So there I was considering pulling the trigger on a Champions Online lifetime subscription..then it hit me. Hellgate London. Myself along with a friend where so very excited to play Hellgate and for the first few days life was good. Into about week 2 my friend had made an interesting discovery; he had made it into a “space ship” level and when I asked him to describe it he said “it looks the same as that other level”…bland boring levels, repetitive weapon design, and shoddy multiplayer code. “But it was made by the guy that did stuff at Blizzard, so it has to be good right?”
I understand that one man does not control the fate of a whole game, but I distinctly remember considering a lifetime membership to Hellgate London. The nausieating mixture of Champions Online, Bill Roper, and a a lifetime subscription just brings on a taste of bitterness.
Here’s to hoping the upcoming beta proves me wrong.
