They should put out torchlight 2 quickly, so it won't be competing with diablo 3. They can take their time, since D3 is not coming this year. Is D3 not coming out this year confirmed officially?
I'd rather have both games take their times to be good to released. However, don't take forever and fail like Duke Nukem Forever (DNF). |

Guess that should be a hint that Steam isn't the magical sales powerhouse that people seem to think it is (for no fucking reason at all). "Oh, game X is in the top 10 on Steam charts! It must be selling very well!"
You mean considering it was on sale for $3 the other day on Steam, and then they announce today it hit a million?
A million is still pretty good for an indie title. That it is... But when I saw the headline, the first thing, that (sadly) popped into my head was... Didn't Minecraft just announce 10 mil signups?
-Alamar
Well Minecraft presently has sold 2,732,935 and in my opinion it has definitely had more than 3 times the exposure and hype of Torchlight. So through that (probably ridiculous) rationalization I think a million sounds about right. |

Only 1 million and just now? Kind of surprising really. I thought this game was a run-away hit.
I was a little surprised, too. While I'm not sure how much of that was console sales, it apparently was a hit on the 360 .
I figured, with several steam sales under it's belt, they would have sold a million on the PC alone.

Of course TL2 is going to be better, its got 6 player Coop and local LAN to play Coop too. how can that not be better?
Lack of multiplayer wasn't the first games biggest problem. It needed more mob variety, more environmental designs, better models for weapons and armor, less generic story(any story at all really would be better) and meaningful loot instead of the random algorithm that made most of it dull and boring. It was a good first effort from a small studio but not really a Diablo competitor. I hope TL2 focuses on any of those gameplay elements first instead of just trying to do multiplayer. |

It was fun to play once but lacked the endless replay value of the Diablo games. Hopefully multiplayer will change that - Diablo on a LAN is still some of best fun I've had with gaming.
Torchlight 2 absolutely, positively, must be released in a playable state before Diablo 3. |

Currently I'd only consider picking TL2 somewhat later during a sale, if D3 should be delayed even further and if friends can confirm me that TL2 is indeed better.

As I said, it surely lacked the multiplayer part, but I'm not sure if this alone was, or will be, everything that it needed to be a good game.
At least it surely won't be worse than TL1.  |

It was originally due out this past spring. Was delayed to August I believe.
I think it's delayed to September or October. Or I might be thinking of Trine 2. One of those is delayed definitely.
As for Torchlight, 1 million sales is pretty good. It would be nice to have more stats about the game sales... what percentages of sales were on which platform, retail v/s digital sales, average price paid per platform etc. |

I can't say I have regrets but after a few hours in, I was not enjoying it enough to invest more time. I would prefer play DII again for another run.  |

I just picked it up for like $3 the other day from a Steam sale, it was like 80% or 85% off and later went to 50% off. I'll try it this weekend.
I recall trying the demo some time ago and thought it was interesting but didn't get around to playing it.
I figure for $3 I can't go wrong. Even if I flat-out hate it, $3 is nothing. It's like renting a movie you wound up not liking.

| Bad grammar. Should be "Torchlight Sells a Million." Torchlight is singular, not plural. |

I'm not saying they should rush it out, but they should definitely make it a goal to be out before diablo 3 to maximize sales. |

| Congrats! I'm glad to hear it, I love it when indie devs do well on games, especially ones that are on PC (even if they are on other platforms too). They should put out torchlight 2 quickly, so it won't be competing with diablo 3. |
