Torchlight 2

[Bump]

Figured we better get a current thread about this game.

It's all set to release on September 20. Less than 2 weeks away. I already have it purchased and ready to go on steam. Oh, did I mention it's only $20? I'm sure they could "double it" but they must want people to enjoy their game that they made.

For those who don't know, Torchlight 2 is created by Runic games and those guys co-founded Blizzard North, back when Blizzard made great games.

Torchlight 2 is going to be what Diablo 3 should have been. Just a different theme and the graphics aren't going to be as good, but that's fine! It will literally shit on Diablo 3 in every other way.

This game is going to be awesome!

Once everyone gets the game we can list our game names here.

Who's excited?

I started playing this a bit last night, and it was pretty fun. Question, though...

My toon is an Outlander, so I'd like to shoot from a distance. However, I'm finding that when I left-click on something to attack it, I sometimes click on the ground next to the mob, and then my guy is running up to the melee. Or, if I'm rapidly clicking on a big mob, as soon as he dies my guy runs up because now I'm clicking the ground.

Is there a way that I can stay rooted in one spot while I blast things from a distance? Or any other tips for staying at a distance?

hold down shift while you attack, you will stand in place.

it lets you change the key control to whatever you want.

yeah...i was worried the first time

I really prefer this style of ARPG. When decisions you make actually matter. I love the skill point system and all of the other little stuff, like enchanting, gambling and shit. ****ing great game. So much better than that piece of shit D3.

Good game so far

[KILLER_CLOWN]

I still don't understand why Runic waited until now to release this, they could have made more money by releasing a little sooner or waiting a month.

Re-rolled as an Engineer and have been having a blast with it. The Heal Bot is awesome, as it keeps me from having to pop potions all the time. And the flame strike (whatever it's called) is a great way to take out multiple mobs.

I just got to Act II last night, and I'm looking forward to checking out the desert.

for $20, this game is amazing...right in my button mashing wheelhouse

trolling dungeons with a pack of exploding spiders is kind of unfair, but a lot of fun...great metallic sound for their deployment
