Hellgate: London Review - 9.0 (Ripten)

Via Ripten:

"Hello, my name is Josh, and I'm an addict. The American Medical Association recently dismissed video game addiction by brushing it under the "further study needed" carpet. Had the proceedings gone the other way, gamers could have been diagnosed with a disease and treated accordingly.

Lucky thing the good doctors over at the AMA never got their hands on Hellgate, or I might be sitting in a shrink's office instead of writing this review. Yeah, it's that addicting."

Heard a lot of mix reviews about this game.

Leord6031d ago

This dude seems to have missed every single bug or flaw in the game. That is very refreshing, on the other hand! The game IS really good, I just wish it had received more polish and love before release.

Nostradavis6031d ago

He didn't miss the bugs. Check out his preview of the game.

Leord6031d ago

..let me rephrase that:

He does mention bugs, but that he haven't seen basically any (4 in 20 hours). I think it is refreshing, and gives balance that HGL go a 9/10, compared to some overly negative reviews, where the tester obviously was not a fan of the genre. Somewhere around 8, with a possibility to have been better if the game was more polished, is more what I would have liked to see.

17 Years Later, Hellgate: London Makes Surprise Return With New Game From Original Developer

IGN : Remember Hellgate: London? The dark fantasy action role-playing game came out in 2007 for PC, a year before developer Flagship Studios went bankrupt. Since then, various free-to-play and online revivals have come and gone. Now, 17 years after the release of Hellgate: London, it’s back.

I remember some friends and I all bought Hellgate: London day one because it was made by some original Diablo devs. We had fun playing it, good memories.

They actually are. It'll be a VR game. Not sure what Hanbitsoft is thinking. Supposedly Hellgate is doing GREAT in Korea, but not-so-much outside of it besides a fan revive called Hellgate: 2038. I'd actually love to see Bandai and the creators of DOOM team up for another rumble against Hell's forces.

Lon3wolf2287d ago

Indeed I wish they would, I'm really not interested in VR at the moment.

ThatDudeMunkee2287d ago

You and me both, Lon3wolf. I want a full new game or a REALLY good remaster. I think in today's market, it'd actually do a lot better under the proper team.

sampsonon2287d ago

i don't want another Doom game. i want Hellgate

Mulando2288d ago

Well Hellgate London had it's moments, but .. well not for the long run.

ThatDudeMunkee2287d ago

It's still alive, haha. There's a fan revival currently going on that just entered Open Alpha. I've actually tried it out. It's actually pretty solid and their servers are definitely as good as you'd hope for a private server.

bluefox7552288d ago

I enjoyed it. Felt like it was underrated.

sampsonon2287d ago

the atmosphere is incredible. f they remade the game with todays graphics but kept the actual look and feel of the game i would spend a ton of money on it. Engineer baby!!

amcka302288d ago

It's a shame Hellgate: London did so poorly. It was an interesting game, and well worth a sequel.

irishyort2288d ago

Never heard of it. What a shame :(

ThatDudeMunkee2287d ago

You can actually play it today! The fan revival has been a solid experience for me so far (aside from getting a good disc off Ebay or Amazon).

sampsonon2287d ago

can you link me the mod download for 2038 version please?

ThatDudeMunkee2287d ago

Just a note, you will need to make an account on their site, use a disc to install, and proceed from there.
