The Diablo 3 that should-have-been! From the Diablo 1 and 2 masters, they pushed the genre forward. It's nearly endlessly replayable. They manage to keep up the tension and the terror from the first two games. I still play my Collector's Edition to this day.
PS: Bill roper is also back to work on a new Hellgate game! I'm so excited to see what he comes up with! Hopefully that will encourage a rush of interest into the original!
And I mean the original, not the Korean version, not the subscription version, not the free-to-play version, not the Steam version, the original was when it was at its best. Everyone else who handled the game tried to jam in microtransactions, force multiplayer, or cut the game into 3/5ths and make you pay to complete it. Yes, I've played a lot of different versions of it. :)

I have so many good memories of this game it's hard to express it. The original had some kind of magic that made it impossible not to play it. For me will always be a classic and a must have.
Had the chance to even play the Global version and I was one of the last players online when the server was shut down forever, that was a very sad day. So many people I miss, crazy groups farming bosses all day long with lots of fun and laughs.

One of the best and most charming games I've ever played, despite its flaws that mostly stemmed from its troubled history since development. It was Diablo 2.5 before Borderlands, it aspired to be a "WoW killer", and Flagship's evident love for it made it larger than the sum of its parts. It was that love that earned it a cult following to this day, despite its disappointing launch and turbulent history since its initial shutdown.
I've played this game alone, first vanilla and then with countless mods, and with my wife and dear friends in its Global and 2038 days - and its age may show but it never gets old. There's magic at its core that still draws players in, almost 20 years after its demise.
As for why I'd want it on GOG, I'd want to see this game preserved in its original form and available to larger audiences. The original was never as widely available, and physical copies are increasingly hard to find - which may regrettably push some players to piracy. Community mods are also largely based on it, and the majority of its mod library isn't compatible with the Steam version that interested players find online today. Lastly, the Steam version is drastically different from the original version and I find it doesn't properly preserve the game's essence. It's a part of the game's history with its own value, but it's quite detached from the gem that Flagship created in 2007.

I have a physical copy of the game and occasionally play it still.
A 3D spiritual successor to Diablo 2. The game play was solid, the classes varried enough to be fun and interesting, setting worked well. It's not a perfect gem by any means, but there is a certain charm that just keeps you coming back.
While I can't speak for the steam version, attempts at re-releasing the game all seemed to lack some element of the original. For that reason, I encourage GoG to release the game in its original glory.

It's on Steam, but it seems to merely be a single player version of Hellgate Global, which has been altered somewhat from the original version. Therefore it would be good to have the original (1.2 I suppose) version here on gog.
The game has some significant weaknesses. The story, characters and dialogue are quite weak and there isn't much worldbuilding. It feels rather MMOesque in the hubs.
However, the loot and monsters are fairly well made and the environments in which the ARPG gameplay happens are decent as well. The atmosphere, music and visuals have their moments. The character models are frequently visible in the main menu and in the inventory and there is free switching between first and third person as well.
The skill system is serviceable, but suffers from the same problems as Diablo 2 and Torchlight.

I never got to play this game multiplayer, it was dead before I discovered it. Only got to play a "special" single player version. Would love to experience it the way it was intended.
@saazshiFebruary 02, 2025
didnt get the bang for my buck i was hoping for back in the day. the game was re-released on steam but in a terrible state. the game itself had some great bones but its vision was never fully realised. it would be nice to get the game without all the bugs.
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.Top Trending Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
