And totally with you on D3. So pretty, so pointless.coppertopperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05017777618886543890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272524169407806923.post-31634603394531253012016-02-16T20:53:46.046+01:002016-02-16T20:53:46.046+01:00Yeah I think that pretty much describe my feelings...Yeah I think that pretty much describe my feelings now. I don't look for these games, but I happen to have a couple in my backlog and they get installed eventually. I think somewhere I've lost faith in the possibility to replicate the Diablo-feeling, the same way no MMO can feel like WoW to me.Zinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14935881612077507321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272524169407806923.post-59379644858759057332016-02-15T21:12:04.895+01:002016-02-15T21:12:04.895+01:00I suppose that is faint praise.

So many other games that reach out and engage me that Torchlight 2 just doesn't earn much engagement from me now.Grimmtoothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14384688484347073287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272524169407806923.post-9978582554038416602016-02-15T20:41:13.943+01:002016-02-15T20:41:13.943+01:00"t's a decent game to kill a half hour or..."t's a decent game to kill a half hour or so while waiting for another game to update" - ouch!

It does so many things right, but there's an intangible fail in there somewhere that I can't put my fingers on.<br /><br />Since I don't really know what makes a game not a failure in this genre, I can't really say for sure that Torchlight 2 is a good game or not (hehe, I wrote "Torchwood" initially - now there's an idea!). But it plays remarkably like D2 in most ways that I remember (10 years after the fact). It's a decent game to kill a half hour or so while waiting for another game to update, etc.Grimmtoothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14384688484347073287noreply@blogger.com
