Torchlight

Ben originally linked me the game last week and I think it's made the rounds but for some reason hasn't been posted here yet, so here it is!

Torchlight.

It's a pretty great Diablo Clone, and I use that term in the most loving of ways. It's a little bit Diablo, a little bit Wow, and a lot of fun. This version is only single player but Runic Games is apparently also working on an MMO version (or something).

Check'er owwwwwtah!

Oh yeah, I was going to post it too and forgot =X. I only played a little, but it was fun, and I hated Diablo. So, it's different enough =D.

I would get this..but wayy too many games have just come out that I need to play.

Borderlands (omg fun), L4D2, Assassins Creed 2, Dragon Age. Plus I just got a ps3 so playing old games too <.<

I just hit lvl 34 in borderlands on my sniper. my buddy in chemistry class said he's 38 and he ran out of quests, which scares me. Is there no higher level area in the game? You can go to level 50, so there has to be.

Ran out of quests? As in he finished the game? Because that's the only way to run out of quests. I know you finish the game around that level. And you do a second playthrough to get to 50.

ooooh, i see. yeah, he finished the game, then did another quest or two, and ended up being in an open world scenario with no quests to do. maybe he's retarded and didn't realize you could do multiple play-throughs

Trumby

AH I see! I haven't actually finished the game so I'm not sure how obvious it is with the second play-through thing.

On Friday I finally beat the base 33 levels of torchlight, but you can download a mod that adds 6 extra levels to the game (made by the game's designers).

Anyone who plays this game needs to download the mod to respec since it's interesting to play around with the specs.

What classes are you all playing?

Game's going on sale this weekend - 12/19. It'll cost you $10. That, kids, is a steal.

Reinstalled, started playing again, made a casting/summoning alchemist (as opposed to the melee alchemist I made last time) and having a blast, pun not initially intended, but going with it...

I saw you playing last night too! Well, not actually watching you while you play, but seeing that you were playing. Erm, Steam was stalking you--not me! :p

Uh huh, sure Bram.

As another tangent, I did get the game for my dad back when it went on sale and he played through it and seemed to enjoy it quite a bit. The dungeon crawlers seem to be the only ones he can manage well with since the hack and slash is aided by his intense panic/flailing. (Well, such things aid him in fighter games too, his Nightmare in SC II was very annoying.) I'll have to see if he'll pick it up again and help satiate his need for Diablo III.

WAT, are you saying Nightmare can be played with button mashing? BLASPHEMOUS. I won't hear of such nonsense!

Crazy Rambles's picture

Crazy Rambles

Well, to be fair I was able to beat his Nightmare using my feet before. One victory involved him jumping out of the ring and the other was by k.o.

Me too! I played a bit of TL2 @ PAX and it was nice, new, expanded worlds and stuff, multiplayer, etc...buuut, not D3. FU @ Blizz for boycotting PAX.

I go to the website and try really hard to pretend I'm playing the demo scenes. Just like all the little kids at the arcades when they didn't have 1/4's.
