Yeah, but the difference is... it's the Korean market, and if there's one thing Koreans know -- it's how to make a successful MMO, something to swim above the sea of OTHER titles. They'll take Hellgate and keep supporting it, keep adding new content, which is something Flagship failed to do.

Monthly Subscription and Free Basic Content will be the two business models adopted in the game.


http://news.mmosite.com/content/2009-11-13/20091113030637844,1.shtml Shitty site but I can't be arsed to find another one with the news.

Hopefully the free content won't be too limited but wouldn't surprise me if it is.


Colour me cynical, but this is a bit like a dirty ho being passed around by a bunch of pimps. The first pimp, Flagship, ho'd her good and proper, leaving many gamers felling well and truly screwed. Now a bunch of Korean pimps are doing it. In a years time it'll probably be some Russian pimps. Unless someone's going to say the previous johns who paid for a screwing are going to get another go on the ho for free, but I doubt that. It just wouldn't be pimpin would it.

Hellgate was very confused. If it had decided what it was pricewise and storywise it would have been a lot better.

I recently started reading the Exodus tie-in novel by Mel Odom. Someone told me it was supposed to be good. It's a fucking shit read. The story (up to page 200 so far) is abysmal, and clearly nobody looked through it before it was released.

Bs and Hs are constantly swapping places, so you get "hack" instead of "back". "Lie" also substitutes for the word "he" on more occassions than not. There's even been a sentence that starts, makes no sense, and then just ends at the end of a paragraph. Seriously. It looks like someone started to add something and then went "actually no" and never removed it.

Hellgate: London the game is 50x better than Hellgate: London: Exodus. Thank the maker it's a library book and I didn't spend a penny on it.

The crowning glory of this book though is that the high management people (Bill Roper etc.) and that PR/Story guy Ivan Sulic are credited as editors on it. If that many people actually read through this and thought it was good, then it's clear why Hellgate bombed.

Hellgate Tokyo? You got to be kidding me?

Is it a follow up or what is it? (I know the Koreans bought it...but I thought they would just keep on leeching of Hellgate London while it lasted)

i thought HG was great overall, just sucked as a MMO because it didnt go anywhere as far as content and the linear design of the gameworld (i mean imagine HG's gameworld more like EVE with safe zones and all out PvP zones, etc etc).

as far as gameplay, it is what it is, a 3D Diablo2 clone with a new setting.

There are lots of things that made HGL worse than Borderlands.

The first person shooting mechanic was completely fail compared to Borderlands.
the equipment was too class restricted. Why the hell can't i pickup a gun and use it just because I am a different character class?
The comedy didn't fit HGL and it isn't how the game was advertised.
HGL was all in tunnels for the most part.
Meh. I could go on and on.

Borderlands > HGL (by a LONG shot) imho.

I agree. I waited HGL almost from day one. I was pretty hyped from the badass trailer.. And one sunny day the demo came out.. and i was WTF is this.. is this a joke ? Every single NPC was making those strange comical sounds and the text was horrible..I excpected the game to be dark themed not.. retard themed..

I actually did not mind the fps mechanics, playing marsman was kinda fun.. but the third person melee was atrocious.. the movement, the animations, the hit detection..
Also the recycled area layouts were a bit too much.. so yeah...

Borderlands > HGL by a pretty long shot Smile

Replayed this a while ago with the "Revival" tweak, fun to see that it's still somewhat active, will be interesting to see how this new version of it plays out though impressions from those who got into the Asian version are a bit mixed.
