Huh... that's pretty interesting. Was the game even good enough to warrant going through all that?
If Hanbit doesn't do anything about this - I'd probably say "yes." I thought the gameplay itself and mechanics were great on the MP side of things. Unfortunately, I didn't try the SP too much and that was b/c it certainly wasn't as patched-up as the MP. Now, looks like thanks to modders, they've patched things up as well - which is great.
It's just really that my problem w/ HGL was the story depth, character depth, and presentation was just...well, nothing relatively special. It was severely lacking.
Despite its major shortcomings, after FS had it patched-up and quite functional, I bought the CE of the game - and I certainly enjoyed the hell out of HGL.
If you asked me to pick b/t HGL (before the Revival Mod) and Borderlands, I'd easily have to pick Borderlands.
I'll have to try this Revival mod, sometime down the line...
Always good to see a game get all fixed-up and stuff - as modders have really done wonders w/ fixing games like Gothic 3, Arcanum and Vamp: BL.
