If so, what do you plan on doing in it? What class do you want to play? Are you interested in the upcoming MMO version?
Personally I'm interested in the Destroyer, and I'm somewhat interested in the MMO half, but I'll need to see what that entails as far as the micro-transactions and game play go.
EDIT: Pre-ordered it moments ago, 6:00 can't come fast enough!

Are You Going to Play Torchlight?
I'm pretty interested in it, but there are other games right now that require my money's undivided attention.
" I'm pretty interested in it, but there are other games right now that require my money's undivided attention. "I hear that. It's a pretty rough time of year of more obscure games like this one to be coming out. Though I definitely think it's price point helps it's chances.
Nah man. Looks like WoW graphics and that goddamn shitty art style in an overhead perspective. WoW came out 5 years ago. Well they aren't that bad exactly, but they are damn close. I'm just sayin' if they didn't put much time into the graphics or story or any "extra" elements of the game, then I'm willing to bet the core is gonna blow as well. And I'm gonna bet the MMO is gonna be some crappy WoW clone like Runes of Magic or something.
Not to sound negative or anything...
Only thing that brought it up to the top of my list, was that it can probably run pretty well on my garbage laptop. ^_^" The Quick Look was interesting but this is nowhere near the top of my list. I have Borderlands, Brutal Legend, Forza 3 and Modern Warfare 2 to pick up first. :D "
@FunExplosions: I see where you're coming from. I guess it just better appeals to a gamer like myself who just wants a time waster, a simple hack n' slash, loot that makes me look awesome, and low system requirements. It appears to fit perfectly to what I'm looking for as a game I can just kind of trod through and enjoy when I'm bored.
" @RHCPfan24 said:Yeah that is a good reason. I am upgrading my computer this winter so maybe I can actually start running competent computer games again? This seems like one that would work on my current POS." The Quick Look was interesting but this is nowhere near the top of my list.

" Nope, because it doesn't have co-op. That's like, half the appeal of these types of games. "Dude, check out this sweet sword I got!" etc., etc. That being said, I'm super bummed that it has no multi-player, because otherwise it looks fantastic. "So you could be stoked for the MMO version thats coming?
" @End_Boss said:I could be, except that version is at least eight months down the line, at which point my interest in this game will have very likely evaporated."

" I really like both overhead perspective AND things that will run on my laptop, so yes I might get this. I will likely play Destroyer, and plan on running around like a dumbass and hitting things with a sword. "I do that in real life, only the sword is fake and people won't call me Destroyer, no matter how much I ask. :(
Yeah, I'll be playing it and have already pre-purchased it on Steam. I'll probably roll either a Rogue Vanquisher or a Battle and/or Arcane Alchemist (maybe I'll mix skilltrees -- depends on how many skill points I receive per level up) . Judging from this trailer, the Destroyer has an extremely bland skillset in comparison to the other classes, and I play Warrior-types far too often as it is, so it's time for something different. Just check out the Vanquisher and Alchemist trailers, they have some sweet looking skills.
As for the "MMO" adaptation... Not really interested in it unless it plays like Guild Wars or Dungeon Runners (and I did get that impression from what they've been saying about it). I'm not interested in an actual MMO.
@DanielJW: I honestly find that a LOT of games I play on PC are games that I'd normally never try out but I only try them just cause they run on my mediocre laptop. Luckily...through this method I've found games like Audiosurf :D
@End_Boss: I have a lot of friends who would probably love this game....the only problem is, I'd much rather be able to play the game with them.
I'll try out the demo though that apparently is coming as well. Steam has it for 17.99 which is pretty tempting even with the boat load of games coming out now.
Nah, just another lame attempt at a game style/formula that's been done to death. Looks small and very uninteresting. Poorly conceived, poorly crafted, and completely lacks vision.
They are the creators of Diablo?... Seriously? They spent a year on that, and all they did was recreate a really bad version of something they did 10 years ago. Also, apparently they are going to create more and turn it into a MMO? Yeah, sounds like someone is milking the WoW crowd, yet again.
This game offers no real innovation to the genre, they helped start. As a old Diablo fan, its pretty sad to see such a awful game. Being made by them. Either they are stuck in the past, which I doubt or they are just getting ready to launch another WoW clone. That will fail... Like they all do.
Which is a really bright idea, in itself. Considering the fact that Starcraft 2, and Diablo 3 are due out in the not to distant future. PLUS, another MMO-RPG by blizzard, based in a completely new universe. (dev confirmed)
Sorry, sorry... I'm just a little peeved that such great guys could spend a year on a game. That brings nothing real to the table. It's just more of the same old. But all about money.
IMO, if they really had any heart for the genre. It would show a lot more. It would even be advertised. They would be showing off their new systems, new additions, and their new designs. But I see none of that.
SO have fun.
I preordered about a week ago. I think I may go for the female character. I tend to stay away from the brutes as I don't find them very interesting. I don't care so much about the MMO version although I would like some co-op in this game. I was pretty excited before, but, having seen the quick look, I'm really anxious to try it! I just don't know when I will have the time. I'm sure I will at least install it tonight, but Borderlands is in the process of eating my life at the moment.
Does anyone know how long this game is?
Yes I am going to play it. I need a game I can jump into any time and play forever. hope they will ad co-op
Edit: Just bought it :P
i played the demo tonight for an hour and then it ended or i got to the end i will be buying this tomorrow i only wish there was another class or 2
Idk. It looks alright but the lack of online play kinda kills it for me. Also, I was in the Alpha for that Mythos game and all it made me wanna do was go back play Diablo 2 again. Hell, just talkin about this makes me want to play Diablo 2 again. Damn 1.13 patch needs to come out already...
I bought it. I was in the Mythos beta and played a good deal of it until it went down and it was a really great product. This is basically Mythos but better. The design is better, the pets are great, this is the best 20$ you can spend to get something while waiting for diablo 3.
