Got the game early for Xbox 360...

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 8:57 pm

This is quite possibly the most failed attempt at a port in all video game history. I'll be returning my copy for a full refund ASAP.
I am going to base this thread around the Xbox 360 version, but there are also some things that will probably apply to the other versions too.

- This game has by far the worst graphics on the Xbox 360. It does NOT look HD when you're actually in a match, the in-game graphics quite literally look like Goldeneye for the Nintendo Wii.
- The textures take forever to load and never completely load, pretty much everywhere you go - you see textures unraveling before your eyes.
- The character customization is much more limited than it seems like at first.
- The explosion from a grenade literally looks like one of those banger fireworks you threw when you were a kid. (A VERY tiny flash on the ground with no smoke).
- You can level up with bots, this will lead to EXP farming - to be honest I don't really care about this though.
- Too much GUI. The interface is overwhelming, there entire screen is just full of icons, player names, mission locations, ammo, its just... too much. Even when you figure out whats going on etc, you still feel like there is too much crap on the screen.
- Matches go on for too long, matches can easily last up to an hour and to be honest, 20 minutes in you're already bored.
- Scoreboard svcks, doesn't even show your kills, deaths, bombs planted etc, the scoreboard literally just shows Name, Exp. Nothing else. lol?

Anyway, I can't speak for the PC and PS3 versions of the game as I have not played them, but strictly speaking from the Xbox 360 point of view - I cannot give this game a good score even though I really wish I could've because I was actually looking forward to this game (hence getting a friend to get me the game early).

I'll probably end up getting the PC version just because I don't want to give up so easily, but to anyone who is thinking of getting the Xbox 360 version - I would seriously reconsider it.

My personal overall rating: 3/10.

So.. I'm [censored] in the butt then? :(

EDIT: Nevermind, I think the Day One Patch is to fix this..
EDIT2: They said they would release a XBOX360 patch on the release date (10th) to fix some visual along with some other stuff, so.. Yeah, I think I'll take back my butt[censored] :P

Betting the first 2 points would be covered by the launch day patch the Xbox is supposed to get.

Point 3 is just you expecting more, not that there's anything wrong with that.

The rest of the points it could be said the game just isn't for you.

dam that svcks to hear but it is YOUR opinion and i will take into account but I just cant see how it can get boring after 20 minutes, plus you have not played online yet and playing with bots would get boring

I thought this one was the funniest of all his complaints. Go back to COD you 12 year old.

You really think that stuff bothers us? We've seen videos, we know theirs good graphics. Your probably the only one who has ever had a bad comment on this game so far. How would you get it early in the first place?

Scoreboard svcks, doesn't even show your kills, deaths


Unless I've mis-read everything ever released, wasn't this one of the largest things SD tried to avoid?

Therefore I take this with a pinch of salt.

go play cod if you want a k/d scoreboard. the have fixed the problem with players who play team based game and only care about kills. if you just wanna kill as many as you want please go and play cod i dont think anyone would want someone like you in their team. its a team based objective game the only thing you should ba caring about is your team and objectives. and OFC have fun. if you're not having fun while playing brink, dont play it simple as that.

P.S i feel like punching you, for joining and tell us all how bad the game was.

While Brink doesn't focus entirely on KDR like some games, I still think it's a valid request.

I haven't seen gameplay of skyrim yet but the hardware in Xbox360 and PS3 is outdated.
