Torchlight is INCREDIBLY FUN. Everyone should try it, whether it delays d3 or not ^^

I was looking through several release dates that had appeared in major game sites (you’ll not find these dates anymore now, since they are quite old news…) and it was written as Q4 2008. There was a lot of talk about Starcraft 2 happening on the 31 December 2008, but it didn’t came through.

Not only that, Starcraft 2 was to be released before Diablo 3 during that time (both are slated on December), but since that missed release date for the Q4 2008, there hasn’t been news about a new release date for D3 anymore.

It was stated by Vivendi who was the publisher for D3 back then, it was stated that D3 was to have a rough release date of 12/1/2008 (MM/DD/YYYY), but then again, there was lots of talks about it being false since Vivendi really does not have an idea of when it’s going to be released. I think that was the last date that D3 had.

Now that Blizzard’s with Activision, who knows what would happen?

“As many would have known, Diablo 3 was actually stated for release about December last year…”

Do you have a source for that? When they released the first video and created the site for D2 they had stated that they were investing at least another year in creating content. The plans seemed to have always been for a 2010 release.

It says something when every isometric view type game has “Diablo clone” attached to it. I’m not surprised that Blizzard would take it’s time with Diablo 3 considering the high expectations of the fans. Developers often will look arround at what people are playing, what they like about those games. Then they look at their own game and sometimes decide to start from scratch. Did Torchlight contribute to the delay of Diablo 3? Who knows. On a side note, I am one of the people who have played Nox and Diablo 2 and the only thing that Nox shared with Diablo was it’s isometric view type of playing. When Diablo 3 comes out we might say something similar about it and Torchlight.

Torchlight is a Diablo clone considering it was created with two of the original Diablo developers on board.
And for 20 bucks, it does what it needs to do. You click things, they die, you have fun doing it.

- Torchlight isnt MMO.
- Torchlight isnt a Diablo clone.
- Torchlight is nowhere near Diablo in gameplay quality
- Torchlight is basically a pretty garbage heap. Correction, a pretty garbage heap with good music.

Its cheap, boring, and shallow. People who say its awesome are either stupid fanboys, or just started playing, or wanted the editor. The actual game is pretty bad.
