Re: Torchlight is a cheap, extremely undemanding (in terms of requirements), steampunk Diablo clone. Macharius Send a noteboard - 18/08/2011 09:03:59 PM
It's a fun little game, well worth its low price, but I have to agree with Nate that its appeal in the long run really can't match Diablo's.


True enough; and like you said, it's worth what we've paid for it.

Of course, that's the basic game - I don't know what the mods are like, and perhaps Torchlight II will have more lasting appeal in the main game...


Most of the Torchlight mods I saw were for additional classes, or changes to base classes.

Diablo III is at the top of my list. Nate - 16/08/2011 09:31:22 PM 507 Views
I've been following Diablo III, but I've never heard of Torchlight. j-whitt987 - 16/08/2011 09:45:17 PM 601 Views

I really never saw the appeal in Diablo. Fanatic-Templar - 16/08/2011 11:45:38 PM 531 Views

Agreed. Diablo (and Torchlight) is the very definition of a repetitive grindfest. lord-of-shadow - 17/08/2011 02:35:15 PM 546 Views
Which is just fine, for what they are. Macharius - 17/08/2011 05:26:10 PM 651 Views

Yeah, the TW series is pretty weak grand strategy. Paradox does it best. *NM* Ghavrel - 17/08/2011 09:29:28 PM 201 Views
Paradox? *NM* Macharius - 18/08/2011 01:54:00 AM 203 Views
Hearts of Iron, Victoria, Europa Universalis... think RTS Civilization meets Dwarf Fortress. Ghavrel - 18/08/2011 05:45:09 AM 452 Views
That sounds magical. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 18/08/2011 01:35:09 PM 204 Views
I've always been intrigued by Europa Universalis. Macharius - 18/08/2011 01:59:52 PM 541 Views
Worth it, in my opinion. Ghavrel - 18/08/2011 05:25:09 PM 456 Views

Oh well. i don't pay for that LadyLorraine - 18/08/2011 02:40:37 AM 467 Views

meh, I have plenty of other things on my to-play list LadyLorraine - 18/08/2011 06:54:33 PM 437 Views
I can't say I was really impressed by Torchlight's boss fights. Legolas - 18/08/2011 08:38:41 PM 461 Views
The first time I beat Diablo was hilarious. Fanatic-Templar - 19/08/2011 04:04:31 AM 550 Views
Diablo III's lore and atmosphere draw me, but not the bajillion clicks required. Zalis - 17/08/2011 04:07:40 AM 561 Views

I dislike this "always-online" requirement, and I don't think I'll ever buy a game that demands it. *NM* MonCul - 26/08/2011 03:53:49 AM 189 Views
