This is not about the subscription. I am just curios if anyone is buying Hellgate for the single player?

Thanks

I'm done shelling out money because of previews and dev-payed content "peeks".

So, no. Until the flood of reviews starts, I'm staying away from HGL.

Same with Witcher

ill probably touch the single player, but most likely going multi w/o subscription. I mean most of what the subscription allows is not much. Create guilds, events and 23 char slot isn't something ill pay 10$ a month for. so ill freebie the multi

Getting both The Witcher(UK Version) and Hellgate CE this week, although The Witcher probably won't come until next week since there is high demand for the European version. I recently just got an email from Gogamer.com stating that my order will ship on November 2nd instead of the 31st, and could be pushed back further upon notice :( I think The Witcher's going to be the sleeper of the year and surprise a lot of people. It's getting excellent reviews across the board in Europe.

Yep, Hellgate is on my list of games to get. I won't subscribe though unless they broaden the scope to beyond streets and corradors. The randomly generated environments are cool, but unless they throw in some impressive, wide open areas, I'll get bored way too quick.

The beta diminished any and all possibilities in which I would buy this game. I can't think of a game this disappointing since Daikatana.

I totally agree with you, simply the best RPG of the year so far, doubt HGL can beat it.

I wasnt to impressed with the demo. I think I'm going to stay away from Hellgate till I see a price drop, or pick it up on ebay for cheaper in about a month or so. Until then, I'm going to stick with The Witcher. I've been more impressed with it, plus, it should take me awhile to beat it, which will allow for that price drop, and by that I mean price drop on ebay. I just picked up Jericho for $35 shipped on ebay, and it just came out, and thats what I plan on doing with Hellgate.

I haven't made my mind up yet. I went in and pre-ordered The Witcher last Friday, saw Hellgate: London and just thought "meh".

I'll have to wait on a few reviews; GS and a few other sites, as well as user opinion, before making up my mind. I'd had my mind set on buying it before the demo, which put me off it a little, but there's still hope.

delirin

And if you are wrong, and the game recieves both reviewer and customer satisfaction what then delirin? Not "OMG best thing since sliced bread" but just positive feedback and the game does well, what will you say then?

Will you admit your rediculous and immature crusade against the game was wrong and silly, or will you fall back on "all those people and reviewers are just stupid"?

I'm not on a crusade, I just like to brighten your day,as you skip around all day praising HG:L as if you were a majority stockholder.

I don't care about the reviews, either way, they don't make or break a game for me. This game is simply overhyped garbage with a monthly fee. period.

And yet I just said the Wicher would recieve higher score on reviews then HG:L...so how am I running around like I was a majority stockholder?

Me = normal guy

You = On an immature and obvious crusade for MONTHS now. Not just for a few weeks, but MONTHS.

Sorry dude, the evidence speaks for itself. You are on a crusade, I am just an average joe who likes the game.

OR; more likely they actually PLAYED it and the decision wasn't based on the fact that the monthly fee is 50% of your allowance.

I've been a gamespot subscriber for YEARS, and post when I see a topic that interests me. You are in virtually EVERY HG:L thread I've seen bud, and don't need to defend my posting. As to calling me immature... pot, kettle anyone? I hold interest in this topic... because the sub fee is ridiculus, hence, I will post when I feel like it ;)

The game sucks, and I'm going to say so as long as I'm a member here ;) .

BTW you != normal guy

you = delusional fanboi on a mission to prove to the world that hellgate is an awesome game weather they like it or not.

I'd love to continue with you on another one of your circle arguments, but I have to go to work so I can buy games that are actually worth paying for... peace.

Yeah, YEARS... 442/443 posts bashing HG:L. Liking the game has nothing to do with being a fanboy, it means we LIKE THE GAME. Do you hang out in every post related to a game you don't like, or just HG:L? That makes you a troll, which is against the forum TOS.

delirin

You can make all the claims in the world it still won't change the FACTS of the subject.

Fact:

I just said The Witcher would review better then HG:L, I think that right there shows I am not a fanboy. A Fanboy defends a game and pretends its the best thing since sliced bread. I neither make ANY claims of the sort, and recognize when I see BETTER games out there.

You on the otherhand, have been hanging out in the HG:L forum for MONTHS. Remember, this is a game you supposedly think is garbage. What is your motivation for this? Yup, its OBVIOUS, you are a troll on a crusade. You have been on this crusade before the BETA WAS EVEN OUT!

Of course I am in every HG:L thread, I ENJOY THE GAME. Why are YOU in every HG:L thread? Yup, to troll and spread your baloney ;)

And yes, I am a normal guy. I go to forums for things I enjoy. I don't bother with games I think are garbage, that would be stupid and immature. You do what those kiddies on the console forums do, which is hang around forums for games you hate for MONTHS to trash it and it's users. That's NOT normal, and thats IMMATURE.

These are the facts of the situation delirin, and no matter what baseless and absurd things you say and pull from thin air, will never change them.

ROFL...I just skimmed his profile. On the FIRST FIVE PAGES (out of 13)of his posting history, 59 of his posts were bashing HG:L :P

Quite a bit of attention for a game that he feels is garbage huh? I wonder how many posts you can find of weirjf and I dedicated to games we think is garbage?

It's quite obvious whats going on here folks, delirin has completely and utterly lost his mind. Seriously, calling people fanboys for saying they like the game? And yet he has devoted almost half his enitre posting history to bashing game he doesn't like?

Ya...is it any real mystery who is the immature one?

I'll probably pick it up, so long the game is worth the money without the subscription. The demo wasa lot of fun.

Thanks, everyone for responding to my OP. Since I started it I will sound off.

Yes, I have pre-ordered the game, UPS just deliveried the box as I type this. I was in the beta and played it for 3 weeks. Just a run down as to why I think the game is worth the money. I will be subscribing also.

Single player will be updated with the subs content at a delayed rate. With a single player I can play even if the servers are down. NICE.

Subs pay for the on going content. I don't care about the feature set that you get or don't get with your sub. I want ongoing content. If after 6 months I don't feel the sub is worth it I will cancel. This is a new buisiness model I want to show my support for it. Ten dollars a month is less then I spend on energy drinks in a weekend so....

The community that is developing, if the beta is an example, is a great group of people. Since the game is M for mature there seems to be a more mature group of peeps. There were a few annoying people but overall great fun...

I love the pick up and play aspect of the game. The seperate loot drops for party members, the fact that you can solo the game without a party, the ability to break items down which cuts down on the trips back to town....stuff like that. It's hard to put in words but the game really supports both those people that like to group up and those that don't. I happen to like both when the mood strikes...so this is a huge draw for me.

The feedback from the devs and the feeling that as players we have a say about how this game turns out. During the beta the feedback from the devs was timely and made it feel like we beta tester were a part of something. I hope that this continues when the game goes retail.

The humor in the game. This game doesn't take itself too seriously. I love that. IT'S A GAME.

I can't stress the ongoing content and the potential that this has. Imagine if Farcry had ongoing development. I am so exciting to see this in action. People are complaing about the skills or the balancing but what they don't realize is this game, if the business model works, will have ONGOING development. Not a expansion in 6 months but ongoing....I don't know how to explain any better.

Not a fanboy....if it flops then so be it but if it succeeds, well I want to be there for that.

Thanks for all the replies.

I was in beta for approx 2 - 3 weeks also. My pre-order for the Collector's edition is on the truck should be here soon, tracking shows it out for delivery.

I agree I think the game will be great, I was having alot of fun playing the beta, especially the hunter class.

I also plan on buying the founders offer, $150 1 time subscription fee.
