with the euro release tmrw, just wondering if thats when you guys/girl think they are implementing the patch. If not I have little faith of it coming this month :/

Microsoft limits the amount of times a game is able to release patches, I wouldn't expect another patch for the game to get through certification and released within the next 2 weeks.

this games community will be dead by that time on the 360. A competent company does a free beta with preorder. NOT A FREE BETA WITH PURCHASE OF THE FINAL PRODUCT! Never buying another Bethesda title at launch. After New Vegas and this, this company is fail. Really pisses me off cuz I paid 65 dollars for this gam when I could buy it 2 months from now (actually less from amazon or something) for 40 and not miss out on anything because the game will be unplayable up to that point either. The early adopters of a title should be rewarded, not punished. This is redic.

o yeah i got the fallout carb 9, too bad I cant shoot anyone with it cuz this game has a netcode written in the 70's

so im just spose to let my 60 dollars immature into 40 dollars without getting any enjoyment from a product I already bought. Do you know how insane that sounds? O yeah I just got this new car but I cant drive it outsie the driveway for a few week yets. O man Id love a sandwitch, here take my money Ill be back in two weeks. My copy of Brink is best used as a dust collector right now, it remains to be seen if this is all the game will ever be. Its so lame, this game had such high hopes, even if it worked flawlessly, it would not have lived up to expectations, but this, this is bs

Please use the edit button to add to what you said instead of triple posting.

The only issues with the 360 version of Brink are the graphical problems (weird blur, non-loadig textures etc.) and networking issues. (The networking issues revolve around the major lag most of the community gets when playing online). Splash Damage has stated they are "urgently" looking into resolving both issues, but who knows what the word urgent means to them.

Edit: I actually played some matches this morning on the 360 version, online, with little to no lag to speak of. (I probably just jinxed myself saying that). I set the match settings to "Competition" when looking for a room. I don't know if that made a lick of difference, however.

Doubt it, seeing as how Skyrim will be the best video game know to mankind.

I have a feeling Skyrim will be quite the glitch-fest come launch. Especially since Bethesda is using a game engine they've never used before.

Bethesda = Publisher. Splash Damage = Developer.
Don't give up on bethesda because they published some games that have problems.



:celebration:

I agree - the graphics and the networking are the only real issues Brink has so far. I appreciate that SD has acknowledged these issues and - based on my experiences in Wolfenstein ET - I trust their use of the term "urgently" is sincere.

i dont really care whos fault it is, complaining about it wont get it done any faster, i know that, but still they deserve far worse than what Im throwing. Its really humorous to me that companies try to enter the shooter market hyping up for years to just release the worst game Ive played in years (at current state). I would probably really really enjoy it if it worked polished and flawlessly, both graphics and netcode. I probably wont even know if I like it until weeks after my purchase, provided I actually wait it out and dont go trade it in. Its not like I was expecting this to be able to compete with BF3, but I thought they would at least try. Really really disappoints me when I get a new game, and I just go back to playing halo or bc2 cuz it doesnt even work. Even if it did work, then maybe then I could decide if I like it better, but alas I will probably not know for months while my really really cool blue box collects dust on the shelf. (bethesda must think if you strap a carboard sleeve around the game it will excuse all the glitches, bugs, and unplayability.) And im not doubting skyrim will be amazing, but I def wont be getting it at launch. Your a fool if you think one of the biggest, most expansive content filled game ever created will be bug free at launch, especially if gamesas is publishing it. Anyone remember halo one? golden eye? these games had zero updates and I still play golden eye on my 64 to this fay some times

Haven't noticed any of the graphical issues, though that might be because i installed the game to the hdd. i tend to do that with new games.

got to admit, the more i play the game and get used to how it's supposed to be played, the more i dig it.

the main thing is adjusting to supporting teammates through buffs and what not. gotten way to use to just racking up kills and the simple search &destroy game types you find in games like COD, RB6, etc...

this game requires more brains than just fast reflexes.

"Anyone remember halo one? these games had zero updates"

11 updates, you have no idea what you're talking about

http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Halo:_Combat_Evolved_%28PC%29_patches

Yeah competition works the crappy part is that is only 5 vs 5, I like 8 vs 8 with bits filling in until a legit useful player joins

i think he was referring to the Xbox.

Who thinks of the PC when talking about Halo?

PC gamers

meh, they took 3 years to port it to PC and it still had 11 patches

Brink hasn't even been out for a week, be patient

how dare you speak of bethesda in that manner! secondly they didnt make it? thirdly...they didnt make new vegas either.

I actually feel this game is best suited played with like 4 vs 4 or 5 vs 5. Like Gears of War sorta. Far too many games think more is better and that's simply not the case. Better balance makes for better matches. 16 player or 24 player matches are the norm right now but not the best way to go for every shooter. You see a lot of shooters get hype because they allow more players in a match, 32, 64, 256... yeah but for those games to excel the maps are totally different and more open and they have to do a good job of spawn points for the game to be balanced. I think Brink's map style and just the gameplay is best suited for about 5 vs 5. 4 vs 4 also works as does 6 vs 6 but it seems 8 vs 8 is where all the problems happen.

I really don't think you can say this game is the worst game ever or anything of that nature. Just because it has some problems now, doesn't mean it is the worst game in mankind. About the networking issues, if anybody can remember back when COD Modern Warfare 2 came out during the holiday season, no one could even join a game for a few days. But after that, the multiplayer worked great. Give Splash Damage some time to sort things out.

I love the game, and i'm not going to let some graphical issues and networking problems change that.

Patience people. Patience.

Yea Like BeartheTyrant was saying, if you change you're game type from the default you get a lot better results. We set up with "Advanced" and most of the time we're lag free. some times it will start lagging after a few games, but it stops pretty quick. It may just be that default public game search. Who knows, hopefully it will get fixed pretty soon and we can all get into playing Brink instead of defending/hating on it on forums!! Also, for the record, I am loving Brink so far!

obvs i was talking about halo on xbox, if i was talking about pc i would have said halo ce not halo one, nub (and bungie didnt even make the pc version, it was outsourced MUCH LIKE gamesas DID FOR NEW VEGAS HANDING IT OFF TO OBSIDIAN)
further more, its not bad for a game to have patches, its good, nub
whats bad is when a game NEEDS patches to be playable
and yes I know Bethesda didnt make it, Im not an idiot, ive been on a computer since I was 3, and been following the video game industry since I could read. I know gaming, and for any publisher to release any game coming out in the current state Brink is at on xbox 360 is a disgrace to the industry, just like when they published New Vegas. There is something called quality control, testing, and funding that is used to do it. Its quite obvs that beth rushes their devs and does not fund them properly, especially in the final stages of game development. All the best minds coming together to make a dev team (what SD thinks it is), isnt gonna mean anything for a good game if the publisher doesnt fund them properally. Maybe if they would have spent less on the banners I see streaming on every internet site tryin to sell the game, and more on actually producing it (which btw, activision spent 500 million on black ops, 50 on development, 450 on marketing), they would sell more copies and have more satisfied consumers. After being hyped for this game since e3 2009, i could not have been more disappointed. The dlc for bc2 has more polish than this (and a comparable amount of levels), which may i remind u was $15 not $65. When a new competitive shooter comes out you should have to worry and complain about overpowered weapons, cheap camping spots, and unfair game mechanics, maybe with slight latency in the weeks following release. Not playing a game in pre beta form.

i just got done playing a relatively lag free game, the texture issues were so bad tho it looked like n64 tho and really the game wasnt even that fun. Im prob just gonna take it back and stop being pissed off. so much hype for a mediocre at best game

cool story bro

This. Cry all you want about your little "problems", but just admit your butt is getting Skyrim 1st day along with every other jack-wagon on this site.
