Gaming On Linux

Happy days! I hope it's sooner rather than later!

I was waiting for torchlight & torchlight 2 !
I played a little bit torchlight2 on wine but after some updates the game doesn't launch anymore.

It's a really good game with a lot of mods , i hope they'll eventually work on linux.

I bought Torchlight from the Humble Bundle, despite I already owned it on gamersgate (who by the way still don't have the linux version either), and it's a great game when you want some fun. It's good that they seem to be working on a Linux port of Torchlight II, but I wonder if it's worth buying it. I mean, how much different can it be form the first ? If anyone has played Torchlight 1 and 2, and can give me some advice..
Same for Warlock, by the way, I would love to see a Linux port for Warlock 1, even if in this case I will probably buy Warlock 2 when the Linux version comes out, because it seems rather different, and even more polished than the first.

I've played more than enough of the first one at this point; but I look forward to playing the second one natively.

I'd say the biggest difference with the two games is the second is much more varied. The areas are much bigger and there's often more choice about where to go. It's not quite open world though.

I have played both. TL natively and TL2 via wine due to impatient. The linux version of TL wasn't really modable and had missing faces for a very long time but other than some early version crashes was really smooth. TL2 in wine played perfectly. The upsides of TL2 are more pets and the classes are more varied then the typical barbarian,mage,archer setup of the first one. The gameplay its self is nearly identical and the graphics are not improved but the world design is more open and less dungeon which I think makes the game a little less grindy feeling. Overall I think TL2 is the better game.

I never believed TL2 would come, I must say I can't wait to replay this game native.

yeeeeeeeeees please yeeees I wanna play torchlight 2!!!!

Oh and to mention the big difference between I and II; the latter supports multiplayer which for me was the main thing to be very happy about. Also the Steam Workshop support can add some very wonderful mods, some which can even add a class.

Would be just wonderful to also play TLII on Linux!

Holy … ! Torchlight II natively for Linux would be nothing less than amazing!

If they’re going to release the game for Linux though I really hope that it will also be available as stand-alone/DRM-free version. (Yep, a new Indie Humble Bundle would be great!)

I own both, Torchlight and Torchlight II. Since I got Torchlight II I never looked back to the first game. In my opinion, Torchlight II is superior to the first game in almost every respect. Of course, game play is pretty much the same and the story isn't any complex either. But from the technical side it's way better. In my opinion it has a dense atmosphere to it whereas the first game was merely a fun game.
