Quote:I believe it would be inappropriate to label HG:L anything but a complete disaster. Even excluding the quadruple billing issue and the Asian server wipe, itâs glaringly clear that the game was rushed into production in a very crude beta state. Subscribers are basically funding the continuing design of the game, since the money apparently ran out and they had to ship. Wake me in 12 months, if the game has any stability; although Age of Conan and Warhammer will be out by that point, so itâs probably irrelevant. A shameless money grab by FSS; Iâll never buy their games again. Clearly the Diablo magic is gone.
If you buy it for the MMO-style parts, yeah, it looks pretty bleak right now.
If you buy it to enjoy it like you did Diablo, especially if you were more of a loner or in a closed atmosphere, it's quite enjoyable. Certainly worth the retail box value.
Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
