I played the beta for a few days and am in the process of getting the demo. I love this game, I feel like most people feel like it's overshadowed by Crysis and ut3 but I'm way excited.

I had that error, I re-unpacked the installer and it worked fine

demo was fun, but seemed a bit short (unless the game continues after the covent place, i couldn't find anywhere else to go)

Well I'm expecting a 8 - 8.5 from it. Here's my views, lol. I was playing as the Hunter (Gun girl)

(Running it on Medium settings)

Intel Duo Core 2 (2.0GHz)

ATI x1400 Grpahics card

1 GB Ram

There are still glitchs through out, like walking thorugh NPCs in the towns, the leaping guys (similar to the leapers in Diablo II Desert) glitch up when they jump bya wall.

Action is slow pace through the first levels, which is kinda like Diablo II anyways. Same with the Zombies not being that smart. Altough when you get in some of the dungens there are nice swarms that reallu shows the true light to what this game might do in later levels.

I don't know if I like the Shield you have or not. You get hit 5 times and it goes away then you start losing health. Then it Regnerates. Don't know if its good or bad...

The action and leveing up system is nicely done and I like the skills I got to use. Hopfully there is more action because I only got hit around 10-15 times through out a hour of playing.

Couldn't find anymore quests and couldn't find out where to go next (killed all in that tunnel that leads to a red thing with computers all around)

But, SO MANY SIMILARIES TO DIABLO! Which I like! since i was a huge fan of that.

I'm ggetting this game since it looks promising and has nice gamplay! Woo.

Can Beta testers share some views on the game, like does the action and AI get good? Lots of intense action?

I got to the part right after you got the things to open the broken portal. I couldn't figure out where to go once I went through the portal.

To be honest, I didn't enjoy it much at all... and yes, I did enjoy games like Diablo. There just wasn't enough substance there, I could very easily see this getting repetitive. Maybe I'll be proven wrong with the full version I pre-ordered, but so far, I don't like what I see.

I liked the demo and I didnt know much about this game. I really like the marksman but the thing that throws me off is the subscription. I know you can play non subscription but you get shafted on certain things. I would much rather have them of had it like GW and pay for another chapter or expansion. I am not a cheapskate or poor but I don't like paying to play with monthly fees. Sometimes I don't play some of my games for months because i'm playing other games etc...and I really like not throwing money down the drain every month if i'm paying to play. Guild Wars fits my schedule perfectly. I really liked this demo though and I highly recommend it to people that like GW and want a sci fi future feel.

Sorry for coming off as lazy, but could someone break down as clearly as possible what subscribers get and what non-subscribers dont get?

Too long to list.

*EDIT*

Thought this was interesting... from PCGamer.

"In a recent, soon to be released review, PC Gamer gave Hellgate:London an 89 out of 100, just shy of the editor's choice award."[1

I like the demo so far. I just got into the beta so i'll play around in that to see if I will buy or not. I played WoW for 2 years so this will be a refreshing change.

Thats the main reason i dont think i'll be purchasing this game at all, the fact you get shafted as a non-subscriber is one but the "pay to play" style annoys me. Like you i also take breaks from certain games for a few months and play other games and i dont like to waste a subscription i haven't used fully.

It's a pity Hellgate chose to follow the pay-to-play style as the game looked good, but for that reason alone i wont buy this game.

Played the first 10 minutes of it, and I was not impressed.. It just seems like I have played this game before in the form of Guild Wars..

I've played the beta on and off for weeks and was pretty let down by it. However, I was still hoping that this supposed super-secret build the developers were keeping from us would completely change things come release.

It has not. I will not be following through on my pre-order. I was so hyped for this game too.... :(

This game might be a huge flop waiting to happen :(.

I downloaded the demo and it only took me 35min. to download, and I still cannot believe I wasted my bandwidth downloading this. The controls are clumsy, the gameplay already got repetitive after only 15min. and it is just not fun. The enemies look like they are from a 1995 game and it was just disappointing. And the sad part is is that I didn't have any expectations for this game, yet it still disappointed me. The textures look nice, but that is not enough to save this game. I see it getting AA tops.
