I was very hyped for the original game, pre-ordered, played it for 1 hour and never touched it again, one of the most dismal piss games I ever bought. I think the worst games i ever paid for was probably this, Underworld Ascendant, then D3. I never bothered with the Korean rebuild, and the whole project just came off as mismanaged new business and budget by industry veterans, a not even halfway complete game was shipped with empty promises and no patching.
Kind of similar story to Underworld Ascendant (which kills me given I consider the 1993 games a top 10 of all time game release). Yet they had no money or time to actually develop that game where these guys pissed away a truckload of publisher dollars).
i didn't find hellgate that bad myself. i actually thought it was pretty good in many respects.. but it did have a lot of problems and didn't really capitalize on most of its own effort. it was worth playing more than 1 hour of it at least
not a fan of roper at this point either way, it's clear the creative efforts of D2 just wasn't really his effort alone.
For sure, the name, setting, dev team (A lot of the Diablo 2 leads), and that cinematic was used to market the game = insta-preorder.
but look at the game.. there were like 3 enemy models, a subway, alley and library map in the game.
It released the same year as BioShock, Mass Effect, Portal, Ep2, the Witcher (which was a bit of a technical mess on NVN2 engine but still much better game) etc.

not going to lie man, out of all the these games, the one i most actually want to replay is hellgate. i'm still livid they didn't include lan-play and left in that shitty memory leak.
wasn't the best solo game.

Same. I was actually in the beta and it took a a couple of hours to reach the point of "uninstall, delete, forget". Such a waste...
Shieeet all I remember about this game is so many nerds sucking its dick and when I tried it it was the most boring janky ass piece of shit I ever touched. I felt like I was trolled but at least I didnt pay for it
