The actual hacking and slashing is fun, and executed better than in any of the others, but the rest of it.ehhh, the devs tried hard to make it Different - the money (there is none! yay! good luck identifying your items now that you can't buy the friggin scrolls), the gems-are-skills-with-levels-and-synergies system, and that fucking passive skill tree that's so massive it's only good for inducing "WTF" reactions from your friends, otherwise cripples decision-making by being overwhelming and unwieldy. It also has the best atmosphere of any of the mentioned. Diablo 1 does some things better than its sequel, while the same couldn't be said for Torchlight, so if you're going to pick one, go with Diablo.
Torchlight 2 vs diablo 3 series#
The firsts in the respective series are both good, but sort of shallow. Perhaps it's just the fact I've played D2 so much that I can't even stand to look at it anymore.
Of those, the only one I wouldn't bother with is Dungeon Siege. I've only played Diablo 1 & 2, Torchlight 1 & 2, Dungeon Siege, and Path of Exile. Maybe it is the Diablo successor I've been waiting for since 1996. The videos reminded me of the original Diablo: an action-roguelike, random dungeon crawling, darkness, horror themes. I just ordered the Wii game Baroque a few days ago. Considering the lack of random maps, maybe Titan Quest doesn't belong in this discussion at all. So very repetitive, even by the standards of this genre. No narrow corridors, no small rooms, no narrow doorways, always a wide open space to fight. Torchlight I has very boring environments.ĭespite lack of random/procedural generation, Titan Quest also has very boring and unrealistic environments. Torchlight II has fun mechanics but incoherent and confusing story. But in many ways it set many standards of the genre and it is unsurpassed in many ways. PSO is best but single player is kinda boring and even split screen multiplayer improves it a lot.ĭiablo II lacks the horror and atmosphere of the original. I haven't played tthe rest so I can't rank them. PSO Episode I & II > Diablo > Diablo 2 > Torchlight 2 > Titan Quest: AE > Torchlight.
Let alone it is a tiny poop, that can never hope to hold a candle to either 1 or 2, plagued by consolitis and oversimplified, with lack of character customization, especially in stats and gameplay elements (that previous titles had). The current "accident" named diablo 3, is an always online DRM shit, it had real money auction house for a long time, a feature that Blizzard abused to legally fleece the playerbase off their money with thin air (in-game items) in exchange (and even if they removed it, they already leeched lots of green already), resembles an MMO and has crappy artwork and style, nowhere reminding the old diablo series in anything at all. The original, pre-alpha stage of it from Blizzard North, before Blizzard disbanded them, was destroyed by Blizzard itself. Finally, Diablo 3? There is no such thing as diablo 3. I would prefer over it Grim Dawn and Victor Vran any day of the week. I don't like its style and artwork and i am not curious enough to try it out. Van Helsing i never played and i don't intend to. Now, i will also start 2, but i don't have my hopes too high, after 1. Motion lag, choppy movement, clunky responses from controls and lack of complexity (gameplay-wise), at least in 1 that i just finished for my first time, didn't excite me too much, to be honest. Well, some people were in diablo team, it tries to resemble some things from diablo, but honestly, it is not that good in execution. In older times, Titan Quest was heralded as the single BEST diablo clone ever.įourth i put Torchlight. Third place for me is Titan Quest together with Grim Dawn, they are from same people and very similar in style and all. Personally, i put second place Victor Vran, because it is a very nice game, innovative, something both new and enjoyable that will get you rocking. Second place is in constant dispute between Torchlight series and Titan Quest/Grim Dawn. Too bad, since it has a Bard, a Barbarian, a Monk, new quests, some gameplay enhancements, a ton of new items, 2 entire new areas that were also implemented in 2 from Blizzard itself and an interesting new boss. It was never released after Sierra closed down and Blizzard never included it in the Battle Chest (or any other collections). You will have an extra hard time finding Hellfire, though, the one and only legit, official expansion for Diablo 1, made by (now defunct) Sierra. They are very similar and 2 is an overhaul and an overall improvement, over 1. Due to history and nostalgia, i would also squeeze Diablo 1 + Hellfire here, in this tier, together with 2.
Diablo 2 + LOD is the original, the king, the grandfather and the best (at least of this bunch).
