Torchlight 2

Preloading!

 

Torchlight 2 has 6 player co-op.

 

Oh noes, this comes out too. I'll buy it hopefully see you online!

 

Preloaded as well, but getting ready for work unfortunately.... Will be playing some of this tonight hahahahaha

 

Yup, stuck at work it unlcoked a few hours ago

 

g'dam trying to register an account taking forever...

 

Gameplay isn't bad at all.

I forgot how cartoony it is, but nobody is perfect 8)

 

Played a bit with the outlander yesterday, got to level 12 single player since I couldn't log in to link my game to my online account (release crushed their servers). Gunplay is pretty fun, i'll probably play around with the other classes also to see which I like the best.

 

Got a chance to play the engineer a little bit. Plays a lot like the destroyer. The only frustrating part is that the game doesn't mention under which circumstances it will save or not save your game upon exit

 

I made an embermage last night, only played for about 15 minutes or so. I would be up for some multiplayer action some time.

 

I'd be down, I'm probably around 9 or 10ish PM tonight playing some. How does matching up work? Everyone joins the game of the person creating at the spot they are in?

Or everyone can just start a new character, either way. I kinda like the outlander shotguns, although dual pistols are appealing also.

 

Someone make a Torchlight II Teamspeak channel and I'll jump on tonight

 

I can do multiplayer, but not Friday to Sunday.

My gunslinger is 27 or so.

 

Doubt we'll do a new channel, just use random game for now.

 

So much fun, brings back memories from Diablo =)

 

I just found this review on metacritic. This guy needs to get himself a sense of humor ASAP.


"Bought it, played it, got bored and quite frankly offended. I also own Diablo 3, which I enjoyed immensely for a while and got bored with after a while. I got offended because of all the negativity Diablo 3 has received, when it is CLEARLY a better game than Torchlight 2. I really dont understand people on this one. But, that aside, Torchlight 2 is well worth 20$ - if you dont own Diablo 3 which both looks, plays and sounds better. I understand this is supposed to be the true Diablo 2-style, but I am a long time Diablo 2 gamer and I much prefer what they did and keep doing to Diablo 3. I was going to give Torchlight 2 a strong 7/10. But the **** that goes on in the user-reviews forces me to compensate. There is no middle-ground on Metacritic. Either a 0 or a 10."

 

I havent played Diablo 3, but just from playing a tiny bit of the beta, I have no desire to. TL2 is a perfect successor to D2 imho.

 

Comparing TL2 and Diablo 3 doesn't really work, they went in really different directions. Torchlight is a more cartoony, casual, and 'fun' atmosphere where you can use mods, use single player characters online etc, while Diablo 3 is more about the hardcore death and destruction and seriousness. Its a very different feel.

I'm enjoying torchlight, but I can't really compare until I've beat the game once like Diablo 3, although I feel like torchlight is going to much a much longer slog.

 

Maybe you can't compare them that much, I'll agree, but giving a game a zero just to offset all the high scores is a load of bullshit. He even said he was going to give it a seven until he read all the good reviews.

 

So I have a level 25 outlander, shotguneer style. Pretty fun, still trying to figure out what my build will be. The only issue with no respect (aside from 3 points) is that its difficult to play around with the skills to see what works well before committing, but I'm going rapid fire with some areas hex/buffs for now
