Don't believe the Reviews

Post » Tue Jan 04, 2011 5:39 am

I've been following this game for awhile and I was disappointed in the reviews. Well, I got the game this morning and have put in a couple hours. I have to say...it's a lot of fun. I'm playing the challenges without any bots and the games I've had are very intense and entertaining.

It's going to take awhile for everyone to learn to play. This is a pretty hard game. But if you stay with teamates, listen to what's going on and stay with the objectives...you're going to love it. Keep in mind, you can't play this like most FPS game.



I'm playing on 360, BTW and I've had no lag. Sorry haters, but this game has a bit of a steep learning curve, but it's fun and rewarding.

Seriously...just play the game for yourself, have an open mind and you'll be happy.

Oh you bet I will play it for myself, but all this hate and [censored] about BRINK really sets the bar for me - now I will point out all the [censored] in my head becuase so many people have complained, and I don't like that.. So somewhat against my will I will try to find all the [censored] in the game people don't like, it will be like what I did to Halo: Reach after a while, I started seeing all the [censored]ting [censored] in it and eventually I just got to the point of me not playing - I played a little with a pal, and did level up those last few levels to get all the achievements just so I could say ''I went through gaming-hell''

.. I still have my hopes up for BRINK - please don't let me down, Splash

Well by the sound of it, you probably won't like the game then. It seems you've already made up your mind not to like it.

The game tells you what to do! If it says "guard the robot" then you stay with the robot and get tons of points. If it says "blow up the door" then you switch to a soldier and plant a charge. If it says fix the stairs then you change to a engineer and fix the stairs. Just stay with the objectives, do what it tells you to do and you'll like it

I know what the game wants me to do, and I hope it will work for me

I've been wanting to play a multiplayer game that you actually need to work together to win in, the [censored] I'm talking about is lagg, the 360 is under the standard, that there is only bots, [censored] like that.. I know the gameplay, and from the looks of it I will like that

EDIT: I've been waiting for this game for some time now, I will not give the [censored] up on it

Some people don't have 60 bucks to risk and have to go on reviews. Saying "Just buy it and decided then" is exactly the reason why they have reviews in the first place.

Look at player reviews not site reviews. But anyway, it's impossible to find 16 real players to play with on xbox live bc there is no matchmaking system. I need to invite 16 people and 1 person on my list has it. FAIL!

When you buy something you have a need to get the best out of it, even ignoring its flaws....

QFT

I also think you should decide for yourself if somethings worth your time and money, but they didnt make a pre-release demo.

My advice for people is to get a console(360 since PSN is still down isnt it?) version and return that if you dont like it, because for here at least EB(Gamestop) gets iffy about you returning PC games with CD keys. Just say its unplayable because of massive lag and video texture issues, lol. Or rent it depending on your situation.

Edit: I should add the outlet here is pretty good for returning games if you dont do it all the time. Could just be that the girls working there have the hots for me.

I cannot argue with this logic, which is sad, I like to argue :cry:

Really? some people have been saying it's been unplayable online on the 360 due to lag. Obivously, I don't know if they have the game and are just trolling or not though. I'm hoping the lag wont be has bad as it some have said.

I'm still getting on Friday regardless of reviews, so have 3 days to wait.

Wow, you only buy games that get good reviews? Yikes.

couple more hours into the game now. Level 7. I've had NO LAG to speak of. As someone said in another thread, the games are very intense. Tons of fun.
