So where will all the people that threatened to leave Crysis 2 once Brink came out go? I wonder if they'll come flocking back once they realize the grass isn't always greener on the other side? "But Brink's developers actually care about their customers", and "Brink is going to destroy Crysis 2's gameplay". Really? Doesn't seem that way and it makes me happy that I am sticking with this game and I didn't bother picking up my copy of Brink today. I think I am going to get Battlefield BC2 back and buy the Vietnam pack instead. Just curious what will happen with this community now that Brink isn't living up to everything it was boasting.

They've probably already long gone bud, and when they've shifted their copy you wont see them on here defending their decision because they've already left the building. Just because Brink hasn't had the scores (yet) that people said it would hasn't changed a thing.

Crysis 2 is still full of issues galore, and Crytek are refusing to even talk to us

Nothing changes.

So how do you know Brink will fail, unless you try it for yourself you will never know.

On the subject of games, this is becoming a trend these days, developers tend to exaggerate about their game before release and then fail to deliver.

They are fast becoming worse than door-to-door salesmen, using quick sales tactics to sell the produce at the expense of there own integrity.

Bad reviews always pre-seed good one’s, I know the 360 graphics will not be as good as the PC, still I am looking forwards to getting my copy of Brink.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/brink/review/

But I’ll still be here and there, and even way over there, since I still visit every game forum that I have ever purchased.

I've seen some reviews and it seems uninspiring. The graphics are subpar but the gameplay was supposed to be where it's at.

Apparently the SP and MP contain the same 8 levels and you play the same levels and objectives OVER AND OVER again. Many reviewers have said this is very repetitive and I believe them as I havent heard them use the term before and I can already assume from the information I was given that this would probably be the case.

Apparently the AI is s**t and the SP is a fail. I thought for a long time that it has dedicated servers, but they are only for the PC.

Like Trumpet said I'm sticking with Crysis and will be purchasing BFBC2 once my exams are over. I will look at some Brink gameplays in the upcoming couple of weeks before making a judgement. Not really into paying for a game that turns out to be a dud when several other games are coming soon that are possibly better.

The first gamer review of Brink I clicked on from the offical site.

Ive had lag like this but only in COD & NEVER in Crysis. I knew Brink would svck at launch.

And people said Brink would be better than Team Fortress 2.... haha idiots.

Nothing will ever match Team Fortress 2. Ever. Unless Valve releases a Team Fortress 3. Period.

I’m not saying you guys are wrong; Brink may well turn out to be a pile or crap.

But if you don’t try it for yourselves, how will you really know, personally I never take anyone word for it, I always play first and then make up my own mind.

Graphics, I do believe the 360 graphics will be crap, no AA and poor shaders, but hell the 360 is years out of date, even when it was just released, I had a better GPU in my PC then and since then have replaced it 8 times, I have spent well over a grand and a half on graphic cards alone in that time. I think graphics engines have progressed beyond the 360.

But what I dislike most is the fact that developers are now in the habit of releasing in game footage from a PC with an Xbox controller giving the impression that it was taken from 360 game play. I believe Crytek have also done this.

All games are repetitive, Crysis is repetitive, Life is repetitive, and anything you do often enough is repetitive.

Stupid AI, lets face it, there is no such thing as AI, since it is all pre-programmed, Artificial Intelligence. Look at these two words again, AI will never be clever or smart till it can learn from it’s own personal mistakes. Till AI learns self preservation and can think for itself, it will always just be a clever set of variables within a computer program.

Lag; well if brink does suffer from lag, I will trade it in for the PC version, there is no excuse for lag in this day and age.

BFBC2 I played this on the PC, great SP, MP was ok but maps are so small it’s almost claustrophobic. I enjoyed MOH much more.

As for brink, I fail to understand how reviewers can make there minds up in only a few hours, perhaps they get the game first who knows, but like movies I prefer to make up my own mind about a product.

this community is gone & going fast. all it takes is one more game like this(a half assed game) and people will be there til something proper comes out.

Brink doesn't beat Crysis 2,

Brink had no proper SP, MP iterations cheap move

brink is not like cod or cod it requires team work wich no every1 has obviously not all cod players
c2 all the way baby !!

I have Brink and own Crysis and let me say this, I like Brink. It is a fun game. It suffers from the same things that Crysis did on the first day. Slight bugs and of course P2P lag but its fun and thats all that really matters.

I plan on sticking with Crysis as well though because I enjoy it just as much if not more than Brink. I will not buy the DLC however until the P2P system in Crysis is at least some what stable and doesn't allow for host exploit.

So anyway try Brink everyone, it is fun... its not Crysis or COD and definitely not TF2 but it is fun all the same. My 2c.

Cool @ last some common sense, when I played the demo of Crysis2, I loved it, once the game came out I played the SP first and was expecting the MP to be pretty much the same as the SP, same suit changing ability, don’t ask me why considering I played the demo.

So at first I was not too impressed with the MP, but it really grows on you, I wont get my copy of Brink till the weekend, but I would think as you learn to play it, it would grow on you as well.

So what about the graphics, are they really as poor as they say?

I aint buying any game that has no dedicated servers. First cod, then gears 1 and 2, then crysis 2, now brink

if you people want to keep buying games that have p2p go ahead. But, dont complain about lag. Crysis 2 was my last straw with p2p.

The best quote I've seen on brink is that "Shooting people feels less like pumping bullets into flesh & more like sending them a memo about how many hit points they lost" lol. This kind of sums up why people were concerned with a shooting game not rated M. The main aspect of brink I am looking forward to is the wall jumping & such. Free running will definately make for a fast paced game, but couple that with lag & you get maximum host ownage.

I ordered brink through wal-mart.com, and probably won't get my copy til early next week, but you can pretty much tell when EVERY SINGLE review is crappy, it isn't going to live up to the major hype that their "viral" marketing has engendered. I bet the guy on here who is defending it is one of the same people that said it was going to be awesome 2 months ago. If I had more time, I would look for a quote lol. Yeah, I never had to read Harry Potter to tell you it probably wasn't my cup of tea. Same here. Who the hell is gonna want to run around giving out morphine syringes, and will a game that requires a doctor & lawyer on your team work well enough when everyone wants to be a gunslinger & demo expert? I realize that phrasing does not even adress the problems in the game, and that brink has an engineer, medic, so on, but you get the point.

The Graphics are stylized and not bad on my end like most reviews are saying. I like things that have a unique style though and some may hate it but I think that the exaggeration of features and the hand painted look of the environments are cool like TF2. My 2c.

I am not defending any game I can only give my own opinions based on my experience just in case Xx AGJ xX is speaking of my previous post.

Anyone else read the latest cad comic?

i just got crysis 2, does it have a strong community?

No...because Crytek is garbage...Read the forums for about 5 minutes and you'll see complaints and no replies.

I own Brink, and let me just say, the pace of Crysis movement is MUCH MUCH faster... The movement in Brink is clunky and feels delayed. You can only wall run as the light body type, but you suffer penalties such as less health and reduced weaponry.

Honestly, I've completed both campaigns and it really only took me a total of 5-6 hours... I haven't done the "What-If" missions, but I don't know if I care to... The game is more frustrating than it's worth. The enemy AI has retardedly deadly aim and can take you down in anywhere from 2 seconds to like 10 when they are being retarded... It's like rolling the dice every time you see them. Not to mention you hardly find 1 away from the pack... Most often you find 5-6, which I understand it's a team game, but sometimes even peaking at them is an instant death.

My least complaint about Brink is the lag. I've now had more good games in terms of connection than bad, but Brink is still horrible in my opinion. It has a style of play of its own, but I just really don't care for any of it.

I'd say if you think it looks like fun try it, but wait for a price drop.

I got Brink and do enjoy it, but it is vastly different then crysis2. Everything is much slower for one, even with light body types. as for the AI, they are ok. Brink is best as a multi player game vrs other clans or friends. Thats where brink shines the most.

As for crysis2, regardless of the issues it is still my favorite game of the year and i will be buying the DLC on the 18th. They got some serious making up to do to the community and they are working on it, just because every post isnt answered doesnt mean much, if anything it means they are working lol. Even with all the issues on crysis it is still one of the best games of the year hands down.

Brink's gameplay is great but it does suffer from quite a bit of lag online. Not as bad as crysis2 but on the rare occasion you get in to a rubberbanding game it's pretty ridiculous. You know what sets it apart from crysis2 and crytek tho?

The game wasn't even out for 24 hours before Splash Damage(the developer) released an official statement acknowledging the problem and reassuring the community that it is their #1 priority. Something Crytek has failed to do after how many days now?

Crytek svcks.


Can you provide the link because i've been on them forums since Tuesday. People have been asking for a statement but I haven't seen it yet.

This is the IGN review of it



tbh it does look like a great idea but not executed right by splash damage.

I think crytek should take some tips on where to take C3 if it comes out though from the multiplayer aspect of this. Objective gameplay is the future, it just needs someone good to combine it with a good game engine and storyline.
