[QUOTE="dnuggs40"][QUOTE="delirin"] What I think is childish would be taking criticism of a game so personally.
BTW it is garbage bud ;)
edit: BTW I'd kill for a D3. Not every last person that had his hands on diablo 3 is gone, and they've still got the most kick ass cinematics team in the industry, I still have hopes.

No, whats childish is running around for months bashing a game you don't even like ;)
Whats childish is hanging around forums for games you consider "garbage" trolling.
Whats childish is making gross over generalizations and brash comments for ones personal enjoyment at the expense of other people.
What you do is childish. I simply point out the FACTS, like the actual reviews it recieves ;)
Grow up derilin...you have been lurking around the HG:L forums FOR MONTHS NOW, bashing the game and the people who enjoy it. You don't see me on forums for games I don't like, especially for MONTHSdo you? Yup, thats because I am not a petty troll kid.
I'm quite grown up, thanks. Personally, I think we disagree on the definition of childish... as with everything else. Starting flame wars... imo is childish, replying to your flames might put me in that boat with you but I really couldn't care less.
I see a comment about HG:L, I comment. I don't like the game, I'm going to say that. Your "facts" aren't going to change that I feel the game is garbage. I'm not wrong in saying so... it is garbage. It's mediocre in general, overhyped, has the nads to charge for content other games have offered for free... and is riding on the coat tails of diablo to bost sales.
I also praise games I do like. What is childish is perusing the forums toating one premature pc gamer review over and over.
You are incorrect, and that's a fact. You know why? Because you are calling a game "garbage" that hasn't even come out yet. Even if you did play the beta, that wasn't even half the content, or complete game for that matter, not even a quarter of the content once things start to roll out further down the road. I think it's extremely premature to judge this game, and especially use words like garbage before it ever has a chance.
When a person purchases Hellgate London from the store, they are getting a single player game that lasts for around 50 or so hours depending on play time, and countless more playthroughs as different classes if so desires. It also allows you to play your character online, for free of course. That to me sounds like an amazing deal, and exceeds at what all the other models for single player RPG's do. How many games can you think of that provide that amount of hours of gameplay? And all for $50 bucks.
Where it excels is the fact that you have the option of multiplayer, which I plan on taking advantage of. End of story, that's worth every penny of $50 bucks, and PC Gamer thinks so too. Now, If you wanna subscribe for new content, that's a whole seperate beast into itself. You or I can't name one other game that will give content for free on a weekly and monthly basis, none. Essentially you are asking an entire company, who will be working 24/7 on this game, to provide content free of charge. That's ridiculous thinking, and I'm sure once you think about it, you'll understand as a rational human being. Now, you can argue the fact that you should be given more player slots as part of the game, or complain about the 10 bucks being a little too much, but to complain about the fact that Flagship is giving the option of keeping this game alive so to speak is just ridiculous.
Most other games, Neverwinter Nights 2($50 USD upon release) and Gothic 3($40 USD upon release) for example are near dead from last year, and will never be as supported or as big as Hellgate. What's wrong with keeping a game going, and building a community? That's exactly what Hellgate is attempting, growing a community that's not even mandatory either! In a way, Flagship should have just come right out and said everyone's paying $10 bucks a month, like it or leave it, no single player, no multiplayer component, screw off. And you know what? Nobody would be complaining. Because they want to offer a new way of delivering content, all of a sudden it's a problem. If it works, it works, if not, then it's back to the drawing board.
Lastly, with Guild Wars, you are paying for expansion packs once a year if you kept up with the *CONTENT* of the game over the years, so why all of a sudden is this different? It's just a different business model that no one else is doing. Most games are usually pay to play, pay for expansions, or microtransactions in order to support the game. Hellgate is a hybrid in a way, and like all other things new, it's causing people to go overboard. I'll never understand why people are in an uproar over choice. If you played Neverwinter Nights 2 or Gothic 3 last year, this and The Witcher is this years's PC RPG's, that's all.
I say, enough with the hating, give the game a chance, and at least see what the reviews across the board have to say about it. Consensus will make or break this game in the end, and it's what the people want that will be the ultimate outcome.
