Torchlight 2: No Real-Money Auction House, Offline Mode, Loves Mods

I'm giving it to Torchlight. I know it won't sell as well but I'm sure it will be the better game. The original played exactly like the first Diablo, and the only reason I liked Diablo better is because it had a better art style. Now that Diablo 3 is basically an isometric World of Warcraft, both games are going to look pretty much the same so I'm definitely going to buy the one that isn't loaded up with DRM and general stupidity.

Still not diablo though :\

Unless they are both released at about the same time I'll probably at least try both.

Of course Diablo III is gonna win, simply because of hype. People will whine and gripe about it, and then play it anyway. But for those who resist the money vacuum, Torchlight 2 is going to be a much more enjoyable game, comparable to Diablo II.

And yet, we haven't played either of them, so who can really say?

What do you consider "winning"? Of course D3 will make more money in total, but Torchlight2 might do better in a more meaningful measurement... like money made relative to money spent on producing it, or money made per person who worked on it.

Now that some people have heard of it, I hope TL2 has the budget to make some cool cinematics to give it a deeper story. I felt that was the one thing D2 had the TL was missing.

Torchlight got boring about 2 hours into it.

Yes it did. On steam, I've logged about 80 minutes into it...

haha I so called this on the Diablo III post.

blizzard is slowly losing its fanbase. i didnt play starcraft because they split it up into 3 games. i dont play WoW anymore because i have a job and a life. and im definately not getting diablo 3 because i only played single player offline. im glad torchlight took a shot at blizzard they deserved it

Your right about them deserving a shot. I too only play single player, but since I have no life I will meekly pay for the reaming that Activion has in store for me. Maybe I should pick up some KY…

Blizzard will be releasing their own brand of KY with the release of Diablo 3. You get to choose from the box art of Thrall summoning a water elemental to splash your raw bottom, an Overlord spreading a cooling creep salve down your crack or a Witch Doctor using a severed cold dead hand between your cheeks. Limited supply, results may vary, just hand over your cash.

LMFAO! To The People Speak I nominate OdiousLupous.
