Titan Quest: Immortal Throne

[pontifex]

anyone play this yet? its the expansion to titan quest.

i wasn't overly impressed with Titan Quest but I was wondering if the expansion made it better? I uninstalled TQ shortly after I finished it. Playing through again on harder levels was completely boring.

didn't know it was out yet, but it looked good

It lets you share items between characters now which is the major improvement I was looking for.

You can't play the new content unless you finish TQ. You can start a new character in the expansion but the toon would need to go through Acts 1-3 in TQ before it can go to TQ:IT. The expansion pack won't give you much benefit if you haven't beaten TQ basic.

Hmm...1up gave it a 9/10...

They gave the original TQ a 7/10...

Interesting...

Yup itsa PITA. I've got a level 31 Soothsayer that I imported over. But I wanted to roll something new. So I started a new toon and it began at the beginning of act 1. I ain't going through the entire game again to get to the new stuff.

I played the demo of TQ and like it.
Been looking around and cant find what I want.

Does anybody know if they have a DVD collectors edition with the add-ons and game all in one disc?

not yet. the expansion just came out on 3/5

The only thing I remember about TQ is that there were so much loot, it became a pain in the ass to sort through all of the sh1t. Dungeon Siege was the same way.

I started to play through on the next difficulty level, but gave up after 5 minutes.

BTW pontifex, did you finish Jade Empire or just give up on it?

well, i didn't totally give up but i haven't played much of it. i just can't really get into it. the fights are too hard. I don't know if its because the controls suck or what, but you're frequently put against 3 or more enemies by yourself and since its real time, you get your ass kicked.

Sometimes you have another person helping, but you're still going up against like 6 enemies and the other person doesn't seem to do very well or he fights one and you've got the other 5 after you. several times i've gotten backed into a corner or got stuck so i could move to avoid their attacks.

you also get weapons you can use, but you have to use focus, which drains extremely quickly, so its almost worthless.

I think I'm on the medium difficulty so I might restart on easy and try again.

I'm really disappointed with the game.

oh wow i didnt know an expansion was out already. It came out less than a year ago.

I loved the game, I was addicted to it for a while and someone from AT was hooking me up with awesome loot too. I'll look into this for damn sure.

 

[sourceninja]

initial report from my friend who loved titan quest says the expansion sucks. I should be playing it when I hang out with him this weekend.

I think Best Buy has a deal if you buy both, you get $10 off instantly. Original is $19.99 and expansion is $29.99, so two games for less than $40. Been thinking of pulling the trigger myself.

My bf and I are still working through the original on co-op. I really like it, I think I like it a lot more than Dungeon Siege. I am looking forward to the expansion.

 

[Hadsus]

I see now why I was having a difficult time of it right off the start with TQ:IT. There is an option to turn on the level identifier of mobs (off by default) and see right on the beach at the beginning I'm facing level 33 crabs while I was just level 30. I don't know if those dudes are scaled but that's some pretty high levels to see at normal difficulty right at the start. This is definitely harder than TQ when I pretty much breezed through with my caster. Now I need to dump all my skill points into heart of oak to raise my toughness. I've played two nights and I think I've died about 20 times....seriously. I'm not very patient so there's part of the problem.

I remember hearing that this game was pretty buggy, making it a PITA to install and that one of the media formats the game was shipped on, either DVD or CD, had a better success rate of installation than the other. Does anyone remember which it was?

seriously, if I didnt have a new kid I would play it again.
