Buggy Disappointment.

User Rating: 6.5 | Hellgate: London PC
I like this game. Rather, I *want* to like this game. I've already invested a number of hours already leveling my character to 15 but enough is enough. There are just way too many bugs getting in the way of what could be a very entertaining and long lived game. It is very unstable, and crashes more often than not--the only game in my vast library to give me this much trouble. About every two hours, like clockwork, I get "memory exhausted, application will now close" and it just shuts down. I have 2GB of system ram, and over 1GB of video ram. Online multiplayer, although fun for grouping with friends, is too laggy in peak times to be enjoyable. Rather, it's a frustration all in itself. If they fix the bugs and crashes, I will go back to playing it. Right now, it's going to sit on my shelf instead of being installed on my hard drive. Overall, Hellgate London is a disappointing effort after all the years of hype.
