Hellgate London Review - What I Really Think
There was a lot of hype surrounding this game, and plenty of people were eager to play it. Unfortunately, there was a problem: The game didn't really live up to all that hype.
Don't go thinking this online game review was written to bash the London game, that's not it at all. It was just bland. After you listen to people and media saying all kinds of great things about something, you start to think this is going to be super-awesome, or at least something you've never experienced before.
But the game wasn't amazing. It wasn't innovative. It doesn't even rate as awesome. It was fun, I'll give it that, and there were some exciting parts to it. What would make the game even better is if it those parts of the game were magnified.
If you find another Hellgate London review and it says the game was blow-your-brains-out fantastic, or that it even lived up to the public's expectations, they're lying. It's almost like when your girlfriend or boyfriend does something that looks stupid but you don't tell them because you don't want to hurt their feelings.
To be quite honest with you, the stats confused the fire out of me. It's hard to keep track of each and every weapon doing different kinds of damage. Well, despite that problem, it's nifty to be able to use a wide variety of attacks.
But there is one really cool thing I'll note in this Hellgate London review: You can break down items in your inventory to conserve space, and you can pick up gold like crazy. Which is about as cool as it gets. Don't forget, if it doesn't work out between you and Hellgate London, there are many other games to try.
