Titan Quest Demo

Titan Quest = 1 part Nox + 3 parts Diablo1 + 1 part Diablo2 + 1 part Dungeonsiege1

#1 It IS pretty addictive
#2 It IS a very "simple" game
#3 There is very very limited interaction. Just point click talk or attack.
#4 There is NO blood because it was an E3 demo.
#5 There is ALOT of depth to multiplayer and a 'quest editor'... SWEET!
#6 It is SO simple that it actual sucks you in for hours on hours.
#7 The skill system and 'jewel item' setup is nice (what DungeonSiege should have done but couldn't get right)
#8 There are no ambient animals or creatures in the wild. This would be a nice addition.
#9 There is no sort button in the inventory.... this is needed.
#10 Simple, hidden depth, it is fun... I will buy it! It rocks!

Can you save MP games and load across all clients from a save spot?

It's like a bastard offspring of Diablo and Dungeon Siege. It's not inspired. It looks nice but lots of games look nice. There's no innovation that I can see. Man I sound like a hater but that's what I think.

I'm reminded of AoE3 and Rise of Legends in terms of anticipation. Crap.

Please don't be Win XP only.

Just finished the demo. I thought it was alot of fun :) Very nice graphics and Diablo-esc.

Which splinter of the old Diablo team did this?

Between ArenaNet, Flagship... it's getting confusing.

No blood.. ugh.

I'm tired of all the recent games coming out with crappy hit feedback and unsatisfying kills.

Guild Wars, Dungeon Runners, and even Hellgate to a certain extent (lack of fluids/bodyparts on corpses compared to D2) all suffer from this.

What happened to the days of the 90's - 2000 when you could fire a rocket or cast a spell and watch the screen fill up with dozens of pieces of gibs? Smash TV, Quake, Diablo, SOF, Fallout, Baldur's Gate were all incredibly satisfying to play because of this.

If you watch the new games like Guild Wars or Dungeon Runners you see this party of five guys beat on this level 30 fatass boss for a minute, and then at the end, NOTHING. The boss doesn't have a scream, no death throes, no explosion, nothing... he simply flops over on his ass and looks like he's sleeping. Makes the whole thing anticlimactic and unsatisfying. Bleh..

does the full game have coop? or strictly a SP game?

Shit, it's been awhile since I've felt compelled to keep playing a game, let alone a demo. Good stuff!

They need to add in some sort of sound when you hit an enemy. Currently there is no feedback whatsoever when you fight. It feels weird ... wondering if I'm actually hitting anything half the time.

Hopefully just a glitch in the demo? Other then that gripe I'm loving it so far!!

Alright, I've played through this thing twice now and it's a souped up diablo3d. Everything about this game is absolutely tits - it's hard to believe how much they got RIGHT - except two things.

The skills are boring, especially for the warrior. To draw the inevitable comparison to D2, the barb there could use the supremely awesome whirlwind, and builds were made around using long weapons and mana leech to keep it going nonstop. Here I tried to immediately go for the spinning attack (against up to 4 targets only btw), but lo and behold, it was very underwhelming. The guy stands in place, spins around one time and has to wait for a while due to a SKILL RECHARGE TIMER. And the other available skills were of passive variety, so 90% of the time I was just going around swinging my weapons with the basic attack. Yikes! I'm a friggin' warrior, I want to charge, leap, spin and just generally go batshit crazy. NOT stand in one spot and swing my weapon. I thought I was going to fall asleep.

The second time I went through with earth mastery, and that was a lot more fun with the volcanic orb and flame burst or whatever. But where's my firewall and inferno? That was one of D2's biggest strengths - most classes had ways to decimate big groups in seconds with some really fun skills. Settling for the basic attack after that just won't cut it.

The other problem is that there won't be any real online play, and I guess it's too much to expect a new developer to create a matchmaking system like bnet, but nonetheless the realms is what made D2.

So uh.. it requires no space to install, yet when I try to install it on a drive with 130+GB free, it says not enough space.

o_O

Great game.. I loved the Diablo games and this just hits it on the head, I'll be buying it.

Graphics are damm nice when cranked. Very nice. Very much like diablo, which is both good and bad. I think multiplayer is going to be teh shit.

Is it just me or is this the longest demo to be released in a damn long time? Admittedly, I'm one of those 'see everything' types in games like this, so I scoured every area.. but the demo took me almost 2 hours, and I'm almost definately going to play through it at least once more to try another character.

I can't fucking wait for the full game.. So much Diablo-y hotness.

Is there an option to always have the labels on for loot drops? I don't like holding down alt or z when stuff drops to identify it.

I'm running the demo on win2k and haven't had any problems at all installing it or playing.

The locked camera controls are a drag. In this day and age I want to be able to look around and actually be looking in the direction that I'm going. Oh well, I suspected this was going to be the case. Maybe I'm spoiled but I don't see the point of a 3D game having a locked camera.

Otherwise this game would be pretty fun and worthplaying. I like the Greek theme and the graphics seem to be pretty good. I like the look of the harpies and how the grass moves as you walk through it. Also like somebody else said, the water effects are nice too.

So far I'm a little underwhelmed. Aside from the mythology aspect there is no reason to play this over Diablo 2. They added no depth to the genre. The 3D graphics are alright but the Diablo interface/movement felt smoother. Also there's no blood so the combat feedback isn't very exciting.

Anyone wondering if this is worth the download should STOP now and DOWNLOAD!! It's pretty damn amazing.

Slick graphics, amazing sound and music. The game just feels /right./ Really great stuff here.

I am playing at 2560x1600 on an Apple 30" which is insane and it just looks fantastic.

I also have not encountered any problems with the installer?

Holy shit this game is going to be amazing. Everything feels really well, great graphics which run very nicely on my shitty system, and just general awesomeness. Only a month away@#

A friend of mine is an artist on that game, and he says the mod editor is amazing. Mods for a diabloII type game, sounds awesome!!!!

It wont let me create a profile, anyone else having this problem?

hmm for those wondering about system reqs, its running really really well on my Sempron 3100 and radeon 9600.

I don't have a top of the line gaming system, as you can tell but its running great and looks good.

It reminds me a lot of Darkstone (anyone actually remember that game?) Combat is pretty boring, so far, just blowing away birds, boars and some goblin like creatures.

The water effects look good however, and when you move through the wheatfields the wheat moves as you walk through it, pretty cool

Yay Max McGuire!

So does anybody downloaded the demo? How is it?

I realy need to update my PC. -.-

What kind of system requirements does this tout? All I have is my laptop right now, and I'm afraid it will die :(

OMG!!!!! That rocks big time, this game is awesome from what I have seen and read. I believe it will deliver the next diablo experience.

Also for xbox 360 owners if you haven't go down load Lost Planet it might be the best game I have ever played considering its a demo in my opinion.

Can't wait to try this out. Unfortunatly I have a feeling it's just going to leave me wanting Diablo 3 even more. =(
