Brink Overall Thoughts and Improvement Ideas

Post » Fri May 04, 2012 11:18 am

Oh, Brink. I think this game is a pretty good one. It's a perfect mix of a multiplayer shooter and a complex story game. But it does have it's flaws. Like, for example, maybe you could make the bots a little more realistic? If you set it to a hard difficulty, the bots go beast mode, which you would expect, but I've seen multiple cases of snap-to aiming. And, what about the customization? Having different genders and ages in the game would make it more deep in story, and easier to feel like you're in the Ark. And, I mean, yeah, there's over 10 million different possibilities, but I would love to see full color changing options. Like, for The Bug mask, you could have green eyes, have the plate be purple, and the cloth be blue. It would give players more of a feeling that's like "Wow. They weren't kidding about the customization!" And he would round up his buddies and show them his crazy colored character. And, also, custom guns? I was thinking custom colors, and emblems on the parts on the gun. How crazy would a Assault Rifle be if it was colored green, with a blue clip and a yellow Muzzle Brake, with emblems of eagles and stars on the sides? Pretty cool. Plus, it would match outfits perfectly. All of the above unlocked through leveling up. Otherwise, Brink is great! I've had a blast shooting everything in sight. I'm currently working on the Tough as Nails achievement. Also, I'm creating super characters for every class. All Universal Abilities and the abilities for the class. I currently only have the Soldier. Also, for Brink 2, I world be stunned if it was free-roam. Like, you start with nothing, and join the Resistance Or Security by going to the headquarters. Then, you roam around, and get calls from the commander for missions. You'd unlock gear by beating missions, or by doing certain things, like get 500 kills, or get 20 grenade knockdowns in 1 match. If you're killed while roaming, you start back at your team headquarters, with some money lost, and your commander warning you about whatever you did. Or, back at your house, with your parents doing the same. If you die while in a mission, however, you'd respawn normally. As the Resistance, you'd escape the Ark and find help from the outside world. Then, lead them to your plane, and rise against the Security, then take over the Ark! Or, as the Security, you'd defend certain positions against the Resistance, until they finally give up, and then you defended the Ark! This will be updated regularly as I get more ideas. Nice job on Brink!

P.S: I think they could have tried a little harder. Every kid dreams of battles like this, with hi-tech equipment and guns, and if Bethesda would stop working on the next Elder Scrolls or Fallout for a few seconds, this could be better than C.O.D! Yeah, the graphics are good, and the gameplay is solid, but, when I finished the game, I didn't get that feeling of "I did it." I got the feeling of beating that wierd game you got at a garage sale for two bucks. Like I said, it's time to stop with C.O.D and B.F.3 and try something else! This has GOT to stop!


7.5/10.

That's basically the exact same thing I said in "BRINK Thoughts..." I agree with you all the way, except I give it a 8/10. I personally love this game! I really do hope they make BRINK 2.....(sigh)

I hope this was a silly April Fools joke or something. Did you even get the setting they're in? Also...

Just the afternoon i thought of the perfect idea. Their sould be a choice of gender or you can make you own clan or team in the security or resistence so you and you freinds can fight with people that you trust or you can choose to fight with strangers or computers your dision. Dont you agree?

Beth talked about why there is no females a while ago. They said that having a female would seriously limit customization. They went into more detail of why not.

I would have to disagree. The game is just so... thin, and lack luster that it struggles to hold together, and even the multiplayer becomes dull after three matches and the cycles of what to do begin to show. Weapons aren't that great, their stats are about bold faced lies, movement and animation just feels unnatural.

And the story is horrifically bland, though the setting and art is magnificent.

This game is like, Operation Raccoon City: Should have been so much better, but if you can get past the flaws, is quite enjoyable for a little while before it just gets dull. Closer to a 4 then a 7.

In my honest opinion at least.

I totally disagree with everything you just said! How dare you? If you don't like this game then please just don't post anything about how BRINK svcks, I hate it when people say something bad about it. I personally LOVE this game for everything it gave, I just hope they make another sequel or something... And don't say they're not making a BRINK 2 because I already know, I just HOPE.

I hope you noticed the key words "In my honest opinion"...We can say that a game is good, just don't shove other people's opinions down the toilet just because they think different than you. Most of his points actually makes sense (seriously, integrating SP. and MP. was probably worst idea in this case. I can see SD's intentions, but the story should of actually went deeper.)
You have no idea if they are going to continue with Brink. It will be amazing if they did it right. RIGHT, like a game should be. First impressions make an impact, and those impressions of Brink are meh at best. The game has progressed, but it is still sort of average, even if I have fun with it.

Yeah, I know it does have some bumps and it's true that most of the things he said were in fact true, but what I'm trying to say is that I don't like it when people post rude comments about BRINK, it just bothers me. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Biohazzard, I think I got the idea for the post from your article! I just added some of my ideas to the mix. And I agree there should be gender and age customization, too. Thanks for all the extra ideas so far!

Thanks! It would be awesome if that actually would happen. They said that females would mess the game up or something like that, and that's why they didn't add any gender customization to it.

That's like saying it's impossible to put good story in a futuristic shooter. Every kid dreams of battles like this, with hi-tech equipment and guns, and if Bethesda would stop working on the next Elder Scrolls or Fallout for a few seconds, this could be better than C.O.D! Like I said, it's time to stop with C.O.D and B.F.3 and try something else! This has GOT to stop!

We need those to differentiate ourselves from everyone else. We don't need a community like CoD's....
