If any one is a gamer from the past then they should know about the game Diablo 2. Well it looks like the developers of the game have run off to make their own studio Flagship Studio's. With this new studio they have created a game called Hellgate: London. Which of any one has seen any of the videos for it, know it looked amazing and was going to be a great game...well its turn out we were wrong.
No idea how it is possible to screw up a game that looked so nice, and has such great potentail but I guess those who can create such power of a game like Diable, can do anything at all (like be fucktards). The major complaint anyone can say at first about the game is the complete utter lack of textures. I mean it has some which can look "ok" but still this is the 2008 (late 2007 for it release date) and their is an expectation. I don't know why they seemed not to put any detail in the game but it seems they have fucked it.
I would not complain as much if everything else was well done too, but its not. The fighting and action is bland granted fun but nothing as in depth as anyone would have thought. Many other parts of this game also feel and looks uncompleted, and Flagship Studio seems to have been rushed to put this game out. If this is true then I can understand but waiting a few months and putting that extra effort in the game would have been well worth it. I mean the textures are so bad, that World of Warcraft an MMO itself (which hellgate: London is too, with a guild wars style) has better graphics then this newly released game which says some awful things specially that I even considered to use WOW as a comparison.
Not to say I am not satisfied with this game, I have had lots of fun, and is a little addicting at times once you have played enough but still I really feel cheated and that I just have a beta of the game. It also has extreme replability value with 6 classes which is nice to see in a game, and I will use to my full extent, hoping in my imagination that I can imagine textures or the game world.
P.S. I would also like to mention that the writing in the game, weak at times can be bloody brilliant, there was one character who was so well done that I was laughing out loud (lol for those of you), and that is something alot of games have failed to do.
