As we know Brink has been out for just over a month and has become, in my opinion, one of the quickest games to die out. I actually really do like the game but there are so many things that go against this game, such as;

Graphics
They are no where near the standard we all expected from the trailers we saw before release. Those graphics were new, crisp and dark in a positive way. Blood looked realistic and the exp system was cleverly made, similar to Killzone 3. The landscape was impressively made. NOTHING LIKE RELEASE!

Multiplayer
They tried to be new and different to the rest of the FPS crowd which in a way did work, but not enough. Lobbies are needed as it is too difficult to party up with friends, especially if they have a lower rank. A game which is online SHOULD NOT be filled with game generated bots, if doubts occurred about how many people would buy the game for them to impliment bots then clearly this is not a good sign and therefor they shouldn't have released the product, or improved it so people would buy it, meaning release what you showed people!

Community
We are the second biggest reason this game has died. All we do is [censored] and moan about how the game svcks, when clealy it doesn't, it just needs work.

Developers
They are the ones who ruined this game. They really messed up with false advertising and not giving a product they said they would. They have also made even more people angry by saying DLC would come early June, which never happened and now apparently its due for release at the end of the month.

I can't help but feel that Brink was the beta for Rage. It has a very similar, if not the same engine. Same graphics, similar story and same weapons, just different opponents and landscape.

Discuss.

Is this so called rage game SMART?

Different engines, different graphical styles, different stories (beyond both following a cataclysmic event), different gameplay focus, different developers.

Brink isn't a beta for Rage.
