Yes! I loved this game back when it was released, and it broke my heart when it got shut down.
Never gave this game a try, but the style and game concept looks beautiful
I still don't know what they intend to do with people who own the retail version.
Will play just for the secret cow level.
[QUOTE=DEMONSKUL;30685583]I still don't know what they intend to do with people who own the retail version.[/QUOTE] Probably nothing.
Probably gonna be Pay2Win store. Dissapointing.
Oh my God, I knew this would return!
Why has this returned? I played in the closed beta for the original game and hated it. My friends were absolute in love with it but I never understood why. For me, this game defines generic.

[QUOTE=DarkWolf2;30686378]Probably gonna be Pay2Win store. Dissapointing.[/QUOTE] Basically this.
I got to play this with a friend online for just two weeks. This will be fun. :buddy:

Hellgate and Mythos are both incredably underrated games in my opinion, it was a sad day really when flagship studies got shut down, i used to talk to a lot of the devs during the Mythos closed beta.
Flagship really had the opportunity to make something of this game but that "randomly generated map" concept was just a glorified "hey, so you played this earlier but we're going to give it a green skybox and make you spawn on the left instead of the right!"

It was more of an exaggeration than a compilation of everything Peter Molyneux has ever said about the Fable series.
[QUOTE=DarkWolf2;30686378]Probably gonna be Pay2Win store. Dissapointing.[/QUOTE] Yeah, but hey - Its not a PvP game, and at least its up at all.
I've played Hellgate: Lotsamone! a bit recently, it's not completely wrong. Very decent TPSMMO with some interesting features available.
Anything particularly wrong with the game at this point, in general?
I've played Hellgate: London in single-player and like the game. It's like Diablo but need more work, like I want something good with my minigun-pistols that I rocked with late-game.
[QUOTE=DarkWolf2;31025116]Anything particularly wrong with the game at this point, in general?[/QUOTE] No, not really.
I played it recently. It's pretty much exactly the same as it was before, but with lots of Engrish.
The downloader is always in the foreground of my monitor D: You can't put it in the background and play something else while downloading the files. Oh well. Hope the game is worth it...

[QUOTE=DarkWolf2;31025116]Anything particularly wrong with the game at this point, in general?[/QUOTE] I might have installed wrong but it looks pretty ugly in some portions...
[QUOTE=Swilly;31080037]I might have installed wrong but it looks pretty ugly in some portions...[/QUOTE] It's incredibly old, almost as old as HL2, don't expect it to look like Crysis
