    In reply to Namco Bandai Holding Up The Return Of Hellgate
    Thanks a lot Namco, for cock-blocking the only chance I had to play this game online again. Not that I have to, or that the world will go under now that I can't, but still. Would be nice to play the game i fucking paid for.

    I don't understand why they can't reopen servers...like what, is it going to cost them an exorbitant amount of money or some shit just to keep servers running? They can do it in Asia but not here or Europe. The least they could do is give a reason why.

    @VengefulRonin: Namco's probably just pissed at the money they may or may not have lost because of this game's failure.


    What I don't get is why they can't just sell the publishing rights to Hanbisoft and rid themselves of Hellgate altogether.


    Hell, I'm not gonna pretend that I was completely satisfied with Hellgate, but I am kind of interested in seeing where the game is capable of going if it gets patched/updated, and all that stuff.

    @KnightsofRound: You know, I also wonder why they haven't gone with the option of selling he publishing rights to HanBitSoft. Sounds like NamcoBandai is a little butt-hurt that an MMO from a relatively unknown developer went under, and would like to just sit on its bad decision, rather than cut some losses.

    Excuse my french, but Fuck Namco. >_<


    I loved Hellgate, and was excited about this. Great that they have to be a bunch of asses and prevent it from happening. Meh. I'm sure someone will find a way, unofficially.

    @_SN-78007841181843: Protip: Singaporean people speak English and are generally awesome people in my experience from Granado Espada. [hellgate.iahgames.com] You can find their site there. The company is really great too in my opinion they host all sorts of fantastic real life community helping events with players like having a group of players take a preschool class to the park (just try to imagine that happening in America.) Anyway I'll stop hyping them before I sound like a shill. Give them a look.

    Looks cool, but it'll take more than that to get me involved. Y'know, there aren't enough games where you can play as a rabid doberman.

    Really? Free?


    Now if only Korean developers would come to the US to make Spore live up to its expectations, recreate Red Alert 3 so it resembles a game from this decade, bring back the Homeworld series, and put Uwe Boll on trial for crimes against humanity.


    One can only hope.

    Not the best game ever. Too, too, TOOOOO repetitive enemies and environments.


    Best loot-levelling system ever, though.

    Like WoW is different when it comes to enemies?

    Click it and hope it dies.

    @CreativeCat89:


    I don't recall saying anything about WoW, ever. Why are you inferring that I'm somehow extolling WoW?


    I actually liked the combat in Hellgate (especially compared with WoW), but the environments had like five repeated parts for every single theme. After a while it felt like you were not only doing the same thing over and over, but doing it in the exact same places. It felt like the beta version of what Hellgate could have been.

    Anyone remember when this was touted as a Diablo-killer?! The premise and concept was good. The execution though? Not so much.

    I'd rather they brought back Mythos, but I'm up for more Hellgate.
