The reviewer really gushes over the game, to the extent that they forget to list any of its flaws. Slightly suspicious.
I mean... it's $20, dude.
At that price it's really just a "buy it if you're interested" with no real big deal if you end up not liking it (unlikely).
If you liked Diablo III and want more, then this is really a no-brainer at the price point.
I have a gift copy of Torchlight 1 on Steam if you want it, to give you some kind of idea of what the series is like. Let me know.
Yeah, there should be a demo up at the same time as release.
I believe I tried the T1 demo a long while back but wasn't engrossed by it. Yes it is just 20 dollars but I'm a broke ass college student, and I have Guild Wars 2 and Tekken Tag 2 that just set me back a while. I'd like to get Blands 2 this week, but I know it isn't feasible money wise, but this game may be in the future. I'd like to play it though before I invest...I'm just that kind of guy.
I'm glad it's getting a demo though. I'll sink my teeth into that and pony up for the full game after if it wins me over.

If my opinion means anything to you, I had never played an ARPG before trying TL2 and D3.
Loved the Beta of Torchlight and didnt really get into the trial for D3.
Specifically though, I got the first game for pre-ordering Torchlight and while I enjoyed it, it didnt do a whole lot for me. Take that for what its worth.
This is helpful. I definitely didn't see anything special from T1's demo to want to make me get the game. T2 does look a big step up, and as long as the demo is well paced and lets me see as much content as say the D3 beta/demo does, and it's fun, then I'll be all over this game.
if you go to the store page it should say how much longer it is until it comes out... for me it currently says 2 days 1 hour, it might be different in other places though as I recall steam having region staggered releases before
It's different for every game.
According to my Steam store page at this exact moment, Torchlight 2 will unlock in 49 hours (2days 1hr).

I definitely should have waited. Figuratively
threw almost $200 away this year on PC games none of my friends want to play, coulda tried this for a tenth of that.
Not their fault I keep falling for hype.
LITERALLY

Funny, after finishing season 4 of Breaking Bad last night, I dreamed of cooking meth.
This wait is killing me, especially with the game on my damn computer.

Aw damn. I didn't even pay attention to the unlock time. At least I'll be more awake when I get to play it for the first time.
I don't even want to think of the amount of money I have spent becuase of hype.

for CET people its perfect time!, right after dinner, +- 19:30
I've seen the broken comment before and never really understood it either.
It was a risk/reward concept based on luck. With each enchant that made your weapon more powerful, you ran a greater risk of loosing them all, thus rendering that weapon completely useless.
It's not like you could enchant your weapon to infinity with zero consequences.

Most of you will already get this news elsewhere, but if there's anybody who still wants the first Torchlight, go Humble Bundle all over it.

Easily. TL1 isnt very long.
That's waaaaay too early for dinner.
Good good. Now if I can just stay away from GW2 to finish this lol. I think D3 had a hand in my avoiding playing TL though. First Diablo game, and first and last Blizzard purchase. But I'm hyped for TL2.

no controller support.
It's a terrible mechanic. It's purely luck based, and nothing more. There's no limit to how good an item can get, and it encourages save manipulation.
It also made uniques pretty useless, since they cost so much more to enchant than regular weapons.
I take it that's a no, then?
*sigh*
They took out stat wipe, and made it much more costly to enchant this time around.
It was indeed a terrible mechanic. There is no more stat wipe. Enchants can still fizzle and not apply after paying for them, but that's the worst you have to deal with. Also, there's a cap of about 3 enchants per item, depending on the enchanter, and you can clearly see what enchanting added to the item now. You can't basically make your own items with endless enchants anymore. It's much better.
Yeah but then again, you could say that for 2 months every week. Way too many good games this fall lol
My god this is straight out of Diablo 2 almost. The nostalgic in me apporoves.

That sounds much better.
High cost is good. Now enchanting a low quality item shouldn't be as profitable as finding a high quality item in the first place. Enchants should be there to help boost your good gear and give you something to dump your money into.
Fizzle...not really thrilled with them keeping this since it will still encourage people to make backup saves in case of a fizzle. Just seems rather pointless, especially with an enchant cap.
And yeah, the enchant cap is good. Enchants were silly in TL1 because you can't balance the game around a limitless enchanting system.
