Hello everyone and welcome to a pros and
0:03
cons of the video game Torch Light on
0:05
Not Now Mom, I'm gaming. These are short
0:08
videos featuring gameplay clips or
0:10
screenshots so as not to show too much
0:12
in the spoiler department. Links to this
0:14
review are in the description below. Let
0:19
Pros: Voice acting. If there's ever
0:22
going to be a pro for this game, for me,
0:25
it would definitely be the amount of
0:26
voice acting in it. Sure, not all the
0:29
lines are voiced, but that's okay
0:31
because the ones that are are well done
0:35
Cons: Combat is clunky, which is a
0:39
little weird for a combat driven game,
0:41
don't you think? Then again, it was
0:43
released in 2009, so let's just say it
0:46
didn't age well in this regard. I can
0:49
honestly only compare this to Diablo II
0:51
because that's the only other game like
0:53
this I played enough to clearly remember
0:55
and I've come across just a few annoying
0:57
things when it came to combat. First,
1:00
stairs are your nemesis. You won't be
1:03
able to hit most enemies on a staircase.
1:06
Second, I played as a mage and the
1:08
character sometimes doesn't move when
1:09
you use the laser beam attack. Your
1:12
character is supposed to stay still, but
1:14
you should be able to rotate them
1:15
wherever you want. And that just wasn't
1:18
the case as far as this attack goes.
1:20
Third, I don't like how when you enter
1:22
an area, monsters could be right there
1:24
waiting for you. Normally, there's a
1:26
certain gap to where they show up.
1:28
Consider this a personal gripe.
1:31
Your pet is obnoxious. Oh my lord. I had
1:35
the links and it just doesn't stop. It's
1:37
so bad when you're standing around and
1:39
fishing. I wish it would let me have
1:40
some peas and only make noise when in
1:42
combat mode. No quest markers. Did
1:45
Diablo II spoil me? Did they think
1:47
everyone would just automatically know
1:48
where to go even after taking a break?
1:51
When you go into your quest log, they
1:53
don't specifically say where you need to
1:55
go to complete it. Instead, it'll drop
1:58
something of a keyword, and you'll just
1:59
have to remember what place that keyword
2:01
pertains to. Not even a map will help
2:05
And that's the end of a pros and cons
2:07
review of Torch Light. Thanks for
2:10
watching everyone, and don't get in too
2:12
much trouble when you say, "Not now,
