ The large island to the north is the one that is used during the MP adventure, though I would have really preferred it to be a part of the SP since the MP acts are pretty linear.

I enjoyed TW 2 and wanted to keep playing when I finished so I will most likely get the expansion, but I agree with ronnet. The game goes downhill from the start in terms of content and exploration instead of building up. When I got to the end of the game I still hadn't explored the largest island so I assumed this wasn't yet the end, that there must be at least another chapter to go. Then it ended and I'm like "What? That can't be it!" I still can't believe they put that huge region in the game then made it inaccessible. Ten hours doesn't actually seem that long to me. But I'll probably manage to eek it out quite a bit more. Personally I'm hoping the dungeons won't be such a bore, and for some new light armour and finally a katana that actually looks like a katana, is the correct size for a katana, and is called a katana.

@rasputin177, have you finished TW2? It seems huge at first when you get to explore the southern island. Everytime you access the map you see that even bigger island to the north. At some point you get tired of the repetitive desert theme of the southern island. When you finally get to leave the game starts to disappoint. First you'll another small theme island which felt repetitive to me. But the worst part si that the northern island turns out to be inaccesible for the most part. Once you leave the south island you think you have only done 40% of the game while in fact you are already at 85%. So unless you haven't finished the game I don;t see how you could call this one huge. It is slightly smaller (albeit better) then the original and seems small compaired with actual big games such as Oblivion.

I probably should of seen this coming. i even felt like a pirate at sum points in the game but mainly its that dam boat i knew they'd have to make it have a point sometime. i bet i wasn't the only one to sail to the massive northern island and be disappointed

A few games lately mentioning pirate content. I really don't like pirates at all really so hoping this trend soon dies so I get content I want.

i think ill wait for them to realeas the special edition that way i wont have to download any thing

This game has been much much better then I expected. So much to do, explore, create and clobber. The graphics and dungeon designs are also much better then other games in the genre. With this expansion this will be one of the biggest games I have ever played.

sounds verry cool i want two get two worlds two at EB games but they it was discontinued :(

not bad :)

EW why add to this game

Also I hope your boat as oars, it was a pain to wait for the wind to be in the right direction. I wonder if they are going to officially unlock the big island so we don't have to use the mod. Its such a great series i'll be buying it no matter what.

I sure hope they fixed archery and the horrible aiming.
