The Sixth Axis - 9/10
"Brink has massive potential."

American here ( I Love the Game like it is a addiction to me i already have a second character made 1st is level 12 and he is medic and im gonna try to make my different characters different classes(Sound familar from some other worldwide MMO lol ) with my other 6 im gonna split em between two somehow and make em all different archetypes REALLY GREAT GAME F IGN

all that matters is whether I LIKE IT...and I love it! I was in denial about the problems...but if everyone says there's lag...then there's lag ...regardless of whether I am experiencing it. I did avoid bots at all costs because of the reviews. I heard there was another...2nd patch that went out last night....did not log back on to check but hopefully there will be further optimizations.

Many reviewers come in with their own biases...I just wish we had full disclosure. Did they play only with bots? We already know that they got a unfinished version of the game, but still. I saw one ps3 reviewer rip it and spend the majority of the review about the bots...well it's on ps3 so there's no way you could have tested the multiplayer at all.

I like the game.. I just wish they'd fix the network issues for 360.. Hell I can put up with a little muddy textures for this game.. but the lag... no..

I'm already pondering on exchanging Brink for L.A. Noire.

In all honesty... This game doesn't deserve a 10/10. It doesn't even deserve an 8/10. (On the Xbox 360 version anyway). The graphics: rubbish (weird blur, non-loading textures etc.), and the networking (online play) is (currently) trash. (The reason for it being trash is because the lag is god awful for near everyone).

My personal rating of the game sits at about a 7.0 - 7.5. The reason, mentioned above, the PS2/beer-vision graphics and the horrible networking. If Splash Damage fixes these issues I'll love Brink, and it will easily become an 8.5 - 9.0 in my eyes. (I know gameplay is above all else but current/next-gen graphics are nice as well). (Something Brink does not have as of right now).

I feel like I'm playing a game during its beta-no alpha phase. The foundation is solid, but overall the experience lacks polish that would make it "bi-winning". If Splash Damage resolves this issue 75% - 100% Brink will be a favorite of mine. However...if they don't fix these issues in a timely manner, or at all, I know I won't be purchasing a Splash Damage product ever (ever!) again.

I Love it!! hahahahahaahahaaa!!! :flamethrower:
