If you go here -> Gamespot Two Worlds PC Pageyou will see that there is a new patch for Two Worlds (v1.5). The once notoriously buggy game is now fixed (or at least that's the claim). By reading the changes, which are extremely numerous, it looks like SouthPeak Interactive has made a heroic effort to make their game the best it could be. I must applaud them for their hard work and integrity for their product. Their are a couple of duds that should take the same steps, and I hope they wake up to this.
Bethesda Softwork's Oblivion and Aspyr's Gothic 3 are two games in this genre - and two companies - who need to follow the new kid on the block and find out where he's getting HIS candy. Both of them blew it big time, especially in terms of gameplay, and almost as bad; misinterpreting the willingness of the consumer to upgrade to "Oblivious" levels on the "hype and anticipation" of one game. But that isn't the worst mistake, that's reserved for their follow-up actions - NONE. Bethesda released a patch which did not address the major issues of the game, (they probably just added a hidden "Nvidia character" - or some "Xbox360 armor") and Aspyr didn't release anything to fix their UNPLAYABLY BUGGY GAME. If fact, to further add pain to the slap - they had the nerve to announce an upcoming Gothic 4! Am I the only one who knows that they are not going to be able to sell another Gothic game unless they first fix Gothic III? I must be a savant or something... cuz I sure ain't smart about nuffin' else - A-S-P-Y-R... that spells "moon"... and their probably mooning all the people who bought that waste of disk space right now... I see the same fate for the nextElder Scrollssequel. I hope they can see it too... but it don't look so good right now...
I can't play oblivion - but at least I have a shiny new graphic card that retailed for the low low price of $399.99... you know - the one they PUSHED to get you to "fully experience the wonder that is Oblivion"... yeah - I just purchased a graphic card only 3 months before - but it was only $199.99 - not nearly enough money to run a game like Oblivion...
Well, I guess Two Worlds is slated to become my next Morrowind (the life eating RPG... time just slips away when you play it). I'm glad it popped up, because if it were up to Bethesda and Aspyr - I would'nt have a thing to play... well there's S.T.A.L.K.E.R., NWN2, Titan's Quest (still gotta finish it)... ad infitum - but you get my drift. There's nothing quite like Morrowind... oh, yes there is - it's called Two Worlds (WITH the v1.5 patch, if you please).
