may ease your mind... About a 1:50 is what you want...

I'm a casual gamer. I feel like any more competitiveness outside of the game itself kinda svcks the fun out of it. I just play to unwind, laugh about funny deaths, and have a great time in general.

Always can be fun to be competitive though. :tongue:

Who cares, really? If we like the game, it doesn't matter. SD won't suffer a stock drop, but Bethesda will, and I get the feeling they can afford to take a hit. Actually, they won't take a hit. Nothing significant will happen to Bethesda's stock value, even if Brink tanks, because there worth an absolute ton thanks to Skyrim, ownership of Fallout, Doom, and Quake.
Why are we even worrying? Brink looks bloody fantastic, and is highly anticipated by everyone that's bothered to look into it.

I have a solution ladies and gentlmen.

*lays out the plan on the table*

You! Summon the holy H0RSE.
You! Get me a brink bible!
you! Get me my chainsaw! Were going to IGN HQ!

Hoorah! :mohawk:

10,000,000 Mil ?
What are Mils ?
Perhaps you mean millions ?

10,000,000 millions would be 10 trillions.

1 million = 1,000,000
1,000,000 times 10,000,000 = 10,000,000,000,000

That's like the GDPs of 3~5 E.U. countries combined. :spotted owl:

So what If you know what Im talking about theres no big deal.

Some people said that there will be some players who will not buy Brink becouse Its not like COD or Halo I can see that happening and It will.

Ya well, the COD crowd does not have to be considered in this, though. If it's not a COD game, it's worse than COD per se.


BRINK will score low. For some rather odd reason most good games do these days. And even more oddly COD is responsible for this, because it set - again - odd standards.

Now the problem is, that good games score between 80 and 85% usually, which most people consider a "terrible, terrible game" and won't buy it. BRINK will probably be in the same range and people will be reserved wether to buy it or not, just like with Homefront.

Sure it will happen. But it's their loss, not ours. We're getting it, we're going to love it. Nothing else really matters or affects that. You're not going to enjoy the game less if Metacritic scores it low. We all are going to have a blast; who here honestly cares what those reviewers will have to say when you know you're going to have fun anyway?

Anyone who depends on IGNorant whether to buy a game or not isn't worthy of playing Brink.

Are you ready to use these brothers?
*click, click*
Then let's do this!
:mohawk: :gun:

Placing your eggs in one basket are you?

You'd be better off forming an opinion on a cumulative collection of reviews (if you must), rather than one. I hereby introduce you to Metacritic.

One review has a higher chance of being dead wrong than several. Even then, you should form your own opinion based on the data you're presented with. Value your hard-earned dollar, yes, but learn the value of healthy skepticism more. Critical thinking skills are an endangered species. Employers value such skills, which in turn would make you even more money to value.

Give me a game like Brink with off-line splitscreen and I wouldn't need to go back to games like CoD.

Guy's i don't get it why take the word of some person you don't know? It has always been my opinion that you don't know about a game until you try it your self. that doesn't meen go buy the game and waste your money. i usually borrow out the game then get it if it's good.

I didn't realize anything in the 80's range was considered "low", lol! :laugh: I guess some of my fav games: Bayonetta, Jet Set Radio Future, Infamous, Sly Cooper, Jak II, Borderlands (and more!) were HORRIBLE games, then!

Because games are expensive and I do not like renting things. What I do is research as much as humanly possible about the game: looking at gameplay videos, checking out general information about the game, look at forums and people's reactions, playing demos, checking out people's reactions from game expos, etc.

I get more information from doing that sometimes than just one person's review. I also look at Metacritic, because I cannot rely on just one person' review. After doing the research, I then decide for myself if this is something I would enjoy playing.

Also, not every game is even reviewed. Some games go under the radar and I like to check out these games, too.

But it's a (well-informed) decision you yourself have to decide for yourself, not anybody else.

Well, that's my philosophy, anyway, lol! ^_^

Bunny i didn't read all of what you said but it looks like you pretty much just said what i did gone says to thems peeples.

Oh, sorry about that, then, lol! :biggrin: Just making sure they got the point, then, hehe.

Ohh well if thats the case then maybe you should enforce it.

"Enforce" it?

But, but, I don't have the cool Security outfit to do it in! *is sad*

I do feel to many people rely on these corrupt reviews in order to buy the game.
especially PC players

ways to counter this is release PC exclusive footage of its features, gun control server control ect.

1. reason i waiting for verdicts on games now is because not enough exclusive information is released for the PC prior to launch. i mean why should i give a company my money $80 if i havent even see it running on my platform prior to purchase.

Im sure if i was able to see more content of it running well, having everything the fps scene needs then id gladly go down to my local store and put some money on it.
otherwise i wait for reviews on the esports scene once launch hits to decide whether or not its another portoffaiL
cant trust those mainstream (payed) reviews i mean ign gave blackops 85 that game didnt deserve anything above 65

I dunno if you been living in a box or not, but most magazine editors and rep who have come across Brink at various Game Expos over the last year, have already given it praises and said they cannot wait for the game to be release, as well blog sites have express excitement for the game as well after trying the floor demos. So basically Brink has nothing to worry about on the REVIEW end when it comes time to, Brink has not been HYPED beyond words like some other titles that have not shown little or no game plays at all before release.

Ive already pre-ordered the game so wont b lookin at reviews till at least after I own the game. Even if I hadn't bought it yet, the review would have to be a score of 5 or lower to give me pause cause then you know there must be some major technical and functional flaws. Like thats going to happen. Im estimating a 9/10 from honest reviewers.

I can careless about reviews from IGN or the like. They just review games based on games that were presently released, and ignore everything else.. Its all compare and contrast. I buy anything and try it, despite what anyone else said, my enjoyment is all I concern myself with, and splash as well as Bethesda never let down.
