Torchlight

[Forrest Gimp]

Is anyone else playing this? It's a diablo clone from some of the creators of D1&2. I've had it for a couple of days and so far, it's a lot of fun. Very addictive (as most ARPG loot fest's tend to be), graphics are only OK (they are cartoon-like, similar to WoW), music is stunning (same guy who composed Diablo is back!) but overall its a lot of fun.

It's only single-player but it's mod friendly and is selling for only $20 US on steam and direct2drive (also the offical website, I believe). If you need something to tie you over until D3, I recommend having a look into it. A 360 version may be in the works as well, but for now it's PC only...

Downloaded it last week for a bit of a time killer and it does that job admirably. Wish they'd put the slightest bit of thoughts into the side-quests though. Find [item], find [ember] and kill [named guy]...I mean come on.

Good game but you can only really play it for half an hour or so before getting bored sadly.

Downloading it right now, hopefully works as a bit of an enjoyable timekiller, not expecting too much but something like diablo is always nice.

 

[Invigoration]

Yeah it isn't too bad, I was a bit disappointed when I cottoned on that I was only ever going to go continually deeper in that one cave/dungeon... and that the layout just repeats itself over and over again.

It isn't subtle in it's ripping off of Diablo either.

Currently on sale for 9.99 on Steam

Worth it at that price, but mostly it reminded me how old Diablo is. I think games have moved on a lot since then.

Still, if you like that gameplay, you'd be mad not to get it at that price.

 

[Kerrby]

Yeah as you know Forrest I'm waiting til it goes down to $5 in the daily deals .

Looks great for an "indie game".

 

[Forrest Gimp]

It always happens Kerrby. Last day, $5 Torchlight you watch

...Are you playing as the hot cartoon woman, kerrby?

PS I had a dream that FHM were advertising an interview with you on the cover of their latest issue. I was well jealous that they didn't ask me for a interview.

I was tempted but then I felt like I would lose my masculinity .

I went to the Torchlight forums to check out some mods though and they have a skin called "Revealing Skin". Basically her **** are popping out if you want to fap.

Good time killer... played it for an hour or so... easy on the brain.... don't have to think too much... good value based on steam price

There's no 'if' about it Kerrby. Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out

This reminds me of the mid 90's Tomb Raider scandal where some creepy bastard hacked the game so you could play as Nude Lara. The magazines at the time all went crazy for her rock hard pyramid **** (can't remember if the hacker drew a muff on her or whether she had the whole Barbie doll genitals thing happening).

It was a different time back then, for instance if you typed www.zelda.com into Netscape you would get a pr0n site, BUT GET THIS! It wasn't full of Zelda hentai or fan fiction, it was just a plain old vanilla porno site of reallife men having sex with reallife women, true story. Weird!

HBK619 wont be happy that Kerrby dreams are not EXCLUSIVE to him. But he'll be pleased to know that, according to kotaku, I experience those dreams in a slightly lower resolution and frame rate than he does.
