Now I am REALLY sad.. I wanted this by the 25th .. so I could play it on MY birthday. Game looks to be a blast and exactly what I am looking for right now.

Looking forward to Torchlight a lot! The classes look quite interesting and the Alchemist seems cool. Can’t wait for the game to come out!

The thing is, I’m felling quite the opposite. After we got region locked from the Mythos beta, me and my friend tried Titan Quest. In my opinion, Titan Quest entirely missed what made Diablo-like action rpg’s fun. The combat was slow, the skills were either weak, had large cooldowns or both, and I thought the colour palette was horribly boring. Mythos was the first action rpg that I found more fun than Diablo 2. I can’t wait for Torchlight.

Well.. The trick to make this game better is a multiplayer campaing / level that is coop and of EPIC AWEOSOME dificulty, so no one can finish it. We know Diablo3 will be slighty better than this one, but will not include such coop awesomnes. Please Torchlilght, have that.

Those are some fine opinions. I also quite enjoy Titan Quest.
addressing the 3 classes though, lets remember this title is not going to run you $50. So the 3 characters will be fine for a title that is being priced quite a bit lower. And watching the fluidity of the combat gets me all excited.

Now my only problem is what class can I possibly play first? They all hold such awesome potential.

Here’s the thing. If you’re going single-player only, I’m not a huge fan of randomly generated dungeons. I think you end up with a lot of repetitive, uninspiring backgrounds — which, honestly, are already boring me in these preview videos.

Call me a Titan Quest fanboy, but I loved the intricately designed levels and lovely sets. Plus, you could co-op the game with friends/random strangers.

Finally, only 3 classes — and I’m not sure I’m seeing enough differentiation between the play styles. I hate being a negative nancy, esp for a small developer product that I haven’t played yet, but I’m wondering why I should just go re-play Titan Quest Immortal Throne instead of this.

This is the methadone to Diablo 3′s heroin.

Very nice. It’s no longer guaranteed that I’m going to start with the Vanquisher. It is still guaranteed that I purchase this on its release day.

Almost forgot about this interesting Diablo-esque game. Too much of the happy graphics for my taste though, but I’ll keep an eye on this one.

The lack of multiplayer is a real bummer, but at the pricepoint, I can forgive them. Plus I love to support me some developers!
