Defensive style does not mean a complete lack of offense.

The invalidation continues.

Hmm. don't see where everyone is comin from, my graphics are good, bots do their job, realy, yall just like complaining.
Edit; the bots can kick @$$, but they wanted you to play, they said they will patch in the baddazz bots if they are wanted

I aint bro, its just I don't and will simply not tolerate the kind of people who come to a forum for a game they do not like. Opinions of those who engage in this behavior, mean nothing to me. It is not something I would ever do. Seriously, you cant find something better or that you enjoy doing. Sell it, move on you'll be forgotten quickly. The developers dont read this forum. Splashdamage has it's own offical forums. But you didnt know that because you didn't put thought or research very well where you spent your 60$ I think I speak for quite a few folks here when I say I find your dissipointment amusing. Hopefully you learned a valuable lesson and can avoid such a mistake in future.

I bought the game' fair enough reason for me to be angry like anyone else that purchases something

Because disappointment doesn't mean hatred. I am disappointed in the game. I like the game. I just think it needs MORE to be great. It's amusing to hear people are mad at spending $60 on a $30 game? Wow.

What's worse? People complaining about a product in hopes they get things changed.....or people reading about people complaining about a product they hope gets changed and saying "stop complaining"


So, it's sort of like......stop complaining about people complaining, cause you yourself are complaining about the complaining people complaining about a game they are "disappointed" in.

Really...

I am a PS3 user... the network is down. As far as the solo campaign goes, any CoD or BF: Bad Company game is honestly crap. I would kill for a refund. Do not miss understand me I've been a casual gamer since PS1 played everything from Crash Bandicoot, Red Faction, Dragon Valor, etc... I am rip [censored]... tough economy and I spent my hard earned cash on a game that feels all in all plain flawed. Either the developers are delusional or I am just nuts, but the entire CoD/BC "immersive first-person shooter" svcks. I've clocked in several hours trying to enjoy the games, played every mission/story... svcks. A game should be able to stand alone minus the whole MP aspect, and CoD/BC falls way flat. I've bought cheaper and better games from stores for a fraction the price compared to this S#@!!t. Boring, receptive, predictable, a jumble of crap. I am so pissed off. I may actually try and reseal this crap and return it and if that does not work I may go throw the disc in a blender alongside some old version of dance dance revolution and some moldy old meat and feed it to some poor wild animal... thus producing what could be called dance dance crap... oh CoD/BC! I want my money back.

In all seriousness, I love BF:BC & BC2 but FPS campaigns are always weak and rarely worth it. Seriously just wait for goddamned PSN to be back up. There are some games that are LITERALLY unplayable due to the outage, that don't even HAVE an SP element. Who knows, you may have a total change of heart.

i dont get all this hate for sp, when you saw sp mp intergration what did you think? with 5 seconds of thought you should've been able to figure out how the sp would've been mp with bots. the only thing i thought i would see people complaining about is the challange bots ai and lag issues online on 360.

I did not do enough research into the game. Man I don't just buy [censored] for the ps3 I will jump my stuff over to the splash damage forum. The only reason I came here first is because I this forum is where I came a few months back before buying the game. I was psyched for it and was horribly disappointed. Value lesson... man you've got no idea what the hell you are talking about. I came to this spot with an opinion. The game svcks I wish someone had told a few months ago that I'd be given four levels with some cut scenes some guns and that is all. Apparently the multi player is amazing and going to be amazinger. I would have liked a solid game from the get go.

Well what do you expect on Brink forum Turbo? Medal of Honor let me down too. The Chokepoints with a little map thrown in, combined with ridiculously Oped support actions made that game fun for 1 or 2 players per round. It was a paradise for campers that put COD to shame. But thing was I wouldnt waste my time on the forums over there, repeat what thousands of people already said and would say for long after i went back to other games and Life. Besides,The battlefield demo key is worth 60 bucks anyways. But i knew that going in because I research my purchase. I Dont buy things I dont like, go website full of people who like the thing that I dont and lay on them like they work in customer service people. Its pretty rude. Now move on.

What is this SP magic you talk of? I don't even own Battle Front and I've only got a few online games that feature huge multi player I have yet to even beat Call of duty black ops am I missing something?

I'm sorry if your PS3 network is down or your internet connection isn't great but I'm reading a lot of complaints that just aren't that valid. It's not like you didn't know the PSN was down when you bought it, so it's kind of your fault, you wouldn't waste your money on reading glasses if you were blind would you? How are some people are going to say that a primarily on-line game svcks when they have yet to actually play it on-line? That's like saying a car drives like crap when it's still in park. The point is you really don't know. Sorry you made a purchase you regret, while Sony works on getting their network back up you should probably work on getting over it.

This is because the Ark was actually designed as a paradise for gay couples and, as we have all seen, didn't work out so well...

The AI is pretty awful I will grant you that so I wouldnt judge BRINK based on the single player. Ive played the campaign on both sides online and offline on XBL and the online is great. The offline is frustrating mainly due to the fact that the AI dont seem to want to capture objectives, or when they grab a carry item they run the wrong way...
But the online vs matches are amazing, really intense fast paced game play. Each class plays a very important role, and the game play seems to be very well balanced. Before you make a BRINK smoothie or sell it back for 1/2 the price Id wait to try it online, I dont think that you will be disappointed.

dont blame the makers friend, its not there fault you can not understand the game, and its not there fault you dont read up before you buy it.
flaming someone else is easy.

Single player is not great..flat out. But the online experience is phenomenal. This is the perfect game for friends.

QFT. I feel incredibly misled as a consumer. They pulled a fast one with this PoS

I've enjoyed the lag free games, but they are rare. And I don't understand why this team based game has no lobbies and getting into matches with friends is so hard. If these issues get fixed I'd be pumped.

Coming from a PS3 user myself:

Many games are actually moving to only multiplayer experiences (see MAG). This is one of those games. They created an interesting back story to support the multiplayer but ultimately were focused on the multiplayer.

I agree, the campaign is terrible. They should have either done a better job or done away with it all together in my opinion. However, I think you may have rushed you judgement on the game. I would suggest waiting till PSN comes up next year (HA!) Also, I can see how this game might not suit everyone. It's pretty hectic and you have to be on your toes and moving all the time. It's not for everyone.

SPlash has done more multiplayer based games( ET:QW) so campaign was a first for them. It's not great, but not bad for a game that gives you a backstory to why your fighting at these locations and what your fighting for.

Yes the single player is not very fun, no real story and the AI... :banghead: You couldnt just pick the class that you enjoyed for the SP. You had to switch to the primary objective class or else the AI would not even attempt to complete them. Id sit there and watch Ops sit by the hacking objective and either be shooting at very distant enemies or staring at the wall. Very frustrating trying to complete the grab the item objectives watching my AI teammates either fighting over command posts when we had less than a minute left, or grabbing the item and running the wrong way / right into groups of enemies. Im really annoyed at the reviews i read proclaiming how amazing the AI was, and the people saying they couldnt tell who was a person and who wasnt, they must of have been on crack.

That being said the online versus multiplayer is amazing and once they iron out the connection issues this game will replace all other FPS for a while for me.

I think this is a big part of the problem. It doesn't fit people's expectations not necessarily of quality but of what a game is to them. Even if people did know that this game was radically different from other shooters they still incorporated it into their own past experiences of gaming and it, obviously doesn't fit the mold. Yes, you do get more xp for buffing than for going for an objective - if you buff people 50 times you'll probably get more xp than going for once. It's positive reinforcement. You'll get more xp for helping other people out that for killing people, for instance. You'll even get a stream of xp just for standing in the defensive zone. No, there isn't capture the flag, but there is retrieve the intel. There isn't king of the hill, but there is defend the HE charge. The great thing is that all of those things are going on at once. There isn't team death match and there never will be, because it's not balanced for it. Some classes are just better than others at killing. I also think it'll take longer than two days for people to start developing and refining diverse tactics. I don't think it will go the way of Medal of Honor, either, because this game is nothing like it.

im on 360 and i think its called brink because its on the brink of being good and im on the brink of returning it
seriously, im never preordering a video game again, especially one from bethestha

i personally love the game and when PSN is back up i can see this game over-taking other FPS's but if i had to make a list of its faults:

-Bots on my team have the survival skills of a snowball on the sun

-I can't be the one class i prefer cause i have to keep switching

-Its much easier to Defend then Attack & MG nests don't make this any easier for attacking side

-Having to choose which side you want to fight for but then can switch between them at will

-Enemy AI will ignore the fact they have guns to slide tackle you

-the almost Aimbot accuracy the Bots have

-Gun Customization feels a bit shallow you have like the same 6 parts in each category for where you can place it

-There are places it seems the Medium can't get too but it seems like he should

The Perfect Dark for N64 and Xbox 360 is better than this, definitely for much less.
I mean think about on the N64 there was a crap load of story objectives and mission
modes. Why couldn't this feature the same stuff.

If you would rather go play an N64 game than Brink, then go do so and spare the rest of us for your useless complaints. If any of you had followed just a little bit up on what Brink is supposed to be, then you wouldn't be complaining about bots because you wouldn't be fighting bots. It's like saying Counter-Strike svcks because the bots are crap.

Brink the drink coaster
