Torchlight 2 is a lot better with loot, in a similar vein to Borderlands 1 -> Borderlands 2. Not as good as Diablo 3 post-Loot 2.0, but still a very fun (if relatively somewhat casual) game for people not tethered to spreadsheets.

The Switch really needs an addictive loot game

Yup even when N-Space was developing literally the exact concept for the other platforms.
Someone better tell the DQX devs.

Since they had to scrap everything due to D1 being held back by last gen tech, I'm going to guess the answer is no
There's a much better chance of Destiny 2 coming to my iphone than the Switch.
Comments like this are so funny when we know that Dragon Quest X (an MMO) is coming out on the system in a couple of months....
Diablo 3 or Torchlight 2 would be amazing indeed. Wish more developers made dungeon crawler loot games for handhelds. It's such a great fit. Closest we got on Vita was this Gameloft Diablo clone (which I guess wasn't bad for what I wanted).
What's your point? We're talking about the Switch here.

And Switch isn't one of them... yet.
Properly open world implies that not being open world makes it deficient somehow, but the game's not really like that. We'll see where they go with MH5 though.
MH is hard to get into but it's more about adjusting to the way it plays. There's certainly a lot of arcane bullshit, I main bowguns trust me I know. But if that stuff is frontloaded in Souls (what do these stats do etc) it's kind of on the back end of MH. You can just pick an armor set + weapon you like the look of and roll with it for a while until you're comfortable. And then hundreds of hours later you're still learning new stuff. It's what I like about the series the most.

can't they at least make the campaign available offline?
well, fuck.
Chasing monsters through loading screens isn't something I want to do.

I would buy Diablo 3 a third time on the Switch.
The reason they gave about always being online is a bunk reason. If they don't want to port the game, that's fine, but saying it's because their game is always online is just a messed up reason when there is an always online game coming out on the system fairly soon. It would have been better if they just would have said they didn't want to do it, because that's probably the real reason.

It's gonna be Monster Hunter. I'll buy a Switch the moment that a MH game is released for it.
Porting an ARPG wouldn't be a bad idea, though.

Borderlands 3 will be using Unreal so there's hope there.
I would probably put hundreds of hours into Diablo 3 on Switch. Just like I've put well over 600 hours into it on PC and PS4.
Thing is, without Seasons it would be a shadow of it's true self and they're always online. I could still see it though - seasons for when you have a net connection and offline for other times. It's doable. Certainly doable from a graphical power standpoint too. Perfect for the console but it's a question of whether there's a desire at Blizzard to get it done.

I do wonder what Nintendo could do with an MMO RPG style concept.
Probably consume my life.

Oh yea, I would love one. Isometric loot based RPG's are my jam.
Something like Divinity OS would also probably work pretty well on it. Might be too CPU intensive, I don't know.

how you figure that?
If they do an updated console release with the necro DLC, this could happen yes?
I recall Randy saying there was no plans to bring anything borderlands to the switch.
I've never played a Disgaea game before. Didn't realize it was a loot type of game. I'm going to have to check it out.

Monster Hunter would be/will be awesome on the Switch, but it doesn't fit that same Murder-Loot-Murder-Loot mechanic as well as Torchlight or Diablo does. It is a fun game in it's own right, but it is a lot more tactical than the power-slinging loot-fests that those other games fit perfectly.
Diablo would be good fun to come over for sure. Or a Torchlight 2 port. But something new and unique would be even better.

We hunters are patiently waiting for Capcom to unleash it at this point: Whether if we get it in the form of a MHXX Switch version or MH5 for Switch.
The question is: When are we going to see it? There's a chance that we might see something MH related at E3 (besides Stories), but then it seems more likely that if there was something to be said, it won't be until the Tokyo Game Show where the game gets to truly thrive.
I know the moment it happens, it is going to be checkmate for me since I would have no more free time since I'd be hunting during breaks and hunting in HD when I get home from work. ^_^

I'm back into the MH fray with MH3U again. I NEED one on Switch. Hopefully the dream of MH5 built specifically for Switch in glorious HD will soon be a reality!
I thought this too but it isn't nearly as daunting as it seems. Online was super easy also to get groups.
