Patience, grasshopper. Patience.

I'll assume that you mean that windows version of TL2 also is full of bugs then ? Oh well, so was the Diablo 3. Actually, anyone who was able to play during launch and notice the bugs was happy - most people could not even connect.

Now, I would say that this thread's title has become a bit of obsolete by now, as a new game stands between those 2. Path of Exile is on open beta, free to get, free to play. Most of my hopes are on this rather than D3 / TL2 debate.

I beat that game months ago. Several times. I still login occasionally to play with friends when everyone feels like doing the monster mash.

The last time I tried to play Diablo 3, I had to plead with my friends to join me. I think they landed up joining my party out of pity (foreveralone.jpg) rather then a desire to play the game. We lasted about an hour, got trapped in a dungeon with your usual invulnerable-mortar-arcane-chains elite mix, and rage quitted together.

I still maintain that Torchlight 2 is fun, and Diablo 3 is a farming job. I'm not surprised the head guy (Jay Wilson) jettisoned himself from the Diablo 3 team to go do something else.
