I've been writing in that the brands are all shit. It's SOLVEmedia's way of making extra money by getting people to complete a mini survey of opinions on certain companies I think. It's just like how CAPTCHA uses it's service to have people translate difficult words from scans and stuff. It's a legit way of making money but SOLVEmedia's method doesn't accommodate for stopping actual spammers like CAPTCHA does.Scow2 said:
OT: Diablo 3, easily. I played the Torchlight demo recently and it was decent. I didn't dislike it but I wasn't interested in it or the story it offered. Diablo 3, on the other hand, looks awesome and is apparently one of the best games. As soon as I can I intend to play 1 and 2 followed by 3. The DRM doesn't bother me because I don't have a tendency to complain about choices I made pertaining to my broadband subscription.
and yet, when it asked me to describe the brand 'honda' it wouldnt accept 'asimo'Scow2 said:
( a honda product )
i think it's a bit random and broken.
perhaps i should try 'motive innovative technology company'
next time, because that would fit in the box right..
anyhoo, i vote torchlight 2 and i will buy it as soon as i get my paycheck in i was planning to do so for a whilke since it appeared on steam
blizzard wont get a look in from me untill they release the allways on internet requirement
there are times my internet breaks, there are times i dont want to / dont have the time to
'enjoy the game to it's fullest with co-op' as blizzard puts it
however:
there is, it's called HamachithePyro_13 said:Both, duh! Their aren't enough Diablo-like games.
Though it'll be diablo first, since it comes out first.

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!)Zyst said:The only point I concede to Torchlight over Diablo is the mods, I loved me some fucking modsFelixG said:Torchlight 2 is like what Diablo 3 would be if it was, you know, any goodRandom Fella said:
Captcha: top ten
works wonders. and it's free my friends use it all the time to create tunnels for lan games
also, The lower pricepoint means i can buy an extra game ( maby two if steam or an online retailer has a sale ) ontop of anything blizzard can offer and that's no small thing.
and the 'im a rich C888' argument dosent hold water because if you understood how money works you'd realise everything has an entertainment value
unless you're rich enough to buy the plannet and anti ageing technology to enjoy it all,
( protip, you arent )
then price and entertainment value has some meaning to you, however small you might feel it
lastly i dont like the pay for advangate theme in blizzard's diablo auction system
it just seems wrong.
if you have to farm for 200 hours to collect somehting you have an attatchment and a sense of achievement from getting it, if you paid $10 for it you'll quickly tire of it, become an elitest jerk and ask when blizzard is releasing new content and claim everyone else are newbs because you bought up the economy
it's not good for you, it's not good for the economy all it's good for is blizzard's allready swollen bank ballance
( they have enough money to declare blizz hq a private neuclear nation allready )
No, really.
when you weigh up the pros and cons i really cannot see a single reason to buy d3
unless you're allready heavilly invested in the series
which i get, i really do but it's still a poor purchasing decision
now, if you REALLY want to kick up the value notch a few degrees..
path of exile is launching free to play and has some seriously interesting talent builds for those excessively in love with spreadsheets and pvp combat
i just started the beta myself, so i cant comment too much yet but it looks promising however it lacks the graphical fidelity of tl2 or D3.
It once asked me to describe "Red Bull", I put "Toro Rosso" and it wouldn't accept itThe Lugz said:
Well lets look at it like this.
Diablo 3: Will encourage theft of items which in turn will be used to be a real-money item shop which will be overpriced. Shitty DRM and overall being just plain old Diablo.
Torchlight 2: Diablo 3 without all of the bullshit item shop shittiness. Say what you want, but this ones selling point is the fact that Modding is allowed, while Diablo 3 doesn't.

You know Diablo 2 vs Torchlight 2 aside I find these poll results pretty impressive for Torchlight 2, if you'd of asked me what the % would of been to D3 vs TL2 I'd not not had nearly such a close spread on the percentages. it gives me hope for the gaming community it really does.
I actually kind of expected them to be a bit more in favor of TL2.synobal said:
The first one was a very nice, very well executed game, that was priced very competetivly and came out comparatively recently.
On the other hand, quite a few people were a bit disappointed with how the Diablo 3 beta turned out and Diablo 2 is too old to evoke strong feelings in most people anymore.
