Just, you know, fyi. And yes, the ad plays fine, so the problem is probably not on my end. ;) I wanted to show off this trailer to a clanmate, and it looks like the video no longer exists.

My hope is it will be what Hellgate should have been. My fear is it will be what Hellgate ended up being." Quoted for truth. That's exactly how I feel about Borderlands, so I'm just gonna steal your nice, concise description instead of writing eight paragraphs about it. Again.

At least Brick's perpetually-frozen face looks appropriate for the setting. I mean, he looks like he's about to eat someones face off. She looks like she got bored waiting for her Myspace pics to load. That said, I LOVE the art style overall, and this game looks SO MUCH fun. I'll definitely be playing Brick, though.

Now all I can think of is how that went from a brilliant concept to a megagrind to a "bye now, no refunds" situation. And of course, comparisons to Borderlands mean that I will probably wait and see before buying this. Especially when you read articles about a supposedly broken trade interface(the GiantBomb article linked above). Fool me once and all that claptrap. @Waneta
