I caved, and pre-ordered. Didn't realize it was available for pre-order on Steam, though.  |

"Unlocks in 22 hours", someone at Steam marketing must've dozed off during math class  On the flip side, I can't even pre-load this! |

Yea it is pretty much the most annoying goddamn thing people mention whenever Diablo comes up.

There is only one way of making a game of genre x. That's why every MMO is a dikumud. There is no other way of doing things. We have always been this way.

Bought this last night. For $18 I can't complain if it's terrible. Hell, WoW was going to auto-resub two days ago before I cancelled it, so it's almost like making that payment.

You know for some reason I hadn't thought of it that way, but that really puts in perspective exactly why everyone should buy this game. |

GamersGate has it unlocked by the way. And it is very good.

This hasn't been on my radar much, but pre-ordered from steam and excited its getting great initial feedback. I think I am more looking forward to try out user-created content, and dabble in making my own.

Ran around for a bit on each of the characters, but I had super limited time to look at it. Lots of cool buttons and items and stuff! This is one that I'll have to put some considerable time into once I'm through Borderlands.

Hay guise. Since I traveled in time from Sunday, the wait was easy. Am downloading. Am changing pants.

Good thing October 27th finally arrived somewhere around Ulan Bator too, so that the whole world can download now!
More positive reviews are popping up, I read a couple german ones today, both rating it at around 8.5/10.
I'm downloading now as well, am really anxious to play some.

Woah. Music in Torchlight (the town) is extremely similar to Town (aka music in Tristram, Diablo). It's Matt Uelmen's music, alright.

Yep, about an hour in I decided I already got my $18 out of it. It's not perfect, but it's fun and it's going to keep me busy.

Yeah, I think I'll be jumping on this bandwagon. I've decided to skip Borderlands and need a game to tide me over until Dragon Age.
Oh sweet sweet loot!

Gameplay on the giantbomb quick look was pretty dull. A diablo-II clone with less features, one town, one dungeon, 20 hours of gameplay and no multi-player that would have given it more replayability. And it's not like adding that feature would have changed or impaired their "design", in so much as a clone can have one.
Still, it's cheap and diablo II is ancient now so good timing for them.

Torchlight is more fun than Borderlands so far, about 2 hours in.

I never checked, but is there a way to respec? I'm sort of just rambling through the game right now picking what makes sense. Stampede->thunder stomp->cleave rules.

Dude. They're selling the single player to pay for making the multiplayer. It's not as if adding that 'feature' is so insignificant. Like you said, twenty bucks. I just spent all day on it, and it was more than worth it. |

Fixed it for you, and suddenly all the rest of the things you said should be a lot more understadable. Also, the editor is huge, mods are going to make this game. |

Fixed again. Loving the loot. Couldn't figure out the transmuter at first glance, how exactly does it work? |
