LAG and overall gameplay

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 1:07 am

This is not a rant just my opinion so turn your eyes elsewhere if you don't want to read my opinion and you're just going to flame about it.

I gotta say I had high hopes for this title. I feel really let down splash damage.
I know games have issues at release but being unplayable is ridiculous.
I talked this game up to my friends but none of them decided to buy it with me and I am wishing I had waited too.

The issues I have with the game:
FIRST AND WORST - WHY IN THE HELL IS PS3 VERSION 720P ? I FEEL RIPPED OFF RIGHT THERE!!!!
Second - the AI, this subject is a dead horse so I won't elaborate.
Third - Campaign was way too short on both sides.
Fourth - No Lobby for Clans? for an online coop shooter we need this feature.
Fifth - The LAG and Latency issues are what kill this game so badly for me. I have high speed internet and I play alot of
different online games. I haven't had issues with playability like I have with Brink. I get waves of LAG that cripples
gameplay. I mean, frozen for 5 seconds and then bouncing around to different spots on the map. This is completely
unplayable.


Not everything is a 0 in my book though. I do like the following features of the game:
First - Art style. The general overall look of Brink is amazing.
Second - Teamplay, this part is the best feature of the games dynamics.
Third - Character customization.... I LOVE IT!!!

I am so let down by this title it really frustrates me. I wish there were something I could do with this game that would make
me feel like my $65 was well spent, but there isn't.

I'd really like a little explanation from Splash Damage or some kind of reassurance that some of these glaring issues are going to be addressed.

thanks for your time.

And I was just about to ask if the lag was any better on the PS3...

Guess I shouldn't bother switching.

it sounds like you are only focusing on the bad parts. yes there are times when i am bouncing all over the place.. that's cuz the host isn't good. i usually leave and try again and BAM!.. most times a better host is out there with a nice clean, non laggy game and i have the most fun since 007goldeneye/perfect dark on N64... so while i agree there is lag... unplayable is really a dicision made by the individual gamer. i find this game playable, been doing it since may10th. i won't be trading it in either, i don't see any other 'taking risk' type shooters out there besides borderlands coming anytime soon.
