Popular Post Timotheus 414 Posted June 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2020 Basically a link dump but Torchlight 3 Early Access is available via Steam. I finished the currently available storyline of Last Epoch just yesterday, and was about to head back into Sacred 1 and/or 2 so this comes at a really unfortunate time for me 2 Link to comment

Pevil I actually remember my first attempt with this game playing with a few people from the SIF when we were on the servers... the game just dropped me with its online play marvelous sounds back then gogo Link to comment
Timotheus 414 Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 I actually never played the games online. Just the storyline for me 1 Link to comment
gogoblender 3,042 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 lol, until i saw that trailer from this third installment, didnt connect for me there was a story gogo Link to comment
Flix 5,116 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I enjoyed both TL1 and TL2, though I only played through the campaign for each one once. I didn't feel there was a whole lot of replay value. I'd describe the games as solid but not addictive in the way of some other ARPG's. I have no doubt I'll be picking up TL3 at some point though.

Timotheus 414 Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 (edited) Very true though @Flix I might just pick this one up when it goes on sale. Still have to look into it, really. There are still too many games I haven't played on my Steam account... Plus I still have the Nathan Drake series somewhere which I *also* haven't touched yet.

Schot 407 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Oh shiny. Always loved Torchlight art and mechanics. 1 Link to comment
pevil 14 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Same as Tim, only ever done the story. I tried it long after Sacred online was down and out so never even considered MP! 1 Link to comment
Perdition 10 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I played the first two once each, but never felt the need to go back to either. I preferred the debut. I did buy the 3rd one though, hopefully it'll be better. It has a long way to go though, judging from what I've seen in early access though. Link to comment
Perdition 10 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 New patch: https://steamcommunity.com/games/1030210/announcements/detail/2769103877807447138 I think I'll reinstall the game and give it a whirl. They did a character wipe due to some major changes. I don't think I'll get too invested though because there will be another wipe on release. 1 Link to comment
Timotheus 414 Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share Posted August 17, 2020 I'm very interested in your experience Perdition could you elaborate what the main differences between the earlier games and this new installment are? Link to comment
chattius 2,512 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Sacred3, Diablo3, Torchlight3 aller guten Dinge sind drei “Of all good things there are three” But that only means that the first two were good and so they tried a third, far less good but hopefully preventing an even worse 4.

Perdition 10 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 #3 is very streamlined/simplified compared to the first 2 (and those two weren't exactly Path of Exile). Stats are gone, skilltrees are a lot smaller, etc. On the plus side, the game is still fun. Its just really simple. I have mixed feelings on what they did to the fame system. In the first 2, leveling fame made the game more fun in between leveling (don't underestimate how much more fun it adds getting extra skillpoints dropped here and there). Now with each fame level, you get a random reward - can be crafting ingredients, items, etc. Its not bad or anything, I just prefer the old system. Relics is just another skill-tree now. The Legendarium gives you 3 extra skills from breaking down legendary items. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be that many legendaries in the game compared to say... Grim Dawn. Now they said they're going to add more content post-release, but if the prospect of a very simple/streamlined action RPG seems unappealing, I'd probably give it a miss. Its still fun and I don't really regret dropping money on it though. Its a good break from some of the more complicated ARPGs out there. Bear in mind I avoided Diablo 3. 1 Link to comment
