before u hate on me im not just hating on the game and im not saying its a terrible game but seriously WTF happened

i am just explaining my view on why the game did not change the way we play fps games as it should have
and why it is "dead" (compared to what i thought it should have been)

there are many reasons why it failed to blow up and destroy everything such as the fact that the game devs tottaly changed the game and messed it up from what i was and i think many people were expecting
part one the story or for better word lack of it
for example from what the gameplay showed in videos such as container city gameplay http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmKZchM0AiE (watch the first 2 mins)

part 3 (watch 3 mins in) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fu5QyF0wckU&feature=related

what happened to this

i mean i know that they were aiming for what they called blurring the lines between single and online play but for a person who actually enjoyes a detailed storyline and a campain that dosent feel like multiplayer this just almost ruined my opinion and hype for the game when i played the levels and realized there was no real story within the gameplay. also its not that im mad because it is a multiplayer based shooter but from what they showed i thought it was going to have those cutscenes and story within the game but they did not deliver and that disappointed me

and for the people who say oh well read the diary entries i did and it dosent answer any real questions or svck me in at all it just breaks the storyline
i mean look at black ops (yes call of duty) the online was reduntant and kind of terrible and they do just release the same game with different stuff but look at the story line
it takes you through a story of mystery and keeps you guessing till the end. it also gives you a much more in deph look by showing you other peoples perspectives on the war and has in my opinion a pretty good ending (plus the zombies are awsome)

where was this in brink where was the story we were promised in the videos instead its just a insignificant cut scene in the beginning of every level which is irrelevent and does not really give any real felling to the game (at least it did not for me) i mean i did not expect a really immersive storyline like cod but they could have done a little more for the storyline





reason 2 the bugs

i dont know about you guys but what im seeing is this

the bots are acting dumb and splash damage is doing nothing about it

no patches nothing they say that the bots are supposed to act like that worst of all

so ur telling me that a bot is supposed to stand there and take bullets and completely ignore the objective thus also not at all contributing to the TEAMWORK that this game is supposed to be ALL ABOUT. it is also ironic because they constantly tell you run more then you shoot in the loading screens and with the bots just kind of standing there like there frozen and that just makes the game frustrating for me

and whats with the multiplayer???

its sooooo broken it takes like 50 mins to find a game and when you do the lag is soo bad that i cant pull the shoot and see the gun shoot until like 2 minutes afterword.

and theyre solution is to make it so you can only have 8 players now. so im still seeing the bugs but now with less people.

and i dont know about you guys be for me the smart system although a good idea is just not finished.

there are so many places ive tried to vault and ended up falling off the ledge or whatever and having to start again from the ground and so many places where ive had to try wall jumping/climing like 5 times till it works that i have been latly using the heavy bodytype cause the system is too flawed anyways.


reason 3: SD and there lack of a patch and there lack of support and concern

i could forgive all of what i have said if splash damage had fixed it but noooooooo

they come up with stupid quick fix methods that hinder the gameplay instead of actually fixing the problem

and they keep delaying the fix patch which for me is trying my patients and making me loose my faith in them

they try to keep people svcked in and dodge the issues by offering the first dlc free but not bringing the patch which will hopefully fix all this
yayy ill have fun using the bayonett to stab that guy only for the game too lag out and me end up dead AGAIN (no but seriously the lag really bugs me i dont know about you guys but for me its game breaking and i cant even play online)


and also they dont have enough maps they only started with 8 maps and the dlc will bring it up to 11 which dosent bring up to par with call of dutys 14 maps to start with now 26 with all the dlc (not saying cod is a perfect game very far from it in fact but they have many many more maps than brink)

or bad company 2s 14 maps

and the fact that every map is the same game mode with the exact same battles and the same beginning middle and end is so redundent and boring that ive all but sold the game

also the fact that splash damage did in fact remake the game which too them a whole extra game bothers me epecially since this new one they made dident live up to my expectations


this is only my opinion and you are free to disagree but the point remains that the game is not what it should be



agree with me? have your own points? feel free to post im not trying to troll or :flamethrower: but seriously this game was a BIG dissapointment to me :angry:

TL:DR. I still like the game,it's not COD and that is enough for me.

i agree i am soooo sick of cod but it does have a better story than this game

and if COD has a better story then i think we have a problem here

Story is important in a multiplayer based shooter? Man,that is news to me.

You act as if Brink was alive in the first place :whistling:

i hate the campaign/multiplayer thing but i never ever experienced lag and/or stupid bots they seemed real to me, although they would die often

1. This game is NOT dead. For the PS3, the game is actually growing. I see more and more people on every day!
2. I could barely read that post with all the inappropriate language by-passers. Not to mention the shoddy use of grammatical skills and spelling.
3. The game is being patched! The only thing needed is a lobby system and the game is near perfect!

I won't disagree with anyone that says SD is showing little to no support for their Brink fanbase. They act as if we don't exist, and would rather just ignore everyone so they don't have to do any work. I still love this game, even if it means waiting several more months for the patch and DLC! This is yet another appropriate time to read my sig.

Agreed on all points i recently returned to brink after a long while (like a month) and im very impressed. thought to add something on to the "near perfect": if their isnt a medic based objective all AI medics should be set to "revive nearest teamates"

Brink is not dead, for TWO reasons:

• People are still here on the forums talking about Brink on ALL platforms.
  
• People are still playing it online.

I just logged in and played a game online with 4 humans on each side. This is the case most times when I log in. And for a game with as horrid matchmaking as this currently has (hopefully to be patched) that's not bad at all. Also, just cuz "nobody" plays online doesn't mean it's dead. I actually REALLY enjoy playing offline against bots.

im not saying that its just it really bugs me that they made the game look like that it had this great campaign but then did not deliver

and to everyone else im not saying the game is bad i think it is a great game but these things just bug me and i got bored with it too quick

also what i mean by dead is that compared to what i thought it would be it is

in response to this ive change the op

you are right i did swear too much

i also changed the grammer thank you

as ive said im open to criticism and im not just some troll

At least you didn't ask for tdm/ctf and for that my friend I cannot hate you. As far as story goes I figure the reason it doesnt delve deeper into character development is because you play the campaign from both sides and that requires a more removed, objective approach. Personally, I love the plot for Brink. All the other issues are valid and will be resolved in time.

This made me laugh, and laugh, and laugh some more. Whew.

On topic: Yeah, more work towards this game really could have elevated it from it's poor place now. A few OBVIOUS inclusions in a MULTIPLAYER FOCUSED game that they missed seems to make no sense at all.

Its being patched, and you can't deny it. Time is not an issue for me, as it is for most impatient people.

No, I was talking about the near perfect part. Man, dude, that was hilarious.

As for me, i'm patient, but only as far that needs be. It's not my fault they can't keep up with the loose monthly schedules they throw down because their DLC wasn't up to 'snuff. Hell, i'm still patiently awaiting the Tom Clancy Future Soldier game that's very late now, but at least they're still working on that with a expected Beta drop in early 2012, as well as gameplay at E3.
