Preordered (and preloaded) Torchlight 2 today. This also means that I now own Torchlight one, which I started outside of the demo.
So far I'm really loving it. Having to actually target specific enemies for attacks to land reliably is a tad annoying after playing a monk in D3 for the last few months. The socketing system is interesting, giving you the option to destroy the gear and retrieve the gem or destroy the gem and retrieve the gear.
I'm playing on hard in my first runthrough and am a tad more reliant on preemptive health-potting than I'd like to be. I'm not even level 10, but I can see this game holding my interest for a long time.
It's a huge pity about the lack of MP. It would be a great game to blast through coop with a friend.
Time will tell, really. I was really excited about D3 for the first half of my first playthrough, too. I've burned out in Act 3 knowing that every item I farm at this point is just to get me strong enough to start farming inferno to be able to farm inferno better and reach Paragon 100 faster. Playing the same game 4 times just isn't as fun as it could have been.
