I've been intrigued by this game for awhile, so today I decided to buy it off of eBay. I got a brand-new copy for $16.00. What should I expect from this game? I've heard that it's quite buggy but extremely fun.

I know about the servers. I heard that the single player was still a blast.

I didn't enjoy single player. It seemed weird that you could walk right through NPC's, and their missions were really really silly which didn't help the atmosphere.

It's not awful. The game lacked a lot of balance and some abilities don't work. The good news is that it's been picked up by a Korean developer I believe and they have plans to resurrect the game and create a new installment called Hellgate: Tokyo for their asian fanbase as well as having all the content from Hellgate: London if I remember my articles right.

I like the game, but yeah mp is dead. Single player still abit fun though if you never played it. You should also install Hellgate: Revival for a better sp experience.

Haters gonna hate. Hellgate simply didn't live up to its massive, epic, hugely disproportional pre-launch hype. If it wasn't hyped at all, everyone would have hailed it as a great game. If you like light role-playing (and I do mean light, unless you're big on imagination), a decent world, good lore, and a wide range of play styles, you should enjoy Hellgate. Don't go in expecting the best game ever and it will be a great experience.

I liked Hellgate.Actually l 'm repeating it this period.

Hellgate didn't live up to it's expectation about being a diablo killer.So what...

Apart from multiplayer which was dissapointing in sp everything worked just fine.

If you like killing monsters and looting(looting here is massive) then you should enjoy it.

I am not a hater, it is just reality that the game was purely bad. The man asked, and i answered.
