What do you guys think of Hellgate London?

Anyone actually bought the game? Can someone tell me if he liked it or not?

Now that a good portion of the bugs are fixed it really is a pretty good game for the style. Currently its my "I don't want to have to think about almost anything and just play a game, game."
If your into the hack and slash loot pinata' games like Diablo I would check it out.

Cool thanks, I do remember hearing about the game containing bugs but I am pretty sure all if not most bugs have been fixed.

Thanks man

Hellgate London is dead, for the time being. Flagship Studios recently laid off most of their staff and the future of the title is uncertain. Their Korean publisher was trying to buy the intellectual property rights, but I don't know how that turned out. I'm not sure if the multiplayer servers are still running, and if they are I wouldn't expect them to run for much longer. They already shut down the ability to subscribe, so yeah. I guess you could play single-player, but in all honesty - the game wasn't that fun.

Actually, this sparked me to do some research to get the latest, it looks like the servers are still running - though you probably still can't subscribe. Seems like Namco-Bandai may be taking over.

Wow that sucks, the game had allot of potential before it was released

Really? I didn't know that. That's pretty serious stuff.

I never subscribed to the game I just bought it to veg out and play single player.
If the servers were not operating still that would be odd since the 1.3 patch was just recently released.

It was an alright game. I played up to nightmare then quit. It was way too boring for me and the thought of doing all that stuff over again killed. If you decide to play it, it is best to have a couple people you can play with to help you enjoy the experience.

I bought Hellgate the day before Flagship went to shit. 
I've always said I have great timing.
I'm not sure if they servers are actually shut down, but for the life of me, I can't connect to them and I've tried all the fixes, so...
Should've returned the game.

Hellgate was a decent game that launched with severe bugs. It also failed to meet its potential. I felt it was worth buying it at a reduced rate $25 bones I paid. But would never be a founder or sub for that matter. As long as its free to play I may boot it up on occasion.

Does Hellgate have online fees? I've never quite understood what the game actually is

There is the option of online fees for extra content, but lets face it...  Not worth paying for.

Seeing as how Flagship just closed it's doors, it's hard to recommend to people picking the game up.  We've no clue how long the online portion will be available for much longer.

Yeah all of FSS staff was fired. The game itself is bad, but it did have a lot of potential.
I blame a lot of why it failed on the shitty management. Bill Roper is a fucking retard.
The monthly subscription thing was ridiculous as well they were throwing money at developing this game for the 360, when they haven't even fixed the PC version of it yet.

So all that Flagship drama is true then? I thought it wasn't confirmed or anything... I need to peep the forums I hadn't looked inna while. If I lose my characters I would have no reason to play again and will uninstall It I guess.
 This is the what directly from Flagship's site..

Hellgate London was a sort of OK game couldn't help me get interested more than like 4 hours I saw some controls and ideas tha twere a little better than diablo, but ultimately it still screwed up on a lot of things that kinda sucks on Diablo II (even though the game is great). Could have been much better and the whole subscription thing just sucked.

Hellgate London was pretty decent for what it was, but only if you didnt pay the fee. With Flagship tanking it will probably just fade into obscurity.

It's okay but felt unfinished.

They shouldve went with guild wars theory...Buy the game play online..Than do expansions with the added content..Guess Bill wanted to try a new thing..It was a good idea..Though the ideas didnt come fast enough..Plus like every one said it had a rough start..It wasnt as bad a game, as some of the users uptop said it was..Though i agree certain times it did get a tad boring..Plus the game didnt have enough london spots in it..I mean its suppose to be london an it had a few areas in the game...Not even the castle..Ah well here is to hoping Bill can do better with another ip..If he gets another shot..

It was an average game

I played the demo and had fun
did not buy it though

I thought about buying it as it's already bargain binned at $19.99.

Played a little bit, not bad but not great either.

Lots of hype, bad game after release

i've played my fair share and have failed to find that OMG I MUST PLAY MORE aspect of the game.  It's not addictive at all and it shipped with a TON of game killing bugs.

I was there on launch day ... with the collector's edition ... complaining ... like everyone else about how unpolished the game felt when it was released.  Being unable to subscribe for like ... a week because they fucked up the servers and couldn't apply the subscriptions to accounts.

It all really showed just how unprepared Flagship was for the pressures of going out and developing a real title on their own.  They should've stayed at Blizzard IMHO.

They had great ideas predasus..Cant blame them for trying..It wouldve been great...They just didnt do what blizzard normally does...Wait until its ready..They rushed the damn thing..

i agree 100% ... it really had a lot of potential

sorry if my post didn't reflect that

but yes ... hellgate london would have rocked face if it hadn't been rushed out the door by Mr. Roper and friends ... which is really kind of a contradiction given the release window for Diablo 2 ...

I thought it was pretty fun and I didn't play much of the online.  The online I did play was fun too, and had better loot drops than the single player.

It has some great loot and a pretty cool item upgrade system.  The artistic design of the armor is some of the best I've seen, especially for the melee characters..  All of it makes you look like a complete and total badass.

My best character was my level 22 Marksman:

I have said in a few other posts on the site.

Worst. Game. Ever. 

Save your hard earned money , especially in a world of 4 dollar gasoline.  At least dont spend you money on this.

I brought a copy and its allright. but it hasnt compelled me enough to really play it alot

Wow that blows about Flagship. They had potential.
