Hellgate London 2038

[EverBlue]

Sooo..
I'm a bit disappointed.
I started it up, and for a bit, I was amazed. I absolutely LOVED the game.
I ran into one of those memory leaks, which was a nuisance.. Because it meant once I entered that area, I couldn't return to the base. No matter how I went. The game would crash.
And my all time favourite quest! Click accept, then double click on Hellgate London on the desktop.

But those little things aside, I find the levels quite.. Sad.. I'm level 20, advancing decently far in the game so far.. I love the random generated maps.. But.. They're small. They're pretty linear.. And not filled with any fun little extras. In Diablo, you'd get HUGE random maps, that would lead off every which way, and there'd be special rooms,filled with treasures, shrines, spellbook cases, etc etc.. In this, the maps aren't quite so big.. At all. It's usually a straight path from point A to point B. Occassionally there's a portal to "hell", which is ALWAYS the same. Some nasty lookin' red floating island. Which takes a minute to clear. Sometimes an added portal on that, which leads to several big connecting square rooms. Still. Repetitive. Sometimes you'll find a sewer which leads you to a "gold" realm, or something like that.. Not much, though.. I've yet to try online play, I may give it a swing once I beat the game in singleplayer first.
