32 Hours later and I'm still loving torchlight, however I've my fun of torchlight on the shelf just for the next few weeks while I finish Dragon Age...then back to gibbing goblins with torchlight.

They are both vector graphics and Monsters did not invent that style buddy...it is vector flash style...now the music on the other hand you can directly compare it to PIxelJunk monsters...very similar.

Similar gameplay....what the balls, did you even fucking play the game. It is not a tower defense game at all.

Digital Distribution has already heavy impacted the PC Gaming industry and as always the console tends to follow what the direction of the PC...at has remained so for the past 15-20 years. Boxed retail packages of PC games have been falling every year, especially over the past two years and it is not due to a lack of demand but the shift to digital copies. I think the PC will be 60% converted probably by 2012, so when they talk about consoles games primarily being sold digitally I think they are farely close with their guess. Probably between 2015 and 2017 we will start to see a good rise in digital copies of console games and a marginal decrease in net revenue from retail packaging by then.

I was thinking sacrifice more so than overlord. It was more of an RTS game then overlord with different types of units while you are the leader commanding them. It is what overlord kind of reminds me of as well. Sacrafice came out in 2001 well before overlord was realized.

I love pirating games, since I always have the game pre-ordered (if not I jut buy it on release)...I just want to play it now, instead of later.

Oddly enough I have a completely unopened Bioshock and KOTOR box in my room because I downloaded many days before the street date. I own ever gaming console out and I PC game. I own about 300 PC games and probably 50 console games, all legit purchases...I'm a gaming fanatic.

I dislike those individuals that pirate games and never give the developers not only the credit but the funds they deserve for making great games. Without the players support we would not have more games from "xyz" developers.

I haven't downloaded this, only because I don't have the proper "stuff" to play it on my DS. However, I'm going to be picking this game up at the store ASAP, it looks fantastic.

"All the knowledge?"

Seriously there is probably a 20 or 30 step tutorial on how to install computer parts it isn't rocket science, it's like Legos. You are not overclocking you or modifying your processor multipliers nor are you are going to fucking with the bios.

It appears you have not upgraded in quite sometime, so you bitching is very similar to a "console fanboy" talking about how his favorite playstation 2 doesn't play god of war 3 and how it doesn't make sense since that is the only game he wants to play on the console, so it must be gay and retarded.

I have had my computer for three years with no upgrades (besides a new HD drive for 80 bucks). My GTX8800 still plays every PC game out with little to no hiccups. I spent 1,200 on my first gaming computer and I will probably upgrade my computer next year, which will be almost four years since I purchased by that time. When I upgrade I will only spend 550 or so to upgrade my mobo, ram, vid card, and processor....not need for any other gaming components. That setup will last me another two years+.

You need to stop over exhaguerating to prove your horrible point.

Even more so "microballs" and "playshitless" have so many hoops to jump over when the developers want to release a patch for their games. This takes extra time and it can a whole slew of issues.

Blizzard wants to play by their own rules on a great open plateform like the PC where they don't have to pay a licensing fee nor do they have to deal with patch validation by the console producer.

Blizzard is notorious for adding content free with their patches as well as supporting their games for years while releasing patches on a regular basis. Patching is a new thing with consoles and it doesn't work that well. One day they will get it right, but this generation still can not compete in many ares to the computer.

"Upgrading" would assume that you would not be buying everything from scratch. When I upgrade (once every three years), I get a mid range video card $160-180, processor $200, RAM $80, and motherboard $100. That computer will run almost every game I need at medium to high settings for the next few years. No need to spend 2000 dollars...we are not talking about new sound card, monitor, hard drive, dvd burning, blu-ray, case, etc. I would assume that most people who "upgrade" their computers have many of these components already.

No need to "look for the best deals" all those prices estimates came from newegg.

You people are just bitching for the sake of bitching, which tends to happen quite often on these comments in Joystiq.
