thats the point. it isnt supposed to provide anything new. It just takes what made the diablo series so enjoyable, and makes it even better. Its just pure hach n' slash carnage. and it is beautiful! i respect your opinion tho
I could not find anything that was better except graphics and thats only because diablo is so old. In terms on creativity, diablo graphics still triumph.
It has a plot and a story line. All the dialog is delivered by great voice acting unlike this game. The cutscenes are the best ever and feature demons that you face. It's not a complex story, but it still adds a nice touch to the game and atmosphere.
So you would compare Diablos voice acting to say.....Modern Warfare 2? It just has generic people talking through pointless dialogue lines, ive played both of the diablo games, i didnt enjoy the voice acting,
I'll admit the voice acting on torchlight aint good either, like on the start when syl shouts "i cant hold them back much longer!" but instead of much she says MUH. i cant hold them back MUH longer!
And why are you comparing torchlight to diablo, thats like comparing a slice of bread to a foot long meatball melt sandwich with extra cheese. Made by god.
@shadowsteel5 - Ya cause the idea of the worldstone wasnt a plot at all, or the idea of creating brothers of diablo for the second game... Nope thats not a plot at all. I agree about getting D3 but 2012 SERIOUSLY WTF!?
"2012 SERIOUSLY WTF!?" My thoughts exactly! But you have to remember, Blizzard wanted to put all of their resources into that fucking cash cow that is WoW. SC2 and D3 are not going to make them 150+ million EACH AND EVERY MONTH like WoW has done. While they make amazing games, waiting 10+ years between games is a fucking joke!
It's no surprise that the lack of multiplayer in any form is a major contention point for people. It could have taken what is a great game and made it one of the best games of all time in this genre. Runic stopped short on this, sure they are working on a "free" MMO but they could have catapulted Torchlight to the top of the AARPG list with a simple lan multiplayer addition. 8.3 is just a little weak, it probably deserves more around a 8.8 to 9.0 after you factor in $20 price tag
One thing I wanna add is that I paid much attention to the abilities, they are fun to choose and use in combination to make your character do cool moves /combo moves.
lmao kinda but you gotta remember runners was influence by wow and wow. and torchlight from diablo and wow. making torch look like runners lol. its an ok game tho
Review didn't say anything about skill customization :(
I never really liked online play except for trading. It's so messy and you don't see who kills what, so you don't feel like you're contributing. Also, you can't use your strategies in peace
Those that are dissing this game, you have not seen the full potential it can offer. RGC just launch it's TorchEDITOR, which allows people to do pretty much anything to the game, ex. Warcraft 3. You have only seen the beginning of an awesome d2 style modification.
I'm already turned off. That and this looks almost exactly like WoW from a bird's-eye view. Oh, speaking of games that have too little plot for my tastes...
Yeah, I'm a troll and a retard. Coming from someone you can't even spell "you". I played WoW and was extremely disappointed with the repetitive gameplay and lack of plot.
(Fyi, "go kill 10 of this and come back" or "go get 6 of these and come back" is not a plot.)
So how about next time you ask me what I didn't like about the plot instead of assuming everything and then calling me names. Thanks.
The Star Wars Holiday Special is based off Star Wars, and is widely considered the worst program to ever be aired on television. What something is based off of means nothing. A game must stand on it's own virtues...not cheaply say, "oh, my predecessor was a great game so that means I'm a great game." That's ridiculous.
I've never played Warcraft, but given the way you worded your "response", (in what can barely be considered English) I would guess our definition of plot differs.
World of Warcraft isn't based off of Warcraft. It IS warcraft but in a mmo. Saying it has a lack of plot is the most retarded thing ive ever heard. warcraft's lore is amazing
So because millions of people play it, I should be expected to like it? Sounds a bit like fascism. Do you remember the first half of WoW? It's just the same "go kill # things and come back"...over...and over...
From what I've played of the game, and what I consider a good pot, I've been thoroughly disappointed. It's not "retarded", it's my opinion. If you don't like that, I'm sorry, but please don't pull fanboy logic on me. I really don't care, so let's just agree to disagree.
No, you're saying the game has a LACK of plot you fucking idiot. You aren't even listening to anything I'm saying. WoW has one of the biggest plots out of any game and you call it lack of plot, ffs, it's not worth talking to you anymore because you do not understand basic english.
Totally uncalled for. Maybe think of taking a couple anger-management classes? We can have a conversation about video games without one of us flying off the handle. Who's acting like a fucking idiot?
Yeah, the game has a bad plot in the beginning half. You say "big" plot. By this you mean lots of the same quest? It's hard to tell what point you're trying to make when all you do is rub your fanboy-ism in my face without supporting evidence. I'd be happy to listen if you'd stop that.
Ad hominem again? You're not going to get me to lower myself to your level with insults. If you can't empathize with opinions contrary to yours' then I pity you. Not to mention that you've yet to raise any evidence to support your claim besides your opinion.
I suspect the reason behind your cognitive blindness is due to your utter devotion to everything Warcraft. This "fanboyism" (sic) causes you to take people's opinions as personal insults when they differ from your own.
you've got to be joking, this game is awesome. how could you even know that? the question is are you a fan of Diablo, or the fan of "Blizzard North" (now Runic Games) bc D3 is in the hands of a different development team. wait till D3 comes out then say that! Also this game is being developed for online play. This game is only an introduction for the things to come!
Sounds exactly like a "Fate" for older ages. Like think about it the thirty-five levels? Yes I know the makers are in this, but stop recycling the ideas...
I thought that the presentation was a bit too cartoon-ish at first, but as I got into the game and started hacking away, I realized the presentation actually works to the game's favor. It might not look as dark and foreboding as Diablo, but the gameplay is definitely there!
20 bucks..... if you play this you will no doubt probably get a little head start on the feel of the game play than those that will play Diablo III fresh
the graphic is actually nice and, do not get fool with the cartoony graphic and no multiplayer, trust me, once you get into the game, you cant get off
I bought this just a few days ago, and your review is very accurate. I have enjoyed it even more than I enjoyed Diablo solo. Now, I DO wish...that like D2 LOD Online, it had multiplayer, but...having said that...it's still very fun and fulfilling as a solo game. Best 20 bucks I've spent on a game in ages. Great game...great price....win/win.
