Hellgate Global: From London to Tokyo

I recently started reading Helgate: London Exodus and reading that book reminded me how much i enjoyed the game and even more the whole back story and lore behind this game.

Maybe the game itself didn't do justice to the lore, but it is still a lot of fun to play.
Reading the books made me realise how much more awesome this game could have been..

Even after Hellgate: London was taken down you could still play the game in singleplayer mode.
The game has now relaunched as Hellgate Global and is free to play up to a certain point, there are definitely some cash shop purchases required to enjoy the full game.

I ended up in the beta for Hellgate Global but for some reason i could not log in to my account, as no matter what i tried my password was not accepted, a couple of days ago i finally managed to get my password reset and am now playing :)

The game is not without it's problems, i am very surprised to still see some bugs there that were allready in the Hellgate: London beta way back, but so far it is not all game breaking.
The only major problem is lag spikes, there are moments in combat where everything freezes up for several seconds or you get a framerate of 1 fps.
There also seems to be very little (gm) support, gold spammers are sometimes spamming chat for hours.

Despite everything i still love this game and can't wait to see what the future brings for this game.
I allready had a little taste of Tokyo, which looks pretty good, can't wait to see where the story brings me, most of the story i allready played through with Hellgate: London although some things seem to have changed.

Through the hellgate

Today i was browsing through my screenshots folder and saw my Hellgate London screenies and felt the urge to play that game again, so as a result spent most of the day playing Hellgate London.

I still like the game, it is as much fun as it was way back, it's still a fun game as a singleplayer game, personally i always enjoyed the singleplayer more than the multiplayer.

Quite some time ago there was some news about Hellgate coming back as Hellgate London Resurrection, but it seems that after the initial news there's still no re-release of the game.
Personally i think it's a shame as it really was not a bad game, luckily we still can play the game singleplayer whether we get a resurrection or not.

Hellgate: London once again

Personally i always enjoyed Hellgate London (according to my Xfire i played around 95 hours of it, i was even in the beta), but somehow never got a subscription for it, once i wanted to get a sub for it they actually had stopped taking new subscriptions and of course shortly after that they shut it down.
Luckily the single player part of Hellgate London was still playable.

The recent news about Hellgate London returning to the west got my curiosity going, i am definatly going to follow this game to see what's gonna happen, to see what they're gonna do with it a i am really interrested in this game.

I really enjoy the setting in this game and think it's a great franchise, really hope they're gonna do things right this time and not screw it up.

Gaming Holidays

Having a three week vacation is great for gaming :)
I recently installed an extra 500gig harddrive in my gaming pc, so finally able to install a lot of "new" games.

Next to a lot of Hellgate London i have started playing the following games:

Diablo II


Gothic 3


and TimeShift

Hellgate Addiction

The last couple of days (since my last post) i have been completely addicted to Hellgate London, been playing like crazy, it's been a lot of fun and have been playing both Single and multi player.
In single player i have created chars in every class and they're all fun to play.
In multiplayer i had only been playing a marksman, actually marksman was all i had played until a few days ago, starting a fresh character (guardian) actually made me feel like i was playing a whole new game (eventhough the missions are the same).

I was considering a subscription so i could check out the subscriber content, but they have stopped taking subscribers because of the current problems with Flagship studios.
I am somewhat in doubt if i should invest a lot of time in my multiplayer chars as there is no telling what's going to happen with the game/servers.

BTW: what actually draw my attention back to Hellgate was a game trailer i watched (that i haden't seen before), that video really sparked my interrest again :)

Hellgate

Been playing a bit of Hellgate London again, leveled my char up to level 12 in single player.
Still think Hellgate is a fun game.

Into the hellrift

Tried out Hellgate London again, stopped playing it shortly after it launched because of the many bugs and crashes i had with this game, played it for a couple of hours and so far it looks like they fixed quite some problems, although i have to say that i only played single player, so can't say anything about the online game.
Had quite a bit of fun playing this again.

Hellgate London

Played a little bit of Hellgate London, did a mission and the game freezed on me again when i was selling loot to the merchant, moving stuff from my inventory to the merchant's (again, inventory)....
Had to reboot my computer to get out of the game, this is just no fun !, fix the damn game, the game is cool but no way i'm gonna get a subscription for this.

Hellgate London

So far i was having a lot of fun with Hellgate London, reached level 10 with my character.
However it seems there are still some bugs, i've had several game freezes and with the last time i had to reboot my computer because i couldn't get out of the game.
Usually it happens when working with my inventory or after using the relocators.
It's really strange cause i never experienced this during beta.
It's gotten to a point that i want to play but don't feel like it because of those freezes...

Hellgate London

Been playing Hellgate London, just got my copy today.
So far it's lots of fun.

Hellgate London Demo

Just finished playing the Hellgate London Demo, looks like a fun game.
Can't wait to get the full game.
