Hellgate London Single Player Demo was released today.
I'm downloading it from Demo Versions: Hellgate: London Demo - Demo Movie Patch Download Section - GamersHell.com
But I'm sure it's available at Fileplanet and other sites 2 :-)
Does GameApex have it's own download servers?

Cool. I never played the Diablos but this looks pretty good so I'll give it a try. Just hope it runs smooth.



And yes PCApex has a download section that Dex runs but I don't think GameApex does.

Someone should ask GK about that.

Install screenshot , if this is any indecation ............................ SWEET!!!!!!!

Hm, I have yet to try out my beta, but you think its more or less than the beta?

just played it for about 10 minutes............... nice graphic's , but didnt really make me go "WOW" or anything not like Bioshock or FEAR when I tryed them out.

It's pretty fun. I enjoyed upgrading my character.

If the multiplayer will be anything like diablo 2, I expect to waste a summer on this game.

The gameplay is awesome. I normally don't enjoy these types of games but that was just flat out cool.

That being said was the quest supposed to just cut off like that? I killed everything in the Covenent Garden area and the halls underneath and never found anything.

Ew! I downloaded the demo and played it for about 8 minutes. It took a lot of dedication to play for that long. It was TERRIBLE.

The enemies fell and died like planks of wood, the character walked like a robot and when he moved over rubble it felt incredibly unreal and unfinished, not fluid at all. The graphics were nice and smooth I guess, but detail was crappy, and over-all the game felt very, very cheap. Reminds me of something from an old 90s arcade game but with updated graphics and nothing else.

Am I going over-the-top here? Did I miss something? By my standards that might just be the worst game I've played. The Gameplay was frankly embarassing.

I haven't played it, but judgeing by what everyone else thinks, including pubs, you must have missed something.

If waffles likes it, it must be good.




Looking forward to Wednesday.

Maybe the character building is cool but it just felt so damn cheap. No good physics, unrealistic and annoying movement and the combat wasn't at all satisfying.

Thats exactly what I liked about helgate though. Totally unrealistic but it still had that dark sense to it.

Why are we discussing realism in this game.

...would you prefer to discuss the game's religious and political undertones instead?

:sneaky:

Ok, from what I've played so far (which is about 15 mins) this is a pretty good game. It definitely looks like its a MMO with a Singleplayer game attached to it. I enjoy playing the hunter so far, but I think tonight I'm going to try a melee class. Honestly the way the game plays is very Diabloish. I really think people are hyping this up as an FPS but I will tell you all right now, Its not! Its a RPG that you have the option to play in the FPS viewpoint (well atleast as a hunter you can.) The zombie's you fight in the beginning do have a bit of a card board feeling, but come on, they're freakin' zombies. I'll post up some ingame screens tonight and give a better idea of how I like it.

Ahh, please don't rape the letters RPG Diabloish games are not RPG's, they have RPG elements but they're not RPG's. And just because a game is an FPS doesn't mean it can't be an RPG, just look at some the earliest RPG's (Might & Magic for example). The proper term for Diablo-like games is "action with RPG elements." Hopefully I don't sound condescending or that you feel I'm bashing you but this is a big pet peeve of mine.

I'll give you that man. I mean I really haven't played a whole lot of it yet, and I wasn't really saying that FPS's couldn't be RPGs. What I was trying to get at was, while yea you're playing in a FPS viewpoint, there are alot of the FPS elements taken out of the game, like I really don't get the sense of panic that FPS game generates, but again I've only played out of Russell Square so I'll give a better idea of how the game plays. Anyone notice that Wirt the Peg legged boy made his way back to Hellgate London?

If it's not allready taken I'd love to try out the beta.

I think it could be a great game but parts of it do feel stiff and kind of unfinished. Solid concept but they did themselves a dis-service with a shoddy demo. You don't even get anything other than fedex and orkin man quests.
