One user comments that mods and patches will help the overall game release and that we should have patience.

It's not a matter of me having patience. It's a matter of consumers being willing to give them a chance. Which is becoming doubtful. Not because what I think but what the mood is around the web.


It seems the Beta > Demo. Everyone is questioning Flagship Studios. Some are saying 'they ran out of money' and they are doing things at a minimal level right now, including not updating stuffs online and keeping gamers informed, in a timely manner.


Again from the source :
On the other hand, the demo simply doesn't offer any sort of decent gameplay that could tell me whether I'd like this one or not in the long run. In addition, yeah, Hellgate does lack polish. The performance is shitty even on a decent system and in DX9. I guess it does feel like a beta in that way and to think it's already gone gold, doesn't really fill me with much hope.

I am with you 100%

Mediocre and dated gameplay in the demo, and then incredibly high-octance action in the full release? How this is making any sense?

The demo is totally screwed. Yes, demo is NOT how the final release will be but the bloody purpose of the demo is to (read my words one-by-one) :

HELP US DECIDE WHETHER TO BUY THE FINAL GAME OR NOT

And this demo absolutely blew its chances on me...

Nothing convinces me to buy the game. Not even the 'other' version. This is how much I think of the game after a week. And yes Beta > Demo. But the Demo is what I got. Nuff' said. I'll be forgetting this game.

Looks like someone is buying this game...
E peto shey !!

Try the Demo. You don't want to know.

PC Gamer recently gave Hellgate:London an 69 out of 100. Its cited reasons for the low score were its lack of solid and fresh take on the Diablo gameplay style. The review also pointed out the lack of a solid single player or story and the murky future of the subscription service.

nay.. its 89, great score. must be vandals. no citation though..
