I’ll admit I was a bit jealous of PC gamers when Torchlight originally released in late 2009. Hack-and-slash dungeon crawlers have always been something of an interest for me since the original Diablo but it’s a difficult genre to keep up with without a decent gaming rig. Thankfully Runic Games brought Torchlight to Xbox Live Arcade, and us console gamers no longer have to miss out on this gem of a game.
Admittedly, Torchlight doesn’t do much to push the genre forward. It is, however, an experience which has been polished to a sterling shine. The usual formula applies: a lone adventurer shows up in town and gets sucked into whatever catostrophic issue its inhabitants are experiencing. Solving their problem requires descent into a deep, sprawling labyrinth filled with aggressive and deadly monsters. It is also stuffed with ancient weapons and powerful pieces of armor.
Following the official release of the RTX Remix runtime, modders have renewed their efforts to remaster classic PC games like Torchlight.
It’s time to announce the July Games with Gold lineup! On the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, capture photos of the wondrous Beasts of Maravilla Island, and survive being stranded on a desolate moon base in Relicta. And for our classic lineup via Backward Compatibility, build and ride rollercoasters in Thrillville: Off the Rails, […]
Yawn.... I will say torchlight is fun, but i have that on my steamdeck. Relicta is also on PS+ Extra and looks like it would make a cool VR game. No PSVR support though.
@Darthv72 How did you shift this story about the Xbox Games with Gold lineup into a negative about PSVR not supporting one of the games?! 🤣
Hmm... that is funny. I see it more as a negative against XB. Like other games on both, some offer a VR mode for PS and this looked like it should be one of them. Then again it doesnt even offer VR for PC so... ehh.
Why continues reporting this? Who is left that is still interested in Games with Gold?
I guess if I paid $5/month for this crap I'd still want to know what I got...
Yeah, be interesting to know. I hardly care because of Game Pass now, still don't mind seeing what we get, but I've come to terms that it's mostly going to be nothing I'll play if have GP.
They should get rid of games w gold. With Gamepass I have too many better games to even think about GWG.
So they've managed to decrease the value you get each month without decreasing revenue by making the games crappier. If they still charged $5/month without giving you ANY games at all, it would open them up to criticism and direct comparisons to PS+ without any way to subjectively spin the message
It's also part of gamepass ultimate. It's good to see since it directly competes with ps extra
This is beyond bad... kinda shitty move to force all their subscribers to get gamepass.
Technically forcing people to move to Gamepass Ultimate. Regular gamepass doesn't include Gold.
Technically you aren't forced to buy anything. And Xbox Live gold can be bought separately. https://www.xbox.com/en-US/...
What are you talking about you can still buy Xbox Live Gold on its own if you want to. You guys need to stop having conversations about Xbox if you know nothing about it. https://www.xbox.com/en-US/...
I guess the comments flew right over your head, huh? If GP was such a good value, gold would come with game pass, without having to get the more expensive opinion.
@silly - what? Point is that gold can be had WITHOUT game pass. simple as that. Nothing forcing you to buy game pass.
@ Silly, not sure what you're trying to say, you want game pass ultimate for the price of xbox live gold? That's ridiculous the amount of full price day 1 games you get included in game pass - you don't get that for cheap. Nobody is forced to get game pass, if the value is there you subscribe. if there's a drought in games you unsubscribe like i just did a month ago. Will likely get back on game pass this fall/holiday and into 2023 when the games are flooding in.
From Xfire: "The words "dungeon crawler" are defined as a genre of role-playing games wherein "heroes navigate a labyrinth environment, battling various monsters, avoiding traps, solving puzzles, and looting any treasure they may find."
Now, if you, just like every other gamer, thought immediately of any of the Diablo games when you read that, you're probably not alone.
The thing is, the Diablo franchise has been synonymous with dungeon crawlers since 1997. But while the Diablo titles have long been considered the most popular dungeon crawlers, they're far from the only ones that are worth playing."
Another great Torchlight review. I hope this game sells well so we have a better chance of seeing Torchlight 2 on XBLA.
Jealous???
What, you don't own a PC?
So how did you type that review???
Perhaps he handwrote it and faxed it to the editor...
I never said I didn't have a PC in the review. I'll capitalize the important part of the sentence for you:
"Hack-and-slash dungeon crawlers have always been something of an interest for me since the original Diablo but it’s a difficult genre to keep up with WITHOUT A DECENT GAMING RIG."
Hope that helps :)
Right; I mean, I have several PCs, but only one of them can play Minecraft.
Think about that.
