Ended up buying it. I'll post impressions once I actually boot it up.
Now all I need are some reports regarding how it works on Linux using Steam Proton.

Okay, I just deleted the app, reinstalled from disc and let it update. Still only 1.02 (7 GB). This is a European retail version, are you in US?
On PC atleast it plays pretty well. No crashes and at ultra settings it actually looks pretty good. No idea if tge 60 fps lock can be removed?
I really like the exploring aspect of the game.

There's supposed to be completely unlocked framerates, perhaps v-sync is locking it or a refresh rate settings needs to be changed.
Ok so putting vsync on actually opens the framerate. Can anyone else confirm this "bug"?
Nvm there is a fps limit settinh below it.

I'm having a good time. Fought the two bug men in the storage room and they almost killed me.
About to go pay off my debt.

a person on the facebook group also have a 7go update on Xbox compared to 2go on ps4, for update 1.02
Not sure where people saw update 1.03
Gotta say the game stutters like a mother fucker. At 100 fps it feels way worse than ds1 at 30 fps. Also I am having a tough time with combat. Especially against multiple enemies. All you attacks take long to finish that even if you connect a hit, you will probably take obe yourself.
So yeah, I've played for an hour or so.
The town is lively with quite a lot of buildings and NPCs, but only a few buildings that can be entered and several NPCs that we can talk to, from quest givers to merchants. The control is snappy and fluid, I like it, too bad that you can't jump at all. Quite a lot of things to explore and loot in the first town to get me prepared. But as soon as I set foot outside, I feel totally lost in an instant. It's pretty dark at night, like pitch black, and I dunno where to go lol as there's no quest marker. The NPC only give you general direction on where to go, which you can read in the journal. There are lots of inventory management too, as everything has weight and your bag has limited space. I ended up dying to a couple of hyenas and brought back to the town by a traveler. Thankfully I didn't catch a disease, only confusion that's gone after I went to sleep at home. And that wrapped up my first day in Outward.
It's definitely more on the hardcore side, and I don't think the masses will like it. Will continue tomorrow in the morning.

Yes, this is pretty much Gothic with pretty light survival elements.
So I know the co-op is drop in drop out but does the guest progress their character as well in the host world?
While this is certainly not my most anticipated game of the year, it's my most interested game of the year. Can't wait for reviews and opinions to start coming up, and were it not for Division 2, Sekiro, and Days Gone looming on the horizon, I'd have jumped in day one out of interest alone.
Did they "fix" the death mechanism?
During my preview it was not working that well:
You "die", then it says you what happened to your character, like "Wolves brought you in their den!" or "You fell in the sea and now you awaken on a shore..." (yes, I was on a mountain...).
Them as soon as you get killed again, there is another one of these "explainations" and so on. Bad thing is: they could esily be chained.
Like: if I got killed and awaken near wolves, they most probably will kill me again.
Then I awake near some bandits... and so on...
That got ridiculous very quickly, actually.

Does the game still work this way?
Also, a terrible thing I've found is related to a pair of situations in which the game works as a "choose your adventure" book. For instance:
I entered a castle and a man asked me if I wanted to "stay". I said "yes", screen goes blank and then I found myself deprived of every item/weapon and enslaved in a un underground mine.
That was an HORRIBLE mechanic, as most probably I could have killed the man an run away from that situation...

Overall I have not quite enjoyed my time with the game, and not necessarily due to its survival mechanics.
Finally! I found the other Two Worlds player. We are two now. :)

If you are the guest everything relating to your character comes with you when you leave but nothing changes in your world state.
I liked two worlds 2 when it came out, it worked as a game to burn time until the next big rpg was coming out (I think it was something major likd skyrim or dragon age coming out).
I tried replaying it though, and the presentation has aged horribly.
Two Worlds 1 though my friend and I rented on Xbox 360, it ran like a PowerPoint presentation so we returned it lmao
Watching some streams. I like the 'death is not horrible' mechanic.
Combat looks a little clunky and the AI seems off (Hero climbed up some rocks from a side that was low), but the 2 wolves just stayed at the part of the rock they couldn't climb up.

And now we are three.
Two Worlds 2 (sorry Jerry, not 1), was actually a decent game. The switching the classes on the fly was cool. Back in those days pre-Skyrim, there weren't alot of open world RPGs. This one wasn't too bad at all.
Wolves hunt in packs, but they don't use their brain power in packs
Wolves hunt in packs, Arisen
'Tis a troubling foe
*raises hand*
I enjoyed TW2 quite a bit!
Well, the worse part is that you can climb or vault on things. :(
I really enjoyed Two Worlds II too, there's Baker's Dozens of us!
Played and loved it. Just found out about this game today, and I'm excited to check it out.
This is like thinking you're the only hispanic kid at the school, and then you hear a group of motherfuckers speaking Spanish in the hallway and you go in excitedly to say hi.
My people. Mi gente.
I'm just not sure if I will love/hate this after reading the thread and Destructoid review...dying sounds really bad - you are taken to a random point in the map but there is no marker to show where you are, and no fast travel hmm. That sounds really cool but if I did tons of times it seems like it would get pretty tedious.
I don't mind the bank at all though I love Gothic, ELEX, 2 Worlds / etc...
Does anyone have the XboxxOne X version? Trying to decide between that and PC but I can't find any details on performance on consoles?
I'm so torn but for 30-40 bucks I think I have to check this out to see if I love, or hate it lol!

Who knew it took an indie game published almost a decade later to bring us back together? On another note, I feel sorry for folks who can't appreciate the Eurojank RPGs for what they are. Its like not liking awesomely bad movies. There is often alot of ambition and charm to those games...that while technically they are inferior, you can't help but like them.
LOL, that made me laugh. Good work.
Bandage should do the trick. If you don't have the materials to make one in your crafting menu, then you can buy one from the shopkeeper in town.
I've been waiting for this game for almost three years now; I'm very close to buying it. The early Steam reviews have me hesitant though. Some people were complaining that the enemy AI is too stupid to make combat challenging. What are the impressions here?
A lot of the negatives listed here sound like positives to me (like the death mechanic), lol. Different tastes, I suppose.
