Diablo II or Torchlight: Only buying One

I've played Diablo II back in college (early 2000's). Demo played Torchlight and liked it. The only thing I just found out is that I can mod the resolution for Diablo II so it will actually look normal by today's standards. Just holding myself over until PSN is back.

Diablo II or Torchlight?

I would get DIablo2 then you can do it with some friends.

Thanks for the input. Sorry, I forgot to mention I'll be playing solo.

Depends then.... if you want better graphics or not? Torchlight has the better graphics, Diablo2 is a bit deeper and more adult kinda.

get Torchlight, way better than Diablo

Well, Torchlight is a Diablo 1 clone on steroids, and gets extremely repetitive once you go lower and lower into the dungeons.

I much prefer Diablo II, it felt far more epic.. the cinematics added to that, so it held my interest all the way, wile in regard to Torchlight, it bored me near the end were i just couldn't go on.

Diablo 2 if you plan to play online, if not then forget the two games.

So, you gonna play solo? Torchlight for sure even though I haven't played it. Solo on Diablo is boring as hell. Online is where it's at.sethman410

I agree with this one.

The Diablo 2 res mod does nothing, windowed is better than that mod since it just zooms out, it's worse than 640x480 full screen.

If you can stand the dated graphics then go with Diablo 2, it's the best of the best, be it single or multiplayer (multiplayer is based entirely on luck tho, getting a good group), if you can't stand the graphics then get Torchlight, it's the best imo right after Sacred 1 (try the demo, you might like it, it's extremely rough around the edges but patches fixed almost everything) but it does get old fast and there isn't a lot of variety.

Torchlight it is... found out you can mod the camera (field of view) back a little so you can see more of the dungeon just like the diablo II mod. I know it sounds dumb but, that little bit changes games for me.

There are many mods for the game to also improve the visuals, and add a very balanced rooster of characters for you to choose from (each with their own unique skills).

I've played Torchlight with a mod adding 22 different characters and 30 unique pets.

Yeah, that's what kind of led me to Torchlight... not that there are not mods for Diablo II. It's just that I've played them six years ago. I do have a question though; if I download the game to my laptop (2005 Vaio) and it plays okay... can I then download it to my girlfriend's laptop (2010 Toshiba) because it's just a little smoother?

Diablo 2 (with Lord of Destruction expansion) by far.....not even close!

Go with Torchlight since you already played Diablo 2 but then again its really up to you...

I'd say diablo. But 3 is coming out pretty soon ( I think?) so idk. Never even heard of torchlight so my opinion doesn't really matterThatonedude5432

The people that created Diablo and made Diablo II also made Torchlight.

Coincidentaly I just finished Diablo 2 and LOD for the first time, Diablo 2 over torchlight anyday, Because then you've also got Diablo 3 to look forward to if you enjoy the story.

Yeah, here is a answer from the devs, from the FAQ section:

"We have provided each purchase with a key that is good for 10 activations – more than most users would ever need – because we don't want the system to be a burden on our customers. We'll happily increase the activation count if you run out. You can use them on any computers you want."

You have played Diablo 2 so get Torchlight. Nothing amazing but still a cool game.

Play Diablo II with LoD. Still such a great game and the online community is still huge.

Titan Quest is what you should get.xsubtownerx

.. Diablo 2 is superior if your playing online.. And if your not playing online.. I wouldn't recommend either game.. Torchlight is fun and all, but it gets REAL boring playing by your self.. This genre imo was created with co-op play in mind.. I honestly think you shouldn't bother with it unless your playing online.sSubZerOo
