Two worlds 3

[ToeFungo]

Is two worlds 3 a thing anymore. I been hoping for years now that we would see this game come but all news on it at this point are all old with zero updates.

They don't have the money to hire talented game developers. In the prime years of Two Worlds (2006-2011) they had 10 people at Topware (the publisher) and 30+ people at Reality Pump. Now it's a skeleton crew of probably 5 or less people - who mostly work support for their past games. Why is this the case? Because they put too much resources into Raven's Cry and it was a total failure, the devs didn't want to make the game, their relationship was already shaky with the publisher and that was the last straw, so their talent left for a multitude of reasons such as bad management, diminishing revenue, bankruptcy etc..

The chances of getting a legitimate sequel by 2030 is probably less than 10%.

Sad to hear that really love the games. I do like Raven's cry i did bet it a long time ago. Maybe the Elex team could make it i would love to see that but that will never happen.

This whole genre is dead unfortunately.

which genre? I see Two Worlds 1 as being: a true open world, non AAA Euro-RPG PC exclusive (Xbox 360 version was a mess, surprised they even passed the standards, probably bribed them) It's hard to define but I think that golden age of PC-first game development is long dead. But there are still non AAA Euro RPGs.

Which games? I'm not able to find them :/

not disagreeing with you just curious which genre of games were like two worlds in the past that are gone now? Not sure there were many. Gothic, well a spin-off of gothic still exists (Elex) and Witcher and Elder Scrolls still exist but are on a really really long hiatus. By the time they come back the gaming industry may be irredeemably casualized, many say it already is. There are Open world RPGs that aren't AAA still aren't there? Kingdom Come Deliverance, Outward

[One Winged Angel]

Sacred, Gothic, Elex, Witcher, Two Worlds, The Elder Scrolls, Outward are all which come to my mind.
Those are SO few games. This is why I'm saying that this genre is dead.
Witcher, Elex and Outward are the only ones witch are not extremely old.

Now look at how many souls-like games are out there for comparison. It's ridiculous.

Yeah, maybe because those games sell better and are easier to make. The demand for sandbox RPGs hasn't just gone away. The next big one will be hugely successful. they made Elden Ring more of a hybrid between souls-like and open world, so even they're acknowledging the demand in the AAA scene for open world action RPGs

Therefore: Souls-like games = challenging games with hard difficulty?
I would love to play one!
I want love Two Worlds, Gothic 3 and Oblivion too , but they are never challenging, always much too easy figths. Fighting is just a brainless LMB click frenzy. You don't need a strategy, you don't need to move tactical, just keep clicking on LMB and they all fall down like dead flies.

So ....

Can you name me some very good souls-like games = challenging RPGs with a tough difficulty and still decent enough Graphics like in Two Worlds?

I'd be in your debt.

[One Winged Angel]

Two Worlds has no tough difficulty....

I'm annoyed that todays "difficulty" is purely mechanical difficulty. How good you can handle your character movements and how fast your reflexes are.
That's "brainless" to me. A monkey probably has faster reflexes than you. Does it make the monkey less brainless?

I really wonder why most RPGs have no intellectual difficulty, besides annoying riddles.

Yeah the fun vanishs after a while if all fights are just a LeftMouseButton clicking frenzy and zillions of enemies drop dead like flies.

Don't understand me wrong: I enjoy the game, I kinda love it, but it would be so much better if there wouldn't be a zillion ways to become too overpowered. A balanced game is always better than an unballanced game. Especially if you choose "difficulty = hard".

I haven't played Two Worlds II yet, but I guess it will not be different. (?)

It all comes down to the person to tell you the truth. I just like more easy games as at my age i just hate trying to over think a game but i so understand your point also.
