Sweet! Gifted a copy to my brother - thanks.

 

[SunnyD]

Very VERY nice. Been playing this game a lot the last couple weeks. Arbiter tree FTMFW!

 

[Tristicus]

Hmm...I'd like a copy of this. Oh well. Good deal though.

 

[Skott]

I have this one on my laptop and desktop. Its a fun game if you like Diablo like dungeon crawls. For $5 its more than worth it.

 

[Knavish]

In for one.

 

[Slew Foot]

Its OK, it gets very repetitive fast.

 

[borisvodofsky]

Is this shit online yet. :hmm::hmm::hmm:

Fun game. Absolutely no originality as it has borrowed everything from WoW and Diablo (Runic is full of people who worked on Diablo, so it's understandable I guess.) I actually really like Warcraft's graphical style, so seeing it prettied up in Torchlight is cool. Loot whoring has never been so much fun.

 

[slag]

music is ripped exactly from diablo.. love it

but yeah, repetitive as hell.. installed it on both of my kids machines and mine and its ok so far.

 

[Gothgar]

I bought it back on the holiday sale, unfortunately I still haven't played it, lol I bought way too much shit on their holiday sale

 

[slag]

My pet keeps getting stuck.. so frustrating

Just got past the cause of the ground shaking.. not going to give anything away

 

[Nintendesert]

Well worth the buy. It plays well even on my laptop with an 8400m chip in it.

They didn't "rip" it, they employed the guy who did the d2 music.

for 5 bux its awesome

I picked this up also. addictive like Diablo and Titan Quest

question... I am up to the ruins area where I went down the stairs to area with the connected wooden bridges and could not go anywhere else after killing everything.

Is there a portal or another stairs to let you proceed?

Ah ya, and those two games borrowed from 2 other games and so on.... BLIZZARD doesnt have an original IP in the lot, every game they have made is a rehash of someody elses idea (but i must admit they do it far better then most (copy)).

Torchlight is made by the team (members of) that did Mythos, who also has the guy who did FATE.. which was a copycat of Diablo which was a copy of... you get the picture...and yes ex Blizzard people too.

As for originality.. i dont recall guns in Diablo.. Originality, never be any in games, its all been done before.. but ingenuity... now that is the key.

Torchlight never ends, goes on forever, so for $5 you get a clone game with new graphics, different classes (although the same, they all shoot or bash). that you can play, well till you are sick of it. Not a bad deal for those who like that kind of gameplay.

well worth the 5.00 already. put in probably 6-8 hrs playing it this weekend.

 

[acheron]

I picked this up during the holiday sale, pretty sure it was $5 then too. It was a lot of fun for awhile. After I beat the 'normal' dungeon, I played a few rounds of the endless dungeon before the repetitiveness got to me. But I got a lot of fun out of it and it's a steal at $5.

 

[Magusigne]

Yeah its worth 5 dollars for sure...again..a bit repetitive but none the less fun.

 

[Elcs]

I pre-ordered Torchlight so paid around $20 for it and it was well worth the price of admission.

As for originality.. i dont recall guns in Diablo..

Compare the guns in Torchlight to the Muskets used by the Dwarves in Warcraft 3.... quite a similarity there

 

[AstroManLuca]

I played the demo a while back but missed out on the last $5 sale. It was $10 for a while but I wasn't really into it enough at the time. But this time I jumped right on it. For $5 you really can't go wrong.

 

[viivo]

Has anybody played Runic's older Fate series? I'm afraid to try as you have to download some bloated software just to play them.

 

[Dryst999]

Looks like the $5 sale is off. I bought it on steam 2 hours ago for $5 b/c of this thread and just checked steam again 2 seconds ago and it's back to full price so i'm glad I didn't wait till I got off work to purchase it lol. Excited to go home and play it, I figure it'll give me at least 20hours of fun before it gets repetitive.

Fucking steam kills me with impulse buying. Games under $10 and having my cc info saved just makes it too easy to not resist.

Ah ya, and those two games borrowed from 2 other games and so on

What game did Diablo 1 copy? Rogue? Serious question.

As for originality.. i dont recall guns in Diablo..

There are guns in Warcraft (World and regular,) which is a bigger influence on the setting, visuals, atmosphere, skills, systems and characters of Torchlight than was Diablo.
