Torchlight II Contest Entry

Torchlight was overall a pretty good game. It had a diverse amount of maps, weapons, armor, and the such. Torchlight was fun, but once you have beaten Ordrak in the Lair, the game kind of loses its excitement, now that you have finished the main quest line, and there are only repeatable and side quests left. The whole game kind of feels a bit grindy, although the ability to mod it makes it a whole lot better. In my opinion, Torchlight is a good game to play for a weekend or 2, but its lack of multiplayer or coop subtracts from the game's fun. Really hoping that Torchlight 2 will be much better than the original.

Ahh, the good old times of Torchlight. A long time ago, I must have been when I was in the 9th grade, I was at a friends house for a sleepover. Unfortunately, both me and my friend have very different sleeping patterns. I woke up at 5, to a rising sun, while the rest of the house was asleep. Not wanting to wake anybody up, I was keeping silent, staying on my fold out bed, not knowing when anybody would rise. I had brought my laptop with me, though unfortunately, it was ancient, and had the technological capabilities of a toaster. I had no offline games to play, and no wifi to connect to. But then I saw it, at the base of my games list, Torchlight. I started a new... Read All

Ha! That's a great story man!

Yeah this is. I remember being in such situations as well. Good thing you had your laptop, when I was staying over at my friends houses in high school if I couldn't turn the TV down to play the SNES it was all wall staring and reading the newspaper.

Yeah, that was the only time I woke up far too early at his house. Normally I'd sneak onto his sisters computer in their office to play Roller Coaster Tycoon or The Sims.

Roller Coaster Tycoon is an awesome game. I forget, does it run on Win 7 or just XP?

Oscar_Hermoso Post Author wrote on 12/18/2012 at 07:29am

I honestly don't know, I haven't tried it on 7, but I figure it would, most games made for XP run also on 7 right?

jdodson Admin wrote on 12/18/2012 at 06:09pm

Most yeah, but Rollercoaster Tycoon was designed for Win 98SE. Ill install it and check.

Torchlight II Contest Entry.

Torchlight was to be my fix before Diablo III came out and it did give me tons of fun reliving the good old Diablo II days. Killing monsters, leveling up, getting talents for damage, watch things explode and picking up those sweet sweet loot. In my case, it was letting my minions do the work while I chill and nuke stragglers along the way.

Sad to say, I didn't complete the game. Grueling level after level of the same dungeon type, over and over and over again, I hit the bottom of the first one. Boss time! Now that was fun! But it ended in a flash and there I was back in town, pointed to the graveyard for yet another descent into "over and over again". With that thought,... Read All

Torchlight II Contest Entry

Torchlight is a sort of Diablo II I've always wanted to play. It has much more positive and pretty cartoonish graphics and a lot of looting (as any Diablo-like game would have ;) ), not to mention fishing mini-game and an (yay!) an option to send a pet to the town instead of running there on my own ;)

I wanted to finish the game with a hardcore char just to test (and testify) my skills with dungeon-crawlers. It's good to know that even the hardest difficulty is not insane and is easily playable (by me). The problem came at the third night. It's just like sleeping when you drive. So *BAM!!!* -- ooh, my health is dropping, how quick, strange. *BAM!!!* -- Game over. My... Read All

Absolutely Amazing

Torchlight took everything that made diablo 2 work and made it roughly 10,000x better. It's no wonder, too, as Runic is mainly composed of the former Blizzard East employees charged with creating Diablo 2 in the first place. From the ability to create endless variations of the same class to the random dungeon generator, not to mention the Sword of Adam (WIZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARDS!) This game was a masterpiece and the TRUE spiritual successor to Diablo 2.

Torchlight II

Is this game better than Darkspore or Diablo III?

Travis Admin wrote on 12/04/2012 at 06:09pm

I haven't played Darkspore but I've heard it's not super. I thoroughly enjoy both Torchlight II and Diablo III. They both improve on Diablo II in different ways, I think. I know that's sacrilege to even suggest to some.

TonyJapMayo wrote on 12/04/2012 at 06:36pm

I heard Darkspore is bad.. but how bad can it be right?

Torchlight 2 is a nice game.. Diablo 3, not sure.. but must be great too..

Gary_Butterfield wrote on 12/04/2012 at 11:24pm

I thought Darkspore was serious bunko.

jdodson Admin wrote on 12/05/2012 at 02:25am

I haven't tried Darkspore but the idea of making Spore better in some way appeals to me. Didn't hear much awesome about Spore either.

Torchlight 2 and Diablo 3 are similar but its hard to say which is better. I think that is up to what you want. I think for me, I prefer Torchlight 2 because its lighter, less expensive and allows LAN and Single Player offline. That said, I did have a lot of fun with Diablo 3.

I guess its just up to what you want in a game really.
