Purchase some games in my case is the resultant of these things that the purpose of this text can be safely described as: respect for the achievements of the former creators of the game, the desire to support "independent scene" so attractive price.
That's three of the four reasons that led me to buy TL2 on Steam a few months before its release. The fourth and perhaps the most important was that my curiosity was consumed every 30 person studio founded by the creators of Diablo 2 shows this time. The first part was for my taste too poor, and her cute, cartoony graphics by no means convinced me that dark, gothic scenery is already passe and time for something new. But somehow it came out that I went Torchlight. Twice.
The choice we have 4 classes - 3 of classics of the genre, namely: warrior, mage, and rogue. Their official name is Mag Emberu, Berserker and Slayer. There is also the engineer - a class that is exploited in games only recently (in the past there have been exceptions), and the development, as a steam-punk fan, I have been following with interest. Engineer I save currently Tyria, so starting with a simple premise that "what too much of a good thing" - my choice was a magician.
Fast, cartoonish intro approximating completely irrelevant story and now I wheeze. Game, and so can not avoid comparisons to Diablo, so can immediately accept it as my reference point. The game is much faster, both in terms of fighting and about the same rate at which my character moves across the boards. Instead of one big act for a few caves, dungeons, and other bonuses in Torchlight acts are divided into smaller locations, between which you can navigate using waypoints (which, by default, the first time you need to reach on foot). For each such location is a few dungeons to penetrate, also my eyes appeared a few sites that have moved me to randomly generated, very small sites, offering a lot of monsters. Such a construction of the world makes getting around it is quite chaotic, but honestly when he wrote it for the few hours that I could pull out before the body refused to cooperate and threats forced several hours napping, finding major problems in the world of Torchlight experienced.
The fight, one of the two most important elements in my opinion hack'n'slashy can serve here as an example for other artists. Monsters are attacking en masse, mass and mass die they drop close to the heart of any fan of genre loot. As it should be in h'n's. Someone on the forums, Diablo 3, on the occasion of criticism of the level of difficulty (and rather annoying) inferno, very well-used term - "icarus hard". The point is that games of this species has never been difficult, with the result that the players portraying his hero, never concerned about this, it will die. Therefore, willingly drove in the middle of dozens of enemies, just thinking about it, in order to make them as soon as possible extermination. If a player overestimated the possibility of your character, instead of the record, on the screen appeared the information about the death of his hero. And so, in short can be explained by the assumption all games to be "hard icarus" - If you transplant the amount of enemies adopted chest is dead. Of course, the best game in the title of balancing on the verge of an exaggeration. Torchlight 2 is the best example - the mechanics encourage players to balance on the edge, giving us enough enemies and rewarding continuity in their extermination. If Diablo 3 offered the same dynamics of the game, I never looked at Torchlight second
The second key element is hack'n'slashy loot, or items that will improve both the statistics of your character as well as its appearance. Torchlight 2 as a game which costs € 19 on the day of its launch, delivering on this item sensational. 395 unique models of weapons and 85 unique models of elements of armor gives a lot of room to maneuver when it comes to character designs. Loot surgeon is thick and like to get first of unique in Diablo 3 it took me something over 20 hours, so in my mage wears Torchligh a few unique items and one item set (Item from the system? Professor Honey Why does not blog about games?). Statistics on the objects they are much more interesting than a + x to all resistances, + x to the viability and + x to the main attribute of my character. There is also a built-store, where you can dress up your character, sometimes spending more money on it than on the whims of real life. Hit and a breakthrough in the genre is our animal companion, already known the first part. This time we have to choose 8 species of criminal and seasoned battle pets, of which my absolute favorite is overgrown version of the bloodthirsty French Bulldog. Pet, besides being fought by our side, it fulfills the role of a courier. If we no longer have room for new items for your character backpack bursting at the seams, we can send our companion to the city and tell him to sell all unnecessary items. Along the way, we can buy healing potions and mana restoration, teleportation scrolls and identify magic items - in practice, it looks that rather than go back from time to time for the city to sell everything you won and make potions and scrolls stock, I focus the best parts of the game. I do not know why Blizzard has not copied the idea, but I hope that Jay Wilson is about to feel sorry for himself.
TL2, unlike the first part has the web game. The fact that on the day of release, this mode was not available due to server overload for me was not even the slightest surprise. Looking at the premiere of hits like Diablo 3 and already famous error 34, or problems with the servers Guild Wars 2, I stopped even irritate and write something like "I pay, so I require $ @ #% $ #%!". Taking into account the fact that in spite of overheat servers ran smoothly for the single-player mode, keeping in reserve the option to play on the LAN, in case an unannounced visit to one of my friends, who I would ask on my knees, I pograł with him in Torchlight 2, Friday at 1 am. Character I created I can play in all three modes of play, which certainly is very convenient. Both for me and for the cheaters who willingly take advantage of the tools for creating immortal characters from the unreal stats. Tools for illegal doping, as I know the internet, will be published later this week. The team of Runic Games has promised to provide players with a tool that will detect potential cheaters. Nice of them, and how it will look like in practice? Time will tell.
Torchlight 2 is going to be also the title of the so-called high replay value - that is, life game. In addition to the world created by the developers of the game, the players in the next few weeks will be provided the tools to create their own levels. Looking at the amount of mods that created the first part, I'm very curious what will surprise me this time fashion to two. I wonder whether it is possible to create something like DoTA ...
