[Elthurien]

You should counter these adds by creating Torchlight 2 adds and spam the Torchlight 2 forums with Torchlight 2 adds.

Will the graphics be improved over TL 1?

Will the graphics be improved over TL 1?

I believe that question is answered in other wording, but the graphical engine has been somewhat upgraded and improved over the first one, with slightly higher polygon count.

i mean not the date of release but the date of announce of release date.

i liked TL1 and i eager 2 continue playn' yr next product TL2 coz its good as ive already seen on youtube.

[Webbstre]

The date that the release date will be announced has yet to be announced.

Haha, don't worry, without them the developers would starve. The devs feed on the souls of spam bots.

I have a soul?

You may be a bot, Extra Spice, but I haven't seen you spamming WoW gold lately.

Aren't you conserned that The new game that we all are waiting for in which you fight dragons will take your potential clients ?

That's been answered countless times on the forums, "No, they just want to release a game that is as bug free as possible." And, "we aren't competing with AAA titles." First day sales are secondary. Which is the case with most "Independent titles".

Think of Torchlight 2 as being a featherweight, and Skyrim a heavyweight. They rarely go against each other unless its the fake WWE.

Yea, but people tend to like Heavyweight more....

[Webbstre]

dahakra, see the section about Diablo 3 and replace every instance of "Diablo 3" with "Skyrim" or the game of your choice. It's really all the same issue.

A good game is a good game, if you like Skyrim good for you. Like TL2? Good for you. Dislike Tl2? Good for you. No one cares, buy the game you want and leave the game you don't want alone, there's no need for you to get on the forums for another game to go "you guys shaking in your boots yet cause this game is TOTALLY GONNA ANNIHILATE YOU?!". It's quite pointless and offensive.

My my, aren't You getting a little personal about this ? I never said anything about Skyrim annihilating TL2, and i will buy both games. I have no idea why You took my post as an "attack". I just thought it would be a bad move to release TL2, "soon" after Skyrim. That's probably not my problem, But i kinda wanted to put it out here.

To the contrary,
People statistically like Featherweights more because they tend to strike more and are more uptempo. Only the minority enjoy the art of boxing/kickboxing or MMA, most people watch it for the punching/kicking, not the takedowns, ground game, Clinch or maneuvering. Heavyweights may be more popular, but people rather watch people that punch/kick more.

Funny thing this also applies to games. Most don't realize it, but they'd rather play a game by the little guy because of their energy over a popular big guy because the big guy's routine is pretty much predictable and the match quickly draws to a snails pace. Basically big guys are safe.

We get a lot of trolling along those lines around here. Even if you aren't trolling (and I didn't think you were), there's already a half dozen locked threads out there on the exact same topic.

[amb2010]

I wasn't treating it like a personal attack in any way and if it came off that way I certainly didn't intend it to. I just meant that it's an offensive thing to do regardless of your intentions. Telling a company their game is crap compared to what will be releasing near it is offensive regardless of your intentions and is not the proper way to go about things, that's all I was saying. There are numerous threads on here about this subject for both D3 and Skyrim. People have already brought out their "good" intentions of informing Runic that a release near them is bad so there is no need for you to bring yours forth.
