@ L00fah,
I agree with you, people need to stop complaining that they are getting free stuff (yes i know it was supposed to be in the original game but whatever, this is how it has played out so just accept it, download it for free when its available, and enjoy it).

Complaining that it is going to come later is not going to change that fact much, this is the hand we have been dealt so just accept it and enjoy the game for what we have. Not everyone in a game of poker is going to get two A's to start out with just how we are not going to always be given the 'best' game up front with all of the add-ons (maybe not the best anology but its what i thought of, if it doesn't make sense move on).

I know it would have been nice to have been updated earlier by the dev's that it was going to be later but the way people react to it seems like its the end of the world to them. Just because you are not getting your content (free content) right away DOESN'T mean your going to die. Play another game for awhile, lvl up your characters so your ready to work towards lvl 24, or better yet get away from video games and ENJOY life... instead of continually complaining that some add on to a video game is delayed

***Quick Edit***
Does it bother other people that when you come to check on the forums many of the 'new topics' are about the DLC or just negative comments in general?

Ovcourse I wouldnt lol, but the fact is they havent..... Ive got a very valid reason to 'piss up a storm', its not exactly going mental either.... im just rightly p1ssed off, and im allowed to be, they have given me no reason not to. when they could have easily done so.

Ahem....... wtf is your plan? Like I said.... CAN YOU UPDATE your main site on what is going on.... I know you have had all the money you are getting from this game.... But the people who play it want people to play it with..... And I dont want tired people coming here seeing no update from you and then leaving the game.... SROT IT.

@ T-Stan
What i don't like about the Galactic is that while it does have a lot of ammo available,it doesn't teach you to use your ammo a little more sparingly than other guns like the Bulpdaun. Of course if your a soldier you have plenty of ammo so fire away. I like the Kross because it's in-between the two, has quite a bit of ammo but not where about your first mag is about 50% of your total ammo capacity.

People have the right to complain about this....
Like hot-wire said its like ordering something from a restureaunt [even if it is 'free'] then waiting 45 minites and then the waiter saying "sorry your order is expected in another 45 minites, but heres a picture of your food" So your like ok.. ill wait then. Then 45 minites later you still have no food... and nobody has told you anything about it even with other people asking, so you go and ask where your food is, and you just get ignored.....wtf.
If you havent already left the resturant then you very much have the right to complain. anyone who doesnt complain, or is delusional, or tries to justify them doing it because "the food isnt coming so why let us no? its still not coming yet, why complain?" are just mugs in my opinion, have your opinion about people who complain, but it doesnt change these people very much have the reason to complain, maybe if they wern't complaining they would even still be here..... so be thankfull for that, would you rather them not even play the game anymore? These people dont like being mugged off... let them complain the the company hasnt given them any reason not to when they eaisly could have.....

@l00fah: Good post, well put, almost poised even

@rawkr: should have done a poll for that last question. My vote is yes! 100x yes. I have even pleaded with the mods to clean it up, or make a special thread just for the complaints!

All the whining er complaining is not going to change anything. If a couple thousand people stood out front of SD's headquarters with Molotovs and Sea Eagles it still would not make a difference.

For those that are this upset the best thing to be heard, prove a point, and get something done. Silence and dont buy another game that SD was involved in. Money is the bottom line and if they dont sell copies then you won! Now granted it would take at the least a couple 100k of people worth of loss in sales. Just an idea.

People don't have the right to complain about Brink. Brink had the best launch of any game I've seen this year, and they're giving away free content... and it's not because there was anything wrong or broken with the game AT ALL. Splash Damage is doing it because they're just stand up people. Some of you guys should be happy you have the opportunity to play such a breath of fresh air game. They should have charged $100 for the game.

The 923 people who play Brink on PC don't need you complainers messing it up for them. Neither does the 10 people who never experienced lag on PS3 and Xbox 360.

Be patient and wait. New video games definitely don't have a window to show and prove. If the DLC gets released in 2012, people will wait.

GO BRINK!

Brink did not fail any certification w/ PS3 or Xbox 360. The DLC isn't out yet because Xbox 360 has never experienced such an epic release with such boundary shattering game play and smooth net code. They're preparing their servers. PS3 got hacked, and they don't want anything bad to happen to it's gem Brink when it hits the stores, so you whiners and complainers go play something else. Brinks immense gamer base is going to be here if you decide to come back, and NO those are not Bots, they're actually Brink players.

"Brink had the best launch of any game I've seen this year"

Seriously, come on. Don't just lie for your point. I love Brink, but I'm not oblivious to the other titles released that clearly had a more successful launch then Brink.

Name 1.

Wow....just wow. I seriously hope you're being sarcastic because if not...just wow.

Ahem..... I could name MANY... lol. Just becasue Brink got a good amount of sales [that it wouldnt even have half of if Bethesda didnt spend so much advertising and hyping the game up] it doesnt mean it had a good launch... It had a terrible launch... players have consistantly dropped since the first day it was out.... there was 1000's of copies traded in in the first week...... the game wasnt working for the first few weeks and for some still doesn't.... for example The first day on steam there was nearly 30,000 people online..... and ever since it has dropped in number considerably day by day.... just 2 months later its not even in the steam top 100 most of the time with less than 300 players for most of the day.

And whats this? "People don't have the right to complain about Brink." Lol yes they do....

This still stands

Lol you just sound like a troll, how do you know Brink didnt fail or is having problems for certifiacation? If there is any assumption that is what makes most sense.... for both PS3 and Xbox the average is 2 weeks.... and both platforms have had all the DLC's for others games come out on time and the same with no problems the last few months...... I take it your just trolling by the sarcasm in your posts

Seriously 4th?

This love for Brink coming from the guy who came back "Just to say I told you so!"?

Seriously?
I thought you put this game down indefinatly, that you even tried to trade it in. So.... do you love this game or hate it? You seem to just change your mind a lot.

As for the DLC while it looks nice, I don't think 1 dlc will change a game. I hope ppl come back so I have ppl to play with. Honestly, there's still no lobby and ppl hate that which is why 20 of my friends quit playing. If you can't find ppl all the dlc in the world won't help free or not.
I hope I'm wrong and ppl come back and stay, but I doubt it.. it's a shame too considering how much fun Brink can be.

Hes just trying to troll

I see the Bi-polar hater has made his return! Come to see how terrible/great the new DLC will be?

I swear that post made you look like a commie- AND LOOK AT ME! People DO have a right to hate! Sure, people don't like haters, but they exist so a lover like me can feel better about himself, and to prove the hater wrong.

I havent actually seen any haters here recently... I have seen complainers complaining about a game they love just like you... but not haters... If people didnt complain it means they do hate the game and would leave it it.... The only haters I have seen here is haters that hate on the complainers.... Complaining isnt hating

(sigh)

Whats tommorrow's thread going to be called? I'm waiting with baited breath.

Either "My complaint to Splash Damage and Bethesda" or "My gratitude to Splash Damage and Bethesda". I'm more anxious than a TF2 player a day before the über update! Wait a second...

Again... people keep leaving this game.... can you atleast try and stop them by updating your main site you stupid company. yes SROT IT... ok SORT IT
I want people to play with along the line, and the way you are treating your commuinty you dont lol. Ino youv'e had your money from the game, but have some respect for the people who are responsible for that money, not watch them stop playing the game so you have less demand or people complaining which is what it looks as if your doing.

You know there is a reason why the update thread at the top of this forum has so many views, PEOPLE WANT AN UPDATE, UPDATE IT . Stop watching people leave so you have more weight off your shoulders, its the sure sign of a bad greedy lazy company who doesn't care for their customers in my opinion.

@ L00fah

I accept your logic and opinions but to be fair...

If any of us were to apologise for something I am sure it would be fairly prompt this dlc issue has been dragged out far too long

as with most problems and disputes this is not about free dlc it is about poor communication and communication regarding this dlc has been poor , confusing and misleading....

If an organisation chooses to communicate poorly with its customers then it is making a considered decision to anger at least some of them....

ipso facto some of us are angry, disappointed and wanting the customer service we are entitled to and have paid for...

and frankly saying that its not my problem is not good enough!

I am sure most of us realise some backlog would have occurred due to the PSN debarcle but for Xbox and PC to be delayed too....not understanding this at all?


people are not happy and the publisher is to blame, period!

Now, now. You're not too old to go over my knee, you know.

No calling people "trolls". Just hit the report button and let us hit them repeatedly with something heavy.

To be fair, every update has to be carefully checked to make sure that it doesn't break something else, hence delays with patches. I'm sure they're not just "lazy and don't care", but are as we speak investigating solutions to our problems.

Thanks for bothering to reply, but sorry this has nothing to do with the point. Its not about the update on the actual game, I and others will happily wait for that as long as its the best it can be. But updating the community of the people who play the game on what is going on.
People where expecting this DLC and update in early july. And you didn't update us on the fact it wasn't coming in early july when you knew yourself before the end of early july and just let people expect it to come, and you still haven't updated the community on the games main website and forum since the 23rd of june even when on the Splash damage forum at least they have said something, albeit too late.
This is the main website for the game, and its the forum, and this game has kept losing players from the start, and people coming here to see whats going on with the DLC they expected to not see any update whatsoever are more likely to leave the game like others....

Even for a game that only been out only 2 months you should keep your community updated and not keep them in the dark, let alone a game that has problems and is losing its community fast.

[You=Bethesda, not you personally]

hmm... i detect a hint of sarcasm here.


i might put that as my signature.


that line, right there? so much win!


Hi princess_stomper. Took me awhile to get the knee part because i just woke up but i was soon doing this:
