Yes, but apparently its not just HG;L

Flagship laid off hundreds of employees.

The fuck is hellgate?

The fuck is juice?

A shitty MMORPG ripoff of a mixture of Diablo HUD and dungeon play and WoW third person play.

tl;dr- its horrible.

I had high hopes for Hellgate and even bought it on it's release day.



I was severely disappointed and uninstalled after a couple weeks.
That is all.

Thats what happens when Blizzard throws out their trash and the trash decides to make a game.

exactly. Hellgate was made mainly by the Blizzard team that was working on Diablo 3, and subsiquently got fired for making a shitty game, which ended up having blizzard COMPLETELY scrub the development they had into D3.

A few months after Hellgate came out, EB Games was clearing out the Collectors Edition of Hellgate for $10 (everywhere else is like $50). I knew it was crap but I picked it up anyway because it was cheap and came in a nice big box. It's still unopened and sealed.

Can you even play this game offline in single player?

There might be private servers running after the official ones go down. Unless the game is really that bad.

Yeah you can play single player ... but its god awful and boring.

My friends who don't play pc games much seem to think hellgate was sweet.
I begged to differ.
I didnt think it looked all that terrible, but a retail mmorpg that has flopped in less than a year, should concern the industry into shutting down.

After Hellgate they might as well close that shit down... I want Diablo 3 NAO!
