You don’t have to purchase thru the proxy, just be able to add it to your cart and purchase (don’t have to enter any credit info) from gamersgate uk (not usa)
also, you don’t need proxy to download it. just need the download exe and the key from email.
just make sure you get the international version which has the english version… though from english impressions i’ve read… some ppl are wishing for german voices hehe (supposedly the english VOs aren’t as good as the german).
Click the small “surfen” link on the page, and enter “gamersgate.co.uk”
Log in to your account, then select the version of Two Worlds with no language (this is the english version). Click buy, then checkout, then confirm purchase. The site will eventually timeout because it can’t establish a secure connection.
Gamersgate will then send you an email that says “please finish your order”. Click on the link provided in the email (this will bring you to the regular gamersgate.co.uk site), log into your account, and then fill in your payment info.
played a little more than an hour of the sequel… its very polished so far. graphics are a big step up as are the physics in it. and the game does a MUCH better job in explaining how the game works (the first was terrible at this). pretty much the first hour+ is a story tutorial and eases you into the games mechanics.
think this might be the real deal, meaning those german reviewers are onto something. still early in the game… i’m esentailly still in the first area (equivalent to like goodsprings/primm if i was playing FNV). only issue so far is the big console like menu ui… no big deal though, everything else feels top notch so far.
It’s very good so far. The engine is incredible. Zero load times, looks amazing. Gameplay so far is excellent as well. I can’t believe this is made by the same team.
I’m having one problem though. No matter what I try, I can’t get Vsync enabled in this game. The in game option does nothing, D3D overrider does nothing (triple buffering and vsync, and every combination of both on and off), triple buffering in the CCC… I’m at a loss. Is there some other way to force Vsync on a 5770?
Think so but too soon to really tell - there’s a tutorial island :) I don’t agree on the engine incidentally - it’s fine, rather than great. The draw distance/detail combination hasn’t been any more than usually impressive so far. It not bad, but it seems to be pushing about as much stuff as the average other open world-ish console engine. It’s no Just Cause 2. There are loading screens for some interiors.
Game systems seem quite deep and interesting, plot is fine so far, essentially bugless so far, VO is fair, looks fine, a bit of a lack of weight in the early archery and magic, some interesting terrain, no invisiwalls… optimistic so far. Ask me in 20 hours :)
yeah, I don’t want to proclaim this the best CRPG ever or anything. It seems like a decent crpg so far (only played about 5 hours). I will say this… it has the same difficulty as alot of eastern euro rpgs do. it is nowhere near as ‘easy’ as Oblivion or a Fallout 3… it still plays alot like the first Two Worlds in terms of gameplay (which is good or bad depending on what you’re looking for). Seems you can’t play a generalist, and have to focus your skills (at least early going). What seems to make this game better than the original is that Archery and Magic seem to have alot more credence (melee seemed to be a big focus in the first 2 Worlds).
overall feels alot more open and diverse than what I’ve played of Div 2 and Arcania, which would probably be the best comparisons … but I am still very early in the game (about an hour into the savanah area).
Just bought the game from Gamergate.co.uk. I was going to wait for a Steam release, but it is not even on its upcoming game list, so i caved in.
I am 2 hour into the game, and my initial impression is that this may very well be the Sleeper Hit of the year, if not the decade. I am not sure if it is because I had zero expectation or the game is actually that good. What I can tell you certainly is that, the game is VERY VERY optimized. I am able to max all settings except AA with my 70 dollars graphics card, and the graphics looks gorgeous. I am also happy to tell you that it passes this little pet peeve test of mine. It detects the native resolution of my monitor! You would be surprised how many mega-budget games don’t do that cough Call of Duty cough. So this is a good start. A very good start.
