Poll: So... Diablo 3 or Torchlight 2?

[Sack of Cheese]

Mmm... I'd love to play both! But I guess I will go for Diablo 3 at this given moment.
I will still be purchasing Torchlight 2 when I have my fill of Diablo 3 though.

The only bright things in DI/II were magic sources. And lava. Everything else was extremely grimdark.

A lot of Act II was reasonably bright, what with all the limestone and desertness. And a lot of the gear was pretty colorful, if not downright fabulous:

I bought TL2 amazingly enough, only real reason that I did it was because TL1 came with it and it's cheap and it's turned out to be a pretty decent game. I have no doubt that D3 is going to be a hell of a lot more entertaining but I highly disagree with the annoying level of DRM they are using so I'm going with the almost non-existent version of DRM present in TL2.

I voted with my wallet...yay!

I didn't hear of Torchlight until very recently. I think it was on Extra Credits or something like that.

I've also never had much interest in playing Diablo. So sorry, I can't really say either, because neither of these things particularly interest me.

Why is there no both option? Your poll is flawed! I've preordered both already as they are both awesome.

Diablo 3 because I have no clue of what the other one is.

Diablo 3 for me, torchlight 1 was just a copy paste job of Diablo 1 except with the difficulty dialed down to 0, and from what I've seen of Torchlight 2 it appears to be a copy paste job of Diablo 2 so yeah, although I'll probably pick it up on steam when it goes cheap, like, really cheap...less than 5 dollars cheap.

I was on the fence for ages but in the end im going with Diablo 3, purely on the fact that most of my friends are going to play it. what can i say i bent to peer pressure haha.

Diablo 3. I enjoyed Torchlight, but found it rather easy (some of those alchemist skills were just ludicrously powerful), and a bit of a superficial experience overall. It was fun, but never sucked me in like Diablo 2 did over and over again.

Realistically, I will probably end up getting both, though. They are both games I'm quite likely to enjoy, they'll both run natively in OS X (a developer behaviour I want to support with my money), and they should both run very well on my computer... so, I might as well enjoy them both!

 

[DOOM GUY]

I will probably end up getting both eventually, but for now I'm getting Diablo 3.

Not only have I been waiting several years for Diablo 3 to release, but I also enjoyed the beta far more than I enjoyed Torchlight (which was good, just not near being as good as the Diablo series.)

I am still pissed about the always on DRM crap, but it never affected my decision to buy the game, and it doesn't really harm my own playing experience, as I am always online anyway.

Torchlight 2 by default, but ignoring the contrivances and the general fuckery associated with Diablo 3, I think they're on equal footing.

I've already preloaded D3, and I've adapted to Starcraft 2's always-online policies. I don't like them, but I want a stable game with regular patches. As long as I can lock out my characters and play strictly alone and similarly ignore the item auction house entirely, I'll be happy.

DRM tends to frustrate me as much as anyone else, but so long as its occasional authentication checks don't deter from the experience, it'll be fine. The main drawback is, of course, that if Blizzard ever goes bust, they'll have to either patch the item generation engine into the users' personal copies of the game before unplugging anything; or just say "Eff you, thanks for the money, we hope you had fun."

Getting Diablo III for now and Torchlight 2 when it's on sale or something.

I just love the story of Diablo too much, and I liked Diablo II more than Torchlight. Torchlight gives you brainless hack and slash, but the story is just.. there, in Diablo you are swallowed and genuinely intrigued by the story.

 

[Kyr Knightbane]

I would say Diablo 3 is gonna be my first one, then definitely Torchlight 2. D3 for multiplayer with buds, and TL2 for plain mods and fun. Its not a case where i'll vote though. I will have both

 

[Zyst]

Diablo 3 because I have no clue of what the other one is.

Torchlight 2 is like what Diablo 3 would be if it was, you know, any good

The only point I concede to Torchlight over Diablo is the mods, I loved me some fucking mods Gave the game so much life, specially the new classes. But still, I do think Diablo is going to be the superior game.

I would recommend Torchlight 2 if you had to choose between the two. Of course, I'd recommend buying just about anything but Diablo 3. If you really want Diablo, go play a mod for Diablo 2.
