MS might rush in and publish the console version since TL1 was successful on xbl

Letros4389d ago

TL2 is too big to fit on XBLA, so they'd have to make it a full retail game.

sikapwach4389d ago

Oh that's great info. I wonder if they would put it on disc at like 20 or 30 bucks like Plants versus Zombies and Bejeweled have done.

ddelella4389d ago

They just update the limit for XBLA games size. The game should fit. If not they could go to the Games-on-Demand section for the right price.

GamingPerson4389d ago (Edited 4389d ago )

Getting this day 1 on steam! It's built for modding! yes.
Anybody know when "Lineage Eternal" comes out?
I want to play it more than anything!

I love the fact that you can buy 4 copies of this game for the same price as D3 AND you get mod support. I just wonder how similar the game's structure is compared to the first, i.e. floors or more of an adventure in different areas...

sikapwach4389d ago

agreed, I don't see how anyone could say that D3 will be 3 times better than torchlight....but I am super interested to see how the real money auction house works

Drekken4389d ago

D3 will be the mother load of PC games for my foreseeable future. Torchlight isn't even on my radar since D3 is in a couple weeks.

KeiserSosay47884389d ago

@Drekken

Idk, man...I've been in the beta since last year and while it's a good game you can tell that it's been, arguably, over-simplified. I found it interesting also that most, I believe, of the team that made D1/D2/LOD were the same people who were fired from Blizzavision who citedD3 wasn't looking how the company had wanted it to. From what I've learned and experienced so far, it seems as if Torchlight 2 is what Diablo 3 was supposed to be except 20 dollars.

allyc4t4389d ago

I bought T2 and got T1 for free. Never played it before, but it's an awesome Diablo type game. T2 should will be awesome in the summer when I'm bored of Diablo 3.

HacSawJimThugin4389d ago

What the hell is the author talking about when he says "maybe it didn't sale well on other platforms"?

Torchlight holds the record for the biggest sale day ever on XBLA even though it was already available for Mac/...an xbl version is almost a certainty.

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.

VenomUK675d ago

@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?! 🤣

crazyCoconuts675d ago

It's pretty impressive actually.

darthv72675d ago (Edited 675d ago )

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.

RedDevils675d ago

That how professional troll at their best work.

ChasterMies675d ago

Why continues reporting this? Who is left that is still interested in Games with Gold?

crazyCoconuts675d ago

I guess if I paid $5/month for this crap I'd still want to know what I got...

Eidolon675d ago

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.

itsmebryan675d ago

They should get rid of games w gold. With Gamepass I have too many better games to even think about GWG.

crazyCoconuts675d ago

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

Crows90674d ago (Edited 674d ago )

It's also part of gamepass ultimate. It's good to see since it directly competes with ps extra

northpaws675d ago

This is beyond bad... kinda shitty move to force all their subscribers to get gamepass.

VersusDMC675d ago

Technically forcing people to move to Gamepass Ultimate. Regular gamepass doesn't include Gold.

Silly gameAr675d ago

I guess that's that value that everyone keeps talking about.

KillBill674d ago

Technically you aren't forced to buy anything. And Xbox Live gold can be bought separately. https://www.xbox.com/en-US/...

KillBill674d ago

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/...

Silly gameAr674d ago (Edited 674d ago )

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.

KillBill674d ago

@silly - what? Point is that gold can be had WITHOUT game pass. simple as that. Nothing forcing you to buy game pass.

gamer9674d ago

@ 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.

The Best Dungeon Crawlers Not Named Diablo

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."
