This writer has only reviewed 2 games on this site with the maximum being an 8, so he/she seems to be a hard grader in the first place

Litle bit average, I dont know or this guy played on 360, otherwise the graphic issues are because of day one patch.. ;o

The graphics are fine if you're not camping. If you camp you have time to stare at each individual pixel, but the dynamic nature of brink will save that. I think they also can't really review unless they played with a bunch of people as that is a large part of it. I'll wait for the metacritic review, which I will just be reading on my phone during class as I wait to get back to the game!

I stopped reading when the reporter tried to reference it to CoD.. Silly mistake.

Why only a 7.2 He only had negative feedback toward the graphics (which will be taken care of day 1.) The rest was positive. I dont understand how one negative thing that will be fixed warrants a 7.2.

Other than the graphical issues [which are fixed a day in the future], he had nothing bad to say. Graphics are important so I guess you could add a point and half to two points to get the release day score of between 8.75 to 9.25. Once the patch is downloaded,Good news actually. Can the revewer have played full multiplayer online before the release date?
If not then it really should not of been reviewed.

Well, get to the role. You have no GF, you post bad reviews. Nobody gives a damn. YOU GOTTA MAKE IT BACK ON SOMETHING :ahhh: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

[censored] idiots review a game based on multiplayer before they can play online. They shouldn't be allowed to review before release, it's going to hurt SD.

IGN gamestats put this game at 98.3 O_O with no real score yet

I got this vibe as well. He only makes reference to one area of weakness (that being animation and aesthetis issues). While I agree the animations are pretty weak in some areas like when someone's downed, I hardly think that qualifies a whole 3 points off the whole score. That minor problem aside the rest of the review was overwhelmingly positive. Weird.

Also: "Another nice addition to the gameplay, is the SMART (Smooth Movement Over Random Terrain) system"

SMORT? I'm surprised no one's commented on that yet. Hahaha

He didn't just criticize the graphics. He also didn't like the bots and the single player aspect. He even said something along the lines of don't get the game unless you have friends playing it.

Oh yeah.. Thanks for correcting me. I forgot about those comments as they were earlier in the review. Good call.

It has been confirmed that he didn't review it after the patch,

but the game is boasting great AI and at PAX East people didn't know it was a bot they thought the AI was outstanding...?

who here thinks we should make a big angry mob...no special reason to make a mob but it's just so fun all the torches and pitchforks and stuff.

» Sat Aug 14, 2010 1:54 am

Basing things on his writeup of the game, and my own knowledge of the game...

I'd use the same numbers he did.

7.25

Unlike this reviewer, though, my rating would be out of 5 instead of 10.

I'm fairly confident I'll rate it lower than that after playing myself, but he hasn't raised any criticisms I personally care about.

After watching both the hard mode bots and about 10 pre-release players by now, almost everyone seems absolutely terrible at this game. I'm willing they svck because of games like COD that are just twitch shooters compared to how much more complex this game is. Comparing the average skill of the gameplay videos I've seen against the hard difficulty level bots, I wouldn't even be surprised if some people could spot bots just because they were so much better than the player.
