Okay, I have seen alot of threads on the issues in Brink and I have seen them and played through them. But I have personally found it has less issues then most other shooters on the market right now. And of course the issues it does have the companies that made the game have promised fixes. When was the last time you heard that from the people at Activision or Infinityward. I would say never.

So this thread goes out as a thumbs up to Brink and its creators.

One for making a good game and even standing up and fixing the problems in it. Unlike Call of Duty or Battlefield that just keeps flinging out the same games over and over again and never fixing a single mistake or admitting that there are any. Even when it is obvious there is when people abuse lag, unrealistic easy to gain spam weapons, or the ability to just hide in a corner and snag people that run by. On top of that at least in Brink when I hit people with my bullets it does something. Battlefield has become so vehicle focused that regular guns barely do anything to someone that a medic can't fix by tossing a kit at there feet. And Call of Duty has the constant running problem of having human shaped models that do not have human hit zones. Such as when crouching it moves the headshot area to the chest while the head of the model itself counts as empty space.

Not the biggest FPS gamer, but Brink plays out near-enough the same if not better than a CoD title, and is actually playable unlike Borderlands. I have no problem with BF games, they're still fun, but I've had more fun & accomplishment in my 3 weeks on Brink than in BC Vietnam, 2142, BC and BC2 combined.

I think altho S.D would like it to be a hit like other AAA titles , they made this game for ppl that get it. meaning no compromise Brink is one of those games like shadowrun, either you get it or you dont and that is what i feel sd aim was suppose to be. they know the ppl who love it will be playing for a long time as long as they support it, and as long as they support it i will be playing till the 2nd game.

Please go get a vasectomy...

must be a tdm/cod/stat guy(lives at home w mummy n daddy) w/o a life

Once again, the petty insults and the poor grammar/spelling indicate you are a 12 year-old fan b0y.

Oh and your previous post made no sense. Get what? It? Nor does any company want a few players that will play for a long time, they want A LOT of players, unless you need to pay a monthly fee. Otherwise they won't make much money.

Petty insult yet you replied first troll? you dont like it leave or go rant about how u would like your money back etc. grow up n put ur e-peen back in your pants. not a really devoted fan just tired of lames like you who have zero to say.

Petty insult means PATHETIC. Pathetic has nothing to do with "who said it first".

And you really shouldn't be talking about growing up when you can't even use proper English grammar.

this is not class nor where I work. tappin from an htc in a forum apparently full of ppl like you w/ no life who just scour the forums trying to sound better than everyone. get a life grab a girl get sum a$$ n take the stick out of yours.

...I'm glad I left Brink.

But still, don't forget about that vasectomy.

when u grow a pair then maybe you'll be old enough to kno what one is

But you didn't even bother to take in account that it's multiplatform and not just on PC,like your link is showing.

Besides,that Where the hell is WoW on that list?

*moderator note: :nono: No flaming, no namecalling and no avoiding the autocensor.*

Okay back to my reply: I know that but just on one platform (and for the platform it is intended for) that number is pretty bad. 2nd of all WoW isn't on Steam. It's Blizzard.

You're right, it totally wasn't planned as a multiplatform title well before release...

:facepalm:

Going to stop trolling yet?

Steam stats matter not at all on PS3, which is where most of the satisfied customers are staying.

Not to mention it's a niche game, and will probably keep those 3000-ish players for years, possibly building up a bigger community as time goes on and patches fix the PC and XBox issues, and those few on the PS3.

EDIT: Also... Good job, OP. Glad you're enjoying the game too.

It's tough as a game developer.

Release the same trollop you did last year - Get flamed and then sell millions
Try to do something new - get flamed and then sell hundreds

It's just a backwards industry. I welcome brink's fresh approach - but I will be playing BF3 when it comes out.

Brink would've been better if it was done better, basically.

And as I remember, Bad Company 2 had some bad lag the first week or so, and then it was fixed. Pretty damn quickly.

And the MW2 guys worked l to fix the problems, and the fix the problems they made with the fixes. Yeah, you can take advantage of things. But that's more puss out gaming then the developers fault. [Though a bit of better design could have avoid some of that.]

However I could say the same thing about Brink's map's. Atleast in BF or CoD you can choose where to go, Brink pretty much tells you where to go and when you can do it. Not counting those side passages, but still, a few of them start and end in common passage ways. And usually not worth using.

Plus... Iunno, I find it funny you're complimenting Brink's weapons over battlefields... Haha... atleast there they'll kill something.

And Halo's gotten a few updates and playlist changes for it's players, so, no... SD are far from the only guys who back up there game. Good thing too, 'cause this game was horrible when released. Still bad, but getting better.

dont put cod and BF in the same category. BF has created a whole new sort of FPS experience: vehicles, destruction, MASSIVE maps etc and each one had had new elements, cod just rips everyone else off. ok, bc2 was their worst game but it was never supposed to be a proper BF title, its a console port, hopefully bf3 will be a sucessor to bf2 and not bc3 with more people (well, the pc version will be, due to the low spec of consoles they only get 24 people again!!). i agree sniping is an issue in bc2 but it never was in any previous versions. and if you cant kill in BC2 with the guns they maybe you need to stop playing FPS. i can easily kill 3 or 4 people with one clip in most guns.

brink still has issues. i can play bc2 everything maxed out 16x anistropic etc. in brink i need to downgrade the graphics so much to get it to play smoothly. and even then its ~20 fps at times. and my gfx card is the recommended top card!

vietname is horrendous. i maybe played 5 maps. too many choke points etc

bf2142 was immense. i still think if they made an updated version it would blow any other fps apart. titan mode! walkers, great toys. amazing squad play. commanders! FTW i loved that game and played it for years. it actually innovated in a big way. in the last 5 years no other fps has come close to that innovation. titans 2x bigger than any brink map that you can control! no 2 games were ever the same

Might be that I had the Mac port or something, but I was only ever able to play against bots because it lagged horrendously online. I didn't quite get the full experience, since that AI was worse than Brink and the controls were awful. :sadvaultboy:

Same deal with Vietnam, except at the time our internet was just too awful to handle it on top of the fact the PC was ancient and could barely run bots. So I probably didn't get the whole online community experience with either, which was a shame. A modern update of 2142 would be great though gameplay-wise, but I don't really think the class progression is anywhere near as interesting as some other games around today.

Borderlands unplayable?! in what way? Borderlands is a fantastic game that ive put many hours into. maybe too many hours..lol I know its an FPS, but its a very different kind of FPS to Brink, so you cant really compare the two

Back on topic. I love Brink and what SP have tried to do. Yeah theres a few bugs, but what game doesnt have em? The general gameplay is spot on IMO. The only thing i can think of where it falls short is a lobby system for when you want to play with friends/clans. and more gamemodes/maps

Brink is Better MP...

I think millions upon millions of people would disagree (and rightfully so) with you. Say what you will,
but if Brink were truly better in the multiplayer department then we would have several hundred thousand
people playing it to back that up instead of the several thousand that are playing it on each platform.

Oh, and a tip: when you say that something is better than something else you might want to include
examples of why you think that is so instead of just bashing the other product (that millions of people
deemed to be better) with obvious bias.This topic seems more like a rant against CoD and BF games
than one that praises the supposed better game.

They usually tend to call people that do that F A N B O Y S....and I tend to agree with them in this case.

Borderlands IS a fantastic game, yes. I didn't have any exams for my final year of high school last year, so I spent the month whilst all my friends and girlfriend were in exams glued to my PS3 unable to shake my Borderlands addiction. I'd nearly finished through a 4th time before Brink came out.

Thing is, it's P2P is HORRIBLE. It may not be noticeable to some US players, but for me it's atrocious. Even 2-player online Co-Op with a US host, there is literally a 1-second delay to every single controller button input. I press X... a second later I jump. I press R1... a second later I shoot. I move the left anolog stick... a second later I move. If I'm the host then it happens to everybody else, and they just leave. The only people I know who play Borderlands don't live anywhere near me around the globe, so MP was literally unplayable to me. At least with Brink I can join a Co-Op game with 5 US players and not feel any lag at all.

I don't know millions of people think Justin Beiber is good, but that doesn't mean it's true.

Precisely, it's a taste thing. Music on the radio for the most part certainly isn't of high quality in musicianship or composition very often, it's just what is the most accessible and profitable to air for the radio to develop interest in advertising. I don't think Brink is the "best MP" around in a matter-of-fact sense, it just ticks all the boxes for me personally.
