Titan Quest

Yeah it's a clone, a really really good one though and I'm enjoying the first few hours.

So if you like D2 then you will like Titan quest.
 
I got a preorder in at Gamestop. It should be in the stores tomorrow. Seems like the early reviews are very positive. If you don't want to DL the demo I know that Gamestop is giving 'em away.
 
I played it for a few more hours, really enjoy it. I'm playing the necro guy and just got an uber pet. It actually seems the pet is unbalanced as he can wallop mobs like a mofo.
 
I'm loving it too.

You get to pick a second class at level 8, what did you pick for your Theurgist as a second class?

I have two characters so far, the first I played was a Wonderer/Warfare which is called a Champion. Pretty cool running around with my wolf and wielding two Gladius'

My other character is the Spirit class (Theurgist) and I'm almost to level 8. I'm not sure what I want to pick as a second class for this character though. Thinking probably Earth and keep it a magic based character

not even close on the DS reference, this game you actually play instead of watching.

no, its an exact copy of D2, screens and everything, just different skins and setting.
 
Looks pretty sweet! Where the hell did this game come from? Haven't heard of it till now.

I read the Gamespot review. I'll definitely be getting the demo tonight after work, problem is my cable connect is so pathetically slow that I likely won't be playing it till tomorrow.

The Gamespot review mentioned theres dozens of Diablo clones, but IMO not one has been anywhere near as fun as D2 is. I never found the DS games to be enough like it, nor has Sacred. Sure I could go re-buy D2+LoD but I don't wanna dump all that time into the game anymore.

If the multiplayer is huge and the item system is great (as much as it sucked to never have the uber l33t weapons that everyone was obsessed with in D2, I still could get my fair share of decent weapons, I like the huge variety possible with rares, sets, uniques etc) I'd considering buying it.
 
I just read the Gamespot review as well the following sums it up nicely:

Since it seems unlikely that Blizzard itself is going to produce a new Diablo game anytime soon, Titan Quest really is the next-best thing. The gradual approach to character creation taken here is welcome, and the sheer scope of the single-player campaign, coupled with the cooperative play and tools to create your own campaign, means that players willing to commit to the experience will have a wealth of content to keep themselves busy with. There's no shame in modeling your game after the genre-defining Diablo franchise, which capably streamlined the PC RPG into something faster and more accessible, but some of Titan Quest's holdovers seem a bit antiquated. It doesn't take action RPGs to a whole new level or anything, but you'll probably have fun with it if you've enjoyed these kinds of games in the past.

I just finished the demo lastnight at 1280x1024. It matches D2 in areas but seems "CHUNKY"! Legos compared to Duplo blocks **LMAO** Maybe playing it at 1600x1200 would help a bit.

Picking up items is a pain, having sometimes to mulitiple click on something.
Seem like too many of the same items drop. Not just talking 2-3....... Try 10+ Rusty Knives in a small area.
Buying items at the merchant is also clunky. Most items you view are duplicates and have the same exact stats.
Mini map sucks azz.


I'm glad I played the demo first 🙂

to see items on the ground you canhold down the Z buttom to see all items, or you can use different keys to filter out garbage.

It looks really good at 1920x1080, and it came with natural widescreen support.

 
i've really been wanting a Diablo 2-like game lately. Reinstalled D2 but with the low res and having played it out previously, it just doesn't do it for me.

I played this demo a little while back but didn't really think to much of it. may have to try it again.

I've read that most stores wont get it until tomorrow. Try back then

EDIT: Assuming you have a Best Buy in the area, just go there and get it (i've read most people have gotten it there and BB advertised it in sundays ad). EB, Gamestop and others don't have it and the places I've spoken to say they are coming (on the way) or they wont get it until tomorrow.
 
AMDZen, thanks for the heads up. Confirmed that BB in my area has it. Hopefully at 8pm they will still have DVD versions left.
 
just got the demo...i enjoyed it. i just killed the main quest guy/boss and now i have to go find someone in another kingdom or something.
 
I got my first set piece today, and I found a mini boss with 1 magic chest and 3 yellow chests next to him I can farm in a 10 minute or less run, yeah I'm hooked now.

Picked up the full version yesterday after playing plenty of the demo. So far so good. Lotsa classes and class combos you can choose.......which is one of the challenges. As is choosing skills.....which ones to take, advance and which ones to leave alone. I've started with a Theurgist in part 'cause I played one in DAoC. But this guy is much different than the DAoC one. Still not sure I want to play this class.

One thing that I like here better than D2 is that there seems to be less zerging from the enemy. In D2 the AI would challenge you by throwing a bazillion enemy at you at once. There seems to be less of that here.
 
got the demo again last night and played for a bit.

when i palyed it like last month or so, i played as straight warrior and it kinda sucked. i took the earth skillset and the spell that adds fire damage and that made it 10x easier. everything dies in like 1-2 hits.

still not sure if i'll buy it yet or not.
