Destructoid:
When I received an invite to the Torchlight II beta, I let out a noise that can only be described as a "yelp." It was a happy noise, one that I wasn't quite sure I was capable of making. "This will be a great time killer until Diablo III comes out," I thought. Well, now that Diablo III is out, I still find myself booting up the Torchlight II client quite often.
Via Diablo’s global director of community Adam Fletcher, Blizzard is introducing new measures to improve the quality of season launches in the future. Across both Diablo 4 and the aging Diablo 3, fans of Blizzard’s games should all benefit.
If they didn't let the cellphone guy touch the 3rd one in first place, they wouldn't have to dance around like clowns trying to make money.
We've been asking for less "boring" seasons... "boring"... not "buggy"... same ol' rehashed content just a different color is not working.
Who says a dud game can't have a video game comeback?
Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have to be up there. We're lucky and cursed, equally, to have games that can be updated now. For folks old enough to remember the Sega/SNES into PS1 and even 2 eras, if a game came out that was half baked (*cough*Angel of Darkness*cough*) that was it, no redemption. At the same time, having the option for updates shouldn't be an excuse for half assing games.
I remember when the Nintendo Seal of Approval meant something.
All those games had to release without bugs.
Diablo III still works on modern PlayStation and Xbox consoles, and remains hugely playable a decade after initial release.
TL2 seems like the better value price and features wise
I've had extensive beta access to Diablo 3 (prior to launch), path of exile, and torchlight 2. Having been a die hard Diablo 2 fan, it's my opinion that Torchlight 2 best fills the void that quitting diablo 2 left.
Agree with everything in this post
have been playing the tl2 beta also, loving it
the game is playing so smooth, the drop in drop out feature and lobbies is great, had my HC character died the other day lvl 18, 3 levels of the max for the beta, love how fun the bosses are

this game really is pulling out all the stops this time around from what i have played in the beta, and that was only first town..cannot wait for this to be released, will play path of exile while waiting for it
id like to try it, torchlight was pretty good. Id like to see what they can do with a bigger budget.
