Well, it really isnt as bad as people say. But definitely NOT worth the 9.99 fee for "subscriber benefits". Don't worry though, you can still play without subscribing.

If u enjoy holding down both mouse buttons and walking forward, then this game is for you. But in my case i didnt like it, tried different classes and still disliked it, gonna try to sell it to someone soon.

Simple answer is no!

The game in my opinion is a real dissapointment. The dungeons use the same textures, the quests are repetitive, there's stupid bugs like if you examine too many inventory items the game crashes.

I bought it and it and to sum up my experiance, nope don't go for it yet.

It was pretty repetitive and the areas were pretty bland and uninteresting.

Only if you love gear grinding... cause that is all the game is... but considering the small player base i think they game may be doomed. I enjoy it for what it is, but I don't pay the monthly.

Wow like everyone else NO! When I first heard of Hellgate, well I was giddy as a child in Disney Land -Florida that is- and spent the many years eagerly waiting. Then it came out, ofc I bought the game and I just flamed with disappointment, cursed at how shabby the game was.

If you first can get past the buggy/glitchy nature, second the grindfest of pure boredom, third the setting is nothing like London at all- it may resemble parts of the city but its all random really. Aside from other problems the game is an utter horror of crap. Plus way too easy.... I hate you Flagship!

two words: loading screens.

To elaborate, I spent more time looking at that damn loading screen then playing the freaking game.

If you enjoyed Diablo II, get it.

If you haven't played Diablo II and liked it, don't get Hellgate and find yourself a cheap copy of DII first.

If you liked Diablo II, by the time you get bored with it, Hellgate will be cheaper and you will be satisfied.

I enjoyed it, but it does get old quick. If you liked the Diablo series it is very similar. The major difference is that it is a 3D game versus an isometric game and you use WASD controles instead of point and click movement.

just to make sure you got the message.... NO!

I thought, great, made by the same guys behind diablo 2 should be awesome. I was very disappointed and its been sitting on my shelf since i bought it. Everytime i played it i spent half the time completing repetitive quests and the rest of the time restarting the game after constant crashes.

me too. Some people just don't know when enough is enough.....in regards to power.

As for Hellgate, what I said earlier is definitely the best course of action. It's not a bad game, but if you had no appreciation for Diablo 2, you won't have any for Hellgate. I'm assuming that's where most people went wrong - they assumed it would deviate from the "level grind" formula - it doesn't. But for those of us who loved that kind gameplay and couldn't get enough, Hellgate was the perfect way to spend time other than level up another D2 character doing Baal runs.

If you have friends to play online with, yes. It's more than worth it - it's great.

If you don't have friends to play online with, no. Skip it.

A mate bought it, got sick of it and is lending it to me. I've only played a little bit and it seems pretty fun. Not sure i'd pay top dollar for it though. Maybe wait for the price to drop. Havn't played online or anything, just the single player.

Not comparing as you think...but those are the games I've just finished playing, and of course I was expecting something cool from Hellgate London, I didn' buy it hopefully, just saw my friend playing this game in his computer...no way.
