Mom: "We have Oblivion at home."
Oblivion at home:
This game has my favourite game experience of all time - when the population of a city gets wiped out for plot reasons, I used the resurrection spell to bring them back... Along with the orcs that killed them. From then on orcs wandered around, sharing homes and sweeping the streets along with the townsfolk. Absolutely delightful that the devs allowed it.
Oh you too lol, I was wondering if I imagined it been this game lol n
I’m not surprised dying can cause people to reconsider their life decisions.
@@mayalewis2956I went so far as to sack every town and raise them
@@maxjohnson4043lol me too
Being resurrected along with the villagers you murdered, makes you a friendlier, happier orc.
"Bring me some taint."
"Mission accomplished!"
"Wait, why art thou disrobing?"
"Bring me some taint. If it taint too much to ask."
Thank you for the laugh 😂😂
Fun fact: kiting enemies into other enemies can speed run you the game. (SPOILERS)
Gandahar, who you meet in the beginning, is actually the big bad, and you're free to attack him. You can't beat him of course - he has all of his actual endgame stats and abilities, which is pretty cool - but you CAN drag him along to a village full of unkillable NPCs who will get aggroed by splash damage when he casts magic. Then, just like the Cuckoos in Ocarina of Time, not even plot armor can save the big bad from getting an epic beatdown.
This is how open world games should work.
I have the mental image of Sauron getting curb stomped by a bunch of Hobbits from that description and I love it.
That's exactly what I did when I played the game, I usually do this in many RPGs in order to loot better gear from dead NPC or finish higher lvl quests that require me to kill mobs. When the cutscene started and credits rolled in I realized what happened and started laughing my arse off for 10 min....
Hah the funniest glitch from the first two worlds game.
Actually they patched that out. I know because I tried.
XD this game’s creators thought “oh you think the cinematic will save you?”
Seriously that fireball in the middle of a conversation was hilarious
“Do you have the healing potions?”
*character has a guilty look that screams ‘I might’ve drank them’*
You can also just walk the enemy into the village, have him hit a villager and they'll beat him up and you immediately finish the game, since he's the big bad.
@@Eonymia What?! O_o I didn’t know that.
I can’t believe you didn’t mention the epic Eastern European soft metal power ballad on the game’s main menu. For me it sums up the charming janky ridiculousness of the entire game. I actually grew to love it.
Suddenly…
Listen to the band Leaves Eyes, I grew to love that kind of music because of Two Worlds! I love that main menu song. The song Lovelorn - Leaves Eyes is really good
There was a time when my cousin and I played Two Worlds almost every day. That game was so stupid, but such a good time. Nothing like slaying an entire city so you can fuse all their swords into one mega-strong sword
What the actual fuck xD
Duping thousands of taint shoots, dropping them, then killing the ridiculous amount of zombies that spawn with meteor. Staring at the sunset over the lake waiting for them to spawn.
@@Mihoshika dropped so many that the game crashed and I lost all of them
@@jakewilliams6166 Just have to have someone dupe you some more ;3
Trade them some unicorn pots for it.
I remember this game series being one of the few where you could beat the game as a summoner. It was still pretty jank at the time, but almost no other games allowed for effective summon spells.
@Viewer yeah, that's not true at all.
a summon build was the only viable way I could handle the combat in this game. there was no way I could handle some of the towers or waves of enemies in certain parts without something else for them to hit.
This game was wonderful i just wish the combat wasn't so jank
I played the second entry into that series (and finished it) the balance was utterly FUCKED and beating the final boss as a with a melee built was purely luck based
@@norjia not gonna lie two worlds 2 was quite fun at the beginning, the setting in the start was also kinda cool
My granddaughter picked this game on Steam and then we had to play it for weeks. I had more fun watching her play than the game was worth on its own.
I think what people who disliked or ignored this game missed is how wonderful the game was. It's so seriously flawed in almost every way, but it's just such a good time. Kind of like buying French cars over German: the German cars are so much better made, but the French cars have all the personality.
Can't believe people have been sleeping on the comedic potential of this game. Anyway, great video, thanks for the laughs, and enjoy your channel blowing up in the coming months.
One can only dream 😀 Glad you enjoyed the video mate
Goofy and jank as it is, the loot upgrading system and gameplay variety (when it isn't broken) has made this one of my favorite games to go back to.
I got so confused initially. I would buy a better version of something I was wearing and would drag and drop it over. It made this weird effect but I never worried about it. Only later did I realize it wasn't unequipping the old item, it was combining them. The fact that it was implemented in such an effortless way, it's not a skill you need to learn, it's not something you need to pay to do, you don't need to find some special npc, just drag and drop. Love that shit
@@Relevus two worlds has such potential to be a good game
what I loved about it was the world design, the starting areas feel so homely and the more you venture south the more exotic it gets, but since the enemies become so batshit OP it doesn't feel unearned to get to the new environments
This must be one of the funniest videos about Two Worlds I've seen, if not the funniest - the duck opening those doors killed me.
Yeah, same here. Wasn’t expecting that at all.
I recall there's a point in the game where in the story an entire city gets destroyed and all the city's NPCs are killed. Yet the game has a resurrection spell....you may be able to tell where I'm going with this.
Yep, you can literally bring all those dead NPCs back to life. The game doesn't recognized that you've done this, the NPCs just act like they did before the story point, but I remember it being interesting. I recall it being really busted as well, you can basically get infinite stats, and became basically a god no enemy could kill. Looks like I played it in 2018, but I think it was something to do with combining armor and weapons you picked up, and adding its stats to you main set of equipment, just over and over. Wasn't even a glitch I think, used a forging or smithing skill to do it. Or maybe you could keep brewing permanent stat boost potions with an alchemy skill? Been about half a decade so I don't recall clearly. The game itself is real bad overall, but it still had some moments like that, that stuck with me.
Keep hearing the second game is a huge improvement and is supposed to be pretty solid at least, still need to play it.
I always wondered why Cloud never thought of using a Phoenix Down after Aerith died in FFVII. I think this game unintentionally provides the answer.
@theotherther1 I've always just assumed in rpgs like ff your party members are just on the verge of death in normal combat when they "die". The Aerith scene in ff7 just made it all not make any sense lol
@@theotherther1 because when HP hits zero in battle, they are "knocked out," not killed. Presumably if they all get knocked out, then there's no one around to heal them up.
I actually love this game. The second game was real iffy for me, never could play again it after my first run.
Second game was janky and bonkers too but not as much as the first
Ah, a classic experience. I was so happy to play a new open world RPG, I didn't even mind that it was profoundly wonky at times. Back in the day, open world games were hard to come by! I'm glad they've become a more common genre today. I think exploration is wonderful.
Unfortunately the open world games of today don't have the same depth, openness and randomness like those back in the day. They're too safe and cookie cutter.
@@Armaan8014 Some of the best ones are the old ones, to be sure.
I don't know about randomness, but I fell in love with Elden Ring. That was a work of art, fulfilling and exceeding my expectations for a great open world game.
Dear God, this game was such a fever dream. I can remember buying this in a bargain bin and being astonished at how bad it was .The voice acting was the funniest part 🤣 literally like 3 voice actors for the entire game ,Fighting was junky but extensive with tons of skills and gear .Watching this was such a nostalgia trip
I mean, yeah, it was a bargain bin game, but I probably spent thousands of hours playing it. It's a pretty good game, especially for the time. Voice acting and story are a bit iffy, but satisfying gameplay. Multiplayer was nice, too.
I got it as a Christmas gift 😅
You know what, this is one of those games that I wouldn't mind seeing a full on remake for. There is some good in here. With a competent team I could see this coming back from the void and doing really well.
At the same time it's gotta have some of the jank though. Just a little. And have an option to switch to the original voice acting. Keeps things interesting.
I just made a similar comment. Take a broken game like this and make a great remake. Dont Remake/Remaster games that are already masterpieces on their own
Yes but it still would be TAINTED by the fundamentally bad plot.
Yeah, and the multiplayer component was a blast even though it was unbelievably broken when it came out, at least on the Xbox 360. The sequel is actually leagues better, and I think the team that made it could remake the first given the opportunity/desire
Just so long as the Mercenary still says "Mayhaps," I'd be down with that. XD
I loved this game back in the days! The magic system was quite cool. Actually, it was my first big open world RPG, I've never heard of Elder Scrolls back then.
This game would have put me off ever trying the elder scrolls.... Thank god I played them first 😂
Two world 2 is still at the top of my "best magic system" list
It's simple enough for new players to grasp it easily, but complex enough to allow alot of customization and different builds for veteran players
The fact that they called it the Taint. Hearing our guest say it so. Mandates I sat down my game because I'm laughing so hard I cannot see the screen. Definitely the video I am glad I stumbled across this morning
A fun thing from the game is that in its release version, you could beat the game very early on by getting Gandohar killed by the villagers of Komorin. Turned out the main trigger for the game ending was Gandohar's death, and those villagers heavily outnumber him and would rip him apart.
I remember loving this game. The script and dialogue was the best part. So awkward and entertaining, yet strangely charming
I played two worlds 2 co-op with my brother. It was one of the best so-bad-its-funny games we ever played. Maybe you could review that one in the future.
The sequel is a lot more competent as a game, especially compared to the first one
6:07 His expression is like a guilty puppy, "Did you have a little accident?" Lol
I love this game simply because when my house was burgled they left only this one on the shelf.
hahahhahaaha 😂😂😂
I cant blame them for not bothering with this game
i loved this game, i wish the industry still had competition.
My kyodai and I spent months and months playing the open world multiplayer together way back in middle school. Shit was so fun, just grinding our characters up and crafting necromancy spells
I've played both Two Worlds games and I love them. They're so janky and weird. I wouldn't call them "good" games, but they were fun, and that's all that matters to me.
I know that ravens cry is made by the same team, and that was a disaster, that seemingly got fixed at least a bit
@@tivvy2vs21 yeah i have that game too, haven't played it yet tho, but as long as it's not a broken game, i bet I'll enjoy that one too XD
@@stupidtookmynick yeah, apparently it has some weird privacy stuff, but you can get around it.
You should have done a deeper dive into the alchemy. With enough digging around for ingredients, you can get quite a number of permanent stat boosts. I believe beaver livers were crucial to the most powerful boosts.
I had Two Worlds 1 and 2 and i loved them both, deeply flawed as they are. In two worlds 1 plate armour actually prevents you from being a sneaky archerer, unlike in elder scrolls. And once you get powerful enough bandits wisely avoid attacking you. I think the deepest flaw with the combat is that really key combat moves are locked behind skills that will take a while to get if you want a diverse set.
I'm not even a minute in, and I'm already crying with laughter
I love it when games let shit happen when in conversations.
I remember talking to that cult leader(?) in fallout 4 that ultimately takes your stuff, and in the middle of the conversation, a vertibird fell out of the sky killing everyone but my character.
Easily my most memorable moment with that game
2:20”Looks like my in laws” “BLEGH!!😂😂😂
Remember the very early versions of this game. You could use potions as ingrediance for new potions, multiplying the effect and duration, until it became permanent. Utterly broken. It was fun to be able to nuke enemies from miles away, but after becoming GOD, it did not take long to get boring.
*Allergic kid tastes peanut butter for the first time
*Him in the next second: 3:30
Congratulations on 50,000 subscribers, Mitch! Half way to that silver play button! I’ve really enjoyed watching your channel grow. Keep up the good work, buddy!
Thanks mate! Truly appreciate all the support. Have been blown away (like in this vid lol) and really looking forward bringing much more that I really hope people like yourself continue to enjoy.
I love Two Worlds. I have played it to completion twice over the years, completing all side quests, all caves, the main storyline, and destroying all villages and cities. The best part is when your character is so strong and untouchable, that you can just destroy an entire city, and your character just laughs while doing it. The funniest parts are when you commit murder in a city and get caught, and then you run around the city and everyone yells "Ye Gods!!" and "Away, cur!". And then trying to bribe the guards. This game is hilarious and one of my favorite open world RPGs of all time. If you have not played it, you are missing out. Its 100+ hours of pure bliss. If you have a 360, you can get a copy for like $2. It is a TON of entertainment for $2.
1:53 "it's almost harvestin season"
I remember playing this game, I had fun with it. I didn't know what I was doing the entire time and it was pretty difficult, and then at some point I was strong enough to just dominate everything in the game effortlessly lol.
Love your content, always excited to see your videos pop up.
I will never forget the NPCs eyes rolling so far back into their skulls mid conversation 😂
If you played the sequel you'd never take your character seriously ever, every conversation your guy/girl was in was cross-eyed, how do you intimidate anyone specially the big bad while lookin cross-eyed?
@@Darkness5423 🤣🤣 Insanity!
Ed Wood didn't die, he lives in hiding as a video game developer.
The most unintentionally funny thing I've seen in an RPG is Drakkhen, a 3D RPG on the SNES. When you enter conversation, your party spreads out across the screen, but when doing this they don't stop interacting with the world. If you talk to an NPC from the wrong angle your party members can drown themselves as you're having a nice chat.
I love the Two worlds games so janky but fun
I lost it when that fucking pigeon opened that door and casually walked in 5:07
11:03 "Versus...
*MR. BEAST!!!* "
If you want goofy, the final boss is hostile to guards, but way, way weaker than them. It’s possible to lure him into town at the beginning of the game where the guards murder him, which causes the end credits to roll, during which the guards will constantly scream over the credits.
There is one game series that you may or may not be aware of that I think you would love and to see a video from you on this would be amazing in the future, Dungeon Lords. Its on steam actually as of a few years ago. VERY rough gem
Heeheehee!! Nailed in the middle of a convo xD
I'll be adding this game to my "consider playing" list :)
09:20 onwards had me in tears. Absolutely hilarious.
I like how you can get the people in the very first town to kill the final boss within one minute of starting the game.
Should definitely do the sequel as well. I have fairly fond memories of the weird janky linear coop campaign where you sort of play as bad guys.
The big question burning in the back of my mind is whether chickens are intelligent enough to open doors or if chickens are considered part of the brotherhood, so the doors are opened for them.
as a teenager at the time, I liked it, somewhat, had some fun with it, upgrading gear was fun
They nailed the Bethesda dead-eyes spot on.
What absolute madness! This game would have me In stitches constantly with just the awkward dialog alone. 😂
Discovered you today but this video got the sub. Bloody two worlds. Great video. Going to enjoy binge watching.
I remember having Two Worlds and being unable to finish it because the final battle/cutscene glitched on me. Nobody I talk to remembers this game existed and it haunts me because I genuinely had no idea what was going on at any time.
Edit: I also forgot I had a rule of "no evil in RPGs" so I was immediately forbidden from a good chunk of the magic system since my parents thought it'd make me violent if I got to use evil magic
7:44 "what's going on there?" Foot binding, it was the Chinese practice of breaking and reshaping girl's feet by keeping it bound in place.
Dude just didnt give a fwxk you were in a cutscene. Love games like this! 😂😂
7:22 this one broke me. “bring me some taint”. I’m just… oh god… 😂
Love your content and videos always click as soon as I see you upload keep ‘em up but don’t burn yourself out
When jank gains metaphysical proportions.
Two Worlds is a game I often recommend just because its systems are not completely broken and would love to see something like it as an MMORPG.
I was obsessed with this game as a kid, gained some lifelong friends thru it and lost others. I remember a dupe glitch, trade a friend something and as you confirm the trade open the disc tray and both people get the item. I remember using this to dupe the poison gas spell card and you could enhance spells with however many more of that card you had. So i had from what i can remember atleast 2k gas cards and being able to just gas any group of enemy i could find. Truly one of the worst games ever made.
"it's only a flesh wound, step brother"
"That's quite a gash you have there"
Aaah Two Worlds, I remember how I'd managed to utterly break the melee in this game by using the system where you could merge weapons together and improve the result with a mix of the two weapon's stats and bonuses. At launch and early on, it did not have restriction or limits and it was easy to make weapons with damage enough to one shot almost any enemy met and enough buffs to make the character nearly unkillable.
dude you're hilarious. I appreciate the content
This game reminds me how much effort was actually put into Oblivion that despite all it's....quirks, it's still a solidly built game.
That duck casually opening the door gave me a huge laugh, much needed on a stressful day. Thanks.
9:25 omg! That was the best part of the video.
This was literally my first RPG, and I found it AMAZING. My brother became a Death Demon Lord, while I became one of the most powerful Archer Alchemist in the area. My brother and I would make up imaginary battles between our characters, and while he would always use Necromancy to revive somehow, I would always have a way to keep my stamina going to make sure I kept up. Hated the sequel, but overall loved the game. Just wish I could have made it to that big fortress in the upper right; tried Skyrimming the mountain with a horse or myself, and couldn't make it.
I love Two Worlds. I have played it to completion twice over the years, once in 2008 on 360 and once in 2016 on PC- completing all side quests, all caves, the main storyline, and destroying all villages and cities. The best part is when your character is so strong and untouchable, that you can just destroy an entire city, and your character just laughs while doing it. It was funny to commit murder in a city and get caught, and then you run around the city and everyone yells "Ye Gods!!" and "Away, cur!". And then trying to bribe the guards. This game is hilarious and one of my favorite open world RPGs of all time.
the farewell *smash* in the beginning 13/10. :D
[sheds no tear; not even a flinch, whilst getting hydralic-pressed by an Indiana-Jones-trap]
That had me hooked and chortling for the rest of the vid.
The Two Worlds series is without a shred of doubt in my feeble mind, the greatest title of the RPG genre.
For some reason the clip of that duck opening the front door before waddling in made me laugh harder than I've laughed at anything for a long time. Thanks!
Two Worlds Two has the best magic system ever made.
Craft a spell that hits the enemy with a fireball, freezes them and summons an enemy monster to attack them whilst frozen.
'the local wildlife returning to their households ...' 🤣
i think it was in the release version of that game that the upgrading system of items had no limitation so by just wandering around and farming items you could become invincible and totally brake the game in many ways. like just walking to place your are not supposed to be and just kill everyone like the Ork Kapital without any real progress in the main quest
No joke, the moment I read the video title I thought "What, is it Two Worlds?"
You didn't disappoint!
I actually enjoy this game more then Oblivion.
There is so much good and goofiness that it's easy for me to say this is one of my favorite open world RPGs from the 2000s
He rides like Napoleon dynamite in the extra scene
Thank you sir, for making me laugh after a couple of horrible days. I really should get this game and play it myself. :)
My pleasure mate
I've been laughing so hard to your videos that I just had to subscribe. Cheers from Finland!
i liked both games, they had their very own charme, a bit like the gothic games. also the developer was a pretty small studio from poland that had done a couple of good strategy games before working on two worlds, of course they couldnt keep up with bethesda, but their accomplishments are still impressive.
Your content is hilarious. I love it!
Two worlds is a game I remember very fondly. Such cheesy dialogue, such wild abilities to use with creativity. I still have fond memories of when I wanted to see what it would look like if I summoned all my summoning spells as fast as possible before any expired from being alive too long. My gang was 9 strong and involved many things including a flesh golem and stone golem, some badass demon, a couple monsters
This video was so funny! The narrator was amazingly hilarious! Loved it. I remember the game coming out but never played it. I feel like I missed out 😂
Oh man, that bird opening the door and waltzing inside got me good. 🤣
i always loved playing this game, probably sank at least a thousand hours into it. the multiplayer mode combined with the gear fusing system was just addicting.
The "Taint" joke is a classic.
I played this a number of years ago and renamed it "Taints Two Tainted" and that's how I still refer to it.
I just checked and it's been 8 years...f*ck me.
I found this game in the special edition box for like $20 back in the day (like 2008?) and the store gave me two copies for some reason. I played this game so much more than Oblivion. It was janky as hell, but the gameplay was so much fun! It had a ton of features that weren't in Oblivion. I don't understand why this game got so much hate back then, but I figure it might have to do with its lack of polish and how we were so focused on HD graphics looking better and better back then.
You should cover The Dungeon Of Naheulbeuk next, this should be a funny one.
Also, the Deathspank trilogy and Overlord.
Oh how i love your dry english Humor you Legend. I am currently undergoin lung Transplantation after you chest with man attached almost finished me of with the help of Soja milk .
Well done mate
6:44 It could be both her sister and child at the same time, probably common in those days,
I'd rather not describe how this occurs lol ;)
"Forsooth!"
*dies*
"Oh thank God for that!"
Yes that was JEJ as the Two Worlds narrator. IIRC he said in an interview that he didn't want his name on it but did it just because he liked it.
5:09, that's the duck's home now.
This was so much fun to play years ago :) thanks for the nostalgia
Alchemy is basically the most overpowered mechanic in this game. You can brew potions that permanently increase your stats - so you are pretty soon practical invincible.
Brought back memories. Two Worlds 2, I was rank 2 player in NA (world? i believe just NA) in PvP. Wasn't a massive scene, but big enough.
Miss that game dearly lol.
Two Worlds II actually refined the unrefined style of the series and even had a GOTY hype by such aurhorities as Reality Pump, developers of such notable games as Two Worlds and Two Worlds II.
I found this game did a lot right. I think multiplayer was easily one of the best on the 360.
When it worked at least!
*Oblivion:*
- Completely ass-backwards and just about objectively bad leveling system that actively punishes you with sub-optimal stats if you actually play your class as intended.
- Level-scaling the entire game world to the player character in a way that even ruins immersion and makes the game more difficult as you progress in levels.
- If you don't actively metagame *against* the previous two things, your character actually becomes weaker in comparison to the enemies upon leveling.
- Quest rewards are mostly level-scaled as well. Low level quest rewards are complete ass so it's better to not engage with quests until higher levels. Which contradicts the game's own supposed design philosophy.
- Just about every enemy in the world respawns. Not necessarily an issue in itself but it only takes 3 days in-game which is ridicilously fast. (In addition to some game cell hijinks changing the respawns depending on your current location.)
- Next to no dialogue choices or varying outcomes for most quests.
- No real choices within factions. Cannot join Necromancers, cannot join Blackwood Company, cannot betray Dark Brotherhood or Thieve's Guild etc.
- No real Necromancy.
- Summoning spells suck. REALLY suck. Most of the summoned creatures are cripplingly nerfed versions of their enemy counterparts. (Summoned Xivilai has permanently 0 fatigue and never gets a weapon ffs...)
- No polearms/staff fighting whatsoever.
*Two Worlds:*
- Does the opposite of pretty much all of the above.
- Many flaws attributed to this game also apply for Oblivion.
- Many compliments given to Oblivion also apply for this game.
Oblivion killer or Oblivion on steroids? No.
A damn good RPG that _yes actually_ rivals Oblivion? Absolutely, *objectively* yes.
1:14 You hear James Earl Jones, I hear Jermaine Clement.
