Did this really come from the developers of Diablo?
Okay saying "really" is an overstatement, but this game could have been better.
Hellgate: London is a graphically amazing game. The 3D engine, radomized maps, and great sound effects are all the postives of this game. Furthermore, there are several different kinds of gruesome creatures each with their own horrific sounds and appearances. The environment is very detailed.
It ends here.
The beta and game were no different. Hellgate needed a lot of patches. I am writing in small sentences. I am quite dissapointed. Sure the first 5 hours were very intriging and fun, but after that the repititions start to get to you. Voice acting helps the hopeless story. I mean they could have done better of telling the story. But a book? I play games to stay away from books. This game is really hell on earth (sorry another overstatement...I am just full of them today).
Random RTS mission (the randomness of the sentences impasizes the randomness of the RTS mission...this kind of "random one" is not good).
Mostly you find yourself running around doing seemingly same missions but with different names. Money is easy to come by, but there is a problem about getting titles. Massive grind. It is too much.
If you want to play a MMO without a montly fee with some story, half decent graphics, a good community, and a grind that is approached in a much better way play Guild Wars.
Diablo fans should look somewhere else...
