crossposting from the "are you buying Torchlight 2 on consoles?" thread for those that don't venture out into the wilderness that is Gaming, but want some more TL2 impressions:
spent all morning playing, got my lvl 11 engineer now, been combing the levels with a fine comb to find all the quest / dungeons (one thing I always liked about torchlight 2 is that because of the Fame system, it incentivises you to do all you can because youre always earning fame from the elite monsters / sidequests, which in turn give you skill points on top of the points you get from leveling)
Framerate is holding up even if you do notice dips when chaos ensues, for example when im spamming my engineer cannon blast skill which is a fireball that pierces enemies, onto a group of enemies, with all sorts of enemy and my own cannon effects going on, and the screen shaking and shit, it drops. I think. Or its just the chaos. But im pretty sure its dropping lol. The cartoony art style does wonders for the game portable, I actually think it's quite a looker on the small screen, some of the dungeons look gorgeous.
Anyway, yeah its Torchlight 2, I mean that as a compliment. Theres no comprimise, its just torchlight 2 portable, its up there with diablo 3 in the "this is pretty nuts" department lol.
Funny sidenote: I've actually never played vanilla Torchlight 2, I only played the synergies mod, and I also never played any vanilla class, so it's actually a lot "newer" to me than expected.
