More Hellgate: London Subscriber Details [Oct 29, 2007, 8:37 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The
Hellgate: London Website has a post with a general outline of what is
described as the "TONS of new content for subscribers" to Flagship's coming
action/RPG (thanks
Voodoo Extreme), saying paying subscribers will get access to additional
weapons, monsters, and even character classes, among other things. This
additional subscriber content is one of the topics in the
Q&A with Bill Roper
on Shacknews, an article-format conversation about premium content, as well
as changes being made to the game based on feedback from the beta.
Finally tried the demo.
Yup, just what the videos showed. Combat is, at best, a combination of a PS1 game and a MMORPG. Neither of those have particularly good combat. One is archaic, the other is played for reasons other than combat.
So this game isn't about combat. That means it's about being a lab rat and repeating the same dull process over and over in hopes of a new reward, ie weapon.
It's the heaping pile of crap that it's appeared to be ever since they started showing videos of it several E3s ago.
Such a shame. It was such an awesome premise and that initial CGI trailer they released was great.
