Hellgate london worth getting now?

i know this is from the makers of diablo2, and that it is more or less the same kill and loot system. i heard this game was released with lots of bugs and gliches. i wanted to know it the patched took care of that. also is it worth getting the game now? and are there still ppl playing it online?

hmm online is dead..... that explain the price drop. is there LAN support?

anyway are the gliches and bugs fixed in the patches?

[QUOTE="mirgamer"]What the above guy said. Its dead. Unless you're living in Korea coz they are still supporting the game there. HanBitSoft took over the game from the previous guys (cant even remember their name).mf1986

No, it's all Flagship's fault. Biggest gaming company fail since Ion Storm Dallas.

It's still a buggy mess.

EA didn't have that much to do with the game, it was only a co-publisher in the beginning of the release, the other party was Namco bandai who ended up paying for the servers before the game went offline. The publishers don't deserve the blame, well if they did consider them a small fraction that wouldn't even matter to be the fault of the end of hellgate london.

The truth fault is the developers of the game itself; Flagship Studios. They tried to do too much and ended up with a lot of nothing. Because of that the game was released in most cases unplayable, unfinished, and with a foreign pricing model people were all too uncomfortable with.

The was to be a AAA game ended up looking like and feeling like a game made by amatuers and by the like. Especially for how much time they put into the games (I think i first heard about hellgate back in 2002-3) they really didn't seem to polish much of anything for the release.

Hellgate officially died before a full year since it's release. Fail on what could be considered on cosmic scales. I'm pretty sure Bill Roper drinks himself to sleep or does drugs just to catch some Zs. Other people in the industry may feel his pain, but probably not sympathetic enough to keep anymore hope in him excluding the few he's working with now.

Online is completely shut down, and there is no LAN. If you are looking for a decent single player A-RPG it's worth a play through.dnuggs40

It was never "worth getting". There are better rpg games then this generic borefest.

ok i know i shouldn't be here cus i hate the game..i thought i should warn you..its a bad game unfortunately..

No, it's not worth getting it now unless you are looking for 2-4 hours of soulless shooting/slashing. After that, you've seen everything and will probably disinstall it as soon as you quit.

its a pretty decent sp experience.. although a coop or lan feature would make it more wantable

It's definitely worth picking up. Great single-player game, like a new 3D diablo. If you've played D2 to death, then you'll have a blast. Don't listen to the people above, who have probably never even played it.krazyorange

The difference between D2's success and HG:L's success says a lot about how clueless your statements are, Mr. Presumptuous Unfounded Presumptions.

My friend plays it and says the SP is alright. It's still buggy and like mentioned already, the multiplayer has long been dead and shutdown.

If you want a game like Diablo 2, try Titan Quest. Hellgate's multiplayer was completly shutdown, and it's singleplayer doesn't live up to expectations.

You're right; I forgot that financial success is the true determinate of quality. Thanks for reminding me, Mr. Clueless Statement Rebutter Whose Statements Are Unfounded and Absurd.krazyorange

I didn't say "financial" anywhere, maybe you also need a pair of glasses :lol:. D2 is superior to HG:L in almost every aspect except for graphics (and still beats it with its art), saying "it's a new 3D Diablo" is just so utterly wrong I can't fathom where did you take that out from :lol:

Nevertheless, if the principles that relate D2's SP to its MP would have worked as good in HG:L, it would have been a financial success no matter the bugs/glitches/missing skins/a whole missing chapter (!)/etc.

Or maybe the hardcore D2 players simply couldn't stand at the idea of a full-3D environment compared to its "predecessor"...uhh, right?

I still don't understand what's up with the gay innuendoes in Hellgate.

I bet the voice actors were instructed to mock the dialogue in Mad Max 2 and 3.

It's basically Diablo, so it's not a good game at all.
