Torchlight II Delayed, Runic Says Play Skyrim Instead

[Sightless Wisdom]

These are the kind of devs that make me happy. I love to see developers actually acknowledge that they are human people who enjoy games and support the current releases of other developers. This tiny bit of publicity has done enough good for their image that I am now considering buying Torchlight II when it releases because I am now confident that they understand what makes a good game and that they will take the time they need to do it right rather than rush through to launch.

You've got to love it when a developer puts politics to one side and just gives the thumbs up to the sterling work everybody else is doing.

If only more studios followed suit, then the gaming world would be a better place.

If only more fans would do that as well, then the gaming world would be a betterer place.

Sadly, that will never happen.

Just take the internetz. All of them.

Will do Runic! I've already played skyrim for 50+ hours and haven't done the main quest line pass talking to the Greybeards the first time XD lvl34 and a lvl16

So did one of the devs die then?

Not that I'm complaining. More polish is always a good thing

Wasn't it "Torchlight 2 this winter unless someone dies, expected around November/December" They've a few months yet.

Delayed torchlight....back to the Path of Exile beta I go.

It's little comments like this that garner more respect out of me for Runic. Regardless of how close to Diablo 3, I'll still buy Torchlight 2. I liked the first well enough and Runic seems to be staffed by a group of classy people.

The question is, had it have just been released, would they have recommended playing Diablo?
That would be impressive.
