Game News Torchlight 2 Info Package

Agreed, which is why I would support a need-or-greet system. But anything is better than the D2-way here

 

Or just an option to turn that feature off. I have no issues with classical loot system.

 

I played it a little bit... It would be all fine and awesome if I wasn't experiencing serious frame drops whenever I or enemy use special abilities. I am playing now at lowest graphical setting but it still works like shit.

Torchlight 1 works flawlessly.

 

I played for an hour with the wrench dude. Pretty fun I gotta say, some nice little touches and animations here and there, there are secret areas to find and I got to pick a hawk as a pet. I didnt buy Diablo 3 cause of the always online bullshit so I cant compare it to that but its a definite improvement when compared to TL1.
And no technical issues either. Running at 1920x1080 with all the pretty stuff without a hitch on my several years old hardware.

RPS seems to like it

^ I envy you for having no problems with it.

I played a little bit more, and I must say, despite some technical difficulties it gave me a solid amount of fun. Diablo 3 didn't grab me so fast - it pales in comparison. Shame I won't have time to play it more in the coming days.

 

Yeah I actually prefer the music in the first game.

 

The music in both is shit.

Not really pleased with the engineer so far. I have no interest in melee, cannon only has 2 skills, one is an eternity away and by the looks of it most of his summons are timed.

 

Although I played all the way through Act I in the beta I haven't progressed to the Wellspring temple yet as I've been playing various characters. Mostly because their registration servers are still borked and I'd like to play a co-op game with some bros rather than start off single player. Just tried my hand at Elite hardcore and had my tank engineer die at level 8 or so -- probably because I put too many talents in defensive passives and didn't really have any offensive punch. Killing things fast is still a priority.

 

Hmm, played a bit more. 3 hours in and Im not bored of it yet suprisingly. Wrench guy seems a bit easy to play, bit harded when going in melee but ranged hes untouchable.All-in-one Cannon/shotgun/knockback/stun weapons combined with his skills make a game a tad to easy.
While its fun looking at knockbacks I usually go in a fight with a wrech to spice it up a bit.
And the new helmet is cool, took a while to get it.

 

According to metacritic it's officialy better than diablo 3.

 

They've got their web registration back up so now you can link your accounts and start playing on line. Re: difficulty -- most people on the Codex probably won't find anything below Elite much of a challenge. That said, if you're just looking to hack away and stuff and collect loot you probably want to avoid Elite since it is a bit slow going and can be tedious at times given enemy damage output.

 

Can't assign normal attack to right mouse button.
