Team Diablo III, Torchlight 2 or Path of Exile?

Since these are all listed as MMO on this site (I know they are not MMOs) I figure this is the place to post this.
I have played the beta for all three of these now. I actually like them all to a degree. I already have my copy of Diablo III. I gave away my beta account for PoE because I wanted to wait until it was more developed, but I liked some of it. I'm currently playing the Torchlight 2 beta as I just got in thanks to this site.
Path of Exile...
is rough around the edges but has potential and the closer view kinda bugs me a little. There is a lack of variety in item appearance as well. The skill system however is truely unique and the passive skill grid thingy is really good, these are both fun to play around with.
Diablo III...
is good and nicely polished but the change in skill system is a downer for me, as is not being able to have access all your skills at the same time or being able to make your character truely unique. Great voiceovers, best graphics, well established IP with a better ongoing narrative than the others.
Torchlight 2...
seems to be the middle man and ticks all the boxes for me, it's far closer to Diablo II than Diablo III is (except being the established IP that is Diablo of course). It's not as customizable in the skills department as PoE but is more so than Diablo III. The item appearance customization is on a par with Diablo III, yet Diablo III has the better graphics and better design. The pet system is unique to Fate 1 + 2 and Torchlight 1 + 2 (same developers I believe?), it certainly has it's place in this kind of game.
I've got to give it to Torchlight 2. I will be playing all of them though.
All just my opinion of course.

I will play all of them at one point or another, Really enjoying the T2 beta this weekend. I don't see why people choose to play one and then decide they have to hate the others. But hey, it happens......People are morons.
Im Team Edward!
D3. No contest.
Both PoE and T2 will be worth playing, but they aren't in the same league as D3.
I'll be thoroughly enjoying all three of these titles. I was pleasantly surprised with Path of Exile and have been a Torchlight fan for a long time now. I spent most of college playing D2 12 years ago, so basically i love ARPGS and all three of these games will be outstanding. On a side note, my experience with Path of Exile was heightened big time by rolling the Two Steps From Hell album Invincible instead of the in game music. Made a huge difference.
I'm on team hack'n'slash, three in one year! Awesome sauce! Great year for gamers.
if theyre good quality games then bring on all 3 baby.
I used to be a huge Diablo fan, yet I can't help but think....they seem to have taken all the Diablo out of Diablo III, so....I'm still buying it, but I'm not very excited about it. Torchlight, however, was a fave of mine too and I think T2 will be true to Torchlight, so I am looking forward to it much more than D3. I am, however, buying both. Path of Exile....I have no strong feelings for and will give it a pass.

Diablo 3 .. good polished game
Torchlight 2 .. dunno yet .. but Torchlight 1 is very repetitive and the combat/skills is not the fun (for me).
Path of Exile .. i will wait & see.
end of the day, what's the whole point for this poll? seriously what is main objective?
Wanna know something funny? I got TERA, GW2, and going to get Diablo3 and Torchlight2. I live for games!
I play a bit of PoE at the moment. I like it. I already pre purchased both Diablo 3 and Torchlight 2. So I guess i'll play all 3 of them. But not at the same time ofcourse!
I haven't played either of these games, but I have a huge grudge against Perfect World Entertainment which is publishing Torchlight II. I'm not saying the game is good or bad, but I have become very warry of anything and everything PWE ever touches. I can only hope that this game has a great future ahead of it. Diablo 3 is something I'll give a try in a few days.
^^ This right here in my opinion is what proper gamers are doing. I love this attitude, much better than sitting on internet forums whining about how shit everything is.
Does there need to be a point? Just thought it'd be fun to see what everything thinks.
lol i've done the same, I'll be getting TSW as well.
I haven't been able to try out T2 yet but played a fair bit of POE yesterday and after playing the D3 beta it just didn't really appeal to me. It is a bit of fun but it's just not a game with endless resources like D3, with the polish and the graphics etc. I will be playing D3 and likely T2 because from what I've seen it does look good.

I feel bad supporting Blizzard. Don't ask me why, but I just do.
TL2 and POE all the way for me.
Looking forward to EQL and EQN.
Going to go with Torchlight 2, they earned respect when they said "no RMT" and "single player offline play" and sticking to their guns.
From what it appears D3 and TL2 have both bit more childish approach,cartoonish graficks,characters are are uber destroying machines killign easilly everything in their way. POE though seems to be more dark,dreadfull and mature in its approach with great emphasis and variety on character development which i value above all. Thus i voted for POE.
Agreed.
TEAM JACOB!
I went for PoE mainly due to the fact that I like the skill system over TL2 and D3 and prefer the aethetics as well. Also it's nice that when you provide feedback on the game the devs actually respond in a friendly manner and take your feedback on board, GL doing that with anyone in Blizzard.
Also the major reason for me not even buying d3 is that pretty much whatever I think I may have achieved with D3 it will all pretty much be negated by the fact some guy can just buy whatever he wants and then be in the same boat as me. It's a gear based game at the end of the day for the most part and while skill might be involved in PvP gear still makes a hell of a difference.. oh wait.. no PvP and launch??.. yeah ok..
Thanks Blizzard for taking away our sense of achievement. No, really.. it's ok! We didn't want to feel rewarded anyway! Honest!
Total scumbags, couldn't even come up with a decent way of preventing RMT without also destroying everyones sense of achievement in the process. Lazy, lazy design. I cannot and will not reward such lazyness from game devs.
Repetitious clicking is not for me.
My blog is a continuing story of what MMO's should be like.
Playing both D3 nd TL2.
Grim Dawn, the next great action rpg!

I have to say Torchlight 2's Matt Uelmen appeals me quite much... I'm eager to listen to his new stuff.
PoE also has its charms - the skill tree in there is quite gigantiquely unique.
Titles worth watching.
But heh, D3 in 2 days
