I've given it a go but I'm afraid being a Londoner I just can't get over the fact that, when it comes down to it, it isn't set in London. The tube stations and outdoor locations are *completely* wrong for a start - just generic streets/underground railway stuff. Why didn't they just call it 'Hellgate' and not bother with the pretense of it being in London. Can't wait for 'mericans to come over looking for locations in the game and being dissapointed lol
Hellgate: London
- Thread starter Barno
- Start date
Well it is set in the future maybe they did some renovations 
Anyway it was taking ages for me to load this up and quit out under Vista so I finally got round to adding another 2gig of memory today to take me to 4gig and its made a huge difference

I'm thoroughly enjoying Hellgate London
Started with an engineer and it was ok, had a fair few deaths using dual-wielded rocket pistols and all my little bots flying about......then tried a Summoner and couldn't stand it. Only got a few levels. Moved over to a Marksman and it's brilliant! I've upgraded to this wonderful rocket launcher I looted - it might only fire every two seconds, but it's totally devastating. Love it

Yeah. It's just ridiculous. Personally I'm going to wait for 'London Tube Simulator'.
It is great fun.
Although does anyone else find that they go online and end up playing solo anyway.
The chat window is so ugly no one has it open, so no one looks for a group.
Even if I do get a group it normally crashes out or the memory leak comes out to play. If I play solo its fine. Really wierd.
Last night the whole game went black and white, had no idea why, and could only get it colour again after reloading.

Yeah, also love the way the chat window gets in the way of any other ui component when your buying/selling, accepting quests etc. Hope they fix this.

Ok, I thought the demo was mediocre. Bought the game and i'm thoroughly disappointed. This game just feels... I don't know, just a bit crap. Maybe I need to play it some more...

Im on Marksman and in just 2 days Im a level 11 and on my third station. Dotn know if this is a good place, but Im enjoying the game all the same.
Im still only learning how to do the hardware bits ( Tryign to to give a thing away ) and this is both annoying and a nice touch at the same time.
Only thing Im still annoyed at is that my clothing / armour looks like oxfam rejects and nothing like the sweet blue armour stuff in the demo.

Playing it at the minute and thought it was crap to begin with, very easy and no skill involved, just point and spray.
However, once I hit about level 10 things started to get better, there were a lot more creatrues to kill and made it that wee bit challenging.
Now on level 28 and having a blast, pun intended.
Game feels like a lower form of Morrowind with upgraded graphics. Why they commited to that stupid instancing idea I don't know because everything is the same and this would be my biggest complaint. Why couldn't they just have built a sandbox ala Morrowind or GTA?
Would definately like to see a sequel but only if they get rid of the instancing.

Yeah, far too much same old sameold as they say.
Every single broken building has the exact layout and every non broken one also has the same layout as the other... 3 Flights, hole in the floor going to the ground, no roof... All the same. and 99% of the levels I have come across are all using the same maps wit hdifferent rubble on the floor.
Well, at letas I know how to get around a new level before I ahve even played it eh?
No, seriously, this is a drag and a fairly big one, but it had not been enough to put me off the game... Not yet anyhow.
