Aye, HG:L is not really an MMO. It’s more akin to Diablo 1 and 2, and if you don’t really care for replaying a game in higher difficulty modes to advance further, then your fun would/could run out at about level 30, which is about 25-30 hours of playing.

Assuming you can make it past the bugs and general broken-ness, it’s a fun game. But not a long-term draw for me either. More of a “come back and play when I need quick action” kind of game.

Desperately looking forward to Pirates in January though… cannot wait to stir up trouble as my own scurvy dog. No nation-whoring for me. All Pirate, baby.

2008 is going to be crazy!
I know, I know. I feel the same way Bildo. I had the option to pick this up or RoK, and so far I am not disappointed. I think its just the shooter in me that needs the occasional fix. Though, I did get a chance to try HG:L this weekend and I’d say that it would have sated me as well but not as long. (Granted that was just the demo I tried)

You know, Pirates is close by, Conan is in March (maybe), and WAR is in the second quarter… but it is hard to resist the draw of a new MMO, even one I didn’t really like in beta… why is that?

Nice job!

Though it’s not without some shortcomings (subpar graphics engine and a sometimes clunky UI), I’m finding this game to be a pleasant surprise.

Man, great video review of this game. I tried the beta but wasn’t too excited about it..after seeing this video, it appears I didn’t give it a fighting chance. I really think you did a tremendous job of showing this game off.

Masterful effort. Nice job. Probably my crappy work laptop, but for some reason, I had better buffering going directly through Google’s site than off the blog.

*shakesfist* damn you for upping the blog ante for game previews!!

good job.
