Torchlight II - Launching September 20th

I don't see the point of an OT title that makes fun of the game that pretty much defined the genre. Not to mention that Runic was founded by Blizzard guys.
 
Oh I missed the live stream because I grabbed a bite to eat on the way home from school. It says "We'll be live soon!" so are they going to continue it?

No, not the game. The sequel to the game.
 
Well, damn. I would have completely missed this had I not stumbled upon this thread now.
And only a week away too. Very great news.

Diablo III didn't really do it for me. Will definitely give this game a shot.
 
Just watched the livestream. Gameplay looks solid. I will not be buying because the art style is too cartoony and the gameplay doesn't look like it has much depth at all (looks like there are no targeted spells like in TL1).

Still for $20 it looks like a solid buy for people who like the art and don't mind not being able to target spells.
Not being able to target spells? Not sure what you mean here. There are all kinds of skills that don't just throw something in a general direction. You may not have seen them in the livestream though, as what I saw of the livestream was just the guy using the glaive and the shotgun. Mostly the shotgun.

If anyone is absolutely dying for more Torchlight 2 videos during this last week of waiting, I posted two up to YouTube during the beta. Outlander against an early boss. Embermage gameplay in general, with another early boss at the end. They're both on Elite difficulty.
Your pet has fled. Your pet is wounded.
 
It's just that I prefer these types of games with controllers. I've actually gone through about 4 mice in 3 years and that's just with work alone. I currently use the Performance MX and it's not a cheap mouse. I'd rather not replace it in 10 months if I can help it :(
Everybody take it easy on Hellboy; it ain't easy using the mouse with the Right Hand of Doom.

I'd prefer controller, too, and hope they add it.

But I will play it with a mouse.
I will play it at my house.
I will play it with the keys.
Can I play it, pretty please?
I will play it in the day
And I will play it in the night.
I will play and play and play and play
With all my mighty might!

... You know, with any spare time between Borderlands 2 and Mists of Pandaria :)

Pre-load went quickly.

So... There is no OT up? Someone should do that. I could probably get one up today but it would be no thrills.

I would also go with the "We took your torchlight and doubled it!" tagline.
 
whats the word, is this going to be better than diablo 3?
For me, the TL2 beta was better than Diablo 3. But this will depend on how much you like TL2's approach to multiplayer and the art style. Going from D3 multiplayer to TL2 multiplayer will be like going from D2's Battle.net servers to D2's open Battle.net. The pros outweigh the cons for me.
