After being kinda bummed out by Diablo 3, what's Torchlight 2 like? Worth buying?

If you've played the first Torchlight, it's similar to that but with a lot of improvements.

The world is bigger, the dungeons are more varied, and the skill trees are a bit more interesting. I find the combat in the Torchlight games to feel a bit stiff, so I don't play either of them as much as other games in the genre.

My favorites right now are Path of Exile (free to play) and Titan Quest(cheap in the Steam Sale)

Kind of off topic: but are there any games like euro truck simulator but with cars?
I like the simulating part, the gear shifting and the driving around in the real world, but trucks arent really my thing

The original Mafia is probably the closest.

You would rather haul loads of tomatoes in sporty convertibles or eco-friendly electric cars?
 
If anyone is interested in Civ V the base game is cheaper in Nuuvem right now U$4.49. Civ V Gold Edition is going to be discounted Monday for the price of U$8.05 if my calculation is correct. They are steamworks.
 
Cool, I just got my first foil. XERSES from System Shock 2. I have no idea who that is, but he will make me $2. Also, I really need to actually play System Shock 2.
 
Damage so far:

Bastion
Chivalry
CS: GO
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition
FEZ
FTL
Grand Theft Auto Collection
Hotline Miami
Mount & Blade Collection
Star Wars KOTOR 1 and 2
Terraria
Torchlight 2
The Witcher 1 and 2

You jsut reminded me of the original Mafia, prompted me to search on Steam and nothing...

My list is now two. games not on Steam that need to be on there:

SWAT 4
Mafia

I would love to finally have SWAT 4 in digital form. Better on GOG than Steam, but Steam would be great too. I ended up having to buy a cheap disc version on Amazon last year.

Yeah, I believe Mafia was pulled due to a licensing issue.




I am still baffled as to why SWAT 4 hasn't been put on steam.

It should tell you how much fee is added before sending your money to someone. They will a be a confirmation screen telling the total you are sending. Make sure its fee come out of your bank account and not the balance of the person you are sending to, so the person doesn't take a loss.
That's good to hear, the fee won't be a surprise then. I'd be paying with my credit card, not bank account though.

You always pay a fee from Argentina to other countries, $ 1 U.S. dollar should cover it.
Thanks. Around $11 for both games sounds fine to me. I may PM him then.

Have they announced a "no shit" expansion pack for XCOM? I figured they would just keep doing small DLC.



I don't think they've announced anything more for XCOM. The Slingshot DLC seems like it came very quick after the game, and the last update was the Second Wave options that they added for free.

Not tomatoes but something like documents for a corporation or something
I just want to drive around from london liverpool or something

I actually like that idea. Just the ability to drive on authentic roads. I would also like a Mirror's Edge style game where you are a bike messenger in NYC.

I feel like this kind of got burried

Would you like to have a conversation about the gap between numbered Battlefield sequels and how gaps can change to benefit marketing? :p

I'm being sort of facetious, but I do think the next Firaxis game will probably be Civ 6.

That totally makes perfect sense, which is exactly why I think they are going to try to rush the next Civ game.

It would go against historical precedence and good business sense, but there is a possibility. Who knows what 2K will make them do?

Their next project will be another iteration of XCOM, Civ VI won't be for a while.

http://kotaku.com/5992126/could-this-be-a-new-xcom-game-in-the-works

Before debuting a teaser trailer for the game during a PAX East panel today, designer Jake Solomon said, "It's big," noting that "we're not going to be able to talk about it for a while."

There'll probably be an Xcom expansion somewhere between Brave New World and 6 but yeah, I can't see their next full game being anything else.

Based on what exactly?

Yeah, there needs to be more mellow games that are actually not terrible. That bike messenger idea sounds pretty cool too!

I'm gonna wait with my wallet damage post till the end of the sale, I'm afraid there is still more to come (looking at you Prison Architect).

Btw, when does the sale end exactly? I know it says till the 22nd but what time and which timezone?
 
Ok, few quick questions.
I will appologize in advance because im sure it has been asked already.

So i have left both Hotline Miami and Metro Last Light idling on the main menu's for the last three hours, but I do not believe I have received any cards - so A) where would I see if I did receive any cards and B) can I get cards by leaving the games running like this? I thought I seen someone post that this works earlier in this thread.

You should think about playing them, they are pretty fun.

Very tempted by Monaco but waiting to see how much Prison Architect will cost tomorrow.

Seeing Train Simulator on sale makes me wish someone would scoop up Railroad Tycoon and bring us RT4. What do you say, Firaxis?
 
Please only enter if you will actually play the game (and don't own the iOS version) since it's quite cheap anyway, thanks.
