Torchlight

Holy shit.

Best $20 I have ever spent.

http://www.torchlightgame.com/

It's somewhat mindless hack and slash, but it's rock fucking solid. Diablo 2.5 imo.

No shit! It's in the works though, they're planning on making it an MMO of sorts. I think the engine is fucking perfect for that sort of thing, and it's such a light damned game.

I'm far more hooked on this than I ever was on Dragon Age.

While im not a fan of diablo style game this one looks interesting (logve the graphics). But even after 30 hours spent in Ferelden im still only 16% complete so this one will have to wait

ok so i played through the first floor..

it's totally a diablo clone. the sound effects are even the same in some instances (when a piece of cloth flips out of a treasure chest it makes the same "whoosh" noise) and very, very similar music (the town music has the same dreary finger-picked guitar playing much like the town music of diablo 1).

i do agree with the other guy, it's a bit childish/cartoony- i wish they would've made it a darker game. but it's a ton of fun nonetheless, and i like how you can equip a crap ton of shit (like shoulder armor, belts, etc). definitely needs multiplayer also. oh well, this will tide me over til diablo III hopefully.

on a sidenote, this game runs perfect with every graphic setting maxed out on my laptop with onboard nvidia video. that's 1280x800 resolution too. very nice.

apparently the game counts the 6 origin stories as part of that 100% tho :/

Tried this torchlight at a friends palce...like the graphics but not my cup of tea. The only diablo style game i ever got into was diablo 1 and even then i guess it was because i was too young to know better Though i have to give the developers props for putting all this together in under a year. They must have been locked in the basement for 26 hours a day to get it done so fast.


As for DA, guess i wont ever have the 100% then unless i just go trough the origin stories...not that i wont go trough the game many times, i just dont see myself playing as a dwarf or something like that...any rpg i always play as a game, no matter how many times i go trough it...rouge or fighter...meh, nothing beats a good fireball (especially in this game...throw a fireball for a knock down effect with my mage, then freeze them with Morrigan, use prison to instakill a low level enemy and perhaps another instakill with allistars or lelianas critical shot...then take on anything else that might be left alive...)

haha same! (you wrote "game" instead of "mage" the first time btw)

played every RPG ever as a mage, or at least the closest thing to a mage. magic is my favourite part of speculative fiction

oh yeah, and fuck dwarves. human or elf or an evil race. but fuck dwarves or halflings etc.

And there's your explanation. I also don't like the art style, but I do think it's nice when companies focus on making games fun rather than always pushing the latest technology.
