Tigranes Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I found Torchlight 1 pretty boring, and TL2 seemed similar.

Humodour Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I found Torchlight 1 pretty boring, and TL2 seemed similar. TL2 isn't even out yet, so that's a rubbish claim, unless you beta-tested? The fact of the matter is, all Diablo clones (including D1 and D2) are boring single player. Some of them last longer than others, but I think you need to possess some obsessive-compulsive skills to finish Diablo clones in SP. Somehow, the magic occurs when you add people.

Shryke Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 tried it during the open beta weekend and found the monk and wizard quite fun picked up a physical copy this morning and installed it and just waiting to play when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!

Spider Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 The fact of the matter is, all Diablo clones (including D1 and D2) are boring single player. Titan Quest wasn't. It was better with multiplayer, but it was pretty good single player as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blarghagh Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 **** Diablo 3. I preordered 4 copies of Torchlight 2 so me and my friends can play a true sequel to Diablo 2 instead of this Activision bull****. Yeah, take your important stance on true faith in video games! You go girl! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humanoid Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Way back when the Annual Pass thing was first announced I thought to myself, yeah, may as well, not like it'd cost me anything. But I waited a couple of days and on reflection decided it wasn't so great a deal - it'd lock me into a game which in the timeframe may well see no new content but would nevertheless be paying for, in exchange for a game that costs less than 4 months subscription anyway. I think I made the right choice in hindsight - pretty much bang on six-months after, I'm without a WoW sub and without D3, and not feeling like I'm missing anything. It's no doubt been a success for the devs on both teams however - they've managed to stop the "subscriber bleed" KPI for the former game and can claim numbers are absolutely steady, even if a significant subset of that subscriber base have just prepaid for something they no longer actually play. 1 L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blarghagh Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Have a larf. http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/diablo-iii/user-reviews Choice quotes: "truly awful game obvios wow ripoff 0/10 pls dont copy other games pls" "Shame on you Blizzard for making me spend my money." "story stinks with misogyny. Satan is a woman?" "I waited 37 years for this!?" "worse than the holocaust" "the game is unbeatable because of error 37" (error 37 is a server error, it means you can't log in) And my personal favourite: "Guys, don't buy this. You can't play as Diablo" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gfted1 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 What made you go with a physical copy? Just like having an actual product for your monies? "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blarghagh Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) Store had a preorder special. Quarter off the price, and I bought copies for other people as gifts. That added up to quite a bit cheaper. I'm a broke student who just had to buy a new laptop because the old one literally broke into two pieces.

Malcador Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Woo, all downloaded and ready to play tonight. Well assuming the servers are up. Why has elegance found so little following?

LadyCrimson Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 No, not yet. I'm still waiting to see what my initially disillusioned friends say about the later game. Known them forever and I trust them...if they they think it's awesome & I'd like it in later stages, then I'll consider it. Altho, I'm half-tempted to right now, tho, just for the AH. Don't care about the money...just the challenge of gathering/selling. Mini-gaming. It was fun in WoW and I was pretty good at it. “Things are as they are.

Spider Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Me and my wife ordered it today from Amazon UK. Will be maybe two weeks until we get it, but given that it was over 30% cheaper it is worth the wait. When importing a physical product from England to Sweden is cheaper than buying a digital download directly from the publisher, something is very wrong.

Monte Carlo Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 I love Diablo. Friend me, my tag is earlier in the thread.

Fighter Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I'll get it when it's cheaper. Is the story and writing any good in this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monte Carlo Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 ^ Hey, it is what it is. The narrative is fairly simple but I like my character's gruff persona (barbarian). But it's OK. The music and visuals are nice, the combat is exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
