Hellgate London was so promising and hyped in my "Bubble" but such a letdown back in the days.. Crazy to see it, i remembered the graphics to be pretty good :D
oh yes! Hellgate London as soon as it came out and both Summoner games on Ps2 \o/
keep up the great work.
@@Hravokh I was not expecting the PS2 games that were recommended to pop-up here, that was awesome. I loved the aspect of how you are a ruler in Summoner 2. And I loved the uniqueness of the characters, including the assassin hiding in a dangerous battle by not moving. I remember battles later in the game being a gauntlet of fun. I think I liked all the characters. Normally there are characters that would not appeal to my aesthetics, but I enjoyed fighting as them. Having said that... I did not recall that tank at all. I only recall 4 of the characters.
Speaking of Hellgate London -- I vaguely remember game journal back there in my country having an article about the similar premise game, but the Other One had demons being a mix of mechanical and translucent BRIGHT RED ghostly body parts, it promised some very fun gun customisation, but over the years and finding other products to get excited about, this one slowly went into obscurity and I only now remembered "the other Hellgate London"
I am an ex-soldier...Where are you from friend...I like your videos and I am subscribed.
I really wish Hellgate london would get a fully funded remake, the lore and world setting has so much potential.
Man Hellgate London was such a fun game for what it was. I had such a great time with it.
@@beremordraco Yep! One of the very first looter shooters
Before "Borderlands", before "Destiny", even before "Fallout 3"
Yeah, I wish they would remake this gem too and properly incorporate the global stuff into the game. They remade the Hellgate Global online version on Steam as a single player offline game, but they barely made efforts in the adaptation so it's the DX9 lower quality version. I loved this game.
Same!
I still remember one of the shop keepers... when you interacted with him he would shout "I need money for beer and prostitutes!" Lol hellgate so good
Making me feel old remembering all the history with hellgate london.
Amusing thing about hellgate london is that it had both 32 & 64 bit versions on the disc but only the 32 bit had any DRM. This means that by simply copying the 64 bit directory onto your hard drive you can start it up and play. Kind of surprising given that EA was the publisher
I used to play the hell out of spartan total warrior when i was a kid. Easily one of my favourite ps2 games of all time
Sword Coast Legends got bad reviews because of the failure of the dungeon master mode which was touted as a viable replacement for real tabletop D&D. The actual campaign is fine, but a large part of the marketing and hype around the game centered on what was supposed to be a powerful dungeon master mode, but what was given was anything but which made a lot of people mad and thus the poor review scores and negative associations.
And do not forget how the promise was to deliver a modern neverwinter nights experience with custom module editor tools, full d&d 5e rules implemented, and the aforementioned gm mode support. None of which materialized in the end.
Is that TAINTED GRAIL I see in the background!? FINALLY, someone of culture!
I would love to see Creative Assembly make another game like Spartan Total Warrior or Viking Battle for Asgard. They could even do one in the Warhammer IP.
Spartan total warrior was my childhood.. need to replay it again when i'm craving a nostalgia hit!
About Hellgate London, basically, this game was mentioned to become an MMO, but failed a couple of times, first - with original studio cause of crunches and EA patronage (surprise, surprise), then - with korean, who made Hellgate: Global version, which not last for long as well. HOWEVER, there is still a project of enthusiasts, completely free to play and pretty much stable, with bunch of good tweaks and updates, so if you want to get real HG experience, I would be highly recommended to check out London2038 project. I will be happy to help with all info I know so far. FOH TEH LIVINNNN! :D
I played through Sword Coast Legends twice and really thought it was fairly solid
Same, the framerate was the biggest issue really. Runs at 5fps on a good day
Shame never was able to play that, it was pulled off some time after its release.
Blood Knights looks like my kind of gem! Love the this series and the comment sections for treasure trove of rpg suggestions.
32:34 The ammount of enemies on screen is pretty impressive, what's even more impressive is that their bodies actually stay on the ground once killed - even many modern games strugle with this.
Summoner 2 has been on my wishlist for like 20 years.
It's worth a play. I enjoyed it back-in-the-day!
Huh, Sword Coast Legends seems fine. The weird license thing has surprisingly occurred with other games and there are some articles warning devs to make sure their IP license contract is solid. For example, the studio BKOM that is making an upcoming Pathfinder ARPG had to remove its past D&D game (Tales from Candlekeep: Tomb of Annihilation). If my memory is correct, Sony lost the right to sell many of the games they made in the past due to IP licenses.
I would really recomend trying out the Knights of the Temple series. They are a weird piece of gaming memorabilia, but still fun nonetheless.
Yeah, both KotTs were pretty good.
The first one is a blast!
I loved Summoner 2!
one other thing about Spartan Total Warrior, notice how every single enemy is named, you can see their health bar on the upper right side of the screen and they all have names
Summoner and summoner 2 are incredible games with such fantastic world building and atmosphere
Hey! I've been catching quite a few of these videos lately and something I feel like I would love to see from you is your personal "Top 10 Favourite RPG's of All Time" sort of thing :)
Hellgate London...such a great idea, such untapped potential. I had some great times with this for a while but they kept screwing it up.
Edit: Holy Crap, Summoner 2, i had forgotten about this one. Played it twice and i loved it.
Summoner 2 looks so different from the original game. Big part of Summoner 1 was your journey as The Summoner and it was quite memorable, is S2 still a game about summoning cool creatures?
Summoner 2 switches it up by having you transform into a growing roster of creatures, instead of summoning them as separate entities.
Man what a throwback.... I recently recalled this game Spartan total Warrior and have had an ich to play it again.. I will look for this gamecube emulator. One of the best hack and slash I have played.
I played some of these I like your breakdown of these!!
Bro i love this serie of videos about regular games, do more please. Thabnks!
If you'd like to play another Deck13 game play Venetica, It's prime eurojank, but frankly the setting is actually really charming.
Great choice on background music, I'd recognize that Gothic 3 soundtrack anywhere! :)
Great series bro 👌🏾
Man Hellgate London was one of the most fun I've ever had. Played it back in the day, when it wasn't on Steam. I think I'll have to start it up again.
On sword cost legends, it did not go well because in marketing it looked like the dnd part (where you can GM games with friends) was rly complex and involved. On release it was barebone and GM coud hardly do anything outside spawning mobs and items. That kinda made everyone hate on it.
Oh man I remember Hellgate London, the trailers were so cool. Such a cool concept.
plz continue with this series,i love it
Spartan: Total Warrior reminds me of another very similar game, Gladiator: Sword of Vengeance.
that's some good one right there!
Summoner 2 was awesome. It was one of my first rpgs that I played. I loved turning into powerful creatures even though there was limited attacks. I also remember getting a game breaking trinket that gave me something like 80x life for the robot character(I forget their name).
My father's has spartan total warrior on PS2, I played this as a kid, i was surprised when you listed it, hopefully it gets a remaster someday
Spartan was one of the greatest games to come out in that particular console era.
I just got Last Oricru and damn, is it good.. Heard it was buggy at release but got better now and yea, it's hidden AA euro-jank gem :D
I played blood knights once when I was a child at one of my dads friends house and I have looking for it ever since. I was convinced I dreamt it up at this point so seeing it pop up is insane to me, I've never even seen your channel before.
I hate when that happens, I have a handful of memories of games and shows I've seen and can't find evidence online.
@shawnganske8731 Or songs you heard somewhere. Yeah this happens.
Love this series from you!
There is a game named Mage Knight Apocalypse which fits perfect in your series.
Finally, someone talking about SUmmoner 2. This gem needs a remake!
Hellgate London was a great game. I called in sick to work when the servers where going to be shut down. I stayed logged in with several others until they were down. It was grindy and I didn't get a good sniper rifle until that last day.
I remember looking forward to Hellgate: London release and being disappointed by it.

Sword coast legends is a true hidden gem, really loved the game
Hellgate London gave me a divinity 2 vibe, and I love this game, definetly I will give a try.
man I love the asthetics of the rpg's of that era
I played Summoner 2 back in the day and really liked it. I'd recommend covering the first Summoner game as well actually, they're different enough to warrant looking at both
It's crazy how many games there are that I've never even heard of.
Summoner 2 was a solid title, (played it on Wii using nintendont) - but it lacked two features that made the original Summoner special: random encounters and the chain attack system.
Definitely agree regarding Spartan Total Warrior. I played back then on PS2 and loved it. Unfortunately Viking Battle for Asgard was the last game of Creative Assembly for that type of game. Would be awesome to see a Remake of Spartan Total Warrior 😊
Would recommend septerra core, interesting rpg from the late 90s. Very unique world.
Seconded. I have fond memories. It had some interesting locations and worldbuilding.
It was very similar to Final Fantasy 7, wasn't it ?
Clicked on the video because of Hellgate London. Played it back in the day on release a lot. Setting and combat was very nice for that time and if there was a remake I would instantly get it ❤
Great, another one! Can't wait to watch.
I should have a physical copy of Hellgate:London at home lying around somewhere. It was looking good when it came out.
Man, I get a special tingle every time I see Hellgate: London. It was so good, but so bad, but still so good. FYI The Steam version is curated by a company that bought the IP after it originally shut down. They butchered and tried to overmonetize it as a F2P game, not sure of its current state but I would never give a company like that money. You're better off finding an old retail version and downloading London 2038 which not only restores and improves some of the cut content from the game but also enables the multiplayer.
ALSO, the "real Hellgate" only begins once you beat the game the first time. Back in the day I got to where I could pretty much speedrun the "normal" mode in about one evening. After that the loot tables really open up and you can really start to make your build and explore the "endgame" content.
You make me want to play Hellgate again !
By the way there is London 2038 for multiplayer but there is also Hellgate revival for having the multiplyer content in solo mode, well not all of it but the majority of items are there. That requires some steps but nothing too hard. I like this game a lot !
IMPORTANT : It's for the original version of 2007. The steam version is basically a port from the version that was a kind of mmo. Has all the content (i think ? Maybe not, idk) but apparently some people encounter a bug with intel processor that freeze the game at 1 fps. Up to you to decide !
I loved the scale of the battles of Spartan: Total War. The level that you siege the castle, very late in the game, was my favorite, it was so great for its time.
*Total Warrior
"But you know, you can still get the game if you try hard enough. Or, should I say, _h-arrrrrr-d enough, matey"_ *implied wink **-insert pirate hat onscreen
How do I give a video more than one 'Like' here on UA-cam? 😄
Summoner 2 (well, the first one moreso, but whatever) reminds me of another early PS2 game that received a load of attention in magazines at the time - Drakan: The Ancient's Gate. This fantasy action-adventure where you played a sword-wielding chick who could ride a dragon around. I have no idea where games where you can ride dragons around are so rare. I mean, I know you're a PC-focused channel, but if you have the PCSX2 emulator up and running anyway, you might wanna check it out sometime. The _first_ Drakan game was a PC exclusive though, so you could opt for that as well/instead.
I bought the collector's edition of Hellgate: London. Loved the hell out of it.
Hellgate: London is fantastic on the Steam Deck, I never forgot! :D
I remember playing Summoner 2, it was actually really good.
Can you try Soulbringer? It's an interesting eurojank RPG from the early 2000s.
Gothic 3 soundtrack is so nice, wish you included it in the list too
I would like to propose The Technomancer. Its a game from 2016, and it was decent
I remember playing spartan total warrior as a kid, man I totally forgot about that game. It was so fun!
Side note, Have you ever played drakken the ancient gates? I’m not sure how obscure or popular that game was, but man it stands out in my childhood.
Back when it released I quite liked Hellgate. It looked fantastic, the gameplay was fun, looting was fun. But more then that, two years after playing it and having forgotten all about it me and my sister visted the British Library. Even though hadn't been there before I somehow recognized and knew my way around that place like the back of my hand, it was bizar. At some point it dawned on me that I actually hád been there before, in this Hellgate game.
They copied that place perfectly, and even though I never felt like finishing the game I do like it that much better for this experience.
Hellgate London was kinda good, i've played it back in school years :D
Spartan total warrior was such a good game
Man I'd kill for a modern version of Hellgate London.
"Champions of Norrath" Not sure if it's been mentioned before.
Played Sword Coast Legends when it came out, thought it was below average and forced myself to finish it as had nothing else to play back then.
Also played Hellgate London when it first came out, online only(?), it was a lot of fun to play with my brother. Though the class/skill balance was bad and I don't remember it having respec option, meaning it became extremely repetitive since you had to focus everything to just one main attack with a couple support skills. I remember playing the whole campaign through using pretty much just a single laser/leash type skill with bunch of passives proccing off of it, but I did do insane damage compared to others.
hellgate london back then had the biggest community u can imagine. it was such a nice game. (and hardaf)
Hey C4G, I would love to see "Lionheart: Legacy of The Crusader" in one of these videos. I remember playing a demo for it and enjoyed it, but never heard anyone ever talk about it. It's a very flawed game with a dubious legacy as Black Isle's last game.
London is a gem!!!
Summoner 2 was my title to play on PS2 emu, it's weird how there was no PC release despite first game getting PC and PS2 version... same studio ten later made Saint's Row1 without PC port while other games got one. S2 had some parts that required either multiple playthrough to try them - or just buy/DL the guide and get the best results. PS2 era was like that. Hellgate London was really promising, there's some version on Steam, but not sure if it's worth touching after all these years? Might as well play Remnants From the Ashes instead.
I played the absolute hell out of HG: London back in the day. It wasn't good, I'm aware of it but I got hooked on it's jankiness. I put easily 800 hours into it in over the course of a year before I finally put it down and walked away.
Hellgate London was so unique and groundbreaking at the time with FPS and melee combat.
Blood Knights was hella fun with my young son
Wish I could find Sword Coast Legends!
I remember the awesome trailer for Hellgate London way back when, I never knew that : 1/it had solo play 2/it came back
Pitch for number 2 :
"Hey, our protagonist is a great warrior that's gonna become a powerful vampire !
- What's his name ?
- Jeremy"
I wonder if that's the name of one of the devs...
if i play hellgate with marksman can i complete the game with normal difficulty or should i play easy?
Now I'm wondering, does Spellforce fall under the scope of this series?
Also, is Jade Empire well known enough to not fit on one of these lists?
Anyway, I'm gonna recommend _The I of the Dragon_ mostly because It's one of the very few games in which yo uplay as a dragon, and I have a deep fondness for it, even If it is... not the best game out there.
spartan was awesome
Spartan total warrior is a GEM 💎
You are a good kitten 😺 and that's a nice channel :3 👍
bro spartan total warrior was underrated
As a Forgotten Realms fan I loved Sword Coast Legends
Hellgate london is an awesome game that went through bad times. Also yea, it is the father of looter shooter genre.
I have all these games and all on their original systems rather than emulation. I think I have put most hours in to Sword Coast Legends and Hellgate London. Neither are bad games and there is plenty of enjoyment for crpg and arpg fans respectively.
Samo napred, bravo sine moj
So that's his original language? What is it? Finnish? Another Nordic langage ?
Hey have you tried any of the Spiderweb Software games? They are a series of niche rpg games with a lot of charm and personality. I would love to see your opinion on their games.
Spartan total warrior was one of the best ps2 / xbox games released, I was a huge fan of total war games for PC and creative assembly delievered on this for console. Not sure why it got bad "reviews" but IIRC this game released around the time that the gaming industry started going downhill (early 2000s). I really miss the pre DLC / microtransaction / easy era. Praise the sun.
Can i ask where did you purchased Sword Coast Legends from? I can't find it anywhere. : /
*nevermind.. i looked really, really hard and found it. :)
The pirate hat is there to tell you it wasn't, a purchase...
Were is the other Video?
i would love to see it
Did he say I'll call you later? Are there phones?😂
I still remember the hellgate london hype back in the day, it was a colossal flop whe it came out, but still enjoyed the game for what it was.
Hellgate London is unique to this day. This should have been the future of Diablo-style games imo. Basically a 3rd person looter shooter that's more RPG and less shooter
Summoner 2 is awesome I beat that game like 3-4 times
If only gamers of Sword Coast Legends could still get the 1,000s of quest and campaign files that gamers made with the DM option!
You should definitely try a game called Soulbringer next. Really underrated if you ask me.
I loved Hellgate London at launch. 2.0 was really great. If they hadnt gone bankrupt, the game could have become someting truely amazing. i still prefer it over most modern arpgs tbh
