    I played Hellgate from launch for a month or two, and I'll tell you what went wrong: Horrible, crushing repetition (in the environments, the building blocks for the environments, and the enemies).


    What went right? The best loot system I've ever used.

    They betrayed Blizzard. Nobody does that and gets away with it.

    I remember when they first made the announcement of the subscription system. That's what turned me and many of the people initially interested off from the game. The idea that you can be better off if you pay just didn't seem fair. I bet things would have turned out just a littttle better in there favor had they not done that.

    @Cykoe:
    Agreed. That was the beginning of the end for most people. They shot themselves in the foot when they announced the subscription plan.


    When I first heard about Hellgate, the fact that it was being developed by members of the Diablo team was enough to make me want to get it. But by the time release day came, I no longer cared.

    "There was no plan B. Everything was going to be a massive success."


    There's your problem. ALWAYS have a Plan B.

    @UsernameOfTheDead: lmao. It may not be beating the 360 (or heaven forbid, the Wii) but it's only 7 million or so behind the 360.


    Not sure if sony is making money on it yet or not, but 20+ million units isn't what I'd consider a failure.

    @Superlocke: < it is considering Wiit Fit sold almost 20 million. So for every Wii Fit there is one PS3, which is kind of lame for Sony imo
