Hellgate

Anyone else excited about this? I'm probably getting it the day it comes out, or at least in and around that time frame.

I know a lot of people are saying thats its just Diablo 2 with a graphics boost, a new plot, and a first person mode, but that's still awesome right?

Those pplz are idiots, they build this game from ground up and they think its a d2 lookalike, IT DOESNT EVEN PLAY THE SAME D2 WAS WAY MORE RESTRICTVE

actually, i've been watching a lot of gameplay videos, it depends which class you play. If you play a templar, the gameplay is very similar to just playing a d2 pally, but for someone like a marksmen, it's completely different, more like a first shooter with the same style as doom.

Because they're demons. They are immune to normal weaponry. Magical swords on the other hand...

Alright I score the game a B+ right now, sure I am frusturated with a laggy game when graphical quality is at medium, as well as a few crashes...BUT I have played over 8 hours (I was home alone and bored) and seem to be nowhere near the end of the game. <3

Hey guys,

I'm considering getting this game but I've seen very mixed reviews. Many say the game has bugs (which I guess will be fixed) and all sorts of things. How many would recommend it?

I still havent beaten it due to how long it is, but i love it... save those little bugs, sometimes a npc is untargettable or something like that, but it doesnt really effect gameplay as the bug fixes itself in seconds.

However if you have a medium performance comp you will be wishing every area was indoors...

Yeah , I pre-ordered it, played for a few months, almost got to max level. But I quit because I'm a PvP fanatic and all the good PvP and content of that sort is for subscribers, I'm not paying money per month, If I was gonna do that, I'd play an MMORPG.

Agreed, this kind of money whoring is getting out of hand.

BTW: I deleted this game and will sell it soon, unless someone can convince me that the Hunter is just a very shitty class.

I was also very excited about this game, but the reviews disheartened me. My laptop at the time couldn't handle it anyway, but now I have a laptop that could. At the very least, the cinematics are eloquently badass.

Indeed, but the game itself sucked so much balls.

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered :teehee:
[2026-6-23. : 3:29 am]
DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.
[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
