Piggie_Pie Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I have no idea why TopWare thought it was ok to make a game of the year edition to a game that most people stuck their noses up to... but here it is... http://beefjack.com/news/two-worlds-ii-game-of-the-year-edition-hits-ps3-or-does-it/ too bad i already got the unfinished version of the game otherwise i would have been able to get the DLC for the same price almost a year later, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ille1234 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 You sure about this? It seems to me like the goty didn't even exist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSXtreme_ Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 GOTY is probably just the generic term for the "gold" version...or what should be advertised now in this era of uncompleted releases...this is the complete version. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piggie_Pie Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 You sure about this? It seems to me like the goty didn't even exist yeah its something that they announced be like you said it may not even exist... sounds like by reading into it they have something in the Germain stores or something like that... who knows whats going on...

PSXtreme_ Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I think it's a giant conspiracy plotting against your mental stability... I always worry whenever the Germans get involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's a retarded move if i've ever heard one. That will only make potential buyers endlessly wait for the GOTY edition when they could've bought the regular edition and the company that made the game could've made themselves a money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if i were to buy this game right now, would i be dissapointed or would i play the living crap out of it? Me being a newbie to the RPG genre. With christmas being around the corner and the pricetag very low (at least over here) this seems like the perfect time. The question remans though, obviously something went wrong with this game but what does this game that others don't? Still, it seems like the guy from the site wasn't to happy with it and i'm guessing that he's played quite a few RPG's in his day. But like you said, it seems like they made an awfull lot of mistakes with this game. Kinda reminds me of Brink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maitre Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 i hate the idea of getting a game without the other games in the series, it's most likely the reason why i didn't get that even it looked ok. it's also the reason i won't be getting Mass Effet 2 / 3 or Dead rising 2. i thinking of getting dead island but i have so many games i might need to skip it if only to keep control over my own sanity vs the crushing weight of my backlog o_O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda reminds me of Brink There are a lot of people who couldn't get past the tutorial island area due to the battle system... i on the other hand liked it and kept going until platinum... it has a unique magic system and once you figure it out you will be a power house... but i try to play each game for what it is... i don't really care if the game has flaws as long as i can play it and have fun with it... i can say that it was a great game but other people thought it sucked... but at the same time i don't play a lot of the "popular" games...

Rowdi Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Hmm, might try it out some time. What exactly is weird about the battle system in this game? Your character is extremely fragile in the beginning. There's no way you can trade hits with any enemy and survive the battle. That's why my knight/melee battler had a rough start and also why I switched to concentrating on the mage attributes. I had to go to other forums and read other peoples suggestions and come back to try again. I found it best to draw one enemy away from packs and take them down one at a time. This strategy lasted for the entirety of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, nothing for a RPG newbie like me Lol, that's not what I meant. I just meant the game makes you take a different approach to battles than most other games nowadays. You can't just hack and slash so to speak. Btw, tw2 is an action rpg, so the fights are pretty much like other action games. The rpg part of it comes into play on how you decide to build your character. There also tons of micro managing things you can do like making spells and potions or upgrading weapons.

Well, you are not allowed to play Skyrim until you play Oblivion...I'll have the gaming police come over and take away your controller. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Lilith Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) Just thought I'd mention that this game (yes, the GOTY version) is releasing on PSN tomorrow, so if anyone wants to check it out and hasn't already, I would say to buy it there. No idea how much the retail GOTY version is going for now, but it's likely this won't be a full $60 on PSN, since it sounds like this has been out for a year or two. On that note, it sounds like I might try this. After beasting through Kingdoms of Amalur, I'm aching for another WRPG style game, and this sounds like it'll fit that nicely. If the retail GOTY is cheaper, I'll gladly get that..would prefer to save my remaining 500GB for free PS+ games and other retail/DD games I get. Edit-On the other hand, I think I'll probably get the regular edition, it's MUCH cheaper on Amazon. Unless the GOTY edition goes for like $20 on PSN, I don't think it's worth it at all. It's not like you get the swag from getting the GOTY edition of a digital game anyway (at least the figures and stuff, I know that soundtracks/videos are possible) Edited June 19, 2012 by gamerm1337 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TehCro Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 It might be worth getting the GOTY. I remember seeing DLC for it that cost 30 bucks on its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Sony won't be dumb enough to put a year old GOTY on the store for $50-60. Edited June 19, 2012 by gamerm1337 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TehCro Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 It's £19.99 on the EU store.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Lilith Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the update. It's $25, which I think is a very reasonable price, especially when it's a GOTY of a 20 dollar retail game. Also, I don't visit the EU store nor pay any attention to it or any of the prices. Only thing I've gotten from the EU store is a free Sonic CD theme that came here a week or so later anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
