Just read the review over there. Jesus the guy must have been on his period or something. As if HE could code something even close to this game.

Having just completed the game after putting almost 120 hours into it, after walking many mountains, although the ending felt a little disappointing, I was very happy with the game until ... although once you start using poison cloud as a staple ingredient it detracts from the hack/slash fun.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I've tried oblivion and many other rpgs but have been unable to play them because of the motion issue that some get due to camera perspective. I was *very* happy to finally be able to play something without having to give up within 30mins with a migraine.

And if any Lewis Derby reads this, get off yer high horse and come out with something to prove your better.

I'm sorry, but "well do it better then" is a horrible argument that says nothing and might be heard on a playground. I don't need to be a master chef to say that a dish tastes horrible or a movie star to point out how horrible Steven Seagal is.

If you want to refute someone's claims then pick apart their argument. Say what you don't agree with and why, don't call them 'loozahs'.That just gets you answers like this one.

Which game are you talking about in fact?

Indeed, it is a terrible argument.
I'd like to see such an argument work in the real world when you go into a restaurant or to a mechanic or ......

He was talking about Two Worlds.

Just in case nobody noticed, the Two Worlds forum (which never generated very many posts) got merged into this one.

Lewis Denby here. Glad to see my work is finding its way into all corners of the interglobe.

Sark: funnily enough, I've heard of a few people for whom the first person perspective makes them feel ill in some way. So you are not alone in that regard. Oblivion does have an option to alter the camera to the same close-up third-person perspective as Two Worlds, though, so perhaps you would get on better with that.

I'm a games critic, not a developer, though I do dabble with the latter in my time off. I'd be really interested to hear your thoughts, Sark, on Two Worlds EPIC Edition, and how they - presumably - differed from my own. It's not a bad game, by any means, and a 5/10 mark represents the very middle ground of quality at Honest Gamers. But neither myself nor my colleague who reviewed it for the 360 felt it stood up against certain competition. I'm always open for thorough discussion, though. Perhaps you liked something I didn't, or maybe I missed something you found.

Either way, thank you for reading and discussing.

Take care,
Lewis

Please don't recommend Oblivion to our players. We're trying to get the teenaged ones to stretch their minds, not retreat to childhood.

So, what does that say about certain adults playing the game? A fast-forward to wearing pastel PJs in a romper room called "Sunset Valley?"

We have no figures, but I strongly suspect the demographics for Oblivion are somewhat younger than they were for Morrowind. If you figure in the type of quests where the desired object is labeled "suspicious papers," then it's clear they aren't aiming for adults seeking to use their waking minds.
