That looks pretty promising. I actually wasn't all that into the first one, because I didn't feel the story was that great and the playable characters were not interesting to me. I hold out hope that this one will be better in those ways.

The first one was seriously lacking story, but to be honest, I didn't know that anyone played hack-and-slash ARPGs for the story. I thought we all just played for the loot!

On the bright side, Runic did say that they actually hired a story writer for the second to actually have some sort of cohesive narrative in the game - but don't expect too much from that department.

Personally, I think torchlight is a great game with a replay value. Heck, I played it last night working on finally beating it with all the characters on Very Hard Hardcore mode. If you are into this genre, its a great game.

Don't get me wrong jakethesnake, I thought it was an okay game and a great first effort, but I just thought it could use some spit and polish. I'm a big fan of the ARPG genre, but I do enjoy a good and engrossing story in them. I think that's why Diablo 1/2 did so well. It had a equal parts of everything and it worked.

Story and gameplay are both equally important to me and always have been.

I look forward to playing Torchlight 2 and seeing how they have evolved their idea.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9211h ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
