I'm a hardcoe Dynasty Warrior fan. Been playing the game since the 1st one on PSOne. Historically, the DW series never manages a review score over 6. The latest entry DW7 got a 7, which is the highest review for it to date, but the review sites sight the same issues from previous games as it's short comings. Repetitive gameplay, lack of originality in the series, etc. Meanwhile the DW community numbers in the millions, and many of us have been part of it for well over a decade, buying, playing and having fun with every new entry.

Case in point of my above passage, WHO CARES about what review sites say? Who cares if a game doesn't meet their lofty CoD sized expectations. The from what I read from actual people who have the game is that it's fun to play. That IS the reason why we play video games as a hobby, correct? To have fun. In layman's terms, if you need a review site to tell you what and what not to purchase as a consumer, you're not the most educated person, are you? The "reviews" you should be paying attention to are the testimonials of people who AREN'T being paid to review something, and put little effort into that review because they're in a rush to get back on BO. Because the community will tell it straight, unbiased and to the point. And as a few people in this thread has stated, SD will be patching the kinks out rapid fire once they've set up the infrastructure.

In closing: Use what god gave you called a brain and make your own damn decision on a game. The issues I read them picking on in that review are issues that exist in every FPS game ever made. So what makes them worse in Brink then in CoD, or Halo, or even my default FPS game of choice MAG? If you take the IGN, G4 and so on reviews seriously, do us all the solid of never playing another video game again. Because you're the consumer contributing to the degradation of innovation in games as a whole. Flocking to the cookie cutter games that are rehashes of either it's previous edition, or "borrowing" the formula of another game completely. Whereas a game like Brink, that tries to blur the lines and take the genre a different direction is reviewed poorly...pretty much because it's not like the rest of the grid.

Ok, I'm done.

Bravo!

I still can't get over 8 vs 8. So small!

Looking at the game with eyes blind to my prior knowledge of the game, I'd say this was budget title.

ATM, The gametrailers score was the highest out of all the reviews I've seen, the lowest being IGN: 6/10. I had some difficulties with this game about how it'll turn out to be and it turns out I was partially correct but I'll have to try it out myself to decide how right these reviewers are.

Keep in mind the same guy who reviewed Brink for GameTrailers is the guy who was completely thrown off by Battlefield BC weapons that didn't shoot in a straight line, he couldn't wrap his mind around shooting in bursts to be more accurate. That one bit in that review has always bugged me since I think the burst shot worked extremely well in that game.

I'm worried about all the comments of the game CTD'ing like a lot of my other games, STALKER COP, Oblivion, etc.
I give this game 2 months and if it's not properly patched eh .........

To hell with the points, game reviewers who gave Crysis 2 almost 9 out of 10 are insane. There are a lot of games which I enjoy even if they are a far from perfect (Stalkers, Risen, ARMA 2 anyone?). You know why? Because these games are unique, and give you something that can't be found anywhere else, and if Brink will do the same thing supported with a good community, I will be happy. Do not get brainwashed by the big-f@cking online media and it's mental slaves, who only care about the next CoD or Battlefield.

I really like this game. It is very different from your standard FPS. I like how your can level up somewhat fast, which forces the player to create another character that would be strong in a different class. There are a lot of good things about the game.

The only problem with the game is the awful connections, and the limited amount of maps. However these can be fixed with patches and DLC. I think an 8 out of 10 is a fair rating.


All the people who base their oppinions on someone elses reviews should Please continue, my good sir.! The only people who have the right to bash the game are the people who bought it. I bet if you could prestige in Brink then this game would have gotten a 9.5 out of 10.

So,there is hope i see.

There are people out there,in this twilight zone that still can think for their own.

Thank goodness for that and thank you sir for posting so i know you walk among us.
