Lu Posted May 19, 2010 Patters said: Wasn't this the video which started all of the Citizen Kane stuff? I saw it close to when it was aired and it kick started a lot of it at least. No, some people had been writing that "Someday the Citizen Kane of games will come!" but this guy just claimed that it was already here, in the form of Metroid Prime. Not that there is anything wrong with Metroid Prime. Thompson said: The Avatar of games? Or, you know, James Cameron's Avatar: The Movie: The Game. Reveal hidden contents YES I KNOW.

mikemariano Posted May 25, 2010 Oh, IGN.com, you've lost that in-your-face spirit. Your pull quotes aren't what they used to be.

JonCole Posted May 28, 2010 IGN may be a little better nowadays with Anthony Gallegos and Arthur Gies on watch, but developers continue to carry the torch of producing shitty quotes for shitty games. Case in point, Two Worlds 2: <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdvP0RR0YdY&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdvP0RR0YdY&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object> "Intriguing" - IGN.com Two uses of the word intriguing in the preview: Quote The visual effects weren't fully implemented in the build I saw so I can't speak as to whether the casting looks good, but the potential for customization was really impressive, and made the idea of playing a caster more intriguing to me than it usually is in other fantasy games. Quote With a game like Two Worlds 2 it's ultimately hard to say how good or bad it could be until you get to try it, but the new engine and obvious attention to the critiques that were leveled against the original make the sequel intriguing. Ah, Southpeak, you dirty dogs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Murdoc Posted May 28, 2010 JonCole said: "Intriguing" - IGN.com . Those are some pretty awful quotes for a trailer. I haven't followed this but from the initial comments I saw it's expected to suck, even with some neat visuals. Anyway, pretty hilarious and vague quotes that really could be taken out of context. "Interesting" "Theres something on my screen" "I dunno..." "Gamers are in for a surprise... because this is a flaming turd" "Already looks worlds apart... from anything playable" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thyroid Posted May 28, 2010 Haha "Intriguing". Anyone else read that in a droll British voice? Though the quote Southpeak used to describe Two Worlds is itself ridiculous: "Travel the lands and towns of Antaloor including an expanded area Southeast and experience breathtaking landscapes, lively cities, and the thrilling call of ferocious battle."

What tickles me (insert colour here) about Two Worlds 2, is that it won't be particularly hard to top the first one. Which "intrigues" me as to why everyone is trying to murder the thing in pre-release. The first one was a very generic sort of hack-and-slash, with a couple interesting ideas. That's about it. Not hard to top that. If nothing else, it was a very expansive world, and I enjoy that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
