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

[Aeshi]

This exact same thread was made about a month ago... [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.372579-Poll-Diablo-III-or-Torchlight-II?page=1]

And I say the same now as I did then, Diablo 3 because Torchlight 2 seems to have a feature list written with the nostalgia-blinded in mind.

Diablo 3, Torchlight 2, Grim Dawn, Path of Exile... sheesh. Cluster-fuck of click-fests.

I don't like that Diablo 3 doesn't trust the player with character attributes or skill-points.

I found Torchlight 1 boring (after 30 hours).

Probably Path of Exile (immense skill-tree) over Grim Dawn (from maker of Titan Quest), but I sense that Blizzard will nail the addictive elements of loot-finding in Diablo 3 and trump them all.

I imagine a lot of people will answer Torchlight 2. But Blizzard hasn't steered me wrong yet, so Diablo 3 for me.

 

[Random Fella]

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

omg omg omg :rage: :rage: :rage: how dare you say dat shit, diablo da shit yo

/insert condescending victorious laugh!

Though really, I laughed hard because I imagined the metal gear solid Alert sound with that exclamation point.

Haha, I see you did catch on to that then xD

Torchlight 2.

I like Blizzard don't get me wrong here and while I am sure there much more capable of keeping the login servers up unlike say Ubisoft... Its still something I will not personally support, Just as I don't support Ubisoft.

If I am out and about away from my desktop on a long trip I bring my laptop, The issue being that while on the move say on a Train or on a Plane I would like the option to boot up my game with some headphones in, Always Online games don't give me that option.

At least with steam I can get the laptop ready for it in offline mode before going.

Diablo 3, Torchlight was awesome but Diablo has always kept me occupied.

I expect D3 to keep me occupied, and Blizz has not let me down....ever

Diablo III
In spite of getting more and more disappointed with every news update since 2009, I still itch to play this game. Have been wanting a D3 game ever since my D2 days back in 2002. I might pick up Torchlight II eventually, but I'm not that intrested in it. Thought the first one was dull.

I'll be playing both. The poll is stupid - there are people that can afford both and there are people that aren't stupid fanboys/fangirls. There is absolutely NO reason for me not to play them both.

I've already bought three copies of Diablo 3 and four copies of Torchlight 2.

since? since when? since what? since who?

The question we may never know the answer too!

Ya really spent $260 on 4 Copies of T2 ($20 each) and 3 Copies of D3 ($60 each)

Dapper Kouen detects a exaggeration

Yes, I did actually. I'm the one buying games for my friends. Three copies of Diablo 3 and the four-pack of Torchlight 2 on Steam.

My friends are either low on cash or pirates which means I'll have to get them the games if I want to play with them. I'm fine with that, it's a small price to pay for all the hours of fun we get out of it.

The 4 Pack I can roll with but you must really love you're friends to give out 3 copies of Diablo 3.

But on the other topic, I don't find the pole stupid in that its asking for a preference rather than anything else. Many will end up with both I would imagine, but some may be looking forward to one over the other more. Maybe they have a reason for only wanting one, such as myself.

And with that I bid you good day sir

Considering TL1 was a cheap Diablo clone to begin with, I don't see why I should play a cut-down version instead of the great original.

Since I've also played the D3 beta and I know for a fact that I will greatly enjoy the game, there is NO reason whatsoever to even consider TL2 over D3 at this point.

I wasn't fast enough with my edit on my last post; Those that I play with are either low on cash or pirates, so if I want to play with them I'll have to get them the games, which I am fine with as it's a small price to pay for all the hours of fun I (we) get out of it.

Besides, it's not that much money in Sweden. 150 bucks for three copies of Diablo 3 isn't that big of a deal. Even unemployed people get about 1,800$ per month, so 150$ for Diablo 3 isn't that much after all.

Showing your friends the way is a good thing and I can see what your getting at

Why not both.... Ill never understand this disire people have to say something is better then another...

Everyone has a Preference though which is what is being looked for in this thread like I just mentioned ABOVE YOU

 

[DazZ.]

I somehow missed Diablo II when I was growing up and my first randomised ARPG experience was Torchlight, so I'm naturally more excited for Torchlight II that I am Diablo.

However I will eventually get both, but I think D3 will be a fair while away whereas I'll preorder TL2. I can't justify spending full price for games when I have such an extensive backlog already, but £15 for Torchlight II I can handle.

The always onlineness of Diablo 3 is off putting, certainly when I love hardcore modes and my net can cut out very occasionally, but I have a fair few friends who are going to be playing it so I'd likely be online most of the time anyway.

Torchlight 2. Because torchlight was a blast, and I just don't believe in feeding the "man".
