Definitive CD release date?

[rickah88]

Just wondering if anything has been worked out on this front? I know making mods is fun, and appeals to the 50, or so diehards on here...but don't you REALLY want to get this game out to the masses?? This has to be one of the worst release strategies I've ever seen(forget Diablo3). Why the big waiting game on getting the game pressed, boxed, and shipped out?? Amazon already has Torchlight due in a few weeks and that just streamed last month as well!!

Game is already out on DVD, search the boards...
Diablo 3 is a joke, it's the modern version of Duke Nukem Forever...
Torchlight is basically Diablo 3 since some of the developers of the original Diablo and the composer were involved in it and if you compare the screenshots they look alike.

Torchlight is NOT diablo 3; it is a repeat of FATE. I'm not a huge fan of diablo or fate or torchlight but for the records the games are not the same (i did like titan quest).

I don't see it available at any of the big retailers in the US(Amazon, BB, Wal*Mart, etc), or on ebay for that matter. Care to provide a clearer reference other than "search the boards"?

It is avaialble in the internal market; don't think it is available yet in usa (though the download version works just fine (I went with steam but others use gamergate and impulse).

I'm kind of curious how sales via digital download compare to dvd. I know that torchlight has done fairly well without a dvd version (of course there has been $5 specials the last couple of weeks; as well as $10 dollar special for KB-AP).

Btw I much rather have a DVD version of this game but to be honest the digital version has been fine.

@Jake,

Thanks for the info! I did the whole DL thing with the original Fate from "Wild Orb Tangent" I think it was called back then...anyway it did not run very smoothly. I eventually got the DVD-ROM and it played flawlessly. Call me "old fashioned" (and I'm only in my 30's!!!!) but I like to have: the media, booklet, and all the pretty pictures!

Everyone is free to have their own opinion to be honest, so dont worry.
Personally I was skeptic towards steam and paypal at first too but now i'm loving it ( a bit too much actually, bought a few too many games because there were so many cheap offers )
Shame you missed out on the 10 euro offer for KB:AP onsteam awhile back, mightve been worth buying it cheap online first while wiating for the dvd release.

Anyhow I can assure you this game is well worth the wait!
Goodluck getting a dvd copy hopefully soon.

@Urbz,

Thanks for the vote of confidence! I guess I was hoping Mr. "Nike-it" would appear and say: "The DVD-ROM will be release on ........". I suppose they are too busy churning out dorky mods, as opposed to getting the US edition on the shelves.

Hope that helps!
P.S. Torchlight is an action RPG just like Diablo and Titan Quest, Fate and all the others, see the screens and you'll see the similarities, just because you don't have as many classes as Diablo doesn't take away the fact all you do is button mash the mouse button quite a lot, hunt treasure, slay baddies and do quests.
