Revisiting Torchlight 2

[@Slaphappy1975]

Miss you TB.

[@tessellationarts2971]

Sad

[@ionflux955]

Did he die?

[@swatneo8773]

@@ionflux955 yes on the 24th of May 2018

[@KevTheGalaxybender]

I miss him too man

[@catzor4795]

I still have my notifications turned on for this channel.

[@--9471]

Recently been looking at this game and it makes me genuinely sad to understand that this may be the last time I'll be looking at Total Biscuit's content to influence a decision to buy something. His taste was always similar to mine and he always went in-depth with what I felt was pretty important. He never knew me but I'll probably remember his voice forever. Much love to anyone feeling something similar.

[@michaelharder8644]

Well said

[@Skywalker67897]

I know and I miss him too!

[@lukasschjodt]

Was just debating to buy the game, saw he had a positive review over it on his old Steam Curator. I felt a sad sense of nostalgia... and also subsequently bought it.

[@mkall]

i have a character which is engineer. this is what follows me: my pet (obviously) health bot gun bot sledge bot sceletal swordsman (summoned by the pet) devil imp (summoned by the pet) 4 (immobile) sceletal archers (summoned by the pet) i have a whole army of pet/minions following me at all the times. it is pretty hillarious. plus i have the blitz tech tree so i am jumbing around and hitting the ground like a maniac. fun times XD

[@nickpassino7004]

Ace Ventura of Torchlight II.... I like you already..

[@cynicalbrit]

Diablo 3 is about as grimdark and mature as Scooby Doo.

[@75338]

Damn son.

[@simplebryll123]

coming back to watch this video after The TL3 announcement has a Bittersweet feeling to it, We miss you TB

[@Needler13]

Especially since Torchlight 3 sucks balls.

[@XGALAXYDRIFT3RX]

I've recently put close to 70 hours into T2, and I didn't know you could give your pets spells! Thanks TB!!!

[@75338]

Nice!

[@Wolfun1t]

+Cro68 Pets will in fact outscale your character if the RNG gods haven't been that favorable to you, this becomes slightly apparent at level 30 and becomes extremely obvious at level 55+. It's quite embarrassing and puts you down at first, but once you start grabbing better gear you will become much stronger than your pet, that is, assuming most of your gear doesn't give you % pet damage, which you can if you had a summoning build, letting your skeletal minions/pet do all the tanking and spanking for you

[@jotunheim5302]

You are a Brit like me, it's not Zee it's Zed you plank.

[@Nightstriker995]

RIP TB you were amazing at what you do. and I always enjoyed your videos press f to pay respects.

[@sniperlemming]

I highly recommend the Synergies mod. Description: “SynergiesMOD is a complete conversion for Torchlight 2. Adding 108 Elite monsters, 6 Rare dragons, 28 Raid dungeons, 11 unique World Bosses, 4 Sets of Legendary Armor, 16 new Tier-1 Legendary Weapons, brand new Quest lines, a new World hub for ACT5, and a whole new class: The Necromancer. Future plans include 24 planned Classes, 3 more Raid Dungeon chains, 2 Quest hubs, 2 more ACTS of overworld play, and much more.

[@TheAquarius87]

Was this in my recommended list. May he be adjusting FOV sliders in heaven now

[@Tyggs42]

Hellgate was actually shaping up to be good before Flagship got stabbed in the back by their investors. I thinks it's big problem was publishers and investors forced a release way before it was ready.

[@johnpatz8395]

God I miss TB, it’s largely thanks to him that I swore off buying games from so called triple A developers and instead prefer to patronize small/mid sized and indie devs. I’ve not only have been very happy with that decision, but I’ve ended up with far more titles, most of which I’ve put far more hours into than I would have AAA games, while spending a fraction of what the AAA games cost.

[@TheBosama]

We miss you! Ya bloody legend ✌

[@sandyavatar43]

I played diablo 3 on my bros computer for a few hours and just by watching footage of this, this looks so much more appealing because the movement ALONE looks so much more smooth and fluid and not so clunky. Great vid TB keep up all the awesome work you do.

[@yusoffm3472]

I finally got bored of this game! After 103 hours of gameplay..

[@ballerbalgruuf]

My pet is a badger named honey :3

[@MrBuns-yi2hk]

I like this game better then Diablo III because I don't like Diablo's leveling system.

[@AmandaWspoon]

I played a little with my brother but other than that I've been soloing...I never D2 much. My first dungeon game I played for hours was Darkstone for playstation I love it of course this is a big step up. I usually play as a warrior/engineer even outside of video-games but when my friends and I had our own magical world in our back yard challenging trees with sticks we found. I just enjoy hacking away at things. Torchlight works great on my mediocre computer and looks great too.

[@howardboyer9730]

Downloaded torchlight 1 a long time ago, beat it and enjoyed it. Rediscovered it a while ago, beat it and enjoyed it. Started to play it again more recently, about to beat it and still enjoying it. Got it in my head to see if a new one would ever show up to top it, and here i am.... enjoying this video.

[@djdawg89]

miss hearing your voice dude. we lost a real one.

[@nickpassino7004]

Pre Ordered for PS4. Drops Tuesday. Hope it's good

[@braveguy2]

I really feel like the skill system either emphasizes having passives and having a diverse number of actives. Certain passives can do a great a deal and usually one rank in an active works pretty well because of the fact that most things scale along with player level and player damage along with rank. Having a lot of actives really makes for compelling combat and the passives can greatly increase dps or add a lot of fun side effects to your attacks.

[@benfox80]

My favorite game of this genre.

[@markusk3015]

Amazing Game and i Love it,thanks TB a truly Legend

[@flamewit]

this game is so thought out and worked through. some games feel like work, this game sends shivers down my spine of excitement. good review

[@ToasterDsG]

Goodnight, sweet prince.

[@busman7814]

Buying this tonight hopefully, I'm a bit late of course, but im mainly buying it to play with a few friends. Is the co-op good?

[@banido]

It will not have separated saves for online. Read the TL2 FAQ on Runic's site: "There are no official closed servers with server-side character saves, as Runic does not have the resources to run that kind of system under this price" You'll be able to play with your offline chars in peer-to-peer matchmaking.

[@RealNovaProjects]

Diablo 2. I don't think Blizzard made Torchlight 2. I'm downloading it now.

[@AtotehZ]

@TotalHalibut Mate, no way this is faster than D3. This looks interesting, but saying it is faster is just plain false. That goes for back in the beta when this was made as well. Nice video, I'll be checking out more of the game thanks to this.

[@yaheshua]

I don't know if someone pointed this out but, anyway... last part of the video (second dungeon, where he finds the "cthulhu" thing"), that actually is a "The Thing" easter egg... the ice coffin, the kennels with the bad (infected in the movie) dog... aaaand, MacReady's shotgun. Mac-effin-Ready's shotgun hahaha, that was a great detail there! I wonder if there are other easter eggs like this or if they are "randomly" generated. (obvously we're talking about John Carpenter's version)

[@kninja9999]

I love this game. For all those people saying its a copy cat stop hating it has a bunch of x developers from other games.

[@cameltoh220]

I skimmed through the video and noticed you had glaive throw equiped twice. Not sure if you know this but right next to your mana the main skill (right click) can be switched to a second skill with the tab button. Typically I set one high damage one and one evasive one and then the rest to the 3-9 hotkeys

[@LichRC]

This video is awesome, I like it a lot. I'd ask you to make more about Torchlight 2, pity that there is no beta out at the moment. And the release date of the game is far from today, I fear!

[@Rheylene]

Gotta love the fact that they put in a reference to the movie "The Thing", considering the "Thing" inside the (Norsk Leiern) dungeon at the end of the video ^^

[@Fancy_Raptor]

Did anybody else notice that "Blair's Journal" at the end was a big reference to Carpenter's version of "The Thing"? The writing was a transcript of MacReady's audio tape. Man that's cool.

[@WohnathanJick]

i cannot wait for this , I paid for this back in may and i found out that i couldnt play it cause it wasnt out so ive waited untill now to play, AND ONLY 4 DAYS LEFT OMG JIZZFACE THUMBS THIS UP IF YOUR GONNA PLAY IT WHEN ITS OUT

[@HockeyDude2333]

i hope torchlight 2 will still support the modding community, the mods for the first game are amazing. love the classes and player created lvls.

[@Mrgrayraiden20]

I got this game on steam a few days ago, and im completely in love with it!

[@AlmightySammich]

4 classes - Berserker (DPS warrior), Embermage (squishy mage), Outlander (rogue), and Engineer (tank, shades of support) The descriptions are just rough approximations to give an idea of what they do.

[@QuarterMasterGaming]

i noticed how when a bunch of items drop the text stacks on top rather than overlaying like in TC1. So nice!

[@Palatard]

The same team made Torchlight and Diablo.

[@YamchaBro]

indeed, I hope this game brings me what I want in one of my fav genres. i've been convinced to preorder it from all the positive feedback of many vids. Also considering you get the first game free upon preordering

[@Mikhos]

I know what you mean about the combat! I usually HATE mages and I played through Torchlight 1 as an alchemist as my first character, and loved every minute of it. Super excited for this.

[@doghateburger]

I gotta say, this game is a lot better then I expected, I pre-purchase it on Steam and got Torchlight one, which I'm enjoying quite a lot :D.

[@briarrosee]

you get both, i preordered during the steam sale

[@PaperPlateGamez]

That dungeon at the end, the Norse Leiren, wasn't in my world at all. Apparently the random generation includes changing which dungeons you get.

[@lilyrubyify]

Torchlight 2 and Marvel Heroes are both create by some of the core developers from the old Blizzard North who worked on Diablo 2.

[@WaitNBleeeed]

Just got Torchlight 1 on steam for $4 and its actually really good. Can't wait for this one!

[@ThaChaotix]

they already reworked the skill system in TL2, it now has tiers that on top of passive upgrades give bonus effects to your skills and changes them visably, if you want all the info go to the torchlight2 site.

[@ikelleigh]

Can't you still shift+click for your pet to pick up stuff? I used that a lot in Torchlight for the white drops.

[@CodecrafterArtemis]

You can always put a class-restricted game into your shared stash and use it as soon as you want to play as this appropriate class. And they are pretty rare.

[@thesqaanalyst]

great review and demo

[@kevinngx]

I remember when i was about 5, my cousin, siblings (all about 1-3 years older than ) fought over a computer playing Diablo 2 which belonged to my uncle. We will always gather around and watch everyone scour the first act or two, we sucked so we never made it that far. But as we grew up we grew in skill too and within a couple of years we figured out how to actually build classes and such and by the time we were all teens we have become regulars doing hardcore runs on each of our own comps.

[@DeadxInsanity]

Did the map not randomly generate in the beta? This dungeon and the overworld are exactly like mine were in the beta.

[@Luci_Ketalia]

"I've Fought Goblins, I've Fought Zombies, And now I'm fighting King Pogg and i don't know WHAT the hell that thing is" that is the best line...ever

[@mutantarachnid]

Yes, there is are two. Personal and shared (for all your characters).

[@Zerrin]

Really looking forward to this. Torchlight was my favorite Diablo-style game, and now to play in a bigger world with multiplayer will be excellent. Already pre-ordered for me and my partner. Might be more casual, whatever that means, than other options, but it's the funnest for me and my mates who go to other games for hardcore options.

[@crazyjak56]

I wouldn't say torchlight two is more for kiddish people. I would say it's for people that are looking for a vibrant game with variety, one with a sense of exploration. It's one of the things I loved about the beta for this. There were a lot of things to explore and find. Every new game brought a new map for more adventure because even the same environments manage to feel different. Simply amazing.

[@datguy12100]

lol are you talking about the main quest?...(the skyrim length thingy)

[@DrDunderTM]

wow FATE was a great game. this really reminds me of that

[@Typanoid]

Wow, this game's looking even better than I thought and I was already anticipating it before. *drool*

[@Qqqqrrrr3]

Don't know if you were responded to or not but you can go back through the game again in a new game+ style but it actually has a few new quests and things.

[@XplosiveMonkEs]

uploaded on my birthday :D

[@ugleland]

can't wait for this second Torchlight! :)) but why do all classes run so fast in every video!? :S

[@borisvdb]

There is an item threshold in the options menu.

[@AlkisGD]

Great video and the game looks great as well. If it costs a mere 20 euros I can definitely see myself trying it out on release :D

[@wewegon]

I think it depends on where u live, I wish I can get a box copy too..and maybe the price may differ from the digital one

[@ralffyx]

Idk on the statement that the skill trees are behind the curve. Sure its a bit older of a system, but it lets you make ANY play style you want. In torchlight 1 i was a melee mage, it worked amazingly.

[@ShadowDist]

awesome review thanks mate cant wait for TL2 to come out!

[@Cyromantik]

It's fun! It's super fun! And playing on Veteran on the first act boss is actually really giving me a run for my money, and I'm pleasantly surprised. :D

[@pancakesarebetter]

TB! Do you know there is a setting to turn off white items from showing up! In the options!

[@MrTirien]

Guild Wars 2, Torchlight 2 and Battlefield 3 - Armored kill coming out soon, can this year get any better?

[@IamTheHunterx]

Pre Ordered, Can't wait!

[@Iechinok]

I believe they're referring, albeit vaguely, to the sticky targeting in Torchlight.

[@Youboob99]

MATT UELMEN MUSIC RETURNS!! I cannot get over how glorious it sounds and completely enriches the atmosphere. I fucking LOVE OLD BLIZZARD. Thumbs up if the music consumed you...

[@DeadLinux]

Just watched the MJG Spring footage, and the offer still stands. I will buy the beer in North Dakota, if he comes for (random, I admit) an interview. I'll beg.

[@Iechinok]

The reason there are skills that buff for like 4 seconds is due to the fact that they'd be completely OP if it weren't so... If Stone Pact gave you a 20 second heal and all you had to do was step in the aura of it for a second, that'd make you nearly unkillable. As it stands, monsters can rush you out of the Aura, and you can lose the effectiveness of it, or wait to recast it. It's something you plan around and play through, and makes the gameplay incredibly fast-paced.

[@WhatWillYouFind]

I pre-ordered the game through steam way back when and I can say no matter what price you pay, there is a lot of value in TL2. If you can get it for 10 bucks or even cheaper buy an additional copy and get a friend into it, you will not regret it.

[@jintek7]

They weren't laid off, around 30 employees quit blizzard north to form their own. Including the executives, eventually they formed Runic Entertainment to create the torchlight series. When they were still working for Blizzard they had an idea of what D3 would look like but Blizzard shot it down so they left to pursue their own ideas of what rpg games are like.

[@justDoctor]

yes youll receive it even if you only see torchlight 2 in the basket. I preordered it aswell and received the first. Totally worth it.

[@marcusstien8688]

i just got this is there anyway to make the control to move easy becuase im used to using the arrow keys or better yet th aswd keys. if there is please telll me.

[@LordSeferoth]

I really want this game! I havent been this excited about a game since...well Kingdoms of Amalur and we all know what happened there, but im pretty sure Torchlight 2 will kick ass!

[@Foxhead105]

September? Did they say they were going to release it in September? I thought they said they were aiming for a late July/ early August release date.

[@agirotto1]

Together with The Witcher, Torchlight and Magicka were probably the coolest games I played the last couple of years. Looking forward to TL2.

[@derBene]

36:00 A John Carpenter moment. A tribute to a recently remade movie of his. A really, really good one. Nice one Runic. :)

[@Ryan_Thomas]

Yeah i just got it cant wait for it to finish downloading :D

[@Cyromantik]

He's very opinionated, but also extremely fair, and Totalbiscuit's shows are always worth the watch/listen.

[@arizothwow1]

Anyone here after Torchlight 2 was free on the epic store? WE MISS YOU TB

[@jfl125]

Aghhhhh, I remember Fate. Good times

[@Crispietreats]

wow I’m so excited for this

[@SeaTimeless]

I love the Torchlight series and own both games, but TL2 just doesn't feel the same as TL1, and the UI changes just make me feel out of place.

[@coloosher]

is the mp maps the same as single player ones or different ? and is there plans for expansion pack in the near future ?

[@texmexman1]

I've been debating whether i should roll with this path of exile or diablo 3. I've played this and Diablo and i think i'm going with torchlight when the game comes out.

[@Aelanian27]

if u use a mod from the steam workshop and get rid of it will it mess up ur characters playthrough or something

[@BladeLigerV]

are there the storage chests like the first?

[@Mariuscpop]

Torchlight 1 is free on GOG. Not Torchlight 2.

[@Feragore]

But hopefully this time around 'Very Hard' actually means it. The original's exp scaling was broken and you could get 5-10 levels over mobs just by doing sidequests; one-hitting everything got old fast. You had to either install band-aid mods to fix the level system or abandon the main quest and play bonus portal dungeons to actually get a challenge.

[@xbon1]

is the requires class engineer locked to that second requirement, or once you hit 23 you can wear it regardless of class?
