After the DLC comes out and I play it for a little, then I am selling the game.
and If the DLC doesnt come out next week then I 'll still selll it.
This game is horrible, I was hyped for it since day 1. and i pre-ordered it and everything.. And when I got it and played it for 4 days, leveled up to 20. and unlocked everything. and ever since then its been collecting dust..
btw, im sellling it for Portal 2, which will most likely be Game Of The Year

Don't need to tell us that. If you can't appreciate a game, nor don't like it, by all means get rid of it.
But I don't care if you go or not, it's your decision and I doubt any of us are capable or care enough to stop you.

I'm eating a sandwich.

I realize the sandwich has cheese in it.

I spend the next quarter hour in the restroom.

I take a shower due to the previous event.

I go to work.

I come back.

I watch some TV.

I read a book.

I eat dinner.

I realize my dinner contains cheese.

I spend a quarter hour in the restroom.

I thought we were done with these topics? Ah well, I love sharing, my turn to join in! :celebration:

After the DLC comes out and I play it for a little, then I am keeping the game.
and If the DLC doesnt come out next week then I 'll still keepp it.
This game is fun, I was hyped for it since day 1. and i pre-ordered it and everything.. And when I got it and played it for 4 days, leveled up to 20. and unlocked everything. and ever since then I've been levelling other characters and trying different body type/class/weapon combos and skill setups..
btw, I care not for Portal 2, which will most likely be Game Of The Year even though I don't give a [censored], I'll probably only pick it up when it drops even more in price (it's cheaper than Brink here, it seems) and only because my girlfriend pretty much just wants Portal but co-op.

lol Portal 2? You can play that and get bored of it faster than you playing Brink! Only singleplayer and co-op missions. Once you beat it, you beat it. You don't even want to repeat it man, because (you know what?) you know how to complete all the puzzles already! Never thought I'd ever hear this, but Brink's repetitiveness is better! Brink rocks! :mohawk:

You wont get much for it lol. So if you payed full price youll'e be wasting all of that for something like a bus ride or a nice meal. Might aswell just keep it and see if it improves in the future and more dlc comes out for it. better than wasting however much you payed for it on something like a pack of mens socks.

i agree this game made me cry




it was just the biggest letdown of my gaming life

i thought it was going to revolutionize gaming but instead it just pissed me off with its terrible bots and lame noob tubes and piece of crap multiplayer system with all that LAG

(note i am not flaming or trolling this is just my opinion i was genuinly dissapointed with this game i mean i bought a copy for my friend so we could play together and bam it was not good

thanks a lot bethesda and splash damage)

I have just finished the game.... It took a weekend, I didn't really leave the couch much, I only had one shower in about 50 hours, my girlfriend sent me several angry texts asking where I was and why I wasn't answering her calls, and I consumed nothing but high fat junk food all Friday night, Saturday and Sunday, but I did it. Yes, admittedly Im late. I have been over seas for almost two months without my beloved xbox to keep my afternoons exciting, although i pre ordered the game and had it in my hands all of two days before i flew off for lands uncharted, so all i could do was sit and stare at the cover of the game and re read the manual inside over and over again like an anxious teenage girl drooling over her Justin Beiber ticket stub before the concert and hope that the bright colours and awesome picture on the front of my limited edition metal game case would be just a precurser to the countless hours of highly anticipated, incredible game play and "drop you jaw, like nothing you've ever seen" features the "cream-in-your-pants" Brink website and drool inducing cinematic trailers led us to believe was just around the corner.........then.... this. Admittedly I didnt play on the hardest level, I didnt play multi-player online yet, I havent unlocked all the add-ons or achieved all the upgrades yet, so to keep the "die hard loyalists" out there happy and prevent them from jumping down my throat as a "passive weekend gamer that wouldnt know $#!*%", Il admit i havent seen every thing the game has to offer....... but I was disappointed. Sadly, regrettably, disappointed. Where was the groundbreaking customisation I was promised? Where was the unique gameplay and intense action scenes i saw in the trailers? Where was the "edge of your seat" story line that the setting of this truly imaginative theme of mankind struggling for survival on the last remnant of civilisation hinted at? Here i was expecting a game that would change first person shooters forever and leave us all breathless at the way all of this new layout was stitched together over the past four years by the studio that brought us killers like Quake Wars and Wolfenstine... but it just let me making that sound... You know the sound. That one you made when you were 10 and you really wanted that super cool BMX bike for Christmas and you realised at the last second that you got a scooter instead. That slightly let down, "oh.... yay.... um.... thanks" sound. Where was the game I was told was coming to rock my socks? Where was my BRINK?! Now before you pass judgement on me as another [censored]ing know-it-all that flicked through some game review mag on a dentists waiting room table, saw the write up on the up and coming Brink title, thought it would be a good game to try out, and then was let down, let me defend myself. Since the very first press release i have watched with baited breath every single update about this game. Like many countless others, I trolled review sites and mags for their shining reviews they gave SplashDamages new baby... Like an obsessed stalker I prowled Youtube and Machinima and countless other sites, watched and re watched the trailers, poured over all the forums, and admittedly even joined a fan club populated by 13yolds who eagerly pvssyd about their future clans and how they were gona "pone" each other into oblivion.... All in anticipation for a game that was hailed "up and coming game of the year" by so many. Almost four years of my life I have devoted in loyal commitment to following this game.... So I think I should of deserved better. A story line that was as basic as the detail that went into the customisation options I was given left me wondering about the alcohol consumption of the creative department of the studio during development. 2 dozen pre set outfits and face masks, a dozen awkward looking arkotypes and a few cheesy voices.... THAT was the amazing customisation features? And map layout.... you look at the ARK on the web site and you see an amazing world layout that you had hoped you could use fully to your advantage, and spend hours exploring every nook and cranny for new secrets, as in Borderlands, GTA or Fallout, but instead I was placed in these tiny, crudely laid out arenas that had me running around trying desperately to cover my own [censored] and finish a mission almost by myself for lack of assistance from my cumbersome, artificialy un intelligent bot team mates. If I wanted to play in an arena and get blown away while doing a mission alone i would of stuck to Counterstrike. Give me freedom, give me open spaces! And give me a longer game.... 10 or so maps?? Thats it?? Gee.... Halo was short i know but atleast I could play it on legendary and have a challenge. And what is with the story line?? I was disheartened as i heard myself let out a sigh. Now dont get me wrong.... as a gamer who has been there and done that since i was old enough to play Pong with my cousins and have grown up seeing how my passion has evolved from the simple beginnings of Packman and Super Mario Brothers to the now orgism inducing experiences of Modern Warfare and Crisis, i still think Brink has a lot of awesome upsides to it. The ability to choose a side was a nice touch, as was the SMART mobility, and the game plays like a dream as far as combat and "leveling up" is concerned. I spent ages laughing as I went covert behind enemy lines only to pop up and blow my foes away, and loved the satisfaction i got from sliding like a bad [censored] into my opponents shins as i sent him flying, only to jump up and cap him one before bounding up some wall to find my next victim.... but the whole time i was left with this empty feeling of wanting.... I duno.... more. The game had so much potential, so many possibilities for greatness... where did we go wrong? Then i realised its not their fault. Dont blame the studio, or the producers that this game failed to satisfy all our desires.... the fault lies in a more unadmitted place.... Its our fault. Its my fault this game didnt live up to my wildest dreams and expectations. All at once I realised iv lived in a dream world, blissfully accepting the idea that this game would land with the sound of angels singing and boast the blessing of the Almighty himself and solve all my irrational desires for the "perfect game", one combining the ultimate blend of cool graphics, divine game play, awe inspiring AI and breathtaking multi-player features..... When in reality, It, like many other highly anticipated titles before it to come and then fall into the bottomless pit of let downs, was designed with one main goal in mind..... to be the thing we needed at that moment when we just need an escape from our reality we call every day life and entertain us for as long as we give it a chance to.... and then to be finished... or discarded (whatever comes first), and be appreciated as a piece of the journey that we call gaming.... a long and winding road we travel in our quest for entertainment and adventure."
