so when choosing clothing to unlock is it more " get this level to get it" or ex pay-out?

You know what? I've watched so much of this game for so long, I know I'll like it. I think we all get upset purely because we want everyone else to like it too and we get defensive.
Thanks for the post, bud.
Made me feel a lot better coming from a hard-core fan like most of us here.

Try three round burst style and crouching. The game suggested it and it works very nicely!

hmm ive read the replys and seems like an awesome game i was getting worried that the reviews werent bull crap and my preorder was a waste of time thx for the good (and not negative) review keep it up =D

You get to preview all clothing and body stuff before you buy. You earn unlock points as you play and it doesnt take forever to get them. Theres challenge mode that unlocks weps and various other things and then campaign mode just gives XP which also unlocks but in a more linear way.

For example, Challenge 2 - Get 2 stars and get Barret, RED DOT, ect ect. . .

LOL BRO. . .IGN gave it 6/10. So they are saying HOMEFRONT and MEDAL OF HONOR are better games than BRINK? BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. . .IGN has lost all if they ever had any credibility with me.

Love this game so far. Took some getting used to, but once I got the hang of it, it is a blast. For those who just like to go for kills and don't like team/objective based games, then this might not be for you. I love team games, and you level faster by doing things that help your team, vs. going for kills and free roaming on your own. This game is all about sticking together and having the back of your squad members. If you don't like that, then go back to COD and enjoy your frag-fest with endless killstreaks, spawn campers and everyone playing as an individuals.

My only concern is "What of the multiplayer / co-op" - Is it really as complicated as people are making it out to be?

I understand theres no lobbys - But how exactly does it work then?

Do you HAVE too have friends playing it- in order to drop in drop out?

Or can you "For example on Steam PC people" - Can you still select "servers" refresh, and join one of those games?

Its just becoming quite frightening how confusing people are making it all sound.

Co-op to me is most important/

This is what I wanted to hear. When I think back over my favourite fps experiences (goldeneye, timesplitters etc) it was simply about having fun, playing for the sake of playing. We've got lost in a world where our every action needs rewarding, where we're always looking for the next goal to aim for, just one more level and I can unlock that weapon, that accessory. To what end though? Back in the day the tools were already there from day one, every weapon available for everyone. "Here's your toys, go have some fun". Now developers restrict these toys, they say "No you have to earn them, you have to keep playing our game" and we've become used to it, we've forgotten that it wasn't always that way.

So you can unlock everything in Brink within a day or so. And? Should we now stop playing because there's no carrot on the end of the stick? Or should we enjoy the freedom the tools at our disposal now give us and go out and enjoy ourselves?

Right on man.

Ha, yeah Braveheart, almost inspirational there

Getting more and more excited now too... but as was said above, any more info on the 'lobby' system?
Cheeeeers.

Did you have to download a patch for ps3...i was playing bioshock 2 when i got a prompt to update

im worried if i update it without psn up i will get ylod

You can update any game because the game company is responsible for the update servers not Sony. . .I also updated with Bioshock 2. Man that game is hard!

After 10 hours of gameplay. . .


I have wall walked straight to an enemy and melee killed him. I have had a medic toss my a syringe from the second floor while I was on the first in the middle of planting a bomb. I have straight up parkour 'ed like it was DANCING WITH THE STARS. Fellow gamers, every game has its bugs to work out. If you met a hot chic with an awesome body, but found out she had bad breath, would you dump her? No, you would buy her a pack of gum. The same applies to BRINK. Engage it, dont abandon it because some fat guy who sits in a cubicle all day listening to himself give reviews to games he hasn't even fully played.

I was trying hard to get an objective when I had to escort a turret when I decided on the fly to escort some guy on my team. LOL, we both balcony dived off the third floor into a bunch of enemies and straight neo/trinitied them into last week. I was screaming and laughing because I play on a 1080p 50 inch widepanel LCD and had a bit too much "COFFEE" and I saw the guy with the jesse ventura hat get naded into a wall. Wow, haters. . .You are missing out. I am having the time of my life. Cheers!

<3 You sire, deserver a turtle :turtle:

AWESOME

Loved it man, hope its still going as well when i get on!

Definitely buying the game after this! Thank you sir. :turtle:

good to hear, im still waiting on mine to be delivered :banghead:

BRINK did not port anything, so I feel confident that PC, 360 and PS3 versions, after fresh patches, will be nice and smooth as they just need a little touch up.

Excellent comment. Anybody who criticises the levelling system should take note.

If you met a hot chic with an awesome body, but found out she had bad breath, would you dump her? No, you would buy her a pack of gum.

Ah, them be words of wisdom kiddies, take heed! It could happen to you. (Also, suggest daily teeth brushing. You think it would be a given but...)

Great post! I too am enjoying the game. (After HOURS of bug fixing, and re-installing.) Its a fantastic game, that is just BRUTAL. I love it. Alot of the haters are A. Having issues. or B. Didn't research into the game before purchase.

I won't lie. . .Jim Morrison. . .Lead singer of THE DOORS and a native of my hometown, said that. Is it not so true?

I will second that sir.

I think that your point "B: Didn't research into the game before purchase." is the dominant reason as to why people are hating on this... Granted I haven't played it, but to me it seems very different to most other popular shooters, especially in the movement and customization of char looks department.

• The only time my PS3 moves is when I take it out of the box. And I am VERY careful.
  
• I did have it plugged into a dual-socket surge protector for a year, but it's awkward shape meant it kept slipping out of the socket and it's gotten to the point where my monitor unplugs and turns off every few seconds.
  
• I have only ever put them base-side down.
  
• I wouldn't know how to vacuum it safely, but about every month or two I vacuum, dust, and clean all surfaces of my room.
  
• It used to be a foot and a half off the ground in a wide cupboard, rotated 90^o and placed in the middle so it has room to breathe. I would close the cupboard when I wasn't playing. Now (because of my latest monitor's awkward cables) it's on top of the cupboard, a good three feet off the ground, with all the ventilation in the world.

So I do try take care of my consoles. :biggrin: Obliviondoll thanked me for taking all the world's faulty consoles... yenno, taking one for the team. They were all fat consoles, but it got the point where Sony/Tech Support upgraded me to a larger slim for free. It's still yet to break on me 10 months down the line; it freezes on freeze-prone games, but nothing too worrying.
