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

[Chairman Miaow]

With sorrow: I didn't enjoy Torchlight 1 at all, but loved previous Diablo. The always online thing has put me off completely though, so probably neither.

d3, torchlight way too childish looking even though diablo 3 is sadly on the same wrong path.

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.

Not to sound like an ass (as I've had my threads copied before) but it has been 2 1/2 weeks, and that thread seems to be a bit burried, but sorry anyways.

Thanks for the input though

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

I'm not saying one is better than the other, one should be better than the other, or one will be better. I'm simply asking for personal preferences based on aspects of the game and I want people to post these aspects and mechanics and see which of these games appeals to my own tastes.

If you can afford both great, and even better, but I just want to see the appeal of both games before I make a decision. In the end I may buy both if they both appeal to me but considering I have a laptop for gaming, I'm going to stick with just one for a while.

I'm feeling sad about the lack of love Path of Exile is getting in this thread.

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.

That really isn't the kind of thing to say on a forum that hates Diablo III...

You need to go along with the popular opinion, Torchlight 2 is waaayyy better because it's cheaper, and isn't made by a big evil company that does DRM!

OT: Everyone to their own, I guess.

TL2 hands down. An engine that I know will run on both my PC and laptop. A graphical style that doesn't deviate from the series norm. Actually being able to play offline if I want to. Oh, and the great price tag with no concerns about RMT caused problems.

D3's graphical style doesn't deviate from the "series norm" either.

Um, yeah it does. It's not really bad and still fits the universe... but it does deviate from the norm.

There is nothing wrong with deviating from the norm. I would much rather be able to see some of the awesome enviroments the team spent years crafting, than to be restricted to only seeing what the circle of light around my character shows.

I'll be getting both Love those types of games.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Well I already order Diablo 3 so there goes my vote. Well I admit I haven't look into Touchlight 2 that much but that's because I'm too lazy to look it up.

 

[arnoldthebird]

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 since

since? since when? since what? since who?

The question we may never know the answer too!

I see the mistake in my post, and it will be changed accordingly.

Thank you Kouen!

 

[Schuldrich]

Both. I have no preference on which I like more, and I'll be getting them both. To me it'll depend on which one my friends are currently playing. This genre to me is all about playing with others so my playtime will be distributed based on that.

 

[5ilver]

Neither. Might play through the d3 story once on a friends account if it's decent but I doubt it.

 

[Dr. Mongo]

Both I guess.

 

[unbreakable212]

Diablo 3 - Mainly because I recall playing Diablo 2 with fondness and i'm excited to see what happens next, though i'll probably pick up Torchlight 2 when it comes out, just to see how good it is.

 

[Qitz]

Lets see.

LAN Play, No DRM, Online Co-op, awesome classes, $20, great artstyle, no RMAH and a lot of the people who worked on Diablo 2.

Yup, Torchlight 2 it is.

Also for the people complaining about "WHY NOT BOTH?!" because that would make this a boring ass thread as everyone would just say "Both obviously."

YOU MUST BE POLARIZED, YOU MUST CHOSE ONE OPTION AND DEATH TO THOSE WHO DIDN'T!

 

[Verzin]

I am going to buy both. You can't get enough Dungeon Crawler loot filled goodness.

EDIT:...then again...DEATH TO THE INFIDELS WHO BUY TORCHLIGHT OVER DIABLO!! BURN THE HEATHENS! (naw, you guys are better than me. I hate blizzard and I plan to buy their game anyway. I'm such a tool).

Demon Hunter female - HER VOICE, APPEARANCE AND CONDUCT ARE AMAZING. I would want her as a wife.

I thought her voice acting was absolutely terrible, the fake patois really got on my nerves.

In fact the voice work throughout the game is sub-par, I'd expect better from most indie games.
