Torchlight 2 Black edition PC game

I really like this game, it is way better than DIablo 3, for a bunch of reasons, Better characters, it is cheaper, has NO DRM/Battlenet issues- you do have to go to steam to authenticate and update but unlike the trouble plagued Battlenet, Steam seems to never have any issues, ( Hey Blizzard you Jerk-O's learn from your competition mostly good games but a terrible greedy incompetant company these days I hate Blizzard now) and can play single player offline and with LAN as well for multiplayer, Torchlight 2 has some different and nice game features. It is also MOD-friendly unlike anything Blizzard does. I love how accomadating the game is with gear and options the pet is also kinda fun and handy for more inventory space and its ability to go to town for you, I have not finished this game yet, but I like dual wielding a pistol and sword simultaneously with my Outlander and I look forward to a second play thorugh using the Paladin available from a synergies MOD for free. About my only complaint is the weapons look stupid-cartoony( has anybody who designs games ever really realized form follows function- real swords are shaped that way because they work best in that shape, its minor but it pisses me off a bit) but the character customization is good, choice of sex, head, hair, skin tone, and 4 classes to choose from without any mods applied. Since this was developed by the guys who did Diablo 2 ( apparently they were betrayed by Blizzard and all fired) it really does remind me of Diablo 2 in a lot of ways and plays like it. So far it is bug free and performs flawlessly. I like the firearms but I never knew that flintlocks could fire so rapidly ( sarcasm) but that is no more idiotic than hand crossbows are. Monsters are all the usual suspects pretty much and superbly adequate. The loot drops are good and there are a lot of items. If you die ( !!!) it gives you the very cool option of restarting in town or where you are for a penalty in gold I like that, I was pretty deep in my cups and I stopped to make a cocktail and got killed by carelessly not pausing it. I am at work at the moment and just wish I could play right now, ha my boss would want to play it too! Some will say it isnt all that original compared to say Diablo 2 that doesnt make it bad at all. I wish I had known about this game sooner. Thanks Daedalic great game but if you have questions about weapons ask an expert or do the research, maybe there is a mod to make weapons look better. Be sure and select English on install since the game is in German normally. Still very enjoyable, Divinity Original Sin is next!

1st off, when i go on-line, it says this game is no longer supported. i haven't messed around enough to find out, i just play it solo. you do seem to need to be on-line to start the game, but then i just dis-connect the internet while it loads, no hassles. there are some changes from the 1st game, but over-all they are good ones. there's a new upgrade system for items and gems that takes some figuring out, but it works well.several character classes, and some cool pets; i find the berserker teamed with a cud-chewing llama hilarious! if you can find this, you should buy it - my seller sent it well-packed and timely, in perfect condition!

I am having a blast killing gangs of bad guys and racking up great loot; this is even better than the first one. BTW I am over 60 and have been playing RPGs since the 70s, when we had to read the action in text on screen and answer y/n questions!! "You are in the Hall of the Mountain Dwarf King, you are at the edge of a gaping crevasse, you have a rope, a horn and a sword. Do you brandish your sword?..." etc, etc. I am not comparing this to today's games, but over the years I have played some great stuff and some real crap...Torchlight 2 is great stuff. Kyla G means Kiss Your Lame Ass Goodbye...see ya in the dungeons!!

First off Forget EVERYTHING you learned about Torchlight 1, and as a matter of fact just put it away because you will never play it again. The game is awesome, a lot will be familiar from the first game, but a LOT has changed. You will now have 4 choices of male or female characters, and 6 pets instead of 2... Powering up your gems... Forget it!... Enchanting your eguiptment... All changed. The game is more totally different than it is the same. You are no longer stuck in one town just exploring two caverns... In Torchlight 2 you travel... You travel a lot!!!... From desert lands to frozen lands and everything in between, and there are caverns everywhere. Most aren't more than two floors down but you can bet your bunnies there is a Boss in every one so be prepaired. Also there are hives of all kinds that you kinda have to ignore all the little critters that are tearing you up and destroy the hives first so they stop producing all the little critters. If you liked Torchlight 1 at all... You will LOVE Torchlight 2. I also want to give a two thumbs up plus to the Runic Support Team... I wanted to play this offline on my gaming computer that will NEVER get corrupted by going on line... I wrote to the Runic site and I won't give his last name but a tech named Tim walked me through everything, and then gave me help when I had other troubles with a different computer, I have NEVER had a better experience dealing with a tech rep in my life than I did with Tim from Runic.Get the game from a reputable dealer, I ordered mine straight from Germany, and it got here as fast as any item ordered locally.All I can say is awesome game!

Torchlight 2 (by Runic) delivers the Multiplayer LAN Co-op game that our gaming group wanted. We do not want Steam or any other 3rd party between us and our game, so this "BLACK" version is right. "BLACK" currently ships only from Germany, but don't be put off by the German language when you open it up - - just click on the "British Empire" flag and you will get perfect English where you need it. We play on a "hardwired LAN" and it works for us. The game's only fault, also shared by the original Torchlight game, is that it uses "isometric view", so you cannot turn to face your enemies. We have just recently received this game, so we have yet to experience most of the adventure. For a similar product with full 3-D, try Dungeon Siege Original, Legends Of Aranna, Dungeon Siege 2, or Broken World. Our group has used these Microsoft games for 10 years and we love them (Thank you, Chris Taylor). But we are looking for another game now, just for variety.

Only just started playing Torchlight 2, but so far its is just as good as the first game may be better time will tell.

It's OK but I still prefer Torchight I. It may sound odd but there are too many 'quests' and the maps are never ending. Some may like that but I found myself losing interest and glazing over after a while.

very quick postage cant wait to finish 1 and get started on T L 2

did not play much

Ich bin jetzt nicht so der Spieleprofi, aber ab und an kaufe ich ein älteres Spiel, dann schafft es auch ein ganz normaler PC (Pentium J4205 mit interner Grafik).Aber leider neigen die Spieledesigner wie von Anfang an zu den gleichen Rezepten. Es werden halt immer mehr Gegner und die werden immer stärker. Und dann werden die Questen - deren Texte egal sind, weil man halt Stationen ablaufen muss - noch verschacheltet, was das Spiel nicht besser, sondern nur unübersichlicher und nerviger macht.Was mich aber ärgert ist, wenn so sinnvolle Sachen wie Automapping für eine Region ausgeschaltet werden, weil das dann einen guten Effekt ergibt. Auch wenn das nur einmal vorkommt, ich will nicht so spielen müssen, wie in den 80ern, wo man sich alles mögliche notieren musste, um voran zu kommen. Beim Pen and Paper-Rollenspiel würden einem die Spieler zu Recht den Vogel zeigen, wenn man von ihnen verlangt, jeden Schritt genau aufzuzeichnen.Wenn ich sowas haben will, ziehe ich im Job (also im wahren Leben) einfach etwas mehr Arbeit an mich und dann muss ich auch schauen, den Überblick nicht zu verlieren.
