Brink Is A Clean Shooter! : Othor Games

» Sat May 28, 2011 5:00 pm

I admit games like Splatterhouse over do it but not all games. Some blood is good for a game like if they're going for realism. And Bulletstorm is infamous for it's language but some cursing makes it more realistic. You find me someone who hasn't cursed on a real battlefield. And finally I agree completely. Keep six out of games.

Except Splatterhouse requires the ridiculous to create it's atmosphere, and Bulletstorm does as well, although I must admit after sitting through the demo I was pretty certain I didn't want to have to listen to an entire game's worth of the raunchy comments he was spouting.

It isn't neccesarily the cursing that's the issue in all cases, as sometimes it's just those "descriptively vulgar" words that make the whole thing less than appealing.

My friend and I played through Army of Two and were more amused by the language than anything, but he was less than accepting of Kane and Lynch because it became a case of excess.

Red Dead Redemption used most of it well, but like most R* games found a few places to go over the top.

The new Mortal Kombat is way over the top, but that's what it is so you look at it as "stupidly silly" in most cases.

Brink is "clean" as far as six and language (that we know of), but it's got it's share of blood and certainly touches some very grim concepts in the way of story, even though it doesn't do it in a heavy handed way.

If I wanted to see six I'd go watch a rated R movie or google it. I just want my violence, gore, and profanity. If a game doesn't have the gore and profanity I will still play it because I know someone online will do the profanity part. :wink:

That's very refined taste you got there. :sick:

I see we are on the same page here. ^_^ I feel it's safe to say some is good but too much of anything is bad.

I'm fine with harsh concepts. life is filled with harsh concepts. But language doesn't make a game realistic. In fact if you carried on like that in the army they'd throw you out. civilians cuss. real soldiers do not especially not while on duty :sadvaultboy: sorry its true.

I'm willing to put the gun down... but can't I hold the flamethrower? :flamethrower:

Good question, ummm... I'm gonna guess that they're simply allowing this topic to "evolve" in a way. So that it survives longer in the forums.

Haha! evolve like the mayo in my grandmas fridge? :yucky:

In the army sure, although I doubt anybody is getting kicked out for yelling a bad word as his vietnamese captors force him to play russian roulette. But most shooters don't take place within the confines of a particular establishment. You rarely play the faceless soldier following orders within the ranks.

Besides, the realization of harsh concepts can be far more damaging to young minds than the language they likely hear on a daily basis. Clean is a matter of perspective.

In most video games you play a hero who is usually a bad-to-the-bone veteran who's been through more conflict then Gen. Patton.
But doesn't that mean he'd have more self discipline and only say whats necessary? :dry:

Your right, it is a matter of perspective. But isn't keeping the truth from them more damaging then opening there eyes? what happens in Brink is no different from what's going on in the world today.

Come now my good man, he was was merely stating that its a little over violent.

It's just an opinion. Lets all calm down a bit. :icecream:

Actually MW2 sold three times as many copies as Black ops has. That's comparing them three months after launch

That has nothing to do with anything but that doesn't matter. What does matter is that black ops sold more than MW in the end

Hears a question. Why are we talking about COD on a Brink forum? :spotted owl:

Seriously you make vault boy sad :sadvaultboy:

They need to make a game where the hero is some every day ordinary person, who is forced to do some act of greatness. Or a group. Or something.

There have been a multitude of FPS games that don't go heavy on the content so I don't see Brink as anything new there, but I do know what you mean. It's unfortunate the kind of stuff that seems to saturate the genre in the name of "gritty realism".

I don't think it's going to make a huge difference though, since Ratings seem to be a bit of a joke.

Yeah, that's why I never got most FPS, heck, most VIDEO GAMES, because of this, especially since I was growing up. That's why I mostly
stayed with adventure games, cartoony E-rated games, and T-rated action/adventure games for most of my gaming life, lol. ^_^

Now that I'm old enough, I can buy some M-rated games here and there, but I still prefer the "clean"-er games
and Brink looks like a more "cleaner" game (thank goodness, I'm soooooooo tired of excessive gore/violence, decapitations/falling limbs or exploding heads,
finding different ways to torture and kill people, the immature excessive use of f-bombs, etc, *rolls eyes*).

I swear, throughout my years of gaming, many games (especially M ones) just want to "push the envelope" or just want to offend/gross me out, lol! :sweat:

I don't know I just got caught up in another conversation. Sorry Vault Boy. Well getting back on topic I feel proud that I'm young but I have enough sense in me to not go "OHM'GOSH!!! HE CURSED!!! THIS GAME IS AWESOME" I like a game for the gameplay and story. Not the rating.

Because these are no long the Brink forums, mi amice.

If you have gazed upon the thread board in the last week, you will see that we are no longer the "Brink" forums. We are now known as the "Forums who compare every aspect of Brink to COD and try to force the developers to our will" forums.

These discussions of "Zombies", "Graphics", "Main characters", and "hardcoe mode" have left us fighting amongst ourselves trying to compare.

But of course, you know this. You are Wraith. That statement was not a question, but rather a question within a question, to test whoever dared to answer. You wished to see if anyone could uncover this, and respond in the way of which you intended.

And I have. :spotted owl:

Huh... I never knew. I don't read video game labels. I'm not so discriminant, I just look forward to video games based on what the nitty-gritty gameplay is like. I'm not so drawn to six/no six, blood/no blood, swearing/"yer just a big... poopie-head!".

I'm the same. Some of the games I play don't have any of the mentioned qualities.

Indeed, mi amice. You do speak wisdom :spotted owl:

However things are hardly as grim as you think. There are the good times and the bad I have been here many moons. Last week was simply bad, they come and bleat for awhile then leave. Pay them no mind. Soon we shall retake the forums in the name of Holy H0RSE. We will cleanse the forums of the heresy :flamethrower:

Soon the time will come,,, will you be ready?

Will you be ready brothers? :gun:
