   I wasn’t surprised that TL1 was fun 😉

   PS Embermage must be a throw back to their firey Mythos class (the name of which I don’t recall) – good on them!

   Actually I think alot more of thier Mythos work can be found in TL2 eg passes etc

   I love Runic’s philosophy with their games – you get the complete game in the box, with no DLC needed, and all for a bargain price!

   Reminds me of the ‘good old days’ of PC gaming!

   Since Diablo 3 turned into World of Diablocraft, I’ve been hanging for a dungeon crawler and since Torchlight 1 was pretty much flawless, I have no doubt this will be just as good if not better.

   For that price you absolutely can’t go wrong, it’s a definite buy for me.

   … Am I the only one suspicious about how one of the few titles coming out worth full price is not full price?

   Is the catch dlc? Please be dlc. Wait, random dungeons pretty well kill that. Class DLC maybe? I dunno.

   This is really mind boggling.

      Honest question;

      Are you being sarcastic or did you not play Torchlight 1?

      I’m quite drunk and a huge fan of Torchlight so this is bugging me :S

      If it’s sarcastic and a dig at other games then I clumsily tip my hat to you otherwise I shall meet you on the fields at dawn.

      I’m with Chazz here. Have you not played the original? Far and away one of the greatest dungeon crawlers ever. Ever.

      It’s going to be that price for everything. The lot. All of it.

      If you aren’t familiar with Torchlight, I seriously recommend you give it a look. You’ll thank me later.

      I never finished it(I have no idea why, uni probably), but what I did played screamed quality so I’m more than willing to put my neck out and say “Awesome whole way through”. Suppose I own it to the game to do that before the new one hits, so diskhunt::get.

      It’s not sarcasm – I really am boggled they’re selling something so good so cheap. Any dig would be at the hundreads of lesser quality, mentally disabled cash cows that get churned out for four times the price.

         Thank goodness for that. Otherwise I would’ve spent my remaining days finding a way to jump through the internet to slap somebody on the other side… 😛

         I guess your suspicions are warranted, but it’s sad when a quality title gets released for a good price people automatically become dubious.

         They get it out so cheap because the digital distribution model cuts out overhead, shipping, printing, import fees etc. Plus the game itself is quite nimble and rather low-tech (can run on netbooks), so its ubiquity allows it to dilute profit margins across a far greater pool of customers.

   The first game nearly replaced Diablo II for me, but the classes/skills were just not as varied in Torchlight as they were in D2, so I’ve only played through it once. Hopefully Torchlight II will make its classes more distinct.

   “…or play single player offline, all with no further purchases.””
   Cheeky stab at Diablo3 there? They deserve one, I suppose. I’m really excited for this 😀
