sounds good, tried the demo - could be fun
Is there still some MP gaming going on?

You can play through the entire game in co-op.

The rest of the game itself is essentially Diablo 2 all over again with prettier graphics. The only lacking area is the story. That is definitely not up to Diablo standards. That said, the game is really entertaining. I spent quite a lot of time playing it when it came out.

If all you're after is a lot of clicky-click and lots of loot from evil creatures you've slain... it should be right up your alley

That is a great deal and definitely worth $20. I got it last year and got my money's worth at $40, considering how much I played it. kuddles is right, Titan Quest got the whole D2 thing right. It completely hooked me. Whereas Dungeon Siege left me a hollow, empty shell, wondering why I wasted the money. The clicky-click in that game just didn't do it for me.

Its a great D2 update graphically but I found the loot drops TERRIBLE in multiplay coop. Ran the whole 1st Act with five others and nothing of interest was collected in those hours invested. The rewards were so slight for the effort involved that we just gave up after that and never bothered to finish.

While the overarching story itself is fairly standard fare, there are some real gems of content in the townsfolk you talk to. I've always had a fascination with Greek mythology, and there are a bunch of characters, especially in the expansion, that will retell many of the tales - both popular and lesser-known... not to mention all the fun little references sprinkled throughout the main and side quests.

Anyone know if this is a limited time sale?

I've finished the regular campaign once but still need to get the expansion campaign done. I haven't found a better co-op multilayer game in the past couple of years. It's funny that you guys say the story is worse than Diablo because from my limited experience with that game series I never realized there was a story.

Wow. Saying a game's story isn't up to Diablo standards is kind of like saying a game isn't quite as well-lit as Doom 3.

Well.. it's true. Titan Quest has none of the personality or "soul" if you will that Diablo 2 had.

The game is fun, but it tends to feel sterile to me where Diablo feels like there's really some effort invested into the characters. Actually encountering Tyreal in Diablo 2 was actually a good game moment for me. I never had one of those in Titan Quest.

It definitely solves some of the Diablo problems...using potions directly from inventory with one key, different loot highlight keys to filter out various loot types, a better respawn system, and so forth.

I'll echo the "no soul" comments. It was definitely fun to play through, but it didn't hook me the way Diablo did. And the skills you pick up in the trees don't have the same flair.

Still, well worth 20 dollars for a playthrough, particularly co-op.

While I never played the original by itself, I can't imagine the game without the caravan, which was added in the expansion. I believe there were some other key features added to it, as well, that make it very worth the price. And, so far, the expansion is very well done.

The game was solid before the expansion but I have to admit that it was the Immortal Throne that really made the game for me and helped it reach Diablo 2 status (for me). The caravan, the adjusted loot drops, the relic crafting, scrolls, the dream skill set, and the content from the expansion area (15-20 hours for me?). I'm now towards the end of Epic with a solo char and will start up on Legendary sometime soon. I wouldn't want to play it without the expansion now as it's an entirely different game with it.

In all fairness, I haven't had a single problem like Farscry has described (we've discussed the issue at length) but I'm running it on a fairly beefy machine. When I ran it on my three year old PC upon it's initial release (sans expansion) I did have to run it at the bare minimum options for performance. It still looked fantastic though.
