I really loved the original, and have been waiting for this release. Nothing like an awesome dungeon crawler to keep you grinding for hours. Oh yeah and I was the first post so I should Get in!!!! BOOYA!

Lazy_Sunday4366d ago

Well, I believe I should get the beta keys for several reasons:

1) I posted right after the first comment, so you know you know I know I'm special. And by special, I mean better than everybody else. Not in a selfish way, just in a 'haha, I'm better than you, seriously, I am. Haha! We're joking but I'm totally serious.' Kind of way. Like that. Haha. Get it?

2) I made my own avatar instead of using one of the default ones. That took time. Lots of time. Time I could have spent living my life. But instead I spent it here. Making an avatar. For you guys to maybe see.

3) I am handicapped. I have a severe illness that required my spine to be removed and replaced with a synthetic metal unit. This left me unable to walk for two months. Now I can walk, but just not during lightning storms (tehe!). I also have ADHD, so my mental handicap puts me at a par 4.

I just played the sympathy card. Bam. You know that makes you feel guilty.

4) I am a huge fan of Torchlight 1. I bought it on Steam and have logged over 300 hours into the game. My only complaint is that it didn't have multiplayer. And now it does. And I have been dying every time the game has been delayed. One day I might die. And I might never get to play Torchlight 2 before it launches. Do you want to be responsible for letting me not have that opportunity?

5) I am no longer a virgin, so I can not enjoy the splendors of life like I used to in ignorance. Please give this poor young college student an opportunity, to save his life! Save him from the liquid devil, the mary juana, and the pressures of his peers! Do you want to destroy this young man's life? If you don't give him a beta key to Torchlight 2, you might just do that :O

Pressure's on N4G. The choice is yours. Give it to some random sneering child (no offense everyone), or save someone's life. Give that beta key to me. Save the life of a young man. For his future. Who knows, maybe he'll use that key to cure cancer? I guess we'll have to see.

Balls in your court.

hendrawan4362d ago

what if u just wait for the release?
everyone might die... EVERYONE! you might die today, so do i... but its percentage is lower than 0.000001%

So, u just need to wait and sit on ur lazy ***, for the release :D

blackpanther9894366d ago

Ever since the first torchlight 1 my friends and I have all wished it had multiplayer and now it does with Torchlight 2 and we can't wait.

Cirran4366d ago

Never played Torchlight 1 but very interested in this. Already pre purchased it on steam.

DeleteThisxx4366d ago

So, you pre-purchased Torchlight II on Steam and haven't played the first one, eh?

That's funny, considering you get the first one for free when you purchase Torchlight II.

Cirran4366d ago

Hows it funny?_? Thats one of the reasons I prepurchased it. To play the first one. Haven't got round to it yet tho.

Rynocirator4366d ago

I have been playing isometric action rpgs since baldur's gate and diablo 1 and it is my favorite genre, I own all the popular games like diablo, diablo 2, diablo 3 (bought the collector's edition), torchlight, titan quest, grim dawn (backed the kickstarter), and I plan on getting torchlight 2 and from the videos I've seen it vastly improves from the first game (which was close to perfect even with the absence of multiplayer) so I think I'm a good candidate because of my love of the genre

I have boobs, deal with it.

I personally do remember Infogrames in the years prior to merger. They really did have a portfolio that stuck out and I enjoyed. I wonder what value they see in reviving it now though?

PlayStation auto-play patent shows a feature to skip grindy sections of games

Sony is apparently experimenting with an AI tool that will play the game for you when you are grinding away. A PlayStation patent for “auto-play” mode would simulate your gameplay style in certain environments and apply them to skip that section completely. This technology would likely be built directly into the cloud-based PlayStation Network and be a new feature that subscribers would have access to.

Hah! Either will never happen or publishers will charge you to use this AI. This concept would only exacerbate the problem we already have with GaaS.

gold_drake5h ago

doesnt that concept already exist tho?

buy dlc to get a ahead in games? money, weapon and exp dlc come to mind but yeh. one more thing for them.to potentially charge for.

Christopher4h ago

Usually, for GaaS/Seasonal games, you'll have to perform actions to earn specific in-game currency to buy things for events. Then they sell the currency with real cash or a third-currency to then buy the in-game currency items (it's honestly truly bloated to hide that they're cheating you out of money). With this, they'll just give you items if you do something 50 times or the like and then charge you to have the game play it for you. It's better, right? No currency shenanigans, just play the game and we reward you! But, the truth is they'll inflate the amount of times you have to play through content just to get the same thing.

jambola1h ago

Why?
Why not just remove the Grindy part?

I hope it's not an excuse to make them worse, but optional if you pay

Eonjay1h ago

This IGN blogger mode will allow 'reviewers' to play games like rest of us.
I will never forget watching GamingBolts spoiler video for Horizon FW and realizing they never played it. Made me wonder if they play games at all.

As if most modern games don't hold your hand enough already.

Sky Climb Review - Duuro

Duuro says: "I think the idea behind the movement is cool, but on the other hand, the execution and clear limitation of the platform somewhat undermine the whole thing."
