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

[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.

Captcha: top ten

Dont forget you can play Torchlight 2 with your friends on a LAN without having to connect to the internet. That is one of the things I am most looking forward to. Diablo 3 just seems really sad by comparison (in my opinion of course!)

Of course, but all my gamer friends and myself are computer science majors, we can and WILL figure something out, as we always do.

Both, duh! Their aren't enough Diablo-like games.

Though it'll be diablo first, since it comes out first.

So, it's almost time for your reemergence Blizz fans and your king of point n' click...

and you Torchlighters are waiting for summer to come around to rub the $20 in their faces!...

and I'm on the fence.

But this is about you, Escapists!: Which game, Diablo 3 or Torchlight 2, are you going to get, which do you prefer if you aren't, and most importantly WHY! (so I can figure a decision for myself).

Diablo 3.

I tried to like Torchlight. I really did. I played it for about 6 hours and by the end, I was trying to find reasons to keep playing. The game just doesn't have the soul that Diablo has (Ironically). I kept finding myself running around going "Why am I doing this?" and eventually I couldn't answer the question and stopped playing. Shame really.

 

[Waaghpowa]

Personally, getting both. Why? I play Wow, and blizz is giving me D3 for free.

 

[Blondefool]

Torchlight 2 because I don't think my laptop will run Diablo 3 for very long before committing Seppuku. That and I can't have internet on all the time.

 

[evilneko]

I keep waiting for a dungeon crawler to match the dark, gritty atmosphere of Classic Diablo. If there is one, I've missed it. D2 is just too cartoony and bright, not to mention the lack of real challenge.

I don't think Torchlight 2 will be what I'm looking for either.

Diablo 3. The last Torchlight suffered because it had boring levels and no multiplayer. Torchlight 2 should fix the mutiplayer problem but I don't know about the boring level problem.

Also this!

Getting D3 free, so I technically already bought it. Love blizz, not a huge fan of activision-blizz, but their story telling is great as always, and although there are more obvious cash grabs, the soul of the game remains very true to its core, and I like that.

 

[pure.Wasted]

Not buying either, but if someone handed me some extra cash, still neither, but if they also put a gun to my head and said "you have to buy one of these games," definitely D3.

Blizzard anything over a similar non-Blizzard anything 99.5 times out of 100.

You're simply guaranteed to get your money's worth. It's going to be a pleasant, polished experience with minimal glitches and minimal frustration.

 

[RedDeadFred]

Neither because I am a poor college student. I'm only buying one loot driven game this year and that is going to be Borderlands 2.

If I had to choose between the two no matter what I guess I would go with Torchlight 2 because it's cheaper.

 

[Elf Defiler Korgan]

Dark souls, getting closer to finishing it, then ng+.

 

[Elamdri]

I like neither. Diablo III is piss easy, you can play it with one hand and run naked to the first boss on the highest difficulty after 5 mins of playing with 2 players and own it by headbanging your nose at random keys.

I thought Diablo 3 beta was restricted to normal mode. Meethinks you are exaggerating a smidge.

 

[tzimize]

Diablo 3.

No contest at all.

Torchlight might be mod-friendly and not have the stupid always online stuff, but its just Diablo 2 with cartoony graphics. In fact, its probably worse than Diablo 2 with cartoony graphics.

I got tired of Torchlight 1 pretty fast, and I'd rather be playing Diablo 2 than that.

And after trying the D3 open beta...HAHAHAHAHAHAHA....Torchlight could have been 1$ and I'd still pick Diablo 3.

 

[RN7]

Torchlight 2 because I'm a cheap bastard, liked torchlight 1, never played Diablo and don't really like blizzard. I'd probably play Path of Exile because it looks fun and is free to play as well.

 

[cainx10a]

Getting both, and Grim Dawn as well as Guild Wars 2. Life is short; not sure why I should limit myself to only having fun with one and only one product.

 

[loc978]

Not fond of clickfest dungeon crawlers... but I'd be more likely to get Torchlight 2. Another thing my roommate is into, and from what I've seen of Torchlight, it's a massive improvement on the Diablo formula.

 

[shintakie10]

If Torchlight 2 is anythin like Torchlight 1 it'll be crap in comparison to Diablo 3 because Torchlight 1 was a borin snoozefest compared to D2. The only reason it was remotely playable were the mods which, as with all mods, were mostly miss with some hit.

Seriously. The first Torchlight was a horribly bland version of Diablo 2 with all the actual fun bits takin out. Why can anyone expect anythin different when Torchlight 2 comes out?

Edit - Because I feel the need to actually answer the question. Diablo 3 in a heartbeat because after playin Torchlight to see what all the fuss was about I was left wantin to the point that I fished out my 10 year old D2 and LoD discs to actually play a fun dungeon crawler.
