Yeah, I was very underwhelmed by the demo. It ran great for me but looked pretty bad on medium settings. Playing as the ranged class after playing say, Half Life 2 or Halo 3 was quite boring. Perhaps it was because I wasn't able to get more than a handful of skills but combat wasn't very fun. The sounds and gun models are subpar as are the animations, there's just no "oomph" when I attack something. The grenade physics are very odd as well, more like a superball then a grenade.
Also I'm not the biggest fan of pay to play, except in an MMO which Hellgate is not especially if there's ingame advertising. You're making money from us playing your game, how about passing on some savings? If I were inclined to get this game, I'd wait for a few content patches to come out then buy the subscription upgrade so you get all the goodies without paying 10$ a month the whole time.
