Some more thoughts :
- Fucking AWESOME game. Seriously, if you even marginally liked Diablo, you will LOVE this.
- Your pet can take crappy loot and run back to town to sell it for you!!!
(little yellow button to the top right of your pet's icon.)
- Your pet can SUMMON monsters for you!!!
- This game drops absolute fucking semi-trucks full of loot on you. My character's already decked out in rares, and he's level 9! NINE!
- Those GIANT spiders give me the fucking creeps... I hate spiders.
- It's 20 bucks!
A few minor downsides though :
- Enemies can clip through each other without problem, which means that sometimes you'll wade in somewhere and suddenly you start getting 800 damage a second, because three bosses and 12 minions are right on top of one another. Then when you're attacking, it seems to delight in staggering your attacks. That kinda sucks. I'm getting around it by now by doing AoE attacks, but still, it sucks.
- It's a bit too "click and pray" as a berserker, imo, because most monsters will run away again, then you misclick and you start running... grrr...
- Similarly, in Diablo 2, if you held shift plus attack, and you were sorta aimed in the proper direction, you'd hit the monsters that were there. Torchlight does NOT seem to do that, which is very aggravating. My swords will be swinging through monsters and never connect.
Still, it's a fucking awesome game. 2.15am and I DON'T WANT TO STOP PLAYING!
Again, I wasn't going to buy it, great demo and great feedback sold it for me. To all devs and publishers who insist on treating potential customers as pirates : Go fucking fuck yourselves.
Treat your customers like Runic Games does, and hey look, you sell extra copies!
