Torchlight 2 IGN Review

The game is awesome so far! I haven't been able to make my online account and link it to steam until today, which is where this game will really be awesome for me.

Luckily I get to use my SP char online I believe, and there's LAN. For $20 there's no excuse not to get this! I can't wait to play some online with my friends today and tomorrow! :D

I just started sinking time into it today. Been too busy with Borderlands (I heart claptrap)!

Immediately addictive! Jeebus, even the startign abuilities feel entirely satisfying and look super cool. Makes we wonder what I'm going to see once I get more higher level abilities!

TL1 was incredibly boring in my opinion, but TL2 is much improved. I still think that D3>TL2, but then again it is too early to tell.

I thought it was just my browser messing up, but it's actually their site. It's horrendous.

this is alot of fun, even normal isn't a cakewalk like d3 was.

the difficulty really does ramp up.

being able to reset skills with 3 points into them is nice, it encourages exploration of the skill tree while still supporting min/max.

Overall much more satisfying than d3 so far, the game doesn't look bad either.

also the music is awesome! it feels like the diablo 2 in that regard.

"Its not a competition. Theres a reason we dont put scores at the end of reviews, and its because games shouldnt be ranked on some giant graph its stupid and arbitrary. We can say which is our most favourite, of course, and we do. But I am not willing to get into a pie-fight between Torchlight 2 and Diablo III. Saying that, Torchlight 2 is WAY better than Diablo III."

lol.

1/3rd the price of D3 and no stupid "internet connection always needed to play" BS. screw Blizzard.

Only about 3-4 hours into it currently but it's been well worth the wait. The combat feels smooth and satisfying with a great ton of loot. Can't wait to dive into it a bit more this weekend!

No. The developers said they won't port it to Xbox, they barely managed to fit the first one on XBLA and this sequel is muchbigger.

But it's not like you have to have a 1000 dollar pc or anything to play this :? this game will run on practically anything...

Oh I may buy this then, I like to support PC focused devs.

Shame about the those PoorBox owners though.

Yeah, but Torchlight has gathered a healthy following. I have no doubt we'll see a third. And it probably won't take 12 years to make.

heretrix

It could take a while though. They have said they don't want to make another ARPG right away and their MMO is on hold, they want to create a game in a different genre now.

You have got to love the diablo 3 forums, best part of that game.

"$20 dollars gone, possibly huge mistake."

What the actual f*ck, is this guy living on cat food?

how anyone can be disappointed with this, is beyond me.

....aaaannnnnnnd how does this post make you any different from them? By complaining and whining about all the "whiny **** in here", you yourself are sounding exactly like a "whiny ****" as you put it.

The demo is more like shareware. I'll probably have had my fill of the game once I finish it.

btw cannons are boss

I am happy they are back to the 100pt system.

That's because it doesn't deserve as many sales as D3.
