Two Worlds II HD - Call of the Tenebrae

I LIKE TW II HD, A BIG THUMBS UP FROM ME! I have not had any problems with this game at all. Starts good, graphics are excellent, controls are fluid, in other words it's great.There are some difficulties with both characters, Knight and Woodsman when it comes to weapons and their use. You are stuck with basic weapons and alternatives see you swinging like crazy to no effect while your health quickly circles the drain. The Woodsman has virtually no armor whatsoever and has to shoot and run, mainly run. I guess this will sort as the game progresses. Most comments are to the negative for TW II HD but you need to give them a chance, most seem to be concerned about everything else but the game.

What happened? I loved TW2 and the first expansion. They worked fine, looked nice and offered a good experience. This standalone expansion however....... Who made it?? The first thing you realize: voice acting - it's ABYSMAL, worst I ever heard. It's kinda bad in the opening sequence, but when you reach the village.... ohh you're in for a surprise, because it kicks you out of the immersion in the game every time and you shudder and cringe. I can imagine random people from the street doing a better job with zero preparation. Engine: broken. playing in DX9 doesn't work. DX10 is a fake by MS to force people to buy vista back in the day and the performance is terrifyingly bad. It looks slightly worse than the original TW2 (non HD, lol, what a dumb marketing word) but requires about 5 times the power to run, and even then it doesn't run smoothly. Also, it uses ONLY ONE CPU CORE properly. FML

Totally is a bad game. I am at level 60 and I can't even use my weapons to attack or defend, but if I pay $1.99 I can have a warrior pack to enable me to fight! Uninstall the game and that is what I did. Not worth the purchase. Both thumbs down.

Really fun but super janky, as is the norm for any Two Worlds title. I would venture a word with this one though, it really should have spent a bit more time in the development oven before releasing as it's loaded with weird bugs that do impact gameplay. Call of the Tenebrae is mostly playable as a standalone release but note it has no tutorial so those new to the series will likely spend the first hour blundering about until the controls are discovered. You literally load into the game world with a nearly max-level character heaped with tons of awesome gear you're not likely to swap out for discovered items later on, which is a bit shocking. Voice acting is mostly good so far, although lip sync outside of the major characters seems to be nonexistent. Dorchad, the village / town you start the game in, is where the majority of side quests originate so I'd suggest spending time running around talking to all the locals before moving on with the main quest - which is very short by the way, in the region of three hours so the meat and potatoes of this title are in the non-essential quests. The side quest variety makes up for the lackluster main quest, the highlight so far being leading a drunk guy back home while his mind conjures fantastical beasts you must fight off...well apart from the friendly pink rhino, that is. I mentioned the bugs for good reason, as I've had several quests stop working for seemingly no reason. A missing cow I had to lead back to a local farmer didn't register as returned when led into her enclosure. Harvested animal parts needed to craft a fake species for a naturalist fail to register when in my inventory. Wage and safety disputes between a miners union and the mine owner loves to break then start working again on the next load up. Usually a reload fixes these issues, but I've had to restart once now to successfully complete the lost cow quest. Aside from these, you'll notice glitches with some cutscenes where it's obvious this was intended as DLC and they never patched the old dialogue out. I still suggest grabbing this despite the above (on sale, obviously), but then again I've always had a soft spot for this series. It's not a cult classic like RPGs released by Piranha Bytes, but if you like your games a little clunky and loaded with pop culture references and more than a few laugh out loud moments this game is hard to beat.

[h1]Tell me why! [i]~The Beach Boys[/i][/h1] OK, why? Seriously, why? [i]WHY?![/i] Why did they make this? Long story short, what we have here is just a stand-alone copy of [b]Call of the Tenebrae DLC[/b]. The original [b]Two Worlds II[/b] campaign isn't there, multiplayer isn't there either, but in-built store that allows you to use real money to buy pay-to-win crap is. [i]Of course[/i] it is. Because crappy publisher is crappy. Doesn't sound [i]that[/i] bad, though. I mean, seriously. We had stand-alone [b]DLC[/b] before, right? And yet... think about it. First of all, they ask [b]$14.99[/b] for this. It's a pretty short [b]DLC[/b] for a pretty old game. With a bloody pay-to-win store. Without multiplayer. And yet, they ask [b]$14.99[/b] for it. The original version of [b]Call of the Tenebrae DLC[/b], the one that requires the main [b]Two Worlds II[/b] game, it's only [b]$9.99[/b]. This one is [b]$14.99[/b]. What... the f*ck? The weird stuff doesn't stop there, though. Even though it wasn't the first [b]DLC[/b] for [b]Two Worlds II[/b] and it wasn't even the last, it was the only one to be released this way. And guess what? It's a pretty terrible [b]DLC[/b]. The main campaign (that will cost you [b]$19.99[/b] and comes with both multiplayer and access to the other [b]DLC[/b], including cheaper version of this one) is bigger and better than this. [b]Pirates of the Flying Fortress[/b]? [i]Way[/i] better than this. This? It's just you running from [b]A[/b] to [b]B[/b] and killing stuff. In a pretty small and empty world. Without much optional stuff to do. And yet, here we are. A stand-alone release. [i]Why?[/i] Seriously, it only makes things more complicated. Because people who didn't even start with [b]Two Worlds II[/b] yet (you did a very smart thing, guys, keep doing it) may feel seriously confused here. Do you need this expensive version? Or [b]$9.99[/b] is enough? First of all, you don't need either of them. [b]Two Worlds II[/b] is a pretty bad game and this [b]DLC[/b] is even worse (feel free to check my review of [b]$9.99[/b] version for more details). But if you're hardcore [b]RPG[/b] genre fan who just wants to play every single [b]RPG[/b] game out there, then go for [b]$9.99[/b] version. Seriously, just get yourself the complete [b]Two Worlds II[/b] bundle. By doing that, you'll get this [b]DLC[/b] way cheaper [i]and[/i] you will get access to all other [b]DLC[/b]. Because if you'll pay for this? You'll stuck with just that. An expensive version of crappy [b]DLC[/b] with no way to access the rest of [b]Two Worlds II[/b] content. Including the multiplayer. But honestly, stay away from [b]Two Worlds II[/b] completely. It's not the game you're looking for. Dixi.

[Enter] Engine.Hdr 0 ^ Disables annoying blur and other filters that make the game look ungraciously. After this everything should be clear. As for the review, first of all if you've never played any of Two Worlds games you definitely need to start with the first one. It still remains to be the best in the series and the only one that is a good game. Two Worlds II and add-ons are just average, including this one. The island in this expansion has an eerie and gloomy atmosphere, quite pleasant if you enjoy grim aura. As a fan of Lovecraft I liked the fact that there is a friendly village of fish-like humanoids worshipping Cthulhu, and who give you a quest to fight another group and eventually Dagon. That's the gist of atmosphere of this expansion. Furthermore, the story in Call of Tenebrae is not overly complex, but still it's way more than I expected. Quests related to the main story are alright, but side ones are just boring fetch quests. Dialogues are fairly boring as well, I often just skipped some parts as they were too dull. The gameplay is mediocre, same as TW2. Unfortunately a large amount of combat encounters ruins it a bit, there should be significantly less of it since it's not good and fighting frustrates in the end. In addition, there are many cutscenes without audio and some dialogues were not recorded. Overall, it's a very mediocre and short expansion. Decent atmosphere and story is shrouded by subpar dialogues, combat and straight-forward quests. Would I recommend it? If you never played the series, then play the first Two Worlds, don't even consider starting with this expansion. However, if you have, and were not overly bored with TW2 and are alright with more of it, then Call of the Tenebrae is a decent expansion to go through in 4-5 hours, but only for a cheap price. Mediocre/10. If you need junky RPG fix and already finished all good games in the genre, then go for it - you probably won't get bored before it finishes. Otherwise not worth the bother.

Cela fait maintenant un petit moment que j'ai abandonné "Two Worlds II HD - Call of the Tenebrae", je n'avais pas encore pris le temps de rédiger une évaluation à ce sujet pour évoquer mes raisons... Le jeu, bien que daté visuellement, demeure agréable à jouer. Cependant, un gros bémol vient entâcher le tout et ne me permet pas de le recommander. Il s'agit là d'un standalone, un jeu à part entière, qui se lance sans avoir besoin de posséder Two Worlds II. Il existe également en tant que DLC, et c'est uniquement dans ce format que je peux vous le recommander, si vous possédez le jeu de base. En effet, dans sa version standalone, on commence avec un personnage de niveau 60, ce qui est déstabilisant, on a l'impression d'avoir loupé quelque chose, de même en ce qui concerne l'histoire du jeu. Par ailleurs, le jeu possède exactement les mêmes succès que s'il s'agissait du jeu de base et son DLC. Autrement dit, la plupart d'entre eux sont impossibles à débloquer car ils ne concernent que le jeu original. Par exemple, comment voulez-vous débloquer le succès nécessitant d'atteindre le niveau 20 sachant que l'on commence avec un personnage de niveau 60... Et ce n'est qu'un exemple parmi tant d'autres, la grosse majorité des succès ne concerne que le jeu original. j'ai alors abandonné le jeu qui perdait de son intérêt puisqu'il n'y avait aucun challenge avec les succès bloqués, juste de la frustration. J'ai écrit en septembre dernier au support de Topware pour évoquer ce problème, mon mail est resté sans réponse à ce jour. Bref, passez votre chemin si ce standalone vous tente, tournez-vous vers sa version DLC uniquement. Vous n'aurez pas l'impression d'avoir loupé une grosse partie du jeu et les succès seront déblocables. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1882845619 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1882845953 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1882845989 [quote=] [h1][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/41126012/] Cliquez ici pour découvrir plus d'évaluations [/url][/h1] [b]N'hésitez pas à cliquer sur "suivre" si vous appréciez le contenu de ma page de curation.

[b]ВНИМАНИЕ:[/b] в магазине Steam две страницы для данного DLC. На одной предлагается версия, встраиваемая в основную игру, на другой - полностью самостоятельный вариант (в логотипе приписка Stand-Alone), который имеет свою отдельную страницу в вашей библиотеке, для запуска не требует основной игры и хранит сейвы отдельно. Данный обзор про самостоятельный вариант. Так вот: [b]не покупайте этот кусок дерьма[/b] (и на сторонних ресурсах скорее всего продаётся именно он). Из главного меню можно запустить только кампанию этого дополнения и всё, при этом скопированы все достижения, включая основную игру, ДЛЦ1 и онлайн. Они тупо поленились вырезать лишнее!!! В список не попали только достижения из следующего ДЛЦ3. При этом версия игры - 2.0, тогда как основная игра на данный момент 2.8. И прочие унаследованные болезни исходного варианта - полностью отсутствующая локализация и сильно устаревшая и погано-мыльно-заблюреная графика (с помощью напильника - консольных команд - картинку можно кардинально улучшить, но сама графика остаётся устаревшей). Так что дизлайк однозначный. PS: Немного пошаманив и скопировав некоторые файлы из каталога оригинальной игры можно вернуть частичную локализацию основных элементов. Насколько это потом будет работать стабильно, я не проверял. Если ещё пошаманить дальше с копированием экзешников, возможно, даже удастся подтянуть этот вариант до уровня исходной игры и даже честно получить все достижения... PS2: Если посмотреть глобальную статистику достижений самостоятельного варианта (а там у всех достижений, которые нельзя получить, по 0,9% получивших), можно прикинуть, сколь много народа балуется нечестными путями зарабатывания достижений.

This DLC is kinda too short. I guess its okay for an modern DLC, but Pirates of the Flying Fortress had set a bar there: it had more content and then there's a question of quality of that content. Call of the Tenebrae for that matter... mostly sucks? Side quests are annoying (who likes collecting myriad of different plants) and plain stupid (instead of being supposedly humorous). Main story is kind of just powering through a bunch of enemies, so if your character is weak at combat you'd probably spend a lot of time (and save/loads), but going as fire mage I had it finished in under 3 hours. And then there's awful voice acting and awful animations. Something something remember, Two Worlds I? I'm not kidding, quite a few of animations are on that level. Thumbs down here, you did way better with original game.

Próbáltam valami frappánsat kitalálni, de nem ment. A lényeg hogy offos a téma.
