Hellgate Global
|
I'm sorry what but did someone say they played HGL for a couple of years? How did you even manage to do that?
I remember when it was coming out, reputedly better then Diablo, a great if not better alternative then WoW. Then it came out, and the complete garbage of a game that it was out with it. Anyone remember those junk ass dungeons that all looked hte same and were so basic and junk. Man that game pissed me off after so much hype about how good it was gonna be, and it just.. really really sucked. Game was more like Alpha ot me when it was released... some items weren't even skinned!!! ....._______

Didn't mean my post to come off as rude, I just hate that game, I placed so much of my hopes and dreams into it. All crushed.
But who knows maybe when I get bored I'll give it a go... I've activated my WoW account for a couple months waiting for all htese games and betas.. need something to satisfy my loot craving :) ....._______

" Gonna have to disagree here, HG:L was supposed to be Diablo with guns, and GA is about as close to Diablo as Mario Kart. Last edited by Lmaoboat#4694 on Oct 14, 2011, 1:21:02 AM

"I only played it to level 20 or so, but I found that combat too bland for a proper FPS, and the RPG elements to threadbare for a proper MMO. Epic loot also seemed to be only 10% better than the basic stuff, and if you're going to have it that conservatively balanced, you might as well not have loot at all.

I have global agenda also)) It's fun. I enjoy hellgate because me and a few buddies just wreck demons for fun for an hour or so a day - can't complain :). Both games are great to pass the time imo.
:) Oh, and my name on hellgate is Sofistika now (and sofistica). Had to re-create my blademaster since I was specced terribly and wasn't about to pay 20$ to respec o.o; I am not a female, but I really wish I was. <3

" Hellgate was actually quite a good ARPG, in my opinion. I never felt that they were trying to go any further than "diablo with guns", and the gameplay always worked well as a result. Of course, plenty of people came into it expecting an MMOFPS, and clearly, HG wasn't the game they were hoping for, but it did have a number of strong points. The problem with Hellgate Global is the way Hanbitsoft are running it. There's no centralised team, and communication, both in house and to the player base just isn't there. |

I've been playing Hellgate for years... No lie. I played it online when it was under FSS, and I've been playing it regularly with single-player mods ever since. There are some excellent fan patches with bug fixes, balancing, and content additions that make it extremely fun to play (even though I thoroughly enjoyed it before). You can even make your own modifications if you know what you're doing.
My main issue with HGG is the extreme nerf to gundian builds. It was always my favorite way to play, but on-hits now do such pathetic damage, and have cooldowns... Very lame. The game isn't pay-to-win like everyone keeps saying. At the worst, it's pay-to-be-slightly-better. No high-level character is getting an extreme boost from any of the pets, and saving mods on removal? Really? At high levels, you very rarely remove mods, and they're so damn cheap in the marketplace that it's no big deal if one breaks. Hell, you can get all that stuff for free on a PlayRohan account from free offers and surveys, anyway. Closed Beta/Alpha Tester back after a 10-year hiatus.
