Agreed. Diablo (and Torchlight) is the very definition of a repetitive grindfest.

Where all progress is 100% numbers based, few new options open up, etc.
A treadmill: the place you progress to is the same as the place you progress from. Absolutely the case in the Diablo games.
I enjoy 1 because it's shorter and the atmosphere is amazing. Enough for me to look past the grind. 2, though? Awful. And I despised Torchlight, which combined all of the flaws of the Diablo games with none of the highlights.

I've been following Diablo III, but I've never heard of Torchlight.

Torchlight is a cheap, extremely undemanding (in terms of requirements), steampunk Diablo clone.

Yeah, the TW series is pretty weak grand strategy. Paradox does it best. *NM*

Diablo III's lore and atmosphere draw me, but not the bajillion clicks required.

I dislike this "always-online" requirement, and I don't think I'll ever buy a game that demands it. *NM*
