Yeah! I soon as I seen mikeb2817 said he just order it, and that iv never heard of it, I went to youtube to see some game play, and it is just like Diablo in every way, except that Diablo (III) has better graphics.

The game Diablo was developed by Blizzard North and was released by Blizzard entertainment(1996). But the expansion pack entitled Diablo Hellfire(1997) was NOT created by Blizzard entertainment. Blizzard also released a playstation version(1998), followed Diablo II(2000), and Diablo III(2012).

Erich and Max Schaefer co-founded Blizzard North that created the first 2 Diablo games and their expansions. In 2003 they as well as a few others from Blizzard North left to form Flagship Studios. That venture failed and Erich and Max teamed up with Travis Baldree (creator of Fate) to form Runic Entertainment, which released the 2 Torchlight games.

I believe that all new release cost around $50, and like all the games, in time prices will fall. Torchlight reminded me of WoW, in the sence of graphics, which could be way better. IMHO, Torchlight is just a cheap knock off of Diablo.

Over here the price is generally 30 quid for a new pc game (most of them anyway) and 40 for a console game. Diablo 3 tips the scales at 45 quid in most places.

Well, I guess your looking in the wrong places. I looked at ebay for UK, and saw one for 39 without even trying. If you were a WoW player at the time of release, and did the annual pass, it was FREE.
 
I found one on Amazon for £32, however this isn't on release, prices have dropped already. Plus, who the hell still plays WoW?

My wifey, if you need to know. I figured, hell, if she going to keep playing mine as well get something out of it, right?
 
Still though i wouldnt pay full whach for a game like diablo. I think torchlight was the right amount of money for a game like that.

Only game iv ever payed full whack for was bf3 and boy do i regret it.


Only other game il be paying full price for is arma 3 :P

You know the old saying; don't regret what you did, regret what you didn't do. Life tooo short.

Experience is the worst teacher; it gives the test before presenting the lesson
 
I regret that i didnt walk away :P I payed 38 quid for bf3 :P Went to the midnight release. If i would have got it online and waited a day longer i could have had it for 30. Its not a lot of money saved, granted. But its the principle :P.

And im a cheap skate.

Dude, really? Thats the reason no one buys on release/launch day. You said it best," day longer i could have had it for 30 ", thats like a 20% discount. I never buy on release date, and, most of the time I wait till it's $20 or less.
 
Lol, on amazon it was 30 quid to preorder. But i wanted it at midnight assuming gamestation would sell it for 30 (they actually said to me it would be 30-35 quid) I got there got my copy and the till person was like 37.99 please. I was pissed to say the least :P

See Diablo 1 and 2 were created by some guys. Guess who made Torchlight 2? Those guys. Guess who made Diablo 3? Somebody else from Blizzard. Torchlight 2 looks awesome. You actually looked at it at all? I preordered forever ago and am still waiting for release.

Also kinda hard to do a knock off of your own work.

It takes more then just two guys to make a great game. And who said they didnt get fired, instead of just leaving? Those two dudes looks like they're doing Great by them selfs(Torchlight),hehe. Maybe Blizzard is better off without them.
 
I bought BF3 when EA had it on sale around Black Friday last year. I've barely played it :cool:
