It would cause horrible lag between players at times (usually the host is fine but players who join would feel lagged), if connections weren't the same/distance great/pc differences etc. I didn't like it at all during the Diablo2 days, however. But I dunno.client-side stuff has probably improved a lot these days. I don't like switching back and forth every day or couple days - I lose too much focus.Īs to MP. Unlike some people, I can only obsess on one game at a time.
However, since they didn't release it until much later than I first expected, it's going to be put on hold until after the first obsessive playing of Borderlands 2 has passed.
The only thing for me is that the character classes in TL2 don't initially appeal much, but that could change once I play them. It sounds like they made improvements (don't care about the MP) and it's cheap. That said, with the disappointment of Diablo3, I'll probably give it a go. I did like its Diablo vibe, the 'endless dungeon' concept for late-stage mucking around, and I like the pets (heh) but for some reason didn't like the dungeon design or the combat UI in TL1, even tho it wasn't too different from Fate. I liked Fate (the precursor, I guess, to Torchlight) but I was only so-so about TL1.
