apparently theres an awesome minecraft easter egg in Torchlight 2. Theres a small dungeon called "Notch's Mine" and in there is a bunch of creepers and a random minecraft sword with great stats. I think it could be any type of sword, i know people have found a cobble sword and an iron sword in there.
They said Act 2 is a desert for a homage to Mario, but I believe they stated they wanted a big contrast between Act 1 and 2. So Act 1 is all green and I believe snowy at the end (from the tid bits I've gathered) and Act 2 is suppose to be desert with a middle of electrical dungeon type theme. The reason they didn't start in a desert is because it's some what plain (not sure on this last part)?
In Torchlight II they redid the stats. now all stats are important and viable and every stat has a description explaining what it does for your character. The skillsystem got redone too and it combines the way D2 skills worked with the way D3 wanted them to work - investing enough points into a skill changes it, adds additional effects or changes how the skill works, for example, instead of just providing static increase of stats.
Torchlight 2 was made by the same team that did D1 and D2. This is basically what D3 should have been for only less than half the price. It's only 20$, and extremely worth it.
Sorry wrong. The "couple of guys" are the LEAD developers of Diablo, Diablo II and Diablo: LOD, as well as the music composer for the first two Diablo games. You know, bassically the MAIN important people that thought up the game and made the game what it is.
Even though you're not saying that a rip-off is a bad thing, it's generally used as a bad thing. So its better to use another word, to avoid confusion.
Except that unlike with D3: - With this you have an actual new-game plus that is DIFFERENT - You have mod support so expect total conversions, crazy mods, new maps, classes, skills, monsters and dungeons being released by mod community.
why everyone has to bash on a good game? because 90% of people who bought D3 eventually became dissapointed in it. you're in the very small minority who actually still likes it. Why I personally was dissapointed in D3? Simple, D3 began to feel like an auction house with a game attached towards the end. I was also frustrated with the fact that theres no skill/stat points. This causes every character of the same class be pretty much the same exact character. Absolutely no diversity except gear.
I got Torchlight 1 free a while back, was a bit put off by it's "childish" looks but still, free right? amazing game. Just because 2 looks childish doesn't mean it sucks, I recommend these games to anyone!
I'm not saying that rip-off is a bad thing, in fact I think its a good thing. If your going to take the best bits from a game you cant do much better then taking them from one of the best looting RPG ever made.
I don't know because I've never played either one, but I want to get Torchlight 2 because old Diablo fans say that Torchlight II is way better than Diablo III and Diablo III was a huge let down.
the only reason D3 sold so much was because of the reputation D2 gave the game. Had people know how the game actually was, it wouldn't have sold nearly as much.
D3 is a game that will disapoint you but then you realize that they are "SLOWLY" fixing it so if you have patiance go for D3. Torchlight 2 on the otherhand looks like a promising game....it has everything that T1 had and then some. TBH i rly liked the T1 (diablo-clone) but done right. Something D3 failed at start(I know 4 lvl 60's) so depends on you :). FYI i dont know about T2 but D3 pvp will come out in 1.1 patch (ages away tough)
I see, I really should try out Guild Wars 2 and Torchlight II. Especially since Torchlight II is only $19.99 on Steam. And they are both low-end games which is good because my PC only has 512 Video RAM. :3
you know, would be cool if you mentioned something about FATE, FATE was a game inspired by diablo, now, some of the producers/creators of diablo, made torchlight, which is more popular :D
After some disappointment with Diablo 3, I'm excited for TL2. Blizzard can learn a lot from this game for the future. Oh, and to all the Diablo fanboys, I'm a Diablo fanboy as well. I just have a different mentality than most, while you think: THIS GAME > THIS GAME > THIS GAME. I think: THIS GAME + THIS GAME + THIS GAME = WIN. Talk about how games can improve, how a feature from one game could benefit another, etc.. Mindless trash talking doesn't help anyone, especially the industry at large.
I played the first game when they released it on the Xbox live arcade... I really enjoyed the game and look forward to playing this one... I now have a gaming PC so I don't have to wait lol
i have played both games and both games are great.. the only downside D3 has is its auction house. if they removed the AH they would make D3 a really good game. This is the main reason i love torchlight 2 no Auction house bullshit.
I just hope that stat/skill building won't be as complex. The amount of times I've had to respec/reroll my characters in Diablo 2 was just outright embarrassing
that's a bleak outlook. what's most sad is that we're actually on the same side. we're all gamers, yet we still find a way to fight within our own group. I'm fine with discussion, but people are just needlessly vicious. "Oh, you enjoy something I don't? Fuck you."
In fact, no. D3 is disappointing in two main aspects, though: Firstly, from the perspective of D2, it was not, what many players wanted or expected. Secondly, from the design choices that were made for D3, there were some that were actually bad (initial Inferno design, hoping the economy would fix the auction house, no individualization of your characters). D3 was disappointing, but still a good game.
That's not true at all. From a technical point of view, Diablo III is amazing. The main things that people are bitching about is that they don't like the game design decisions, such as lowering the droprates to account for people using the auction house, therefore leaving people who don't like to use that system with a great heap of useless loot.
I have played Diablo 1 and 2 for a very long time and I was really disappointed with Diablo 3. It's sad that Blizzard isn't able to produce a proper sequel to Diablo 2. Torchlight 2 is actually a lot better than Diablo 3 will ever be. It's sad to see a good game series like Diablo be destroyed. These ex-blizzard guys working on Torchlight know what they are doing!
Many people said that Torchlight II will beat Diablo 3 hands down but seriously after 3 hours of playing I can say that it is quite boring. The story was not interesting enough for me. And I am not a "graphics > gameplay" fanboy but still the kinda Warcraft 3 graphics didn't impress me. But I am sure many people will enjoy the game but it just wasn't for me.
What I don't like about this game is the same thing I didn't like about Torchlight 1: too much shit going on... it's full of bright colorful explosions that don't really make your character feel more powerful, they just don't let you see anything. I liked the simpler D2 style of only a few things at a time and, at most, the D3 style where there is more colorful shit, but they try to limit it. I mean, D3 gets crazy on screen clutter when there is 4 players, this thing would be even worse.
CoD v BF DayZ v WarZ Diablo v Torchlight Etc. can we just play games and stop fighting? why do people care if someone else likes something they don't... I am getting so tired of this...
Ugh... Diablo 3... So much buyer's remorse, I maxed a character just because I was fooling myself into thinking I enjoyed it, but I was really just playing it because it was "Diablo". But I suppose it is the developers that make the difference, hopefully Blizzard North can put the same magic in this game that they put in the previous Diablos.
Visiting this video 9yrs later
"I'm on the third highest difficulty" Doesn't that mean you're on the second easiest?
Why does Act 2 always have to be a desert (D2,D3,TL2,PoE)?
Diablo 1 (16 levels)
Torchlight 1 (16 levels)
Klyde Piczon Torchlight 1 actually has 100 levels
Titan Quest as well
Basically with that class then would you want to up strength and dexterity for the most part? Because he seems to be a mostly DPS geared character
torchlight 2 is incredibly fun and is playable OFFLINE. if you want something you can play offline, by LAN and multiplayer, try torchlight 2
apparently theres an awesome minecraft easter egg in Torchlight 2. Theres a small dungeon called "Notch's Mine" and in there is a bunch of creepers and a random minecraft sword with great stats. I think it could be any type of sword, i know people have found a cobble sword and an iron sword in there.

Ok i have a Question you get better loot when you play in group i mean 4 ppl or 6 in the group or party like borderlands ?
In Torchlight II they redid the stats. now all stats are important and viable and every stat has a description explaining what it does for your character.
The skillsystem got redone too and it combines the way D2 skills worked with the way D3 wanted them to work - investing enough points into a skill changes it, adds additional effects or changes how the skill works, for example, instead of just providing static increase of stats.
Im playing it again in 2020
what are the differences between guns, shotguns, and bows?
Torchlight 2 was made by the same team that did D1 and D2. This is basically what D3 should have been for only less than half the price. It's only 20$, and extremely worth it.
So looking forward to this game. Was chatting with runic devs last night. They're great guys that made an amazing game. Show some love
never played the first one. Do you have to be online to play this like diablo 3?
I havn't played Diablo 3 nor Torchlight II. Which one is better in your own opinions?
Torchligth 2
You have misspelled "remake".
Sorry wrong.
The "couple of guys" are the LEAD developers of Diablo, Diablo II and Diablo: LOD, as well as the music composer for the first two Diablo games. You know, bassically the MAIN important people that thought up the game and made the game what it is.

i don't wanna start an argument but i'm stuck between diablo 3, guild wars 2 and torchlight 2? which will i simply get the most fun out of?
Torchlight 2, for sure. I was so disappointed with D3 I went back to play Torchlight 1 and it was still a more satisfying experience.
i dont know the guy who does this review but he also did the guild wars 2 review! and he is a good theory crafter! i give him props
No, you can play offline or with up to 6 people online or LAN

hey does anyone have any lag issues? i play smoothly for a good 20 mins then i just get this random ass lag that wont stop.
28 hours into the game and only on Act 2...
I'm glad I preordered this! :D
legend has it, you're still in act 2
Are you still in Act 2 ?
I got Torchlight 1 free a while back, was a bit put off by it's "childish" looks but still, free right? amazing game. Just because 2 looks childish doesn't mean it sucks, I recommend these games to anyone!
music by Matt Uelmen
That alone makes it worth playing, just to listen to his epic work
Can't wait to play this! I enjoyed this video, but wish he had made comparisons to Torchlight and not just Diablo 2/3 though.
I got Torchlight 1 for free a few weeks ago, i've been playing it on and off but overall its amazing im getting this game.
I'm not saying that rip-off is a bad thing, in fact I think its a good thing.
If your going to take the best bits from a game you cant do much better then taking them from one of the best looting RPG ever made.
I don't know because I've never played either one, but I want to get Torchlight 2 because old Diablo fans say that Torchlight II is way better than Diablo III and Diablo III was a huge let down.
no, im not saying that. have you played either game?

The graphics became crisper than it was in beta!! :D
and ca. 30 other stats (+10k strength, 5k life steal etc etc)
I see, I really should try out Guild Wars 2 and Torchlight II. Especially since Torchlight II is only $19.99 on Steam. And they are both low-end games which is good because my PC only has 512 Video RAM. :3
This comes out in three days? Sign me up.

Is this the guy who reviewed guild wars 2?
Why do you care if people fight over games? it shouldn't really affect you, just focus on the games you like and don't listen to people.
Can't really call it a ripoff when the heads of the Diablo 1 and 2 team are the founders and heads of Runic Games
I haven't played guild wars 2, but I can guarantee you that you will get the better diablo game experience in Torchlight II.
I played the first game when they released it on the Xbox live arcade... I really enjoyed the game and look forward to playing this one... I now have a gaming PC so I don't have to wait lol
i have played both games and both games are great.. the only downside D3 has is its auction house. if they removed the AH they would make D3 a really good game. This is the main reason i love torchlight 2 no Auction house bullshit.

Damn, I wish I worked for Blizz. Why do we have Torchlight employees bashing Diablo on Diablo videos?
will my demo character transfer into the full game, please respong
7 years later still no answer
Torchlight 1 was amazing and i think that the developers have beat themselves with this new one.
Can't wait !! I pre - ordered ages ago and now its nearly here !!
mods are still allowed ryt??? id kill for a respec mod
This... looks damn good.
that's a bleak outlook. what's most sad is that we're actually on the same side. we're all gamers, yet we still find a way to fight within our own group. I'm fine with discussion, but people are just needlessly vicious.
"Oh, you enjoy something I don't? Fuck you."
In Torchlight(1) i ended up with a LVL 5 sword witch gave me 26BILLION health and 24K DPS (passed it on ca 50 times)
12:20 bro, sell the goldfish!

this game is completely different from diablo 3 in so many ways like graphics, gameplay, skill system and in almost everything
if only i could remember my dingus password...
What summoning for you the minions?
28 hours in dang D3 6 hours wow
Technical stuff IS the game play. Diablo has an almost flawless combat. That's all there needs to be, really. Everything else can be fixed with time.
Been playing the SHIT out of some Torchlight to prepare for this. Playin on Hard difficulty, whole game wasn't that hard except for this last section!
Damn, I was looking to play Outlander, but this makes me think otherwise. Don't wanna play a summon build
Ok, I hate on IGN alot, but this video is pretty.... no, REALLY nicely done.
Awesome game for 20 bucks,I've already got a whole lot more enjoyment out of the 20 hours played than I got in my whole Diablo 3 experience.
I own Diablo 3, and I liked it. I dont know why everyone has to bash on a good game. This game looks cool, but too cartoony for my taste IMO
it is. by a lot. mostly because of the skill tree ^^ and the stats. this is just my option
I have played Diablo 1 and 2 for a very long time and I was really disappointed with Diablo 3.
It's sad that Blizzard isn't able to produce a proper sequel to Diablo 2. Torchlight 2 is actually a lot better than Diablo 3 will ever be. It's sad to see a good game series like Diablo be destroyed. These ex-blizzard guys working on Torchlight know what they are doing!
I'm feeling kind of superficial, but these graphics don't appeal to me much. :- /
It does look like a pretty good ARPG, though.
Worst thing in the video: The watermark
I agree but strife and choosing sides is part of being human
Many people said that Torchlight II will beat Diablo 3 hands down but seriously after 3 hours of playing I can say that it is quite boring. The story was not interesting enough for me. And I am not a "graphics > gameplay" fanboy but still the kinda Warcraft 3 graphics didn't impress me. But I am sure many people will enjoy the game but it just wasn't for me.
Torchlight 1 was awesome, TL2 will be even better. (No shit)
Probably 100. That's what it was for TL1 (along with 55 levels of fame, don't know if fame is in tl2 didn't look)
im totaly going to play this guy, looks fcking badass
no you can play this offline and lan it with up to 6 friends
does this game have potions?
lol, too bad you'll miss this amazing game. I prefer playing games on all platforms not just taking sides :P
Already Pre-Bought Cant wait
torchlight is a diablo TWO rip-off, not the third one.
Got get me wrong, I mean that in the best way
Exactly, just like CoD, superior sales > everything else
this game has more of the people who worked on diablo 2 making it, than diablo 3 did.
in fact, diablo 3 had none of them.
the more you know
Oh I don't know.. How about being what D3 should've been? Seeing how D3 is nothing like D1-2..
Why do we have blizzard employees defending their game on some youtube clip on some other game?
Click "Show the comment" and let the adventure begin.
GW2 isn't exactly a ARPG, go for GW2 if you want a fresh experience out of MMOs, if you like ARPGs I would say Torchlight 2
What I don't like about this game is the same thing I didn't like about Torchlight 1: too much shit going on... it's full of bright colorful explosions that don't really make your character feel more powerful, they just don't let you see anything. I liked the simpler D2 style of only a few things at a time and, at most, the D3 style where there is more colorful shit, but they try to limit it. I mean, D3 gets crazy on screen clutter when there is 4 players, this thing would be even worse.
Stfo! .)
Torchlight 2 or Diablo 3? Never played Diablo 2 so my expectations aren't high for 3
forever alone
awesome.......I cant wait....
thanks for the info
25min and didn't show multiplayer
CoD v BF
DayZ v WarZ
Diablo v Torchlight
Etc.
can we just play games and stop fighting? why do people care if someone else likes something they don't...
I am getting so tired of this...
F*cking ads
what d3 was supposed to be for $20. fucking nice :D
~~~ Guid Wars2 FTW!!! ~~~
This game is going to put D3 in the dirt.
Ugh... Diablo 3... So much buyer's remorse, I maxed a character just because I was fooling myself into thinking I enjoyed it, but I was really just playing it because it was "Diablo".
