Yeah but Fate didn't have Diablo music.

I bet Jeff is always worried about this possibility.

They are, but I don't know how much has been said about it recently.

The only thing XBLA version has over the PC version are leaderboards and gamepad support. Don't get me wrong, if I had to chose I'd chose m/k over gamepad but I'm of those guys who hunch over their keyboard so it's nice to sometimes sacrifice some precision for the comfort of a gamepad. "

 
Ever considered getting a larger monitor and a better chair/table setup then? Gaming or not, I'm sure you spend a good deal of time sitting there so it's probably worth it.

Likely not a problem. It runs on almost any PC.

Games involving this type of spreadsheet-style gameplay play much better on PC than on consoles.  Consoles are best suited to action games and shooters.

I got the game on Steam for a couple bucks. Why on Earth would I get the Xbox version?

Framerate is garbage, get it on steam like a normal human being.

@Mumrik:  My PC sometimes slows down when I have too many tabs open. I highly doubt it can play this game. Besides, I'd rather play with a controller than a mouse and keyboard.

This game looks in desperate need for a co-op mode.... without that, it comes across as kinda dull

the fact that it's not Co-Op is an instant deal-breaker. 
  
i played this game via Steam last year, there's nothing here that convinces me to part with my MSpoints

I completely forgot about the game FATE until watching this. I used to play that on the PC all the damn time. Might just pick this up for nostalgic purposes. Seems relatively fun, but nothing more than a few hours or for an easy game to waste some time.

I'm waiting for the PC sequel.  This looks cool, too but I've played it already on the PC.

you probably checked already but this game is tiny 197mb, you may still have space for it.

Back in the Diablo-days, I learned it's better to enchant an amulet or ring instead of an armor, just my five cents.

Sir. You are the best man on the internet right now. All I've heard is bitching about this delaying Torchlight 2 a month or so. I haven't looked through these comments to see what everyone else is saying but surprised to see this. Thank you. 
 
Also this game is hard to play going from PC to console. No clicking and I miss all my loots and magics. Just feels weird.
