Is the first world the new world? Or the second world? Are the Two Worlds new worlds too?

I watched my roommate play through the first Two Worlds.  The game seemed absolutely atrocious.  Terrible graphics, terrible dialogue, terrible gameplay -- and the ending somehow one-upped the rest of the game as far as terrible goes.   How bad that game is is a running joke in our apartment. 
 
That being said, the reviews for Two Worlds II are actually pretty positive (both in an absolute sense and compared to the first game), so I guess we'll see.

Could this be any more generic? 
 
That narrator could've been dubbed over any RPG trailer and still wouldn't look out of place. It was basically RPG 101.

If you thought Oblivion's voice acting was bad, then you don't want to hear what the first Two World's was like.

the first one is a game that you could get into if you gave it enough of a chance. I'll probably get this.

Dude as bad as the first one was, it had a gamey-ness that made it really appealing for me, i played through like 800 achieve points worth of it. Gameplay still looks pretty weak, dialogue is probably still fairly weak, I'll totally buy this.

It looks really cool but I thought that first one looked cool too, until I played it and realized it was a terrible game.

This looks like the brain child of Demon's Souls and Oblivion, which can definitely be a good thing, at least I'm desperately hoping that it's good.

I never played the first one, but this looks like it'll actually be good. Hopefully it'll satisfy my craving for an open world fantasy game, because I can only replay Oblivion so many times.

It's guna hinge on the combat, voice acting and story, graphically it looks fine, pretty in places and not completely ugly in the rest, animations look a lot, lot better than  the last game, but the combat looks a little worrying and as for voice acting and story, nothing on that yet.

Honestly, I'm done with fantasy settings, I think. I can not get excited like I used to for anything fantasy, be it movies, games or books. Sci-fi and modern fictional settings just suit my tastes more, and it's strange because I used to be THE D and D nerd.

The first one had great potential but was somewhat hampered by bugs and some inconsistent gameplay. I still liked it though. But hopefully this one will be better (in all aspects) :)

Seeing promos from other companies for a game that is a long way from being completed and released.  Is always a bad sign.
 
Still interested, just because I like a good looking fantasy RPG.  They clean up that combat and I might take a second look.  All those pretty environments are nothing, if I can't interact with their inhabitants in a satisfying and meaningful way.

I am one of the few who really liked the first game even though it was a mess (PC version was much much better than the console versions, still screwy but better) I have high hopes for this its looking like they really learned from their mistakes, Angry Joe has a developer interview and they were not afraid to say that the first game was a mess and it looks like they have really got their act together.

Yea, I remember the first one looked good... and then you played it. 
 
Something tells me this might end up the exact same way.  
I have a 0% chance of ever purchasing this.

Definitely interested.  It kind of reminded me slightly of Demon's Souls.

I'm not 100% sold on this game yet, but does seem to be shaping up quite nicely. I will say this though, At this point I'm more excited about Two Worlds II than Halo Reach.

I surprisingly enjoyed the first one, until I reached halfway where it just got extremely hard and tiring, Hope this turns out good.

This game better be extremely awesome, or it's just gonna make me extra pissed off that we get Two Worlds 2, but seemingly will never get sequels to things like, Beyond Good and Evil, Skies of Arcadia, Psychonauts, etc.  :p

The first one was promising enough and had enough innovative ideas to garner some interest from various places. They got a a rare second opportunity, but if they blow it you can kiss the two worlds franchise ( if you can even call it that at this point ) goodbye.
